^ I don't normally like sweet and sour but I'd totally eat that!
Live and let live
and finally, banoffee cupcakes
Even the smallest person can change the course of the future
Oh goodness me *drool*. Wow! Are you willing to share any recipes? Are those chocolate chips on top of the banoffee cupcakes, or toffee pieces? If the latter, where did you buy them or how did you make them? They look sooooo good!
Live and let live
http://www.newvegantable.com/2009/10/vegan-toffee/ was where I got the toffee from, then I just broke it into little chips to put on top. and I just used a mashed banana in a normal cupcake recipe and some leftover banana nesquik powder in the icing (these were made in my very early days!) which I'm not 100% sure is vegan so I never used it after that.
Even the smallest person can change the course of the future
A vegan toffee recipe! Awesome! And it doesn't look too difficult either so I will definitely try that! Is the end result chewy or brittle?

A few meals from the last week:
Monday: Khobez, whole wheat tortilla, primal strip, houmous & salad
Tuesday: veggie pot pie stew (appetite for reduction), brown rice, roast parsnips & cold baked beans
Wednesday: Baked potato, Cholent (veganomicon), sprouts & carrots
Thursday: Chikin Cacciatore, brown rice with onions & peppers
Looking good FaerieSuzy, Risker and Firestorm
Firestorm- what exactly is Khobez?
Hollyland sell theirs in Sainsburys, kind of like pitta breads but bigger!

Ma po tofu with sesame noodles.
Todays empires, tomorrows ashes...
The tofu looks yummy, whats the sauce made of? if you don't mind me asking
Not at all! I used this recipe - http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/01/the-temporary-vegetarian-vegan-ma-po-tofu/
I didn't follow it exactly but it was really lovely. Next time I'm gonna make it hotter, I wimped out and only used one tablespoon of hot bean paste!
Edit: I also used firm tofu instead of silken cause I don't really like silken in savoury dishes.
Todays empires, tomorrows ashes...

I can see why you took it easy with the hot bean paste!
Thanks for the link Barry, I will definitely try this.
Massive backlog of photos, slowly starting to upload them all. Here are some.
Stuffed marrow with quinoa , kale, mushrooms, edamame, butternut sauce and a tomato, garlic and basil sauce. Lousy photo but it tasted good! (My recipe)
Lunch buffet at 222 Veggie Vegan. All of it delicious.
Cheesecake from 222 Veggie Vegan
Chocolate fudge cake from 222 Veggie Vegan
Bruschetta (tomato and basil; mushroom and garlic) (my recipes)
Lasagne verdi. Spinach and mushroom lasagne (my recipe) with tofu ricotta (Veganomicon). Served with caramelised red onion, tomato and basil salad with balsamic reduction (my recipe).
Lasagne Verdi leftovers!

A few more, then I'll take a breather before uploading cupcake photos from two charity bake-sales I did in September (if people like photos of vegan cupcakes?).
Macaroons. Chocolate, strawberry, orange, lemon, lime. Adaptation of recipe from the Vegan Patisserie.
Jaffa cupcake. Tasted better than it looked (you can't really see the orange jelly in the photo). My recipe.
Mushroom meal. Made for my Mum, who loves mushrooms! Stuffed mushrooms with quinoa, butternut squash, red onion, peppers, edamame. Mushroom rice with mushrooms and peas. (Both my recipes.) Served with mushroom gravy (Veganomicon) (not in photo, oops)
Silken chocolate mousse cake (from My Sweet Vegan)
Meal from Bamboo Garden, Seattle. Spring roll, special fried rice, chow mein and something the name of which I forget but which was very tasty (dumplings, broccoli and carrot). Was a bit heavy and far too much food for one meal, but they gave me a take away box and it kept me going for three meals!
Live and let live
Everyone's food looks great! I especially like the looks of the Banoffee cupcakes, the ma po tofu, and that mouth-watering lasagne verdi!
Sigh... Hungry again. Happens everytime I come in here!
Hangover breakfast (Porridge, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Peanut butter & Ecomil choc almond dessert):
Lunch (Vegourmet quiche, Vegourmet and onion wrap with a cheesy sauce & salad):
That is my kind of porridge!
"To reduce suffering means to reduce the amount of ignorance, the basic affliction with us." -Thich Nhat Hanh
OK. I have been wanting to ask this for weeks, but I have not, due to possible embarrassment for asking what is probably obvious to everyone else. What grain is porridge made from? Is it oats, like what Americans call oatmeal? If not, please enlighten me, because it looks REALLY good. Jealousy about those yummy photos has forced me to ask! My Irish, English, Scottish, and French ancestors are probably rolling in their graves right now, disgusted with my silliness. LOL

Chili! I used 4 different types of beans and decided to eat it with corn instead of the usual rice =)
My meals look kind of lame compared to everyone elses, but next time I bake a cake I'll get a good picture!
Personally I think your meals look lovely!
All these dishes look wholesome and delicious!
Firestorm, is that actually you in your avatar for once? Looks like Daniel Bedingfield!

I woke up late this morning (10 hours sleep - more than I have had since 2006) famished with low blood sugar so made this (Pan fried mushrooms, scrambled silken tofu with mayo, defrosted Vegourmet, fried tomato, baked beans, potato cakes and Vegetarians choice burger):
^ that looks delish, just the kind of food i want right now
Looked at this thread loads and it's all so healthy. This must be fixed!
Falafel, pepper and hummus wrap with hot chilli sauce
Sweet pepper, mushroom and chilli pizza.
Might look rubbish, but both amazing. Veganism's far too healthy, I've been after something greasy and stodgy for ages. Firestorm's fry up looks amazing though.
My only objection to Firestorm's fry up is that I much prefer sausages to burgers. So I would ditch the burger, replace with a couple of sausages (Linda McCartney/Redwood/ Fry's, all good!) and then devour. Nom!
Live and let live
I'm trying to use things up out of the freezer and I'm using my sausages for Toad in the hole tomorrow (some how burger in the hole just doesn't sound the same) so it was burger or nothing

