Pegula Era Facing Irrelevancy Pending the "Tough Decisions"
Part 1: Whaley Must Go
December 21st, 2015
I will begin this piece by stating that I got suckered this season and not only drank the kool-aid but became one of the biggest cheerleaders of the move to get Ryan in Buffalo. I guess I'll just have to file this in a large drawer of "what the hell was I thinking's" throughout my life. Sadly I cannot even claim that alcohol was involved. While a diehard Bills fan that was personally at every home playoff game during the Kelly era, among many regular season games as well, my fan status had been in dormant mode for a number of years until this past offseason. Myself and a fellow Bills fan friend that lives in Florida even went to the Cincy game this season, our first in years, expecting bigger things. Well, pending some quick and hard-hitting decision-making on Pegula's part my fan status is getting ready to pack right back up hit dormancy again until such a time as the franchise pulls its head out of its ass.
The current situation for Pegula is, believe it or not, actually worse than it was at this same time last season. And yes, it is difficult to believe. This team needs a good housecleaning, it is obvious to anyone with a clear and accurate understanding of the issues of this franchise. The situation is not merely worse for Pegula now than it was last year at this time, but pending what he does to correct things, ironically, he might very well cement himself as an owner that is worse than Wilson ever was for as lackadaisical Wilson was about creating a winner.
Wilson at least has a little luck and the results of that luck in his corner in the late-80's and early 90's in establishing whatever legacy there is regarding the on-field performance of his franchise for over 40 years. Pegula has nothing except that he kept the Bills in Buffalo at this point, but sorry, that simply is not good enough. I think that I can speak for most fans when I say that we would prefer a winner in our current and old stadium than a loser and continued tradition of losing in a modern state-of-the-art stadium even if it is downtown amidst many amenities.
Pegula was responsible for bringing Ryan in, but has there ever been a bigger coaching flop in the history of the Bills in terms of the drop from the welcome to the fanfare to the final result in less than a season? I cannot think of one. Ryan makes the failures that were Mularkey, Jauron, Gailey, and Marrone seem like relative successes. The results certainly were not much different but the big difference is that Ryan has had more talent than any of them yet has posted no better if not worse results. Apparently Jets' fans attempting to warn us were 100% correct.
We will get to Ryan in Part-Deux of this expose, but suffice it to say that it's highly unrealistic to have a coach with a defensive system so complex that seasoned top-caliber veterans are just starting to get it only after a full season of play. This is impractical in an NFL era where a team can be considered fortunate to keep a defensive roster together for two or three seasons much less longer.
Part one of this piece is about Whaley and why he has long overstayed his welcome. In fact, the support for Whaley amongst certain contingents of fans is equally mindboggling as the play on the field was yesterday vs. the Redskins or on the season as a whole. Same for a regional media that apparently does not want to face facts, the facts on Whaley. Facts are facts and we'll stick to those instead of opinions which appear to be all that Whaley supporters have anymore.
First, Whaley was hired by the Bills in 2010, February 10th, 2010 to be exact. According to the team's official site, and corroborated by the wealth of parroting sports media sites polluting the ether, Whaley was hired to oversee player personnel!
From this link at the team's official site; http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-3/Whaley-named-Asst-GMDirector-Pro-Personnel/f2444030-483e-403c-bb59-204c46f3d4d8
"The Bills addressed a vacancy in their front office Wednesday announcing the hiring of Doug Whaley, who was named Assistant General Manager/Director of Pro Personnel. Whaley will have a multi-faceted role with respect to football operations.
He will oversee the franchise's pro personnel department …"
This made at least some sense at the time given the well-known fact that Nix was not brought on for his awareness in the arena of personnel, rather Nix was brought on for his ability to navigate the NFL scene and for his established ties to all things NFL. There should be no confusion, particularly since Nix, who hired Whaley, did not have personnel as a specialty as Nix was hired because of his connections within the NFL and his administrative savvy, in theory anyway as it always seems to be for the Bills, "on paper only."
Speaking of "on paper only," for a laugh let us look back at how the news of Whaley's promotion to GM was marketed, shall we, again, according to the Bills' official site; http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Doug-Whaley-named-Bills-general-manager/49e2e920-3b2a-48ff-950a-2c5d0b4004fd
From that announcement … ;
"In his three short years with the Bills his track record has been solid if not exemplary. When entrusted with fortifying the roster with pro free agents, Whaley acquired offensive linemen like Kraig Urbik off the waiver wire and Chad Rinehart as a street free agent. He and Bills Special Assistant Buddy Nix also picked Scott Chandler up off waivers from Dallas and filled what was a largely vacant tight end role on the club."
Urbik, Rinehart, and Chandler? Boy Howdy! Ironically, the most successful of the three is not even on the team any longer. And what, no mention of Andra Davis, Nick Pears, Nick Barnett, or Mark Andersen? How could anyone possibly have doubted Whaley's prowess. (deep-rooted sarcasm fully intended)
Seriously, if those were the reasons for his promotion, then those doing the promoting are out of their league. (pun intended)
Fans and media supporting Whaley cite the acquisitions of players like Mario Williams, Hughes, and the handful of draft picks that have actually turned out as Whaley and the personnel office under his supervision claimed that they would. But in the case of Mario the team grossly overpaid lest we forget. Overpaying for players is neither good, shrewd, nor wise management of the team's precious resources. As to Hughes, Hughes for Sheppard was a nothing-for-nothing trade at that time hoping that a change of venue would actually be good for both players for both teams, and which happened to hit for us, but was hardly a shrewd move to steal a highly sought player on the free-agent market.
Under Whaley's supervision some draft picks have worked out, but of those that have they have not worked out well enough overall and the ones that did not more define Whaley's tenure with the Bills than those that did. For example, Spiller in Whaley's inaugural season as "overseer of personnel" was a fully predictable horrible reach-gone-wrong for a gadget player that has amounted to nothing.
But in what should be the complete undoing for Whaley, the coup de grace if you will, and what should have gotten him fired no-later-than last season, was the massive reach for EJ Manuel in the 2013 Draft and the ensuing draft antics in Whaley's own personal interests but not the team's interest. To start, reaching for Manuel in a draft in which most credible draft analysts had him pegged for no sooner than the mid-2nd round to anywhere in the 5th, took buffoonery to an art. The only player from that Draft that is helping this team otherwise is Woods and even then, only marginally.
Whaley followed up that horrific decision by trading away the farm to get Watkins, a player whose collegiate accolades obviously did not translate to the NFL game nearly as much as the pundits were all saying, something that has been fully corroborated since then.
Of all of the WRs available in the 2014 Draft, two have exceeded Watkins' performance to date, Mike Evans and most notably Odell Beckham, and by a huge margin, but numerous others have performed comparably including but not limited to Jordan Matthews, Allen Robinson, and Jarvis Landry, all 2nd-round picks, Brandon Cooks, and Allen Hurns who went undrafted. Kelvin Benjamin also outperformed Watkins in his rookie season prior to having been lost for this season. All but Evans would have been available with the Bills' original 1st-round pick and without the need to have given up the 1st and 4th the following season. In fact, Whaley could have traded down, gained additional picks, and still landed a comparable WR in a draft forecast to have been rich in WRs. Again, horrible GM-ship.
