Re: Nice Visit
Reading your 'confession' put a smile on my face and I couldn't help but wish you two lived next door instead of so far away. Both of you need to be writing books! Nancy does her weekly epistle but you need to be keeping a journal of your own. We love you!
Visiting Friends Along the Way
Loading Map
Oh, my goodness, what a drive. I thought I'd been teleported to West Texas but instead of oil rigs, all we saw today was one grove of trees after another. But, honestly now, don't you think there should be a law that farmers have to put up signs along the freeway to tell you what they are? We suspect they were almond trees, but as slight as our arbor skills are, you could tell us just about anything and get away with it.
We spent Monday night in a very nice park in Redding – JGW RV Park. The name doesn't do anything to describe the place but it's along the banks of the Sacramento River. For an extra $10, we could have had a river view but just for one night, we decided to pass
The difference between last night's park and the one pulled into today is like daylight and dark. I won't even bother to describe the place; it's way too bleak and dismal. The only thing pretty was the sunset. Again, it's just for one night, and I'm sure if we lock our doors we'll be all right.
September 12, 2009 (Saturday) – Mission Viejo, CA (280 miles)
Actually, we survived the Madera visit without mishap and traveled Hwy 99 to Fresno before cutting back to I-5 on Hwy 41. Along the interior of Oregon and, now, also in California we were seeing complete devastation of the area as a result of drought. There was NO green to be found in anything except the trees and many of them looked a bit troubled. We passed several signs along the way saying, "Congress Created Dust Bowl Area" and still don't know what that's about. One side of the road had fields watered from the irrigation ditch while the other side was absolutely barren
Our friends in Mission Viejo, the Johnson's, had invited us to park our RV in front of their home and use their spare bedroom. They assured us Nitchie was also welcome. Jim had investigated and found it was permissible to park an RV on the street up to 3 days if it was 25 feet or less. When we told him that ours was 33 feet, he called a friend of his (a judge) and learned the fine was $38. It was decided that $38 for 3 days wasn't such a bad deal and our unit exactly fit between their home and the neighbors. We were fortunate enough to meet several of the neighbors right as we pulled in and everyone assured us we wouldn't be in their way.
Our visit with Jim and Nancy Johnson was super. They told us to use their home as a base to come and go as we pleased. The first night they took us to dinner at Oami Sushi. Wendell sort of fibbed and told Jim, "Sure Donna likes sushi." Well, that wasn't exactly true, as I had eaten VERY little Sushi before, long ago, but it turned out it was not a lie
Thursday evening, Gene & Irene Kellner, came to the Johnson's to take us to dinner…..and also brought dinner. Gene has taken an interest in gardening since his retirement from Lockheed and loaded our fridge with peppers and tomatoes. Not only that, they brought stuffed peppers and cabbage rolls….already prepared. Looks like I won't have to cook for awhile. We went to a German restaurant, The Phoenix, in Anaheim. The Kellner's daughter, Nancy, and her husband, Peter, joined us. Peter and Nancy were married in the same wedding chapel and by the same minister that performed our ceremony…Chapel in the Wildwoods in Upland, California. Anyway, we had a grand old time and clapped and stomped our feet to the wonderful Um-pah music. And, yes, the schnitzel and spatzle was melt in your mouth good.
Friday morning, we took the Johnson's at their word, leaving them to babysit Nitchie, while Wendell and I drove to our old homestead in Rancho Cucamonga
We returned to the Johnson's by late afternoon and Nancy prepared a Mexican food dinner of enchiladas and tamales. Some of you might think, "Mexican food for lunch and again at dinner!" Well, everyone that knows Wendell also knows that is not a problem. He can eat Mexican food every meal of the day, every day of the week. When he was flying, I'm sure his crews sometimes got a little tired of his Mexican fare, but most of the time they went along. Every now and then, some junior officer would rebel and squawk for Chinese or Italian, but Wendell usually won out
Today, after a hearty breakfast prepared by our hostess, we hooked up the trailer and set out for our next destination. Nitchie was extremely reluctant to leave and kept trying to go back in the Johnson's front door. She had quickly become attached to "Popi and Nani Johnson" and would have been content to stay and let us go ahead without her. Nitchie enjoyed the walks on the trails above the house, even spotting rabbits and birds to chase. Nancy reported in her email tonight that she and Jim had to walk "alone" and with Nitchie gone, Nancy had to chase the rabbit.
With our GPS, we easily maneuvered out of the LA area and headed east to the desert. The truck thermometer was soon registering 109⁰ and just outside Indio, we had a flat tire on the trailer. Ouch! There was just enough room to ease onto the shoulder of the road and we were clearly visible from a long distance, so we felt safe enough to tough it out until a service truck could come change the tire. USAA Roadside Assistance to the rescue! It took a little over an hour for them to arrive and about 30 minutes to put on the spare
September 13, 2009 (Sunday) – Buckeye, AZ (315 miles)
We had full intentions of sleeping in this morning but the sun warming our bedroom caused us to debunk before 7 AM. The combination yesterday's long ride and the heat left me feeling almost hung over but by the time I'd consumed a few cups of coffee and had my cereal, I was feeling "normal" again. Wendell called his old Southern Air Transportation buddy and made arrangements to visit in the afternoon. We arrived at the Martin's home where Nitchie was met with gleeful "yips" from their two dogs, Prudy and Lilly
We topped off the gas tank and are all set to leave tomorrow for our next destination – Wilcox, Arizona. We'll be having one night stopovers until we reach my mom's in Greenville, TX. Pray there will be no further tire problems……or any other kind, for that matter.