Football scrimmage filled with good, bad
After one week of practice in preparation for the 2013 season, the Stetson football coaching staff got their first opportunity to evaluate the Hatters in a scrimmage setting Saturday night at the Athletic Training Center.
The two-and-a-half hour scrimmage opened with a long special teams period that included 27 total reps on kickoffs, punts and PAT/field goal. After that, the offensive and defensive units squared off for 114 plays.
The result of all that work was nine touchdowns, three passing and six rushing, to go along with six turnovers, three on fumbles and three on interceptions.
"We turned it over too much on offense, but the good thing is that we did turn it over on defense," Hatters head coach Roger Hughes said. "The bad on defense is that our run defense is not where it needs to be. We need to be much better, and our conditioning is not where it needs to be to make that happen. We have to be in better condition than everyone else."
Despite putting the ball on the ground six times in the scrimmage, losing three fumbles, the Hatters piled up 337 yards rushing on 65 total carries. A.J. Washington was the break-away leader among the running backs, carrying the ball 15 times and piling up 131 yards and three scores. He capped his evening with a 78 yard touchdown run during a two-minute drill late in practice.
Even with all of the rushing yards the team piled up, the running backs were the last to leave the field after the scrimmage, putting in a little extra work with assistant coach Atif Austin as a reminder on the importance of protecting the ball.
Beside the running game, the offensive production was spotty. Starting quarterback Ryan Tentler led two quick touchdown drives early in the scrimmage but finished the evening just 4-of-9 passing for 91 yards and a score.
All six quarterbacks got into the action with similar results. The totals for the passing game were 19-of-49 attempts for 233 yards, but all of the passers suffered from having passes dropped.
"Offensively, there were some good spots," Hughes said. "Tentler took them right down the field and Jonathan Jerozal (3-6, 40 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT) showed some good signs. It is never as good or as bad as it looks.
"What we have to do is find a way to get the ball to our playmakers. Chris Crawford (two receptions for 25 yards) didn't touch the ball much tonight and we have to get him the ball. We'll look at that and start fine tuning. We just have a few more things to put in offensively, then it will just be a matter of improving execution."
While Tentler opened as the starter in this scrimmage, the competition between him and Jerozal is ongoing.
"There is some great competition between Ryan and Jon and they work well together," Hughes said. "They work to help each other. I think we have two that can play. Nick LaSala got a lot of snaps tonight and we will have to access the film to see where he is. He was a little behind based on what we saw earlier, but we still have to find a number three."
LaSala completed 4-of-14 passes for 45 yards and led one 10-play touchdown drive. Junior college transfer Blake Plattsmier led the most scoring drives, three, but completed just three of seven pass attempts for 21 yards.
The standout among the receivers was Devon Garnett, who had two catches for 58 yards. He had 50-yard reception from Tentler to set up a score and then hauled in a nice 8-yard TD pass from Jerozal.
The Hatter will take a break from practice on Sunday, holding meetings and getting in some conditioning, before jumping back in with a pair of practice sessions scheduled for Monday.
"We are going to do a little fun run tomorrow, but we mostly want to get them off their feet," Hughes said. "We want them to get their legs back a little because, on Monday, we are going to go right back into a two-a-day. We'll focus on the run game in the morning and the pass game in the afternoon.
"We got a lot of work done today. We are still a long way from being a good team, but they still have a chance to end up being pretty good."

How many hard drive install how-to's do we really need?
hey, to solve ither people bother ill just type how i got BT3 livecd to run from hard drive so u dont need to install it which is a much better solution imo.
download iso and mount it using mount -o loop blaa.iso /mnt/
copy the subdirectory on the cd BT3 to /, then copy the boot subdirectory to /BT3/ and unmount the cd.
optional step:
gunzip /BT3/boot/initrd.gz, mount the ramdisk using
gunzip initrd.gz
mount -o loop initrd /mnt/
u can edit linuxrc if u want to change that BT3 name to something else... and install drivers if u need that or whatever for ur BT3.
umount /mnt/
gzip -9 initrd
use this grub entry by adding to ur grub conf (usually menu.lst)
title Backtrack
kernel /BT3/boot/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 from=/dev/sda1 root=/dev/ram0 rw nohd
initrd /BT3/boot/initrd.gz
the from, root and nohd params are most important here. its saying load the data from harddrive and run it from memory.
How many hard drive install how-to's do we really need?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

There are two kinds of films that Roland Emmerich specializes in: the city-smashing disaster epic, as seen in Independence Day (1996), Godzilla (1998), The Day after Tomorrow (2004) and 2012 (2009); and smaller, nuttier quasi-historical films like The Patriot (2000), 10,000 BC (2008) and Anonymous (2011).
So it is with a certain inevitable trepidation that I greet the news that Emmerich is producing a six-hour mini-series about T.E. Lawrence, the British soldier who is known to the world as "Lawrence of Arabia".
Thankfully, the series does seem to have at least one serious biographer on its side, said person being Michael Korda, author of the 2010 book Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia. So maybe that will help rein in some of Emmerich's crazier impulses.

It's still only a phone
Larry the Free Software Guy — who, when the occasion arises, always leads off his blog in the third person, rather than to just say "I" since that would be too easy — was about to write about another topic this time around. I owe Jeff Hoogland a blog item on Bodhi Linux, which I tried and liked (more in a later item), as well as the original topic of this missive, which was my take on the new and, um, improved desktop environments in Natty Narwhal and Fedora 15 which are getting a lot of play lately. More on this in another blog, too.
But yesterday I got sidetracked. Blame Android.
Recent history: Kyoko dropped her HTC G2 twice and it went a little loopy, so off to somewhere in Pennsylvania it went for a few days. Meanwhile, I gave her my unlocked Palm Pre 2 to use while it was being repaired and she has taken a liking to it. So we switched phones and I got the HTC when it was returned. As it turned out, rather than blogging, I spent yesterday getting used to my new phone with Android.
I like Android. I mean, I really like it. While I was starting to warm up to WebOS and while I think the HP offering has much in the way of potential, Android is just head and shoulders over WebOS. It is just a great OS for the hardware it's running on.
This is where the love affair comes to a screeching halt. No matter how great it is, it's on a phone. It's running on hand-held hardware which, when looking at it, is still only a phone, when all is said and done.
I know it does a lot of other stuff. Let me explain why I say this, and I'd gladly plead "guilty" to the fact that this is purely generational.
Doing things with the HTC yesterday — calling, texting, checking out the GPS (a very, very cool feature) — was thrilling and filled with "hey, look at this" moments. However, it appears for what I would use the HTC for — primarily using it as a phone and possibily an occasional text message — leaves much of Android's abilities on the bench, so to speak.
Not only this, it begs the question: Why would I use Gmail or Facebook on such a small screen? Is surfing the Web really a viable option on hardware like the Palm Pre 2 or the HTC? I mean, you can do it, with a lot of pinching and expanding of the screen, but how efficient and logical is that? Do you really need to be that connected?
For all the cool things the HTC G2 does, and for all the cool things that Android does for it (and, again, the GPS is really cool), it is still only a phone. I'll keep connecting with the wider Internet with the laptop and desktop, thank you.

