My French neighbours (I live in France) are keen for me to re-activate an unoccupied, but previously used hive.
OK, so I know how to clean it; they've told me how to "bait" the hive, so bees will get in and stay there. But what else do I need to do? How do i get to the honey? When can I expect some? Any advice (even, don't do it!) would be helpful. |
Follow-Up Postings:
WOW! Where to begin? Are your French neighbors Beekeepers themselves who could possibly mentor you? Is there a local beekeeping club or group nearby? If not, you should probably go to www.beesource.com a very large bee keeping forum that has a lot of answers, or a large library which may have some beginning beekeeping books on the shelves. If you decide to do it, you'll love it! |

It reads like a story so you learn in a much less linear way. And then you will know WHAT to ask on the other boards and forums. Please email me for a few other intersting sources but I HIGHLY recommend starting with Linda. |

Thanks for your help. No clubs nearby, no local help, as we live in the middle of nowhere. So, will do it all online. Neighbours are not professional beekeepers, they are peasant farmers (in the nicest sense possible). So here goes... |
Don't worry, you can do this. What you need to start with, regardless of whether or not you have a mentor or a club available, are books! Pickup some beekeeping books and fill your head with as much information as possible. Start with starter books like "Beekeeping for Dummies" and then read "The Backyard Beekeeper." These two will start you off with what you need to know. There will be a few variations since you are in France. Each country has the tendency to have different equipment. France uses equipment very similar to the UK, which isn't that far off from what we use here in the U.S. All of these have removable frames within a wooden hive body. Don't stress about the differences so much as gaining an initial sense of confidence that this is possible to do and you know the answers to some of your most basic questions. How the honey is stored and how to go about removing the excess honey is all explained within beekeeping texts. Clubs will further your information by telling you the tricks of the trade and which tools seem to work better than others. Mentors are great, but only if they hold the better knowledge. It sounds like you already sense that you need a better source for your beekeeping information than your neighbors can give you. Books and practice can work for you when clubs and other beekeepers are not available. Good luck, I think you'll do well. |

I found this ground covering plant in a forest near my home in western ny. It sprouts up every spring in the deep shade right off the road, and lives all through summer and dies in late fall. It almost is Ivy like in nature because there is one single "stalk" coming out of the ground, and the leaves branch off of it. I think it is gorgeous and would look great in the permanent shade under my tall pine tree, but i want to identify it before i break out the shovel to make sure its not poisonous or something. That would be my luck. I have touched it and walked through it without any reactions. I was just hoping that Identifying it would help me learn if it will spread on its own and if it is extremely invasive. etc. |

Ken, why don't you recommend that it be swiftly and completely removed like you usually recommend for weeds? This is a horrible weed and there are even infestations in national forests! One plant that if you give it an inch will take a mile! |
'Myrtle???' That's a new one on me. Periwinkle is the usual common name here. |
That's why we use binomials. Excerpt from Wikipedia... Vinca minor (common names lesser periwinkle or dwarf periwinkle) is a species of flowering plant native to central and southern Europe, from Portugal and France north to the Netherlands and the Baltic States, east to the Caucasus, and also southwestern Asia in Turkey. Other vernacular names used in cultivation include small periwinkle, common periwinkle, and sometimes in the United States, myrtle or creeping myrtle,[1] although this is misleading, as the name myrtle normally refers to the Myrtus species. |

Not only known as 'myrtle,' but also 'creeping myrtle.' I also vote that the OP leaves it in the forest. The Former Owners left me some along the north side of the house; it's all tangled in a spirea, and I still haven't gotten it all. |
Oh, I misread the post. Please do not transplant it! In fact, I'd rip it out of where you found it. It doesn't belong in the forest. |
rugbyhukr - most common names involving 'Myrtle' refer either to white flowers or scent, neither of which Vinca minor has, so it does seem an odd choice. BTW - I'm still intrigued by your GW name. Fan or player? |

City of Bell: AG and CalPERS investigate excessive local city salaries
Frank Stoltze/KPCC
One Bell resident expressed his outrage over exorbitant pay for city officials on his T-shirt at a recent community meeting.
An emergency closed-door meeting of Bell's city council last night ended with three of the city's top officials stepping down. With angry residents holding vigil outside, The City Manager, Assistant City Manager and Police Chief resigned their positions. The three may receive severance packages or the remainder of their lucrative contracts, the highest in the country, which were negotiated under Bell's city charter. But are they still entitled to their hefty pensions – the source of residents' outrage?