Why did he do it? While it may not have been obvious at the time to those not wanting to see the truth, the reality is that he did it to attempt to resurrect the blossoming "bust" status that Manuel had rapidly been acquiring. Whaley himself is on record, on video even, indicating that he even realized that should Manuel, who according to him had the "It" factor, not work out, then he should be looking for a new job. Again, let's not let facts stand in the way, watch and listen to it for yourself;
To quote Whaley from that video, … "we wanna get to the point where people see us on the schedule, those players sit there and say 'hey, we gotta be ready, we better button-up our chin-strap 'cause we're gonna be in for a fight."
Has that happened since then? Clearly not.
Unfortunately, expending draft picks for players like Manuel, overpaying for players like Mario and making him the highest paid defensive player in the league when his play did not warrant that status, and then attempting to salvage his reputation by giving away the farm for a WR that was not even the best, by a margin, in his own draft class, is clearly not the way to accomplish that. Even draft analysts that believed that Watkins would be as good as his draft hype stated that the Bills gave up too much to get Watkins. The fact that Watkins has not lived up to that hype merely renders that decision even worse.
Furthermore, and here's where Whaley recognizes what his apologists apparently cannot even manage to see, he says the following;
"… as Mark says, that in three years maybe he's not [the quarterback of the future], then I'll be sittin' there sayin', hey guys, anybody got a job for me?"
Whaley realizes it, so why do his apologists not realize what Whaley himself does?
Not only is Manuel not the quarterback of the Bills' future, but he also was no better than any of the other quarterbacks in his draft. He should not even be taking up a roster spot at this point but is only because of Whaley, who has gone rogue. He was a reach at the time, in hindsight he was a day-three selection at best and has absolutely no future as a starting QB in the NFL. Yet, Whaley continues to attempt to shove a rhinoceros into a snack-bag regarding Manuel.
The Here-and-Now!
OK, so that was then, this is now. Here is why Whaley should be let go, and why today, with two games remaining would not be too soon even.
First, he has been and is now acting in his own personal best interests, not in the team's best interests. It was foolish to acquire Watkins in the method that he was acquired, but Whaley did so in order to hopefully make Manuel look competent. Both of those moves appear to be epic failures and if Watkins cannot manage to keep himself on the field for all 16 games next season his utility to the team as a reliable playmaker dimishes significantly on top of already not even being able to prove that he was anywhere close to the best WR in his own draft class much less prolific as many expected. As it is his play is drastically inconsistent. As it is, only one of his 100-yard games this season has come against a team that has a winning record, and then in a loss in which he disappeared in the 2nd-half.
Second, Whaley also clearly has a massive ego and apparently believes that he can do whatever he wants apart from any other opinions as to what may be best for the team and franchise. In other words, instead of treating the team as if it is an asset that he is entrusted to properly manage, he runs it now as if it is his own personal toy and fantasy team.
It is now well-publicized that it was Whaley that singlehandedly released Fred Jackson, the heart and soul of the team's lockerroom and on-field leadership amongst the players, without input from anyone else and contrary to the wishes of others . The move was lamented by both player and fan alike. While Jackson was clearly no longer the player that he had been, he still had value as a depth and situational player to be sure, but also as a leader that the team now sorely lacks. Whaley did similar with Cassel, and while Cassel is probably not much better than Manuel, he was somewhat better and for sure more experienced.
On a side note, if Jackson were to retire following this season, a distinct possibility, it would behoove Pegula to bring him back next year at the season opener to allow him to retire a Bill!
Either way, acting as a renegade regarding personnel matters can only spell trouble for a franchise, but also shows a massive disrespect and disdain for other elements of team administration and particularly for Pegula himself. If Pegula does not realize this then he has already lost control of this franchise.
Third, Whaley is a Donahoe pupil. Donahoe plucked him for service in Pittsburgh. Speaking of Pittsburgh, the Bills should root out all elements of Pittsburgh friends-and-family ties and move on from anything Pittsburgh related, it has done absolutely nothing but keep this team among the ranks of the mediocre at best.
In hindsight the team's drafts while Whaley has "overseen personnel decisions" in hindsight can be graded on or about the following:
2011: B+ (because of Dareus and Aaron Williams only)
2012: B (because of Gilmore and Glenn only)
2013: C (because of Woods and Kiko (McCoy) only)
2014: C (because of Watkins and Henderson only, but the Bills could have done much, much better without sacrificing the 2015 draft)
2015: C+ (because of Darby only who was widely known to have been the best cover-corner in the draft, Steward, O'Leary, and Lewis have contributed nothing significant, Miller is injury-prone and inconsistent in his play, and Karlos Williams has had two good games against Miami but has done little else averaging fewer than 4 yards-per-carry otherwise)
Ironically, this past offseason was perhaps the Bills' best in a while, particularly given the lack of a 1st-round selection in this past draft. But questions linger as to who was more in charge, was it Whaley, was it Ryan, was it Pegula, was it a group effort, etc. Ryan was clearly the one that wanted Taylor, not Whaley. It probably grieved Whaley to bring Taylor to Buffalo. Either way, even if it was primarily Whaley it is far too little and far too late and does not change his status with this team from being one of a conflict-of-interests between him and Pegula and the franchise.
There may be slight variation among objective draft raters, but not much, and this is simply not nearly enough to dismiss the rogue and bumbling elements to Whaley's methodologies. Again, he should have been fired following last season, to not do so now renders Pegula's ownership status as being worse than Wilson's so soon with no hope.
It also does not help when the owner's own son, clearly an avid Bills fan, has his opinions, which match the blatant reality, shut up and retracted in social media. Pegula is walking a fence here with incompetence and terminal sorry status on one side and correction and hope on the other. The first step in falling into the court of the latter is to get rid of Whaley, and now would be a grand time to let the search for the best available candidate commence immediately.
It's no secret, this season is over. Whaley and Ryan have done not only the unimaginable, but also the unlikely, they have actually taken last year's team, added talent, and rendered a worse on-field product. It truly boggles the mind!
We will see what Pegula does, but if he believes that caution and conservative decision-making is on his side, he is sorely amiss. He can ill afford to take his time in this matter. It is blatant as to the initial steps that must be taken, namely fire Whaley, and there is absolutely no reason, other than personal reasons of a friends-and-family nature, but this is a business, not a holiday party, to wait any longer. And while Pegula's at it, let him get rid of the other elements of this cancer that has plagued and plagues this team's personnel approach by firing Overdorf, Monos, Fisher, and Majeski as well, or be prepared to hire a new GM that will clean house as such.
Anyone thinking, which was unthinkable one year ago at this time, that the team could possibly have devolved to this state, but that it cannot collapse even further, is sorely mistaken. Sheer and utter hopelessness is next pending some "tough decision making" here very, very soon!
Part Deux on Rex Ryan next. In short however, I disagreed with a fellow Bills fan, reader, and friend, that talk of Ryan being fired would not exist after one season and when the Bills were 6-6 that they would not finish any worse than 8-8. At this point the Bills would be fortunate to finish 7-9 and I can think of no defense against firing Ryan who has underachieved with the talent placed before him as no coach in my memory has with the Bills.