Once I watched a dude (admin dude) pull out his phone and
log onto his server at work and check "wireshark" he found
the problem they were having and solved it. We were eating
lunch, no hot spot, just his damn phone. Cool for him.
The Colonel, who loves his laptop, uses a dumb phone. Idiot
phone. Moron phone. It rings, I answer, we talk. Done.
That's all folks!
But the youngsters are doing stuff, tricky stuff with those
nifty phones. Five years ago it was just an idea. I am
jealous, old and jealous. If I had even one speck of nerd
DNA in my body I would be lugging the smartest phone on
Earth, you know the one, the Einstein phone. LtFSG is the
most tech savvy Luddite I know. We are buddies.

Chiron Global Unveils Sporting Suit Of High Tech Combat Armor, Rob Liefeld's Dreams Are One Step Closer To Reality [Video]
It's been a while, but one of ComicsAlliance's primary goals has always been to chronicle the many ways in which our world is becoming more like the work visionary comic book creator/prophet Rob Liefeld. It's happening, folks, and the sooner we all accept that, the better off we're all going to be. I'm not sure if anything will ever top the bayonet attachment that lets you mount a gun on another gun, but if anything comes close, it's going to be a high tech, lightweight suit of armor designed for the exclusive purpose of letting people hit each other with sticks.
This, my friends, is exactly what we're getting from Sydney, Astralia's Chiron Global and their latest innovation, the Unified Weapons Master armor. Meant for full-contact martial arts and weaponry battles, the armor can take a punch from a Muay Thai master or shatter an Eskrima stick upside the head with no ill effect to the wearer. It's actually pretty cool, as evidenced by the video below.

So...studies have shown that when Walmart enters a community, local stores/shops close down because they can't match the 'competitive pricing' of Walmart. That makes for fewer local employers who might actually be paying more than minimum wage.
How does Walmart keep prices low? Well, one way is by paying minimum wage. Another is by keeping as many employees as possible at less than full-time hours - denying them benefits.
Because of the impact on local business, Walmart tends to become a 'large employer' of people in surrounding communities who USED to work for businesses that are now gone because of Walmart.
Interesting read from the Economic Policy Institute:
. . . is it better to intervene directly and require employers to pay a living wage or to allow whatever compensation employers choose to pay but supplement it with government supports?
Here's the choices set up:
1. Pay a wage that allows workers to 'pull themselves up by their own bootstraps'
2. Allow Walmart to pay whatever they want, realizing that the workers will require some kind of gov't support.
If we pick #1, we get to bitch about folks on gov't programs who don't really 'need' them - because "even Walmart pays a living wage".
If we pick #2, we loose the right to bitch about how many people are enrolled in social support programs.
And let's loose that bullshit line about "they can get a different job," shall we? Walmart tends to decimate local businesses and leave very few options for those displaced workers. Not to mention the costs of moving (which, between deposits and first/last, juggling mortage/rent, etc, tend to cost about 3-4 mos worth of income). Many times, just 'working somewhere else' isn't really an option.

They'll Redefine Your Idea of Bookshelf Speakers
The term 'bookshelf speakers' sounds so stuffy. It just doesn't do justice to the sleek and windswept look of MartinLogan's awesome Motion 4 speakers. Set 'em next to your TV, mount them on the wall, or place them on a stand. They work great and sound BIG as front channel speakers in a mid-size home theater system or as surround speakers in a larger set-up.
The October 2010 issue of Sound & Vision magazine awarded the Motion series speaker system its "Certified & Recommended" honors. Reviewing a MartinLogan Motion system consisting of the Motion 12, Motion 8, Motion 4, and a Dynamo 1000 powered sub, Daniel Kumin says, "ML's suite produced very convincing movie-sound playback The Motions excelled in differentiating American Gangster's many different street-scene and interior ambiences, and vividly cranked out its kick-heavy '70s-soul soundtrack."
"A Breakthrough in Budget Speaker Performance"
"This is truly a breakthrough in budget speaker performance. No one on the staff guessed the price on the Motion 4s," notes Jeff Dorgay in TONEAudio magazine, which award the Motion 4 an "Exceptional Value Award" for 2010. "These speakers have got to be one of the best buys in high end audio today."
Inspired by the clarity and detail of MartinLogan's ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, Motion 2 features a Folded Motion tweeter and exclusive Folded Motion Cascading Bass Port technology in a compact and affordable package.
Key to Motion 4's performance is the lightning fast response of the tweeter's lightweight diaphragm combined with a large surface area (eight-times that of a typical one-inch dome tweeter). Motion 4 also has a 4" woofer with rigid dust cap and boasts bass response down to a surprisingly low 70 Hz.
The MartinLogan Motion Series
Inspired by MartinLogan's ultra-high-end electrostatic loudspeakers, the Motion Series was created to provide stunning sound for your ultimate-performance home theater or stereo. MartinLogan's dedicated in-house engineers carefully crafted the Motion Series to create an extremely affordable and compact product line that seamlessly blends the company's exquisite Folded Motion transducers with powerful, compact bass technology. The result is a smooth, refined sound with stunning dynamic range and jaw-dropping clarity.
Engineering Genius
What makes the Motion Series sound so amazing? MartinLogan's dedicated in-house engineering team started by utilizing and refining the most advanced, compact technologies and combining them with innovative engineering. The result is an emotionally engaging sound that rivals (and most times trounces) traditional loudspeakers of similar size and price.
Folded Motion Tweeter
MartinLogan's exclusive and highly innovative Folded Motion Tweeter helps gives Motion speakers their fantastically realistic highs. Lightning fast transient response, combined with a large surface area (eight-times that of a typical 1" dome tweeter) creates clear, highly dynamic, and precise sound.
The Folded Motion Tweeter works by moving air (which creates sound) perpendicular to the folded ridges of the diaphragm, similar to how an accordion works. This extremely low mass diaphragm "squeezes" air and requires almost 90 percent less excursion than the typical 1" dome tweeter, which drastically minimizes distortion while providing a lighting fast response time. The increased surface area also provides a wide, yet controlled sound dispersion to create a realistic and carefully etched sound stage.
Folded Motion Cascading Bass Port
MartinLogan engineers were faced with a daunting task with the Motion 4. They wanted to create a compact speaker with low-end bass reproduction found in speakers much, much larger. After many sleepless nights and a myriad of prototypes, they created the Folded Motion Cascading Bass Port. This brilliant solution allows a long tuned port, which is folded over itself (think of a trombone's tuning arm) to be compacted and squeezed into the Motion 4. The result is amazingly detailed low bass that can play at high volumes with minimum distortion, all thanks to the elegantly simple cascading fold that slows down and controls the air motion of the bass waves.
Vojtko Crossover
Contributing to the superb performance is the legendary Vojtko crossover. It is carefully hand-built using only the finest polyester film and low DF electrolytic capacitors, custom air-core coils, and low DCR steel laminate inductor for vanishingly low distortion and seamless driver integration. This precision-tuned network preserves even the most microscopic sonic nuances while handling the full dynamics of any source.
Curve Appeal
Complementing Motion's sonic accuracy is elegant yet understated styling. Flawless high-gloss, piano black finishes and subtle curves, along with MartinLogan's signature perforated grille, gives Motion Series speakers an elegant and timeless look. Tower models feature a real-wood veneer finish and a stylish aesthetic certain to blend with any decor.
Hook-ups, Simplified
Convenient push-style speaker terminals and curved inserts help guide speaker wire effortlessly into place. The rubber end caps on the terminal are also removable for the use of banana plugs instead of bare wire. So simple, you'll actually enjoy hooking up these speakers.
A 3/18-16 threaded insert located on the backs of the Motion 4 speaker accommodates installations where stand or wall mounting is desired.
"Certified & Recommended" 2010 - Sound & Vision Magazine
The October 2010 issue of Sound & Vision magazine awarded the Motion series speaker system its "Certified & Recommended" honors. Reviewing a MartinLogan Motion system consisting of the Motion 12, Motion 8, Motion 4, and a Dynamo 1000 powered sub, Daniel Kumin says, "ML's suite produced very convincing movie-sound playback The Motions excelled in differentiating American Gangster's many different street-scene and interior ambiences, and vividly cranked out its kick-heavy '70s-soul soundtrack."
"Exceptional Value Award" 2010 - TONEAudio Magazine
"Thats right. A pair of Motion 4s will only set you back $500. Though my head is usually up in the clouds listening to five figure speaker systems, this is truly a breakthrough in budget speaker performance. No one on the staff guessed the price on the Motion 4s; the closest bid was $800 a pair. Having just recently reviewed a number of small monitor speakers in the $1,500 $3,000 a pair range, these speakers have got to be one of the best buys in high end audio today. Add that Dynamo 700, which is wireless ready, and youve got an amazing speaker system for under $1,200, and a great foundation to a system in the $2,000 $3,000 range."
"If we are going to get more people excited about the world of HiFi, this is definitely what we need a lot more of. I am very happy to award MartinLogan one of our Exceptional Value Awards for 2010. Dont let the price fool you; the Motion 4s are worthy of the MartinLogan name on the box."