Re: Nice Visit
I am not a regular reader but was googling legality of rv parking in Laguna Niguel where we are heading next week to visit our daughter. Your bit about the Congress created dust bowl is referring to the fact that the farmers had their water allotments cut back by a huge amount. If you use to farm 400 acres, now you might only have water for 200, so huge amounts of farmland now lay fallow. It was pretty sad to see whole orchards being bulldozed and pushed into huge piles. Keep up the work! scott

|Works for me! Tips and techniques worth sharing
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Ken_ D
Excellent posts, men.... I never ever have minded paying proper money for proper goods...it's only when the goods are substandard, being passed off as "el primo" I struggle. Thanks for the cutting tips.
This link may be of interest. Note the prices for 100 plus pelts........
It would be very interesting to compare the quality of dyed pelts "pre-zonked" from the shop link above, to the uncut dyed pelts as supplied by the folks back east.
The Fly Fishing Shop
I agree with Ken, most of the strips you find on the pegboards in the flyshop are pretty miserable. I finally found a good source, The Fly Fishing Shop, one of the sponsors of this board, so I guess I can post a link (?).
I've been using their "stripped whole hides" both cross-cut and straight, and they are superb IMHO.
All the usual disclaimers- I've no connection, just a happy customer, etc. etc.
If you are using lots of strips, cutting your own makes sense, I use 2 white and one red each season, so cutting them makes sense, otherwise buy them, some are better than others..., in two sizes...
I do the same a Ray's suggestion, a rack is neccessary for good cuts. First, square of the skin, use the trimming as dubbing. I made cutters of different sizes (width) by using Shick Injector razor blades. You can do the same by splitting two edged razor blades. Just cut spacers exactly the size of the strips you need and then glue the assembly together with one top and one bottom piece. Blade-spacer-blade-spacer etc. Make sure there is enough wood contact on each spacer for the wood glue to take hold. Duct tape holds the lot together. The blade is about 1 inch long and the cuting edge is about 1/2 inch with the other 1/2 inch glued in. For cross cuts, I'll wet the hair enough to comb it straight, when dry, then I cut! My cutters typically last for 6 skins before the blades get too dull for good cuts.
God luck!
|Ken_ D
The big downside to buying pre-cut rabbit strips: you are a the total mercy of the supplier. Unless one buys the 'name-brand' magnum strips from the famous Oregon company, the strips in the little plastic bag are some of the sorriest, scuzziest, saddest, mangiest, thinnest, strips on the planet....cut from the poorest grade pelts ever....If your marketplace offers better, good on ya !!!! NOT SO HERE !!!! c.r.a.p. (ola)
Doing one's own means there is some control of the process, by using decent pelts from the git-go. There are several grades of pelt, ranging from garment grade, down to the ones razor/scissor/sharpening folks use to test their edges on.
|Dble Haul
As someone has already mentioned, the important part of cutting rabbit strips is keeping them taut. I discovered a while back that there's an easy way to do this. There's a gizmo that people use to filet fish; it's a cutting board with a toothed clamp on one end to grab the fish's tail while scaling and fileting. It turns out that this gadget is also very handy for holding one end of a rabbit pelt while it is cut with a straight edge razor into strips. Works for me. ;D
The price is probably 20 to 1 in favor of the pelt, but once you factor in labor...
Other than tapering into thin tails, cutting very narrow strips for palmering, or forming certain shapes that you want, pre-cuts are the way to go for 'normal' applications.
All the fore mentioned information is sound advise. If you are really going to get into it, a wooden frame with brads as tack areas work fine. Keeping the rabbit pelt taut is the trick. And as was mentioned cut the pelt side, but not hard enough to cut the hair fibers. Using industrial safety razor blades wedge between comb teeth will control the thickness of each strip. You can cut a gang of them at a time. Don't cut the skin end completely. Start you're first cut further in from the end and finish before the end. Then you won't have clamping problems.
My advise, just buy 'em already cut. It's not worth the time and trouble to get down to the real basics.
I've cut pelts but only straight cuts and taper cuts for tails. If the strips are thin enough you get a crosscut effect but need to wrap more times.
I used the same technique as JohnD, cut from the pelt using a pair of Fiskars squeeze scissors using the tips of the scissors.
I would go chat with the ladies at the fabric store. Every time I've asked such a question at the check out counter, any craft savvy gal in the vicinity would come flying over to offer advice.
Maybe you could ask a fur-coat maker, they would definitely know. Is Walter Dyer's still in business in Boston?
|John Desjardins
I'm no expert at this but from my feeble attempts at this I can offer the following hints:
Hold the skin taut when cutting.
Cut from the back side of the pelt, .
On the cross cut strips be very careful to only cut through the skin, and not into the fur. I've lost 1/2 of the fur by cutting too deep on some strips.
Don't try to cut a strip the length of the pelt. Shorter lengths are easier to control.
Good luck.
cross cut rabbit strips
Hey everyone this is my first post, I'm a new member, and am looking forward to talking to all of you.
Anyway... Has enyone ever tried to cut thier own rabbit strips from a skin. I have a couple of good skins that I aquired just for this reason and thought that you might have a couple of tips before I get started. Thanks