What is thermal energy?
While we ordinarily associate energy with an object's overall movement or position or shape, the individual atoms and molecules within the object can also have their own separate portions of energy. Thermal energy is the energy associated with the motions and positions of the individual atoms within the object. While an object may be sitting still, its atoms and molecules are always jittering about, so they have kinetic energies. When they push against one another during a bounce, they also have potential energies. These internal energies, while hard to see, are thermal energy.

I've been going through an oral history project that I did with my grandfather probably about ten years ago now in order to get it into a good shape to share the document with my cousins and my brother. I came across this bit where I'd asked him his tips for selling. Fairly straightforward…
Bill Powell's Tips for Selling
Try your best to get something that people want. And try your best to get it to where you can sell it a reasonable price and try to be nice and polite and kind to people. Just do the best you can is all I know. I have sold all my life. I have found out what a prospect was. It took me a long time to find out when a person was a prospect. But a prospect is somebody that has the desire to buy and the money to pay for what he wants to buy.
You have to help people decide to buy what they want to buy. I remember one fellow that looked at a tractor two or three times and talked and talked to me about this tractor and twisted around and couldn't do this and couldn't do that and couldn't make up his mind. It was Ellis Bryant. And I finally said "Ellis, do you want this one over here or do you want this one over here." And he said "I believe I'll take this one over here."
And that's what he wanted all the time, but he never would say "I want this tractor." So I had to help him say this is the tractor I want. That's called closing the sale. And it took me long time to learn how to close a sale. I didn't know how to do it. I've been to lectures and this that and the other always talking about closing the sale, closing the sale. And I finally found out that that's what you had to do. You had to try to ask people questions with which they would respond with a yes or in the affirmative. And not be negative and ask them questions which would let them get negative with you.
I never did sell a whole lot of stuff, but I've sold all my life. I've made a good enough living, I never had any desire to get rich. I didn't have any desire accumulate a lot of wealth. I think I could have, if that's what I wanted to do, but I just never did have any desire to do that. But I always worked at something. Trying to do this, trying to do that, trying to do the other.
I was raised up selling. I was raised just like the Amish are raised now, we didn't have electricity or running water. We didn't have a bathroom. We didn't have anything, 'cept just plenty to eat. We raised enough chickens and eggs and milk to buy our groceries. And we raised enough hogs to sell in the year to pay the debts that we had on the farm.
And when we weren't doing anything else my daddy would buy and sell mules. 'Course that's a longer story, the thing I remember is the fact is like Amish had iron-tired farm wagons with a bed on 'em. We would hook up to a wagon like that, two mules and take a gate and lay down on top of the bed and go up and down the road trying to buy little old calves. And my daddy would try to buy 'em for 25 cents up to whatever he had to pay for 'em. And then after he bought 'em he tried to sell 'em for various prices, but usually tried to sell 'em for five dollars a piece. But if along late in the afternoon, somebody offered him about 25 cents more than what he paid for the calf. He'd say "Son, I believe we're gonna let this man have this calf. He might jump out of the wagon and break a leg or something and die before morning." He'd say "We'll just let him have that one and we'll have the quarter and tomorrow we'll go buy us another one." So I've just always been selling. Not a lot, but a little.
I really didn't know anything about Ford tractors when I started selling 'em. I could have just as well been selling steam boats or outboard motors or anything else. I know now that it's important to find out a place where there's a good market, where there's potential. Because there was a fellow in Columbia which is a town about twice the size of Lawrenceburg went in the Ford tractor business the same time that I did. Now he wanted to make money, he wanted to make it bad. That was his ambition. And he made a lot. But he sold a lot more tractors than I did, because he was in an area where you could sell a lot more, the potential was a lot greater.
But I didn't know anything about that, I just started selling Ford tractors because they were available here in this town. I liked the town. My wife liked it here and I liked it here. We just worked here together and did the best we could. Lot of people have a desire to leave a big estate when they die, but I don't have a desire to leave a big estate. I've always given a fair amount of money to church and given a fair amount of money to my family and fair amount to this that and the other. I've never tried to waste money. But I have never tried to make money just for money's sake.