What is the Wetlands Reserve Program?
The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program that provides technical and financial assistance to private landowners and tribes to restore, protect and enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring eligible land from agriculture under a conservation easement.
What is the Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program?
The Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program (WREP) is a component of the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). It leverages assistance from NRCS partners to provide financial and technical assistance to eligible landowners to protect, restore and enhance wetlands and improve wildlife habitat, including threatened and endangered species. The Wabash River Corridor WREP project includes nine Indiana counties: Posey, Gibson, Knox, Sullivan, Vigo, Vermillion, Parke, Fountain and Warren. Farmers in those counties who have land in the Wabash River floodplain and meet WRP requirements, are eligible for participation.
What are the benefits of the Wetlands Reserve Program?
There are many benefits to the Wetlands Reserve Program. The program:
Landowner Use and Responsibility
In all cases, the landowner retains ownership and responsibility for the land, including any property taxes based on its reassessed value as wetland or nonagricultural land. The landowner controls access to the land; has the right to hunt, fish, trap, and pursue other appropriate recreational uses; and may sell or lease land enrolled in WRP.
The landowner may request uses which are compatible with protecting and enhancing the wetland and associated upland habitat. Landowners may make compatible-use requests throughout the life of the easement or agreement. Compatible Use Agreements may be issued for activities that meet the purposes and intent of the WRP, as determined by NRCS in conjunction with USFWS.
Additional information about WRP
To offer a conservation easement, you must have owned the land for at least seven (7) years prior to enrollment, with limited exceptions.
To be eligible for WRP, land must be restorable and be suitable for wildlife benefits. This includes:
The above eligible land may be matched on a 1:1 ratio with
Ineligible Land
Landowner Options
WRP offers three options to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands and associated uplands: permanent easements, 30-year easements or 10-year restoration cost-share agreements.
Permanent Easements
This is a conservation easement in perpetuity. The easement is attached to the property deed, ensuring that future owners of the property will preserve the wetland for generations. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will pay 100 percent of the cost of the restoration and legal costs to establish the easement. In addition, the landowner receives a payment for a permanent easement which will be the lesser of:
30-Year Easements
These easements expire at the end of 30 years. Easement payments are 75 percent of what would be paid for a permanent easement and 75 percent of the restoration costs. USDA will pay legal costs associated with establishing the easement.
Restoration Cost-share Agreements
This is a 10-year agreement (special circumstances may warrant a longer term) to restore degraded or destroyed wetlands and associated upland habitat. USDA pays up to 75 percent of the cost of the restoration. No easement is placed on the property and there is no easement or other land incentive payment.
1. Sign-up
Begin by making an appointment with your local NRCS office. At that time, you may:
2. Preliminary restoration plan and cost estimate
NRCS will visit the site and evaluate the land's eligibility, and rank it based on environmental benefits, restoration suitability, and cost effectiveness, in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Then, NRCS - in conjunction with the landowner, USFWS, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the local conservation district – develops a preliminary plan for restoring the wetland. The plan includes types practices, any necessary structures and estimated costs associated with restoration. The purpose of the plan is to examine the proposed restoration measures so that reliable cost estimates can be used for ranking and the landowner can decide if the restoration fits with his/her future plans for the land.
3. Competitive selection
Applications will be ranked to ensure that the most environmentally and economically valuable wetlands are restored with funds that are available.
4. Notification of acceptance
All applications will be notified of the status of their application, and whether it has been tentatively accepted. If accepted under the easement options, NRCS will make an offer to the landowner, based on the Geographic Area Rate Caps, for the value of the easement.
WRP Success Stories: "Restoring America's Wetlands: A Private Lands Conservation Success Story"
More than 11,000 of America's private landowners have voluntarily enrolled over 2.3 million acres into the Wetlands Reserve Program. The cumulative benefits of these wetlands reach well beyond their boundaries to improve watershed health, the vitality of agricultural lands, and the aesthetics and economies of local communities. Help us celebrate 20 years of restoring America's Wetlands and download this commemorative publication featuring success stories from the Wetland Reserve Program:
For more information on the Wetlands Reserve Program, contact your local District Conservationists.
Geographic Area Rate Caps (GARC)
The Geographic Area Rate Caps (GARC) are determined annually for the Wetlands Reserve Program. These caps are used to determine the set price of easement offers to landowners by county and by landuse type. Caps are set for individual counties with an ag land value used on those lands that are cropland, hayland or pasture. Non-ag land is used for woodland, wildlife land, and those lands that have not been farmed, hayed or pastured in the past ten years. GARC values are reviewed on an annual basis and approved by the State Conservationist in conjunction with the State Technical Committee.