Cougars star wide receiver Marquess Wilson suspended from team
PULLMAN, Wash. - The Washington State University Athletic Department has confirmed that junior All-American wide receiver Marquess Wilson has been suspended from the football team for a violation of team rules.
Multiple reports out of Pullman say Wilson walked out of practice on Sunday, following the Cougars blowout loss at Utah the day before.
Cougars head football coach Mike Leach said during his press-conference Monday, he thought Wilson was still with the team, and that he was suspended for the week. As for reports that Wilson had quit the team for good, Leach said, "I do know he's suspended, but if he left the team, that's his decision. But I do know he's suspended." When asked if he has had players walk out of practice like this before, Leach said "Yeah, and I cut 'em."
Despite having been taken out of the starting line-up at times during the season, Wilson is still the Cougs leading wide receiver with 52 receptions for 813 yards and five touchdowns. Entering the 2012 campaign, it was widely believed he could possibly work his way into the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft with a huge year in Mike Leach's offensive system. But the head coach has been critical of his star wide receiver, citing his lack of effort and toughness. Wilson's teammates say they've noticed friction at times between he and the coaching staff, but didn't think it was anything the All-American couldn't handle.
"From the outside looking in, it's been fine. I'm not in his meeting and don't meet with him and Coach Leach, you know just the three of us," Cougars senior quarterback Jeff Tuel said. "But outside, looking in, it's been tough at times. The coaches have pushed Marquess and pushed him hard, but Marquess is a tough kid and has handled it."
Washington State plays No. 17 UCLA in Pullman on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Even though they look suspiciously photoshopped, Charlize Theron still manages to stun in this series of pics from First Magazine. She's riding the media circuit to promote her latest film, The Burning Plain, where she plays the daughter of Kim Basinger's character. If you're like me, it's hard to imagine two hot actresses of (IMO) equal level play mother and daughter. Until I found out their ages – Charlize is 34, Kim is 56. 56! I suppose the math does make sense then.

A trip to Vietnam gives some pretty immediate feedback on just how misguided our war strategies were. 25 years following the end of WWII, the destruction from the war was still apparent everywhere in Germany, Italy, Eastern Europe, and Russia. This was true despite the Marshall Plan and major efforts at reconstruction.
25 years following our withdrawal, you could not tell there had ever been a war except from the missing limbs of the survivors and the complete absence of wildlife. This was true despite the fact that Vietnam had operated in isolation because of American embargoes until 1992. The reason was simple. Vietnam had no infrastructure to destroy: no major road systems, no major rail systems, no major ports, no electrical grid, etc., etc. The idea of winning by bombing someone back to the middle ages assumes that they are not already there. I am very skeptical of all claims that we might have "won" had support for the war remained strong.
Again, had the American Press not aided the communist, the war would have ended in 1968-69. President Nixon's goal of, peace with honor could have been achieved if not for the support the communist received by much of the U S Press. The Vietnamese learned how to play the press like a puppet to thier benefit and that cost us another 20,000-25,000 dead.
quote:The Tet Offensive demonstrated, yet again, that the assurances given by the Generals concerning the effectiveness of our efforts were hot air. CIA intelligence reports from the time indicated that bombing was accomplishing nothing and was not expected to accomplish
:end quote
Hot air? The communist were on their knees after the Tet Offensive. Had we used the Tet Offensive as a reason to start bombing the north, they would have worked much harder for peace at the talks in Paris. But, then they realized the American Press was on their side. CIA Intelligence stated that bombing the jungles of S Vietnam was ineffective that that we need to concentrate on the Ho supply line and the the ports of the north which Nixion beleived to be true. That's why we went into Cambodia and incresed our attacks on the north. I believe your statement above to be a bit "revisionist".
Again, just like Iraq, Vietnam was a war we should have never fought. However, it was the American Press in both cases that has given aide to the enemy.
Of course, my bladder incontinence isn't from laughing so hard, its part of the Cronkite-Clinton-Carter communist conspiracy to rule the universe and give us all leaky bladders! It's also their fault the latches on my barn door broke. And my truck squeaks, and the air-conditioner isn't as cold as I'd like. Oh wait, that's Biden's department. :-P
Interesting that you are concerned with the missing wildlife. There's a lot more than that missing.
I'm not sure we should have been there in the first place but I AM sure we should go ahead and win if we go. Cronkite turned public opinion so that a bunch of idiot politicians started trying to micro manage a war from overseas...sound familiar? You can't win that way. War is an us or them proposition. We decided it would be us because of men like Cronkite.
Originally Posted by Franco View Post