"A gentle giant of politics": Tributes to BBC Yorkshire political editor Len Tingle after death at 63
BBC Yorkshire political editor Len Tingle has died at the age of 63 after suffering from stomach cancer.
Tingle, BBC Yorkshire's political editor for 17 years, had been diagnosed with cancer around a year ago and died yesterday in a local hospice.
A familiar face on BBC Look North and Sunday Politics, Tingle lived in the Huddersfield area for many years having being brought up in Cudworth near Barnsley.
He began his broadcasting career in 1981 with Central TV. He joined the BBC in 1989 and worked as a business presenter for BBC News in London, then moved to Leeds and worked as business and industry correspondent for six years before taking up the role of political editor in 2001.
He was also a regular voice on various BBC local radio stations including BBC Radio Leeds, BBC Radio Sheffield and BBC Radio York.
Helen Thomas, head of BBC Yorkshire, said: "Len was the gentle giant of politics in Yorkshire – as a colleague he was kind, honest and always ready to help others.
"As a political journalist he was passionate in the pursuit of the real story – for many he made sense of the changing political landscape in Yorkshire and it's a tribute to him that so many of the politicians of today and yesterday saw him as a journalist they could trust in good times and in bad. We will always miss him."
Tim Iredale, presenter of Sunday Politics in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, said: "I knew Len for 20 years. We were initially rivals, as I covered politics for ITV Yorkshire. Over time, he became a trusted friend and much-loved colleague.
"Len was in his element reporting live on location every Sunday morning for The Politics Show and later Sunday Politics. He believed politics was about hearing from real people across Yorkshire and not just following the latest agenda at Westminster.
"I shall miss Len's boundless energy and enthusiasm for what he considered to be the best job in the world."
Harry Gration, presenter of BBC Look North, added: "Len was a fearless reporter on political issues and was totally unbiased. He was also an incredible team player and often rang me with tips about how to challenge the big political hitters when they came into Look North. He will be greatly missed by his colleagues who all loved and respected him."

Prosecutors in Miami have decided not to retry the caretaker of long-missing child Rilya Wilson on a murder charge.
A memo released Wednesday by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's office recommends the charge be dismissed against Geralyn Graham. The 68-year-old Graham was sentenced earlier this year to 55 years in prison on kidnapping and child abuse charges, but jurors deadlocked on the murder count.
"We expected this would happen eventually but we didn't know it would happen today," said Graham's attorney, Scott Sakin.
The memo cites numerous difficulties with another trial, including the fact that Rilya's body was never found.
Four-year-old Rilya vanished in December 2000 from Graham's home but her disappearance wasn't noticed for 15 months, largely because a Department of Children and Families caseworker neglected to check on her.
The state's case hinged on jailhouse informants who say Graham confessed to them. Graham insists she is innocent.
The kidnapping and child abuse convictions remain on appeal, Sakin said. Graham had been facing a life sentence if convicted in the murder.

Google Friend Connect is a much-awaited service from Google that lets you add social features to any website or blog. For instance, your blog readers can join your site (remember MyBlogLog) via their Google Account and then add comments, rate pictures or even interact with other members who are part of your blog.
Google earlier opened Friend Connect for a limited number of users only but I suspect that the public launch of Friend Connect may happen very soon. That's because Google today released a new video that gives a short introduction to Friend Connect and unlike previous videos, this one is more inclined towards marketing the service to the non-developer crowd.
Google generally introduces new products or new features in existing products through short YouTube videos and this Friend Connect video may therefore be a hint about the public launch.
If you like to see Friend Connect in action, go to Orli Yakuel's blog and check the Friends widget in the right sidebar – that's an OpenSocial Apps powered by Google Friend Connect.

|Tropical Storm Debby
May's 30-year average rainfall for Jacksonville is 3.48"--we received 10.58".
June's 30-year average is 5.37" and it is the start of our five-month wet season (and hurricane season). So far we've had 21.25" with 12.5" in the last three days from Tropical Storm Debby. (This is the first time since they started keeping records of named storms that there have been four before July.)
The weather forecasters originally plotted Debby's path to go westward toward Texas, but she did not listen to their predictions and just sat there in the Gulf of Mexico for days and days. Finally, she turned east rumbled her way across northern Florida. Fortunately, she did not bring too much wind (except for a few tornadoes), but so much water has caused flooding, sinkholes, and slumping of whole roadbeds.
|A swale in a neighbor's yard allows stormwater to soak in, but this swale would be more effective if the turf was replaced with rain garden plants.
I've written extensively about rain gardens and I'm happy to say that ours have worked well. I'm especially pleased with our expanded downspout rain garden with its built-in drainage to a drywell. We all need to make more effort to keep as much of our rainwater on our properties as possible. It's better for our aquifers, which did not recharge enough after three years of drought, and it's better for our waterways, because any stormwater that travels across lawns, driveways, and roads will be carrying an excess nutrient load and various other pollutants.
For more details, see my article We All Live in a Watershed! that I wrote for Blog Action Day 2010 on The Florida Native Plant Society's blog.
Other rain-related problems or events:
|The squash plants are not doing well with the constant rain. Yes, they need plenty of water, but their leaves need to dry out between the rains.
Since the rains have stopped, the butterflies, wasps and bees have been thick on our native flowers, the beggars' ticks (Bidens alba) in particular.
From "The Twelfth Night" by Wm. Shakespeare:
The clown ends the play with a song including these two verses:
When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.
For the rain, it raineth every day.
A great while ago the world begun,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
But that's all one, our play is done,
And we'll strive to please you every day.
And so we gardeners carry on the best we can given the hand that Mother Nature hands to us. I hope that you are safe after the storm.
Green Gardening Matters,

To stay updated with the latest information in the beekeeping industry to may check out our beekeeping latest news. On the other hand if you're starting beekeeping and desire to begin professional beekeeping now download a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping can either be a full time profession or an easy hobby. Yet, more often than not, what began as a hobby would turn into a profession. But you cannot simply tell and determine yourself you will start to do beekeeping. Before starting on any avocation or profession, you need to have comprehension and adequate knowledge on the subject that you're going to enter. If you really have been putting off your curiosity about beekeeping for quite a long time, then it's about time to indulge yourself in your line of interest. Bee farming may not appear difficult; learning the fundamental beekeeping lessons can get you off to a great start.
What does a beekeeper should understand?
You should have interest that is complete on beekeeping to start at the right foot. You must spend time taking care of your colonies of bees. You should have also agreed to share your home space. There are possible dangers in beekeeping that can damage you but your family also. If you decide to let the bees inside your living space, then you definitely must understand equipment and the supplies you will use for beekeeping. Your focus is not only to make money by selling honey; a great beekeeper should have a keen interest and passion in raising bees.
An apiarist ought to know the right place for the beehives. The area must have sufficient sources of nectar for the bees to get. You have to make sure that beekeeping is allowed in your area if you decide to put your beehives at your backyard. There are several places confined to beekeeping; you need to get permission concerning this.
Beekeepers must know whether beekeeping supplies are available in the area where the beehives are situated. When you have to attend a nearby beekeeping shop you may never know; it's best that a nearby beekeeping shop is accessible.
Protective gear and equipment may also be essential for beekeepers to understand. Know the right kind of suit to pick to keep you from any potential danger in beekeeping.
Last but definitely not the least, among the beekeeping lessons you need to find out is that: it's not unimportant for the beekeeper to understand the proper way of harvesting honey. All the attempts that are beekeeping would be useless if you are incapable to harvest honey from your bees. The procedures should be known by a beekeeper in collecting the honey in the comb; beeswax is also part of the yields in beekeeping.