Sharknado 2 set a ratings record for Syfy with almost 4 million viewers watching the first airing of the movie which was triple the amount of people that watched the first movie. During the airing of the movie, it also received 1 billion Twitter mentions which is an astronomical number. I actually have not got around to watching the second installment yet because it is something you have to prepare yourself for and can't just sit down when they tell you to watch it. you need a pitcher of adult beverages and need to prepare yourself for really bad acting and directing and sound and to convince yourself that you are not wasting a couple of hours of your life. So, pretty much like watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but with killer sharks and cameos from a bunch of people you have not thought of in years.

Beavers Rally for Walk Off Win!
The Oregon State Beavers were unable to come through with a big hit for much of the game, but they came through when it counted. Cleanup hitter Dylan Davis drilled a double into the right-center field gap scoring the tying and winning runs with one out in the bottom of the ninth giving Oregon State a 5-4 win over Texas-San Antonio in OSU's first game in the 2013 Corvallis regional.
UTSA took advantage of two Oregon State errors to take a 4-3 lead in the top of the eighth, and when the Beavers went down in order in the bottom of the eighth, things looked bleak for OSU, the #3 national seed.
However Tyler Smith led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk. He was sacrified to second by Andy Peterson. Then, Pac-12 Player of the Year Michael Conforto was hit by a pitch which put the potential winning run on base. As he has done so often this season, Davis delivered in the clutch. His gap shot brought home both Smith and Conforto, and the large home crowd broke into jubilant celebration.
Davis, who led the Pac-12 Conference in RBI during the regular season, finished the game with three hits in five at-bats. He scored two runs and drove in two. His game-winning RBI double was the only extra-base hit of the game.
Max Engelbrekt (5-1) pitched 1.2 innings of hitless relief to earn the victory.
UTSA will play Texas A&M in an elimination game Saturday morning, then Oregon State will play UC-Santa Barbara in a 5 pm game late Saturday afternoon. UC-Santa Barbara defeated Texas A&M 6-4 in the first game of the regional Friday.
UC-Santa Barbara is coached by former Oregon State pitcher Andrew Checketts. The Gauchos Director of Athletics is former OSU Assistant A.D. Mark Massari.
Radio coverage of the OSU vs. UC-Santa Barbara game will begin Saturday at 4:30 p.m. on Fox Sports Radio 620.

Heat allows for different views of Target Field
Sitting in the sun became unbearable for many fans throughout the ballpark during the first game of the doubleheader. Fans would leave their seats in search of liquids and air conditioned areas to cool off from the heat of the high noon sun. This mass exodus of fans from their sun scorched seats gave me the opportunity to view a baseball game at Target Field from a wide range of angles.
Here is a breakdown of the sections I sat in and some of my thoughts on the views around Target Field.
First view: Section 119 on the 3B side
I sat high in this section to stay out of the sun but I still wanted a good view of home plate. I watched the first couple innings from this position and it offered some good shots of the downtown skyline. It was great to be able to see the ball coming out of the pitcher's hand. The Twins were not firing at all cylinders at the plate so I decided another view was in order to get the bats moving.
Second view: Section 130 next to the RF foul pole
The metal bleacher seats in this section were very warm from being in the sun. This meant that there were plenty of open seats to find a view I liked down the foul line in right field. The front row was wide open and I slid in next to the foul pole. This seat offered some good shots of the outfield but the area in front of the scoreboard in right field was hard to see. This angle allowed me a great shot of Joe Mauer making a stab to his left at first base. There were hornets swarming around the foul pole so it was time to migrate to another location.
Third view: Section 334 in the furthest seat from home plate
During the memorial service for Harmon Killebrew, Jim Thome was seated in the furthest seat away from home plate at Target Field. This spot is the only place in the ballpark that a ball can reach the distance of Killebrew's 500 foot shot at Metropolitan Stadium. This was quite a high perch over Target Field and it offered a great shot of the downtown skyline. Needless to say, it was very hard to see the action from this spot in the stands. The best play I witness from this spot was Valencia reaching into the stands and catching the ball in the middle of the fans. The elevation from these seats made it tough to handle and it was time to move once again.
Fourth view: Section 128 next to the LF foul pole
I had sat next to the RF foul pole so it was only fitting that I explore the view from the the opposite foul pole. This foul pole seemed a little more squished with the stone wall being directly to my right. I preferred the openness around the RF pole over the feel around the LF pole. From this spot, the third baseman would sometimes get in the way my view of home plate. The heat of the day started to catch up with me and this spot seemed to be much hotter than the others I had been in during the day.
Fifth view: Section 109 on the 1B side
My final view of the day allowed me to witness two home runs being hit in the last inning of play. Matt Capps was not well received when he entered the game and the boo birds came out in full force when he allowed a home run to the first batter he faced. Fans started to make their way to the exits after Capps allowed the home run and this allowed me to get even closer to the action. Even without the full view of the downtown skyline, I enjoyed my seats on this side of the field. It also helped that Cuddyer ended the shutout with me sitting in this section.
Overall, it was a hot and muggy day in downtown Minneapolis but the views of Target Field were fun to take in. Exploring the different seating levels and views of the game was an experience that I will not soon forget.