Giap wasn't sure how long it would take for them to recover, if they ever would. Then came Mr Cronkite telling the American people after Tet that we were in a war we wouldn't win and turned the east and west coasters against the war. The communist saw the turning tide in the USA and that gave them the determination to persevere. The North Vietnamesse can thank Mr Cronkite for breeding new life into thier struggle!
Here is the Constitutions definition of treason:
The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
And then there is that little thing in the First Amendment of our Constitution that protects free speech. Cmon Subrock I expected a little better from you:p

American black ducks have been observed using Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge year-round. The ducks congregate within Farm Creek, which provides highly suitable sheltered emergent wetlands. This preserved habitat is especially important for black ducks since the species is suffering from loss of breeding and wintering grounds throughout their range.

STAGGABAKK, a United Kingdom-based singjay, says he is set to have a major impact on the industry come this year.
"I have this freshness about me that forms the perfect blend of reggae and dancehall music. I believe through my songs, people will get to understand my journey and know who Staggabakk is," the singjay told the Jamaica Observer.
Produced by Eva Entertainment Limited, he still has high expectations for his 14-track debut album Wot a Gwan in released in the last quarter of last year. Singles Mamas Bwoy and Evidence are his hit picks. According to the artiste, Mamas Bwoy tells the story of the struggles his mother endured inorder to raise him into the man he has now become.
Staggabakk, whose given name is Christopher Sappleton, 24, said he discovered his ability to write lyrics while growing up in Spanish Town.
"Growing up in Spanish Town, I used to perform at various talent shows. My family and friends have always and continue to be the driving force in my life. In 1999, my mother persuaded me to travel to the UK in order to experience a wider culture of music, learn from other musicians and develop into a much more versatile artiste, like my idol Bob Marley did," Staggabakk told the Jamaica Observer.
Until then the artiste remains optimistic his dream to become the next superstar.
"All I've ever wanted growing up is to be heard and taken seriously, music gives me the opportunity to do this," he said.

Duthie Orthodontics
Professional Practice
Taking care of you is our top priority. Dr. Duthie is supported by a team of professionals who are committed to providing each patient with compassionate and individualized care. We offer a full range of treatment options from traditional, time-proven appliances to the latest innovative orthodontic advancements.
Orthodontics for Children & Adults
Orthodontics is a special kind of dentistry for children and adults. It involves the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
Without treatment, most situations become worse. Early treatment intervention by an orthodontist can help. Our practice involves the design, application and use of appliances to correct problems of the teeth, jaw and face that, for any reason, have assumed abnormal positions. In the absence of treatment, tooth decay, tooth loss and gum disease are possible results. The increased cost of dental care for these problems may far exceed the cost of orthodontic care for now.
Thank you for visiting our website! The doctors and staff of the Duthie Orthodontics looks forward to getting to know you and seeing you smile!
We offer:
Two convenient locations:Auburn NY and Ithaca NY
No charge for the initial Exam.

I plan to inquire with my vet (theriogenology) locally as well tomorrow- but am concerned regarding the use of Fluconazole in a stud dog, affecting semen count and quality.
Is there any research or knowledge regarding the effects of this Rx on a sire? The dog in question is currently on it, and I am concerned about the effects.
Thanks in advance----

Well, things are runnig pretty well around here.
First, our new internet link is up and running. It is a little slower then our previous one, but it does not crash, so we are happy with it. Our old one is still in place for DNS reasons I'm sure you can guess.
I have started studing to get new certifications. RHCE is one that comes to my mind. I read an article stating that most IT personal have 3.something (3<num<4) certifications. Since I only have 2 (well, actualy, I have 4, but only 2 count as good enough for the IT market), I need to get at least 2 others pretty quick. I think I'll try RHCE and BrainBench Network Security (maybe Internet Security too, but I'm not sure yet).

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Oxford City Hall boasts an impressive facade, with ornate masonry arches, eyebrow windows and a multitude of gables. Holding down one corner of the Square, it's almost as iconic as the Lafayette County Courthouse across the street.
In the 1970s, then-Mayor John Leslie negotiated a trade in which the U.S. District Court got a former Oxford School District property at Jackson Avenue and 9th Street and the city gained what was then the Federal Courthouse. The deal included $1 million in federal funds for the city to renovate the 1880s-era building.
"You can see right where John Leslie ran out of that money," said current Mayor George "Pat" Patterson.
At the landing between the second and third floors, the wood floor turns suddenly to tile flooring – a tile that Patterson believes contains asbestos.
Higher up, the third floor itself has a few numbers on the walls that apparently reflected office addresses, but the building's top floor has seen no use in four decades. Flooring has several patches and a few remaining holes; rain drips mark several walls; lath is exposed where plaster has fallen – and occasionally still falls – from ceilings.
Elsewhere on the third floor, a 1975-era air conditioning mechanism occupies what appears to be a former small courtroom or conference room on the top floor, and restroom fixtures remain where they were installed perhaps in the early 1900s.
Even the elevator goes only as high as the second story, where water marks are visible in the combination courtroom and boardroom. The city could use that third-floor space.
Several offices are stuffed into small basement rooms, some of which only have ingress through other offices. Bathrooms are few and confining. The first-floor conference room – the only real meeting space other than the courtroom – frequently is crowded beyond comfort.
The good news is that, except for the roof problem, the building is apparently structurally sound. City Engineer Bart Robinson said mechanical systems from plumbing to electric are outdated.
"The HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) is the biggest issue," he said.
Patterson is proposing a major City Hall renovation as one of three construction projects from which he'll urge the Board of Aldermen to choose early next year.
"We need a new activity center, too," he said. "The one we have is old and worn out, and there's just not enough room for all the programs we have going out there. People are on top of each other."
A third need being considered is a multi-story parking garage.
"I feel like we've got a little breathing room there," Patterson said. "We're buying a new parking lot, and our new enforcement efforts may buy us a little time to work on that."
While the city has a $30 million endowment from last year's hospital sale, the mayor and most aldermen are opposed to spending anything more than its dividends.
Patterson added, "And I'm against raising taxes."