Acushnet only has a population of 10,000+ people. It provides a home for various industries in its boarder with New Bedford while also maintaining a back country feel as it abuts Rochester. Open space is a defining characteristic of Acushnet and a major component of the town's Master Plan.
Acushnet, located Bristol County, is a wonderful community and takes pride in its school system and its amenities. Each fall the local growers and artisans host the Apple/Peach Festival, Pageant and Parade, all of which attract many visitors and locals.
Acushnet was first settled in 1659. It has been included as a part of three separate towns throughout its history. It was formerly the northeastern section of the town of Dartmouth, which included the towns of Westport, New Bedford, and Fairhaven. In 1787, New Bedford separated from Dartmouth, and included the lands of Fairhaven and Acushnet. In 1812, Fairhaven was incorporated as a separate town, again including the lands of Acushnet. Finally, the town was officially incorporated in 1860.
The name "Acushnet", which is also the name of the river the town lies on, comes from the Native American Wampanoag word Cushnea, meaning "peaceful resting place near water", originally designating the fact that the tribe which sold the land to the Puritans inhabited the lands leading up to the river.
The City of New Bedford has been considering adding a boathouse on the New Bedford side of the Acushnet River in New Bedford's north end as part of a new parks and recreation compound.
Check out this video of the Apple/Peach Parade for a taste of the country feel of most of Acushnet.

Detroit's Theodore Anthony "Ted" Nugent From Detroit made a whole bunch of controversial pronouncments at the NRA convention.Seriously, Sara Palin looks like a rocket scientist compared to this washed out 70's rocker.
" If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year." he shouted at the delegates. What does it all mean. Is the nut-job threatened to assassinate the president? Is he inciting violence?
The comment was just the most controversial of the things he uttered over the weekend including: living under a government that is "wiping its ass with the Constitution," the comparison of four Supreme Court justices to a "stoned hippie," or even the plea to Republicans to "chop (Democrats') heads off in November.
This is the face of Conservatives.
Right-wing commentator and mythical spinster, Ann Coulter is going to have a challenge to out-due this nut bar guitarist!

Numerical Studies of Jet-Wing Distributed Propulsion and a Simplified Noise Metric Method
MetadataShow full item record
In recent years, the aircraft industry has begun to focus its research capabilities on reducing emissions and noise produced by aircraft. Modern aircraft use two to four engines arranged on the wing or behind to produce thrust that is concentrated directly behind the engine. Kuchemann suggested a way to improve the propulsive efficiency by changing the normal configuration of engine and aircraft. This concept is the jet-wing distributed propulsion idea, which redistributes the thrust across the span of the wings. Distributed propulsion is accomplished by using many smaller engines spread across the wings or several large engines to duct the exhaust flow in a jet-wing. The jet-wing concept can be used to reduce noise and also as a replacement for flaps and slats by deflecting the jet. Since the distributed propulsion concept is also a method to reduce noise, it's important to have a simplified method of calculating the trailing edge noise of a wing.
One of the purposes of this paper was to study the effect of adding jet-wing distributed propulsion to a thick "inboard" airfoil. The two-dimensional jet-wing model was analyzed by parametric computational fluid dynamic (CFD) studies using the Reynolds-averaged, finite-volume, Navier-Stokes code GASP. The model was set up to be self-propelled by applying velocity and density boundary conditions to the blunt edge of the airfoil. A thick "inboard" airfoil from a realistic transonic wing was needed for the study and so the span station of the EET Wing was chosen. This airfoil was thick with a thickness to chord ratio of 16%. In adding distributed propulsion to this thick airfoil, it was found that there was an increase in the propulsive efficiency as compared to typical modern high-bypass-ratio turbofan engines with no negative aerodynamic consequences.
The other purpose of this study was to create and assess a simplified method to calculate the trailing edge noise metric value produced by an airfoil. Existing methods use RANS CFD, which is computationally expensive and so it seemed important to find a less expensive method. A method was formed using the Virginia Tech Boundary Layer Java Codes which calculated the characteristic turbulent velocity and characteristic turbulent length scale. A supercritical airfoil, SC(2)-0714, was used to assess the simplified method as compared to the more computationally expensive GASP runs. The results showed that this method has trends that follow those of the GASP results with the method compare well up to modest lift coefficients.