i know the program is pretty shitty at this moments and if anybody wants to help me improve it can join the project.
Hi all, I was reading this:
www . phrack . com / issues.html?issue=64&id=13&mode=txt
and it's a good way to learn in depth how TCP works, and although making a basic tool to discover sequences and port wouldn't be such a pain, there some problem shown in this article that may be solved by using more evolued algorithms, like being aware of user trafic by making stats to discover IP_ID ...
I wonder if some of you knows some tools to hijack tcp sessions.
i know the program is pretty shitty at this moments and if anybody wants to help me improve it can join the project.
Nowadays, predicting TCP sequence numbers blind is problematic at best, albeit it is possible to fake the entire handshake completely blind, and if you are in a position to do so, it is far easier to MiTM the connection, or introduce tcp-breaks (look into injecting commands into telnet streams).
Datenterrorist has a good write up, TCP Hijacking tools in Perl or something like that, which is quite useful.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
datenterrorist), they've got some good information there for sure... here is what I found, the link for the page you are talking about = Programming TCP Hijacking Tools in Perl « Datenterrorist
also the P.A.T.H. project is referenced (probably a good place for more info on the subject) = P.A.T.H. -- Perl Advanced TCP Hijacking
best of luck... this is a topic that is quite interesting, especially since there is some good perl info out there ( I like perl alot )P.A.T.H is a collection of tools for inspecting and hijacking network connections.collection
Programming languages: Perl and C
Latest release: 0.8
Current version: P.A.T.H. preSTABLE
Supported operating systems: GNU Linux, FreeBSD
The project consists of a packetgenerator (constructing TCP/IP, UDP/IP, ICMP and ARP packets), a RST daemon (to reset TCP connections), a sniffer (with special mail and telnet modes), an ICMP redirection tool (to implement man-in-the-middle attacks with icmp redirect messages), an ARP redirection tool, an IDS testing tool and an automatic hijacking daemon for plain protocols (like telnet).
All tools feature both a Tk GUI and a terminal interface.
Please note that this project is in BETA state!!!
...and it comes with absolutly no warranty...

Kowalski was born in 1978 in Greifswald, Germany. He moved to Berlin with his family in 1986. In the beginning of the 90's the first techno releases from Detroit came to Berlin, and Kowalski was a big fan of those. Later on, he started making music on his Amiga, and in 1997 he bought equipment with a friend and arranged a studio. His first production "The Wide Theatre" was then released on the Tresor Headquarters Compilation (Tresor 094) under the name DisX3. That kick-started his career. Read more on Last.fm more

Power Balance Bands ....
I'm writing this as a non believer at the moment as I haven't tried the technology (giving it a go this weekend at a mates place), but anyone heard of these wrist bands ? A lot of sites say it's a hoax, but a lot recommend them too and the company itself has sold millions of them up until late last year. I'm not sure how new the product is, but there isn't currently a UK Site running from the main producers of it.
I have a friend who is one of those guys everyone has a mate like, who doesn't suffer fools. He got told about these bands, and being the level headed guy he is , he fobbed it off as a pile of crap. He now owns one after trying it and absolutely guarentees me they work. I'm not so sure , but I'm willing to try it , while trying to maintain a level head and not let the Placebo effect take control.
Anyhow, out of interest ... Vitor Belfort wears one and endorses the product (obviously for money!) : http://www.powerbalance.com/athlete-vitor-belfort Could it help him beat the Spider?
Any experience trying them here ?

The media miss the clear implications of Republican comments about Kennedy
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
John Mercurio has a good piece at National Journal's web page, looking at the dubious media meme that health care reform would have happened by now were it not for the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's absence from the Senate.
As Mercurio notes, both Democrats and Republicans have been pushing that idea for quite some time, though for different purposes. But I think he misses a subtle implication in the comments from some Republicans. Here's Mercurio:
Last weekend on ABC's "This Week," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Kennedy's absence had made a "huge, huge difference" in the health care debate. "No person in that institution is indispensable, but Ted Kennedy comes as close to being indispensable as any individual I've ever known in the Senate," he said.
For Republicans, it's a chance to humanize themselves at little cost. Worried that they'll ultimately be viewed as the party that blocked meaningful reform, they are using Kennedy as a convenient foil. If only he had been here, they say, Kennedy would have used his magic touch to reach a meaningful compromise, bringing us on board.
What I think Mercurio misses is that Republicans -- including McCain and Orrin Hatch, who he also quotes -- are using Kennedy to implicitly criticize Democratic Senators, suggesting that Kennedy, unlike other Senate liberals, would have caved by now. Here's another McCain comment from This Week:
"He had a unique way of sitting down with the parties at a table and making the right concessions, which really are the essence of successful negotiations," McCain said. "So it's huge that he's absent, not only because of my personal affection for him, but because I think the health care reform might be in a very different place today."
Got that? According to McCain, had Kennedy been active in Senate negotiations, he would have made "the right concessions." And what is the key concession Republicans like McCain have been demanding? The elimination of a public option. By McCain's telling, there is no health care agreement because Senate Democrats haven't dropped the public plan like Kennedy would have.
Hatch made much the same claim on NBC's Meet the Press last Sunday, saying of Kennedy "the first thing he would have done would have been to call me and say, 'Let's work this out.' And we would work it out so that the best of both worlds would work" -- then adding "I would never go to a federal government program. If we do that, we'll bankrupt the country."
So Hatch, like McCain, claims that Kennedy would have gotten an agreement done by dropping the public plan.
Republicans may be, as Mecurio says, using Kennedy's absence to "humanize themselves" -- but they're also using it to subtly bash Senate Democrats for not dropping the public plan, as they claim Kennedy would have done. Whether that is accurate, fair, or in good taste is for others to decide. But it is the clear meaning of their statements.

Hammerheads' Heaney still untouchable
Marlins' No. 3 prospect extends scoreless streak to 28 innings
By Brandon Simes / MiLB.com | July 26, 2013 6:53 PM ET
Andrew Heaney has seen his strikeout rate dropped significantly over his past four starts. But, since he hasn't allowed a run during that stretch, he'll take it.
Miami's No. 3 prospect allowed three hits and struck out four in six shutout innings to extend his scoreless streak to 28 innings and earn the win in the Jupiter's 9-4 defeat of Dunedin on Friday night at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium.
"I had good fastball command," Heaney said. "The second pitch I'll go to is the change-up. I also threw a couple sliders that weren't very good, but in the sixth inning their three-hole hitter [Mike Crouse] was up and I threw three straight sliders that were good, so it kind of worked out not having to use it early."
Heaney (5-2) dropped his ERA to 0.88 with 66 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings. Since whiffing seven in six scoreless frames on July 5 at St. Lucie, the 6-foot-2 left-hander has fanned 15 in his last 21 innings.
"My strikeouts have been down, which has actually been a good thing," the 22-year-old said. "I've been getting contact earlier in the count. I've been lucky and gotten good breaks with runners in scoring position, the guys behind me have been making plays, and my catchers have done a great job behind the plate.
"I guess it's just kind of fluky."
First baseman Ryan Rieger has had a great view of the streak.
"[Heaney]'s awesome to watch and awesome to play behind, too," Rieger said. "He has great tempo, pounds the zone, and comes right after guys. He's not a guy I'd want to face, I'll tell you that. He has a live fastball and a wipeout slider that nobody seems to hit. He's fun to play behind."
Heaney, who's allowed 13 hits during the streak, is also having fun.
"I just want to keep it going as long as I can," he said. "If I give up a run, I'll keep pitching and won't change anything. Obviously, what I've been doing has worked for me."
Rieger collected four hits and four RBIs -- both career highs -- to lead the Hammerheads' attack.
"It was a little bit of a shock because earlier in the cage I didn't feel good at all, but I just came out and tried to pick up the release point of the pitcher and put good swings on it," he said.
The 22-year-old came up in the ninth, needing a triple for the cycle. Instead, he blasted his second homer of the night and third in two games over the fence in center field.
"I was surprised because in the Florida State League not a lot of balls go out to center field," Rieger said. "I was running hard."
"It looks like [Rieger]'s seeing the ball really well, getting his pitch and not missing it," Heaney said. "You love to see a guy go out there and do his thing like that."
Marlins No. 18 prospect Brent Keys added three hits to up his average to .345. The 23-year-old center fielder launched his second homer of the season and drove in three runs.