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
Visited Sydney for the Mardi Gras and worked as a Parade Marshall in Area 2 (ie where Channel 10's second team of cameras were set up - oops) which is right at the start of the Parade route... had a ball!
If you watched the telecast, the parade marshalls are the folks in the matching white t-shirts (this year's slogan: I'd make a great mum or dad) doing "crowd control" (ie chatting, throwing lollies, keeping an eye out for crowd crush), policing the road closure ("no, don't jump the barriers and you can't just cross the road here - we've got dykes on bikes roaring through in a minute!") and keeping people entertained generally for the two and three-quarter hours between the road closure and the start of the parade. Some of the ladies I was chatting to (in "my" crowd :) had been there since 1pm for a 7:45pm start!! It was huge fun - I got to do road closure (scary crowd surge moment) and meet people and dance for hours (The Exchange had speakers out).
It was the most political SGLMG Parade I've seen in years -- the whole "mum/dad" thing in the slogan refers to current attempts at law reform to NSW family law to allow people to adopt and co-parent their partner's children.
The Party was quieter than in previous years but I think it was better organised. Maybe it felt quiet because I was there without a girlfriend for the first time ever (!) and hanging with a fairly large group of friends at a party with tens of thousands of other people (no exaggeration) gets a bit unwieldly... so Karen and I took off to explore the rest of the pavillions, dykebar, wandered round generally and left pretty early (4am I think though friends claim sighting us at Operations closer to 5:30 :) I'd have liked to stay til closing (10am) but Karen was dead on her feet and I figured that the rest of my mates were marshalling (again!) by then so I walked her home.
No post-mardi-gras hangover!! Amazing.

I am a Danish bee keeper coming to Jamaica next week for two weeks.
I would like to meet some bee keepers and get a chat and to learn something.
I could even bring some Danish honey.
Unfortunately I will be out of the country in a few days. What section of the island will you be visiting?
Dear redhat
I will be based in Kingston. I am working with an European programme regarding laboratory testing, including testing of honey.
I will be leaving on March 2nd.
I will bring some Danish honey in case anybody would like to taste.
Do you have a beekeepers association?
We do have beekeeping associations. I will make some calls to see if we can meet if possible. Are you in jamaica now? You can give me a call at 876 401 4251.
Dear Duhaje
Thank you for your kind reply. I am in Jamaica now and will stay until Saturday next week.
I will call you later today.
I am so sorry I missed you ViggoMunk. I had some family emergency and had to be up and down. I really wanted to taste that Danish honey!
I see that many people are viewing the dadabs.com website. The main purpose of the site is to share with other persons how beekeeping is done in a country that does not have distinct seasons. Where it is sunny practically all year round. It is also to share with fellow Jamaican beekeepers practices that I have learnt from others as well as from experimenting. The books and internet are flooded with information from North America so I thought it could serve as a local reference especially with the nectar sources as we do not have plants like clover and buckwheat and others that are mentioned so much. Thank you all as I am new to building websites. I would also like assistance from persons who have more experience than I do with websites. As you can see it is a work in progress but I am updating the blog as much as I can so please check it out.
My website has been hacked. If it is accessed by a cell phone a pornographic site come up instead. is there anyone who can assist? using laptops and desktops work fine. Please assist.
I have finally sorted out the website problem. Much easier than I had expected. Im all fired up to go again. I have many things to discuss from the last time.
I have purchased my own foundation mill
crude wax to use and make foundation sheets
Anyone planning to come to Jamaica for the summer? I am now on summer holidays and would not mind to show you around. Oh by the way....!!!! If you ever want to know about a place in Jamaica that you would like to stay let me know and I' ll give you unbiased info. I promise!
Dont worry it is totally free!!!lol
site of my 6th apiary.
that would be awesome to live there
I get to Jamaica about twice a year, once with the family and the other with just the wife. I'd love to bring you some of my honey to swap. I am going to be staying in Montego Bay at the Royal Decameron in November. I can meet you downtown if you like. I love the pork pit!
Well It is the same one as I saw advertised by the FatBeeMan. First flat sheets are placed at the entrance of the rollers( In this picture the rollers are still covered in plastic. The rollers are then rotated by a bar to the end of the machine. This one is manual.
Sure No problem, Khaas15. i will share some mead as well.