New novel by breakout author, Kara Stanley, navigates Toronto's underbelly of urban grime, crime, and sublime. On the day that Lou James finds her father dead on the garage floor, she leaves her small hometown and heads for Toronto on a Greyhound, initiating a series of events that will reshape her life. Lou moves in with her brother and begins a new existence all the while trying to make sense of her father's unexpected death and the sudden loss of her place in the world.
Amidst the strangeness of life in Toronto, where vibrancy and violence mix, Lou builds a small community: Isabelle, the welcoming neighbour and new best friend; Sal, Lou's angry but big-hearted godfather; despairing Donnie, a troubled fledgling drug dealer; dreamy Finn, lead singer in a post-punk band, and mysterious Stella, the old woman who spends her days seated on the back steps of a locked church door surrounded by plastic bags and bottles of Pepsi. When a series of savage and homicidal acts plague her new neighbourhood, Lou, following in her journalist father's footsteps, attempts to investigate.
As her final year of high school unfolds, Lou comes perilously close to discovering the truth, and violence erupts, once again unravelling her world. She hops on a Greyhound, destination unknown, propelled by the urgent need to bridge the distance between the life she shared with her father and this precarious new existence where he grows ever more remote to her.
A graduate of UBC's MFA program in creative writing, Kara Stanley lives, works and plays on the Sunshine Coast with her musician husband, Simon Paradis. Her writing has been published in Fugue, HipMama and Paste and she is a contributing songwriter to the 2013 Stanton Paradis CD GOOD ROAD HOME and the 2015 Simon Paradis CD MOUTHFUL OF STARS. Her non-fiction book FALLEN: A TRAUMA, A MARRIAGE, AND THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF MUSIC was included on CBC's Best Books of 2015 list.
"Through her acute, compassionate, young narrator, Kara Stanley reconnects us with the raw and the mysterious, deftly cracking open the world with the Swiss Army knife of her prose. A thoroughly engrossing journey, sustained by grief and wonder." - John Gould, author of Kilter: 55 Fictions
"Lou is a young woman forced into adulthood in the wake of loss. Grief becomes the echo, the sound chamber in which Lou rebuilds her life while bidding farewell to her past. With heartbreaking brush strokes, Stanley has delicately painted a portrait of young resiliency, chosen family and the painful process of healing." - Catherine Hernandez, author of Scarborough
"... At its heart, Ghost Warning is a novel that embodies compassion, resiliency, and courage. The story and its unforgettable characters set in a vividly realistic portrayal of Toronto continue to linger long after reading. This is truly a must-read CanLit title!" - Ann Y.K. Choi, author of Kay's Lucky Coin Variety

Created exclusively by Joico Celebrity Artist, Riawna Capri of LA's Nine Zero One Salon
Actress Vanessa Hudgens hit the holiday-party circuit with Joico going along as her "plus one," thanks to celebrity hairdresser-to-the-stars, Riawna Capri, and two of her favorite products: Joico Hair Shake Finishing Texturizer Spray and K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Treatment.
Her look? This Texture-and-Faux-Braid combo, that adds a modern, festive twist — without the usual jump-through-hoops, time-consuming steps of traditional holiday 'dos.
Here's how Riawna made the magic happen…
Step 1: First up was Joico's K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Treatment — an instant revitalizer for Vanessa's hair that added mega shine, moisture, and showed off the vibrancy of her brunette color.
Step 2: Riawna added "messy" waves and texture with a curling iron, then finger-tousled strands for a mismatched look.
Step 3: Joico's Hair Shake Finishing Texturizer Spray was up next — the perfect way to give Vanessa's hair instant grip and texture.
Step 4: Using a small elastic band, Riawna took a section of hair on one side and made a small ponytail a few inches away from the scalp.
Step 5: From there, she created a small opening in the center of that sectioned hair (between the band and scalp), and pulled the ends of the pony under and through that opening. Next, she followed the same step with another section of hair directly under the first one and combined the ends. Riawna repeated this move to the desired end point — just behind Vanessa's ear. A few bobby pins and another elastic secured the faux braid, guaranteeing it wouldn't budge all evening long.
Step 6: To finish the look and hold it in place, Riawna sprayed Joico's Hair Shake Finishing Texturizer Spray right on the braid; then pulled on the sides of the braid and sprayed again with Hair Shake for additional texture and interest.

text: I've been to Coronado Island at least 4 or 5 times in my life. I've been with my mom and grandmother, my sisters, I went with a groups of friends one weekend in college, Dave and I spent an afternoon there on our first anniversary and we took Trevor and Colin to play at the beach there about 3 years ago. I love the whole Island - I love everything about it and if I were rich I would have a vacation home there. I love the way it looks, the cute houses, the main street with the shops and restaurants and I love the hotel - the famous Hotel Del Coronado. Ever since the first time I visited Coronado and we walked around the hotel marveling at the beautiful grounds and lobby, looking at old pictures from when it was new and reading about it being haunted I've wanted to stay there. Every time we visit I have to sit on the beach by the hotel so I can turn around and look up at it every now and then. It's not an exotic location, a far away dream vacation that you spend years planning and saving for. But I've always wanted to stay there and one of these days, when it's my turn to plan our anniversary, or on a whim when I want a romantic weekend, a get-a-away from the kids and everything else, I'm going to book a room at The Del. But for now, I'm just going to dream about it.

Thomas and I ventured over to the Yahoo Search Night Off and it proved to be a great time. Yahoo hosted a pretty good sized event with an all you can eat/drink barbeque.
After running into a few search folks including Chris Sherman of Search Engine Watch (who has a new search book out called Google Power btw) and catching up with Andrew Goodman of Traffick, who's long overdue second book on Google AdWords should be out any day now, we decided to venture out to the Top Gun rollercoaster nearby. I have not been on a roller coaster in years. All I can say is, front row of the Top Gun coaster is nothing less than awesome. Great enough to ride it 3 times.
And then it was time to go with a cool black Yahoo T-shirt on the way out. Here's a few pictures courtesy of Thomas. Unfortunately I did not make it to the Ask Jeeves or MSN parties but I am sure fun was had by all.

A Rather Large Beauty Haul (Part Three)
Welcome to the final part of my mammoth beauty haul. I took advantage of the Superdrug 3 for 2 offer and ordered some products that have been on my list for ages.
First up is the Real Techniques Brush Cleanser which I've been eager to get since trying the Beauty Blender Cleanser. I'll definitely get a review up once I've tested it and depending on how things go, I might do a comparison post between the two.
The L'oreal Infallible Fixing Spray has also been on my list after hearing such good things about it. I've got the Urban Decay one so I'm eager to try this to see how they compare. Also from L'oreal are their new Infallible Sculpt contour kits. I wasn't entirely sure which shade to get so I just ordered both as I'm normally right in the middle with contour shades. I also had no idea that they were cream to powder formula's!
I bought a few things from Bourjois and Barry M. From Bourjois I picked up the City Radiance Concealer in Dark Beige as I've read so many rave reviews. I also picked up Inge-Nude and Cocoricorail from the Aqua Blush range which is one of my favourite cream products for Summer. Finally from Bourjois, I picked up the Instant Dry Nail Drops which are designed to speed up the whole process of your nails drying. From Barry M, I picked up Fuchsia Generation and You Drive Me Navy from the Sunset Gel line, as well as the matching top coat.
So that's it for my three part beauty haul! I think I'm going to go on a self imposed spending ban after all the shopping I've been doing! Well, maybe after my next trip to a Charlotte Tilbury counter...
Thanks for reading,