Summerside's County Fair Mall has been closed for most of Tuesday morning due to an air quality issue. Colin MacLean/Journal Pioneer
SUMMERSIDE – Chalk this one up to a freak accident.
The County Fair Mall in Summerside was closed nearly all day Tuesday due an overwhelming smell of paint that had somehow permeated the building overnight Monday and into the morning.
Jim Corbett, regional manager for Crombie REIT, which owns the mall, said that he's never seen something like this happen before, and that the company is continuing to look into what might have caused the smell to circulate so strongly.
"It's strange. I mean honestly, this has not happened. I've been doing this for over 30 years and have not experienced this," he said.
The smell was so bad during the short time the mall opened in the morning that it was starting to cause minor respiratory problems for some customers and employees.
The mall was closed in the interests of public safety, said Corbett.
"So erring on the side of caution we decided to shut it down, bring in a firm like First on Site Restoration, put in exhaust fans and try to just move all the air out," he said.
The problem seems to have stemmed from a coating of protective paint that was applied Monday by a sub-contractor in the new Sport Chek location, in the recently renovated section of the mall.
The only stores to reopen on Tuesday were Sobeys and the liquor store, which were cut off from the rest of the mall.
Corbett said he expected the entire shopping centre to be open for business Wednesday morning. However, if something unforeseen was to happen and the building had to be shut down for a longer period of time, he would be contacting local media with an update in the morning.

The NAPPC Honey Bee Health Task Force
The NAPPC Honey Bee Task Force has several functions, determining each year the recipients of honey bee health grants that have for the past four years supported research in honey bee genetics, pesticide exposure, nutrition and management. In addition, the task force is dedicated to providing the latest findings and perspectives on honey bee health to the public, policy makers and the press. The following honey bee health issues have been provided by that task force. We hope you find them useful, and we welcome questions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Honey Bee Health
While honey bees are clearly not the only hard working pollinators that deliver a bounty to humans and other animals, their recent deaths from Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) starting in 2006 have captured the world's attention. To date, CCD has been defined as a series of symptoms, but the cause and the cure have remained complex and elusive. CCD is not the only problem facing honey bees; in fact, in 2010 the overwintering losses were at the same unsustainable rates of over 30% but the cause seemed to be less from CCD than from other problems. Below is a list of the variety of issues facing honey bees.
The North American Pollinator Protection Campaign Scientists Report on Honey Bee Stressors
|Nosema ceranae
This microscopic fungus can weaken or even kill colonies when the majority of workers become infected. Spores of the fungus survive on wax combs and stored food inside colonies. When workers eat these spores the fungus invades the lining of the intestine. Highly infected bees cannot digest efficiently and die earlier. Beekeepers use antibiotics and disinfection of hives to control this disease.
Thus far, more than 20 honey bee viruses have been identified. These viruses can impact bees in multiple ways, including killing developing larvae and pupae, decreasing the lifespan of adult bees, causing spasms and tremors, reducing cognitive skills, and impairing wing development so that bees cannot fly. Most honey bee colonies have multiple viruses, and the levels of these viruses can fluctuate throughout the year. Exposure to other stressors, particularly Varroa parasitization, can immunosuppress bees so that the effects of the viruses are more dramatic. The only treatment for viruses thus far is to feed the colony a solution of virus-specific RNA that enhances the bees' immune responses to these particular viruses, but these treatments only suppress the viral infections, and do not eradicate them. Other approaches that are being investigated include breeding bees with genetic resistance to the viruses.
|Bacterial Diseases:
American foulbrood (Paenibacillus larvae)
American foulbrood is an infection that kills young bees (brood) inside the wax cells in which they develop. This dead brood becomes a source of infection spread by workers nursing young brood. Some bees can detect and remove the diseased brood and this stops the disease from spreading. Beekeepers also use antibiotics to prevent the disease.
Pesticides are usually man made chemicals designed to kill pest organisms, that may injure plants or animals including humans. Pests cause economic damage by reducing crop yields directly or by producing crop, or ornamental plant diseases, or by competing with crops, or by reducing animal and human health, or by damaging buildings and structures. Pesticides are categorized according to their intended use as well as by their chemical composition. Pesticides are widely used and are divided into insecticides/acaricides, used to control insects and mites or ticks, fungicides used to control plant diseases; rodenticides, used to control rodents; and herbicides used to prevent weeds from competing with crops, grasses or ornamental plants. Pesticides usually contain an active ingredient, with a known mechanism for killing the target pests. Pesticides vary widely in their safety to humans and the environment and are sold as a formulation with added ingredients that augment the action of the active material when mixed in water for application. More than 1200 chemicals are registered for use in the United States and are used in some 18,000 separate products sold under a variety of trade names. People who apply the more toxic pesticides must have training and a state issued license to use these materials.
Some insecticides have warnings or bee hazards on their label because they are toxic to honey bees, causing honey bee deaths. If the insecticide has a sub-lethal affect on honey bees it may result in reduced larval survival, altered foraging behavior or shortened lifespan of adult bees. The extent of the sub-lethal affects is still unknown.
Honey bee colonies are healthier and stronger with access to pollen from diverse sources of flowering plants. However, floral diversity in landscapes has been reduced by intensive agriculture (single crops, few flowering weeds, limited hedgerows) and urbanization. In recent years, the pollination of early crops (such as almonds in California in February) has further increased the demand for strong colonies at times of year with few floral sources. Furthermore, changes in climate patterns may also affect seasonal availability of flowering plants. This requires beekeepers to use artificial sources (sugar syrup, corn syrup, and pollen substitutes) to try to meet the increased nutritional demands of their colonies. Varroa mites
Honey bee colonies are headed by a single queen who mates with an average of 12 males, and thus honey bee colonies are extremely genetically diverse. Several studies have demonstrated that genetic diversity improves the disease resistance and productivity of colonies, including their overwintering ability. Furthermore, strains of honey bees can have different traits - some forage for more pollen, while others are more adept at hygienic behavior, in which diseased or parasitized brood is removed. Several breeding programs are underway to develop stocks of bees that are more resistance to diseases and parasites, are better at overwintering in specific climates, and are productive and gentle.
|Queen Quality:
The honey bee queen is responsible for producing all the workers in the colony, and she lays up to 1500 eggs a day. Poor quality queens can severely impact colony health. Queens with low egg-laying capacity can limit the numbers of health workers produced, while unhealthy queens can die or be killed by workers, causing a break in brood rearing that again limits colony growth and productivity. Poor quality queens are consistently cited by beekeepers as a major factor underlying colony failure, and a longitudinal study of colonies indicated that loss of a queen or lack of laying by a queen was one of the two factors linked to colony loss. Several factors seems to impact queen quality, including rearing conditions and mating number.
Proper management of honey bee colonies is a critical component of their health and productivity. Many of the stressors listed on this page can be mitigated by using the proper techniques. Beekeepers need to place their colonies is appropriate locations, which allow access to adequate foraging sites and are distant from areas where pesticides are being applied (honey bees can forage up to 5 km away from their colonies). Beekeepers can provide supplementary nutrition, in the form of sucrose solution or protein patties, during periods of low nectar flow. Beekeepers can monitor for pests, such as Varroa mites and Nosema microporidia, and use chemical or non-chemical methods to control these as needed. Beekeepers can minimize exposure to pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, by systematically replacing used brood comb with fresh comb. Using genetic stocks of bees that more resistant to pests and pathogens is also an excellent way to reduce complications from these two stressors. Finally, rapid supercedure of poor quality queen honey bees can lead to colony losses, and thus purchases queens from excellent sources or rearing queens locally can improve colony productivity and health. For more information, please see the Honey Bee Best Management Practices guide that has been developed by the Managed Pollinator Coordinated Agriculture Program (CAP) and Project Apis m (PAm):