The wonderful world of Twitter

Contrary to those that know me, I don't really believe that Twitter is the best thing to happen to internet marketing ever….honest. However, I do think it has an incredibly important part to play in an holistic search marketing campaign, if used with some thought and a clear strategy. Primarily a communication tool, ironically this represents both Twitter's greatest strength and also its greatest weakness.

Space Stinks!
The Smell of Space
Student Exploration
Does space stink?
What do you think that these two astronauts are thinking about as they replaced a module and collected a test sample? Do you think that they were contemplating how long they could hold their breath?
According to astronauts, space stinks! They have described it as an odorous metallic smell. Check it out: http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2011-01/fyi-what-does-space-smell
What could be causing this stench? How can we replicate the smell?
Extension Investigation
1. Don't believe it? Here are first person astronaut accounts of the smell of space:
- Interview of an astronaut sharing the smells of space:
- Another astronaut describes this in his space chronicle: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/crew/exp6/spacechronicles4.html What do you think is creating the stench? Do you think that all of space smells the same way?
2. Is this the next hot perfume? NASA has hired a chemist to recreate the smell of space! Here is an interview with him: http://dsc.discovery.com/space/im/smell-space-steve-pearce.html
Why would it be helpful to recreate the smell of space? How could it help us learn more about our solar system?

I love French Hill Country's molds. They are the best quality molds I have found at a reasonable price. I have tried several other mold makers, only to be disappointed by how long the molds will last. I have been using French Hill Country's molds for over 4 years and the molds are still in excellent condition after hundreds of pours. Dawn is just wonderful to work with. I can ask for custom made molds and she delivers every time and exceeds my expectations. She really knows my style! It's wonderful to know I can count on French Hill Country!

Surely liking the price of gas these days, but they are soon to end. Buried down in Obamas new budget are tax increases and repeals of tax breaks on gas companies that when totaled will increase your pain at the pump to the tune of $1.50 a gallon.
This is on top of their plan to tax your usage as well. Although the Obama administration is denying the latter, the underpinnings are already in the proposed budget. All of this is included in a whopping one-trillion dollar tax increase to begin in 2011.
But lets look at what that $1.50 increase in gas will do to our economy.
1. The aforementioned pain at the pump. Since Democrats were in such a hurry to blame gas company execs for the increase last year, who will they blame it on now?
2. The cost of consumables will skyrocket at a time when inflation is already in place. Say hello to $7.00 tomatoes, $6.00 for a gallon of milk.
3. Higher prices for commercial travel, and incidently more airlines forced to shut their doors due to higher fuel cost and lack of passengers due to to the fact they cant afford to fly.
In other words it will have huge negative affects
Hopefully this will drive the nail in his coffin but quite possibly Americas also. Gotta get new tubes for the families bycycles tomorrow and a goat to keep the grass short. Almost forgot, it is "Bush's" fault.
No We Can't Regards

E-mu Emulator III
The Emulator III was E-mu's biggest classic "Digital Sound Production System". Also called the "EIII", it was E-mu's biggest and most professional sampler-synthesizer prior to the 1990's. It was the first sampler to offer 16-bit CD-quality specs with stereo or mono sampling at 44.1kHz or 33kHz. RAM memory is 4 MB expandable to 8 MB. There are extensive and modern sample editing features (from looping to rate conversions). The on-board 16-track sequencer and arpeggiator are also superb. Equipped with MIDI, SMPTE, SCSI, built-in disk-drive and multiple outputs, the EIII is comfortable in any studio. A Macintosh can also be hooked up to the EIII for easier graphical editing which was very useful since the LED screen on the synth is so tiny.
As a sampler workstation the EIII was at one time the dominating force. Although modern machines far exceed it today, the EIII is still a quality instrument with controls and functions that would be familiar to anyone who uses samplers. A very classic machine that can still stand strong among a generation of sampler workstations 10 years later, the EIII is still in use and will continue to be used for many more years. It has been used by Depeche Mode, Genesis, and JellyFish.

Suspect dead in Coeur d'Alene shooting
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - A shooting in Coeur d'Alene that started at 11th and Lakeside, ended at Higgins Point with the shooter dead.
According to Coeur d'Alene Police, the suspect in the shooting was firing randomly at people and cars around 11 a.m. Saturday as he drove in the area of 11th and Lakeside. He hit one man, who was sent to Kootenai Medical Center for surgery. His condition is unknown.
When officers found the shooter, he led them on a five-mile chase that ended at Higgins Point. Officers report the man started shooting in their direction, so they opened fire and shot and killed the man.CDA Police investigating shooting, suspect dead
Saturday afternoon and evening, investigators locked down four separate crime scenes all involved in the shooting.
A witness to the shootings, who only wants to be identified by her first name, said she smelled gun powder right away after hearing several shots fired.
"First I heard gunshots, and my husband come running in the house and said 'honey, that was a high-powered gun, maybe a 45 or something that's not a 22'," Evelyn said.
She was told the shooter was aiming at an apartment complex and shot a man in the chest.
Another witness said he was walking his dog when the man began shooting in his direction. He estimates the bullets came within just a few feet of him.
Major Ben Wolfinger with the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department said having a man randomly shooting through town is one of their worst nightmares.
"At least on one occasion he fired at the officers as they were pursuing him," Wolfinger said.
He says the gunman lost control of his vehicle near Higgins Point and then opened fire on officers again, hitting one of the patrol cars. Officers returned fire and killed the suspect.
The identity of the shooter has not been released. More information is expected to be released Monday.