Stocks To Watch: Avid Technology, Royal Dutch Shell, McKesson
By Corrie Driebusch and Drew FitzGerald
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Thursday's session are Avid Technology Inc. (AVID), Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA, RDSB) and McKesson Corp. (MCK).
Avid projected a first-quarter operating loss on revenue well below Wall Street estimates. Shares dropped 15% to $8.75 premarket.
Royal Dutch Shell shares traded down after the company reported a "light sheen" Wednesday in the central portion of the Gulf of Mexico, although the company says it has no "current indication" that oil is coming from nearby wells. Royal Dutch Shell's American depositary Class A shares traded down 3.8% to $65.18 premarket on worries that the sheen could develop into a bigger situation, like Total SA's (TOT) gas leak at its Elgin field in the North Sea, or BP PLC's (BP) Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico nearly two years ago.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded drug wholesaler McKesson a contract worth about $4 billion a year to supply medication to VA facilities, despite a push from competitors to take the business. Shares were up 4.3% at $91.65 premarket.
Pacira Pharmaceuticals Inc. (PCRX) plans to offer more common shares to advance the commercialization of its painkiller Exparel. Shares were down 2.2% to $9.90 premarket.

Marine science: Coral reefs on acid
Artificially increasing the acidity of seawater flowing over a natural coral reef community in the Great Barrier Reef reduces coral calcification by about one-third, reports a paper published in Nature this week. Ocean acidification poses a significant threat to tropical coral reef ecosystems by reducing the saturation state of the aragonite mineral of which coral skeletons are primarily composed, and by lowering the concentration of carbonate ions required to build the reef. The findings suggest that near-future reductions in the aragonite saturation state of the ocean will compromise coral-reef function.
Coral reefs feed millions of people worldwide, provide coastal protection, and generate billions of US dollars annually in tourism revenue. Past research on the effects of ocean acidification on coral reefs has focused on the reactions of individual species instead of evaluating more complex, community-level responses. The ability to predict changes in ecosystem function and associated services ultimately hinges on our understanding of community- and ecosystem-scale responses to environmental changes.
Rebecca Albright and colleagues exposed a 400-m2 area of natural coral reef community in the southern Great Barrier Reef to decreased aragonite saturation states, simulating the levels that are expected to occur later this century if deep cuts to global CO2 emissions are not made. In contrast to laboratory settings, CO2 enrichment in the natural environment allowed the authors to monitor the calcification response of an entire coral reef community to acidification under natural temperature, light, and nutrient conditions. The authors observed that net community calcification was reduced by 34% in the acidified reef, which has the potential to significantly compromise the ecosystem.

People take great pride in their homes and want them to look nice for themselves and those visiting. They also like their home to reflect their personality and personal tastes, and for this reason people's homes are as unique as the individual that owns them. People put their personal touch to every aspect of their home but one area is often either forgotten or neglected, and this is the flooring in your home. Your floor isn't just something to walk on but can add to the décor in the same way that it can take away from the décor if it doesn't fit with it or is not well maintained.
There are a range of different kinds of flooring to choose from these days. Many people like the practicality and insulation of carpeting, although some find it a bit dated and artificial looking. Another kind of artificial flooring is lino or laminate. These kinds of flooring can be popular for floors that need to be mopped for hygiene reasons and so are often constrained to kitchens and/or bathrooms. For rooms that are more for homely reasons, like the dining room, lounge and bedroom, people often prefer something a little more natural, which is why a newly popular option is wood flooring Yorkshire wide.
If you are looking for wooden flooring Yorkshire way, there are a large number of different woods to choose from, mainly hard woods. These woods can then also be treated; stained and varnished in different ways and with different colours, so wood can become a very flexible kind of flooring that goes with any colour or style, from modern and minimalist to traditional with a more country feel.
There are a wide range of companies like Castle Floors, providing services for wood flooring Yorkshire wide, and what you should look for over everything else is quality workmanship. Wooden flooring should be long lasting and stand the test of time in order that it doesn't need a large amount of maintenance and so money spending on it in the future. A good quality supplier of wooden flooring will be able to give you all of the wooden flooring options available to you and the pros and cons of each wood, treatment and staining. If you have any such questions call us for information and advice.

"If you're having dinner with friends and family, be with them."
Written by Cindy Post Senning
I love the question, "What are the manners for texting?" because it gives me a chance to talk about how manners evolve. We don't just make them up here at The Emily Post Institute. What we do is consider the medium, think about what's respectful and considerate, listen to the public, and then articulate the manners we see evolving. So when I was asked recently by Sara Rimer of The New York Times, "What about text messaging at the dinner table?" it was an easy answer – "It's not good manners!"
If you are by yourself in the kitchen and your meal is just about nourishment, text away. No problem! But if you're having dinner with friends and family, be with them. As I told Sara, "The family meal is a social event, not a food ingestion event." Even if your phone is in your lap, the people with you all know what you're doing when you're eyes are focused on your lap. Just because it's a quiet activity (unlike a phone call), you're not fooling anyone. And then everyone's attention is on the fact that your attention is on your phone, not on them.
The guideline is that you do not text when you are involved in any type of social interaction—conversation, listening, in class, at a meeting or, especially, at the dinner table. If you really need to communicate with someone who is not at the event—or at the table—excuse yourself, send your message, and then return as soon as you can.If you haven't clicked through yet, check out Sara Rimer's article in The New York Times. It's a great piece on how different people feel about texting at the dinner table, plus there is a lively discussion happening in the comments section.