Current evidence demonstrates that a sixth major extinction of biological diversity event is underway.1. The Earth is losing between one and ten percent of biodiversity per decade2, mostly due to habitat loss, pest invasion, pollution, over-harvesting and disease3. Certain natural ecosystem services are vital for human societies. Many fruit, nut, vegetable, legume, and seed crops depend on pollination. Pollination services are provided both by wild, free-living organisms (mainly bees, but also to name a few many butterflies, moths and flies), and by commercially managed bee species. Bees are the predominant and most economically important group of pollinators in most geographical regions. The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO)4 estimates that out of some 100 crop species which provide 90% of food worldwide, 71 of these are bee-pollinated. In Europe alone, 84% of the 264 crop species are animalpollinated and 4 000 vegetable varieties exist thanks to pollination by bees5. The production value of one tonne of pollinator-dependent crop is approximately five times higher than one of those crop categories that do not depend on insects. Has a "pollinator crisis" really been occurring during recent decades, or are these concerns just another sign of global biodiversity decline? Several studies have highlighted different factors leading to the pollinators' decline that have been observed around the world. This bulletin considers the latest scientific findings and analyses possible answers to this question. As the bee group is the most important pollinator worldwide, this bulletin focuses on the instability of wild and managed bee populations."
Excerpts from the PDF
A Message from the Executive Director on CCD and Neonicotinoids
Many newspapers and online journals have reported that a major step forward has been made in the research to unravel to mysterious disappearance and death of honey bees called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). The assertion that CCD has been solved, however, is premature.
A recently released study has identified a link between the presence of both fungus and virus in the dead bees sent to the researchers to examine for the disorder. However, the researchers themselves are unclear about the exact form of the virus or whether this relationship between the presence of both fungal and viral elements is the cause or the effect of CCD. The true significance of the findings has yet to be defined.
Unfortunately, the results of this study have been distorted through what are usually reliable media sources. Media claims of a solution to CCD are, regrettably, exaggerated. Far from proclaiming that CCD is solved, news reporting should have signaled a new and potentially important step forward in the search for answers. Further adding to the confusion, the overwintering death rates for honey bees have continued at the same unsustainable and disturbing rate this year, but the cause of these deaths seems to be shifting AWAY from traditional CCD symptoms.
In short, exaggerated claims help no one, especially not bees. At a time when there are thousands of critical issues clambering for attention, declaring a premature fix for a highly complex situation is tantamount to condemning honey bees to less attention, research and real solutions to their plight.
Keeping perspective on results, demanding exacting science that withstands challenges, insisting on comprehensive and accurate reporting, and basing a prudent course on replicable science is the only way to ensure the future for honey bees, pollinators and the humans who depend on them.
While important research continues to unlock new clues, the beekeeping and research communities agree that this moment continues to be critical for the health of honey bees and all pollinators, and the mystery of CCD remains both complex and elusive.

Semi-Custom or Mid-Tech knives are knives produced by a process in which the designer has more direct--but not complete--involvement; parts of these knives may still have been made by others.
Leather is known for its durability and traditional appeal. When compared to Kydex it is preferred for its silence when bumped against other objects, as well as blade retention.
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
A tougher steel than S30V, it retains the excellent corrosive properties and ability to take an edge, but improves on the ability to hold that edge.
This product is USA born and raised.
Provides a traditional, natural look and feel to a modern tool. Wood absorbs shock well and is popular in axe handles.

'A goal the equivalent of 12,000 full season-ticket packages has not been reached, despite the efforts of three prominent businessmen to sell tickets to local businesses. Two months ago, the Sabres had 6,600 season-ticket holders. By the end of last week that had grown to just more than 7,400. "I do remain disappointed in season-ticket sales, but I hope this new effort will help me overcome my disappointment," Bettman said.'

Anthrax's Scott Ian releasing memoir in Fall 2014
Listen to Anthrax on iHeartRadio
Anthrax's Scott Ian says the time is right to put out his official memoir.
The guitarist teamed up with journalist Jon Wiederhorn to write the new book dubbed I'm the Man, which is due out next fall. Ian says taking "forty-something years of stuff" out of his brain and putting it on the page seemed like a very therapeutic thing to do. Plus, he jokes that he's probably going to start forgetting "these killer stories" if he doesn't share them now.
But on a more serious note, Ian says he wanted to show people that if he was able to make the life he wanted happen, then anyone can. He promises to cover everything from his upbringing in a "dysfunctional home" to escaping into the "turbulent world of heavy metal."