Awesome job Joker! The layout is exceptional and all the links make it very easy to navigate. I bow to your skill and dedication.
thanks joker, that's just the analysis I was looking for. From your overall reviews, sounds like you really enjoy an expansive soundstage. wondering if you've ever tried audio-technica's ad line. I have the ad700s and it seems very similar to the ck10. i'll bet it has and even larger soundstage though, since it's fullsize and open.
Thanks for this! I'm curious if you've ever listened to, or have plans to review, Q-Jays? I've been doing a bit of research trying to find something good up to my max budget of $175, and a lot of posts point me in the direction of Q-Jays.
While I'm here, I was thinking about the Phonak PFE's but a friend of mine keeps telling me "spend a little more to get 2 armatures, you'll be dissapointed if you don't". Being a complete noob, what does this mean and does it have any truth to it?
Also, any specific recommendations for somebody looking to get into IEM's, up to 175, who likes a lot of metal, prog rock, and just about anything with female vocalists (meaning a lot of high pitched music).
As for dual vs single armatures, rawrster pretty much nailed it. More potential in multi-driver setups but that does not always equal better sound (just look at the Klipsch custom line). I really don't think you will be disappointed with the PFEs. They don't sound as natural as, say, the CK10, but they are darn good for what they cost and at what they do. You may also look at the Panasonic HJE900 (dynamic-driver), though I wouldn't call them vocal-centric earphones. They still perform very admirably and will take a lot more abuse than the PFEs.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
Julia Angwin reported late Thursday that AT&T is dropping their tracking supercookie program. This comes in the wake of massive customer pressure over the discovery that AT&T and Verizon were quietly inserting unique tracking identifiers in their customers' web browsing and app data, by means of an HTTP header. The tracking identifiers quickly became known as "supercookies" because they enable tracking, like cookies, but cannot be removed.
Verizon users might want to start looking for another provider. In an effort to better serve advertisers, Verizon Wireless has been silently modifying its users' web traffic on its network to inject a cookie-like tracker. This tracker, included in an HTTP header called X-UIDH, is sent to every unencrypted website a Verizon customer visits from a mobile device. It allows third-party advertisers and websites to assemble a deep, permanent profile of visitors' web browsing habits without their consent.
When it comes to Facebook's real names policy, it's really clear—something needs to change. Over the last few weeks, we've joined dozens of advocates in saying so. And in a meeting with LGBTQ and digital rights advocates, Facebook agreed. Of course, admitting there's a problem is always the first step towards a solution. But what's not clear is what that solution will be.
Update 9/26/14: Recently Apple has announced that it is providing basic encryption on mobile devices that they cannot bypass, even in response to a request from law enforcement. Google has promised to take similar steps in the near future. Predictably, law enforcement has responded with howls of alarm.

Pecans and Gouda cheese add flavor, texture and color to this zippy salad.
Gouda and Edam cheese are similar in flavor, but Gouda is slightly creamier because of its higher fat content (48 percent compared to Edam's 40). Look for both cheeses in the gourmet cheese section of the grocery store.
For the freshest taste, always toss salads just before serving.
This colorful and tasty salad can easily be cut in half for family meals. Just remember to also cut the ingredients in half on your shopping list!

Luscious white sauce partners with sausage and beef in this three cheese lasagna.
Why it Works: Instant Noodles
Saying that bread, cookie or pasta dough is "cooked" means that the starch in the flour has fully absorbed the water in the dough. Depending on the thickness of the dough, this process can take minutes (as with pasta) or almost an hour (as with bread). For traditional lasagna noodles, boiling causes the dough to absorb water and cook through. The instant noodles used in this recipe have been pretreated with water; they do not need to boiled before using. The heat of baking and the moisture from the sauce cook the noodles while the lasagna bakes.