You wait three years and 82 games for a win – and then two come along in three weeks!
Manchester Rugby Club's resurgence continued on Saturday with a hard-fought 16-15 win over mid-table Scunthorpe in National League Three Midlands.
And Springbok coach Getty Schinkel, who masterminded the historic win against Old Northamptonians in March that ended the losing streak, reckons confidence is now flowing through the players.
After the Scunthorpe win he said: "We didn't play the best rugby we've played, we've let them into the game quite a bit, but we showed a lot of character.
"In the old days heads would have gone down, but on Saturday we just kept fighting back and fighting back.
"The final score was 16-15 to us but we missed 16 points at goal and we missed out on a bout five scoring opportunities, just out of guys not taking the right options.
"But it was a really good performance against a decent outfit.
"I think it's a confidence thing because if you look back at some of the results, we probably should have won about seven or eight games ago.
"But there was just so much pressure on the boys – I think that pressure has been taken off their shoulders. They're playing a much better flowing game.
"On Saturday when we were playing rugby, we looked really good and that's a result of not having that pressure any more of having to try and win. Now we're just going out to play rugby and it looks good, we're just not always converting at the moment."
Sale Sharks fans flock to back Salford switch

The secret to the turn-around has been to allow the players to express themselves and not get too bogged down in gameplans.
Schinkel added: "The main thing for me, having been a player in the past, I didn't want to suppress the players or have them playing a specific style.
"I've put a bit of structure into the game so that they know what to do and when to do it, but I let the guys try and express their own game and what they're good at and that is coming to fruition."
Schinkel is also delighted that his plan to turn Grove Park into a fortress is paying dividends.
He added: "One of the other things that we set out to do was to make the home games the focus point for us to win and compete.
"And we've done that well because that's where we've won our games and nearly won a few others.
"We've made this our stronghold, so to speak."
Manchester have one game left this season, away at Malvern.
"Hopefully we can put in a good performance," Schinkel added.
"If we can get an away win, and after beating Scunthorpe there's no reason why we can't, then that will just end the season in spectacular style."
Manchester's aces are on a winner again!
You wait three years and 82 games for a win – and then two come along in three weeks!

Major 4th
Atlantic Cedar
Matthew Harding was born in Sydney in 1964. Initially trained in carpentry and joinery, he went on to study art at Hamilton TAFE and later at the National Institute of the Arts, Canberra, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) in 1995. In 1998 he was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study figurative sculpture in Western Europe. More recently he was a recipient of a prestigious 2003 ACT Creative Arts Fellowship.
Over the past two decades Harding has been selected for numerous group exhibitions, including the Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award in 2003, the 2003 National Sculpture Prize at the National Gallery of Australia, Chicago's 2002 Sculptural Objects and Functional Art exhibit, Sculpture by the Sea in 2002 and 1999, Surface and Form - Craft West Perth in 2002, and the Inami International Wood Sculpture Symposium, Japan in 1999. He has held three solo exhibitions, most recently Concentric, a collection of recent furniture pieces, at Craft ACT Gallery in 2001.
He won the Outsite site-specific sculpture symposium prize at Alice Springs in 2001 and the National Carving Competition in 1999. Harding has undertaken many commissions, including major public art projects in the ACT, Sydney, Newcastle and China.
Harding's commitment to the development of Australia's design identity has seen him lecture in design at the Canberra School of Art and speak at international design forums including last year's Designing Futures Conference in Perth. In June 2003 he will be visiting the Australian School of Fine Furniture in Launceston to run a project with current students before heading to Perth to undertake a residency with Craftwest. Matthew is now based in Melbourne.
Matthew Harding brings a unique sculptural vision to his work as a designer. As well as creating visually challenging and radically functional pieces of furniture, Harding maintains a full-time practice as a professional sculptor, regularly undertaking large-scale civic art projects. His work is characterised by a deep appreciation of form, structure and function, which has been shaped by a background encompassing the visual arts, design and construction industries. He is accomplished in working with a broad range of materials including wood, stone, steel and bronze. Harding has evolved a lateral and inter-disciplinary approach to design. His functional art pieces are characterised by imaginative structural solutions, a geometric articulation of form and an ability to push the bounds of accepted possibilities.
Matthew's furniture designs employ minimal material and lineal forms to create a structural dynamics that has a strong visual impact. This is most evident in his chaise lounge, 'Sprung' which relies on risky engineering to withstand both the stresses of the woven monofilament and the weights of the sitter. Another piece 'Ellipse', which is a meditation chair of chaise proportions, moves well away from formal planes of function. The Pelican chair takes these principles and adds the poetic form of a pelican that emerges as you move around the chair. This chair can also be engage with in both the traditional and straddle seating positions.
Matthew describes these chairs as 'investigations into woven forms, whereby the weave defines ergonomic support and strengthens the structure'. He frequently uses laminated timber as a way of gaining the necessary component strength to maintain the visual integrity of his designs. It is this gestural simplicity of line combined with extreme rationalisation of structure that underlies Matthew's design aesthetics.
An example of his furniture design was a solo exhibition, titled 'Concentric'. The name of the exhibition was drawn from its dominant aesthetic of repeated circles and squares, which utilised industrial processes such as laser cutting and CNC (computer numeric controlled) routing. The exhibition's intent was to orchestrate a theme played out by a machine. "The computer programs I write are not sophisticated and are designed to perform actions that machines, such as the laser cutter, can easily follow - simple geometry enabling small file sizes for e-mailing, repetitious elements with simple scaling, minimal non-cutting distance and little-to no material wastage."
"My design aesthetic has its foundations in my father's passion for boat construction and design. He describes a good hull line as 'poetry in motion'. Other strong aesthetic influences stem from natural geometries and my attempts to explore connections between the macro and micro worlds around us."
Atlantic Cedar
Inspired by wooden tennis rackets, the Poise chair suspends the sitter.
"The idea is to use minimal structure and materials to maximum effect," says Harding, a sculptor, furniture designer and craftsman whose designs range from a 12-metre woven steel cable sculpture in China to smaller objects such as the Poise.
This Signature Piece is Not for Sale at the Gallery. Please see http://www.matthewharding.com.au/ for further information.

Hey all, hoping you could help me..
I am trying to get fiery working for a client of mine who is running Mac OS 10.7.3
I was able to get their Canon IR-Adv ImagepassB1 printer working as far as printing goes, however we run into an issue when trying to access the fiery feature panel.
What happens as an example, is that say you open a pdf.. if you go to "print" and then just print as is, it prints totally fine. The trouble happens when you try to access the fiery features.. so in the print menu, if you click on the drop down menu and select "fiery features" it opens the quick luanch window. This windows works fine and allows adjustment. When you go to click on "full properties", the little beachball comes up and spins forever.
On older macs in the office that are running 10.5 they work perfectly. Its only the newer macs with 10.7.
Now I know that many people have zero functions working at all, but I'm wondering if there is something I'm missing as this appears to be a compatibility issue more with the plugin alone. Is there another place I can download an up to date pluggin for Fiery features and place within Library\Printers\??
Many thanks for any help (and my apologies if this was answered in another post, I searched but didn't find anything)