Furney, Bucannon named to Pac-12 2nd Team
Pullman, WA - Ten Washington State football student-athletes received All-Pac-12 Conference recognition, the conference office announced Monday.
Juniors Deone Bucannon and Andrew Furney each garnered second team honors while senior linebacker Travis Long, freshman Brett Bartolone, redshirt-junior center Elliott Bosch, freshman running back Teondray Caldwell (as a returner), sophomore linebacker Cyrus Coen, redshirt-freshman defensive lineman Xavier Cooper, redshirt-freshman linebacker Darryl Monroe and redshirt-senior cornerback Daniel Simmons all received honorable mention.
Bucannon picks up his first career all-conference accolade after making a team-high 106 tackles, tied for second-most in the Pac-12 and was the highest total by any non-linebacker. Bucannon also made a team-best four interceptions including a two-interception performance against Oregon. The Fairfield, Calif. native posted seven double-digit tackle performances this season including a 17-tackle game at Arizona State.
Furney earns his first All-Pac-12 honor after going 14-for-20 on field goal attempts, tied for second in the conference. The Burlington, Wash. native was a perfect 7-for-7 on attempts inside 30 yards and 6-of-10 on kicks outside of 40 yards including a conference-best 60-yarder against Eastern Washington. Furney went 25-of-26 on PATs and capped his season going 3-for-3 in the Apple Cup victory, tying the game with a 45-yard kick with 1:59 remaining before kicking the game-winner from 27-yards in overtime.
Long caps his outstanding WSU career with his fourth all-conference accolade while the seven others each pick up their first career All-Pac-12 honor.

Yousuf Karsh, who died in Boston in July 2002 aged 93, is popularly known as the great camera portraitist of the most esteemed world figures and celebrities of the mid to late 20th century. His subjects included politicians, religious leaders, royalty, artists, writers, dancers, actors, singers, musicians, explorers, scientists and physicians. Born in 1908 to Armenian parents in Mardin, Turkey, Yousuf Karsh had first-hand experience of political strife when the Turks persecuted his family. Travelling alone across the world in 1924 at the age of sixteen, Karsh was able to immigrate to Canada where his uncle, George Nakash, had a portrait photography studio in Quebec. Karsh first trained with his uncle and then in Boston in the portrait studio of fellow Armenian John H. Garo. Karsh moved back to Ottawa in 1932, where he established his own studio. From the 1970s until he retired in 1994, Karsh had his studio in the lavish Chateau Laurier, a landmark building in the best street in Ottawa. Karsh's mentor, John Garo, had made rather soft, idealised romantic portraits in the prevailing style of art photography, but Karsh developed his own modern look with dramatic, sharp and strongly lit close-ups. Karsh's experience with stage lighting as a member of the Ottawa Little Theatre was a factor in his technique, and through this theatrical circle he made political and social contacts that led to clients for his business.
From as early as 1936 Karsh was becoming known for his modern portraits of visiting statesmen and dignitaries, who were often set against a darkened background, spot-lit like actors on a stage, and shown close-up revealing every detail of hair, skin and clothes. He used large format cameras with up to 8 x 10 plates and huge banks of lights to transform his subjects. Karsh's international reputation was made when his portrait of British prime minister Winston Churchill — then in Ottawa for a political meeting during World War II — was used on the cover of Life magazine in December 1941.1 According to legend, Karsh whipped Churchill's beloved cigar out of his mouth a moment before making his exposure. (By contrast Karsh would later persuade the formidable USSR leader Nikita S. Khrushchev to don his native headgear of a Siberian fur hood and smile like a jolly Santa Claus.) The portrait of Churchill became the iconic image of the wartime leader and was even the model for his portrait in Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London. Churchill is not 'scowling', as the image is so often described, and its success surely had more to do with making the not very photogenic Churchill exude the right mix of concern, bullying strength and vision. These were the qualities then needed to reassure the public across the Commonwealth as they faced their enemies in Europe.
Although Karsh credited his beloved mother with being an inspiration to his work, he did not return to Armenia until late in life. From the time of his success with the Churchill portrait, Karsh did, however, spend much of his life travelling across the world to photograph the good, the great and the gifted among world figures, or 'people of consequence' as he called them. He produced numerous publications, beginning with Faces of Destiny in 1946. Signing himself 'Karsh of Ottawa', the photographer became a celebrity in his own right and world leaders felt slighted if not selected to be 'Karshed'. In many cases Karsh's camera portrait became the best known image of the subject. Karsh, a devout Catholic, had a belief in individual greatness and in role models in society. This was perhaps fuelled by his knowledge, gained early in life, of how cruel human beings could be to each other. Although his sitters were mostly commissioned portraits, there is a sense in which Karsh put his own imprimatur on a pantheon of well-known people whom he saw as deserving of their fame through merit, not birthright. He did not 'do' glamour per se and his female subjects are handsome rather than 'fair ladies'. Stories abound about how Karsh managed to get his subjects to co-operate, regardless of the location or how short a session he might have been allocated. As one critic commented, 'Clearly Karsh used a lot more than lighting on his subjects. His conversational foreplay was as spontaneous as his portraits were staged.'2 Karsh also developed a distinctive style of dark, dramatic, large exhibition prints up to a metre in width or height (as shown in this exhibition) with startling depth and detail. Karsh's photographs were the equivalent in the portrait field to the monumental landscape photographs of his American contemporary Ansel Adams.
Yousuf Karsh was at the height of his career in the 1960s and 1970s when he was the star of the Canadian pavilion at the World Expo '67 in Osaka. Several large exhibitions of his work toured internationally in these years. By the time he died in 2002, Karsh had been awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society and almost every possible form of recognition from his photographic peers across the world. He received national and international honours including an award as Officer of the Order of Canada and a number of honorary degrees from Canadian and American universities.