I am looking for help in selecting a gas cooktop. I was looking for one with a bbq/griddle. I found that Capital makes some: http://www.capital-cooking.com/category/320 The problem is that those that have both a bbq and griddle are too large for my space. I was hoping to find a 36" one that has 6 burners and 2 of the burners can get interchanged for a bbq or griddle depending on what you need. I think these Thermadors provide this: http://www.thermador.ca/cooking/rangetops I was wondering how they are. I would love to know of any other ones. Any recommendations would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thermador does not interchange two burners for a grill or griddle. A two burner grate interchanges with a dedicated grill or griddle pan. On built-in griddles there is a burner that runs the length of griddle so there is no cold spot in the middle. Here you still have two burners and a cold spot in the middle. On built-in grills you have an open flame or an infrared burner running the length of the grill. No open flame no outdoor grill type results. Infrared is its own type with a unique type result. Neither is achieved with Thermador. Still a cold spot in the center. Thermador gives you same result as putting a griddle or grill pan on top of two burners. The benefit is you get a custom grill pan/griddle for maximum useable space. Your Capital link did not work for me so I don't know what Capital range you are looking at. The Thermador you are looking at is what most people call a rangetop not a cooktop. IMO 1a Capital Culinarian rangetop, |

How Nike built a boardpark for their Chosen comp
Nike's Chosen competition comes to a conclusion in the first week of April, and they've released a video showing you around the purpose-built boardpark they've constructed for the finals. Clue: they've used more than a couple of shovels.
We've been covering the Chosen comp on No Friends On A Powder Day all winter.
Film crews from all over the world made movies and submitted them to be voted on in the video competition, while amateur riders showed off their skills on the Chosen Series Tourstop events.
Three crews were picked to take part next week in the final in Silvretta Montafon, Austria, where the new park has been built, along with 12 amateur riders who were chosen from the Tourstop events. During the final, the video crews have to come up with a brand new edit in just one week. And every morning new edits of the amateur riders will be on the Nike Chosen site every day for the public to vote on. Keeping up? Good.
So what's the prize? The chance for the winning crew and the winning amateur rider to live like a Nike pro for a year, and hang out with the likes of Nicolas Müller, Gigi Ruff, Scotty Lago and Spencer O'Brien. They're all turning up for the week in Austria as well and will go riding with the amateurs. They also have a say in who is named The Chosen.
The park's makers used 27 shapers and spent 7,000 hours throughout the season to create what they're calling a 'next level' park complete with wall rides, street rails, huge hits, a skate inspired bowl and more. The massive 80ft Nike Swoosh kicker, pictured above, is particularly impressive.
You can meet the crews and riders by clicking here.

Our staff use the packs we sell, so head in to store for some great advice to help you find the perfect pack to suit your needs and get it properly fitted for free.
Whether you're walking a section of Hadrian's Wall or the whole of the Inca Trail, you don't want an ill-fitting pack to spoil your enjoyment. As well as deciding on the features you need, such as a raincover, hydration compatibility, walking pole loops, various pockets and of course the size, it is vital to ensure the pack is a good fit.
Everybody is a different shape, so the layout of shoulder straps, hip belt and chest straps needs to be right for you. Some packs are adjustable, some come in a range of sizes, some even have heat-mouldable components to match your shape exactly. Most packs will be comfortable when there's nothing in them, so once we've measured your back and adjusted the bag, we'll try it on you with weight in. Of course, you'll need to make sure it's OK with your kit in it, so we recommend you load it up once you get it home and try it out: you're very welcome to bring it back in for fine tuning.
For your FREE in-store rucksack fitting, visit your local store. The stores can sometimes get very busy at lunchtimes or on the weekends, so call ahead to book an appointment so that you don't miss out!
Find out why you should get your rucksack fitted by our trained staff in store by watching this short video...

Of course, not everyone will take the Chancellor's statements at face value. The documents related to the consultant's research are confidential, as they are part of the contract negotiations. Chancellor Rhee has declined to name the private foundations that are going to fund these raises, and that has a lot of people worried too. There are others who think it's just generally bad news to fund public schools with private funds.
I personally think Rhee's pay plan makes sense -- teachers in DCPS require a special set of talents and skills, and simple supply and demand says when you need something that's in short supply to have to pay more for it. But Rhee's plan went nowhere with the union, and who knows if it ever will. The biggest problem, of course, is that teachers don't want to give up tenure, which is what Rhee was asking for in exchange for the increased pay.
I know a dicussion of "Rhee" and "Contract Negotiations" usually devolves into unbridled craziness (from both sides), but I'm willing to brave these waters anyway. Here's my question: what exactly are we, as teachers, willing to give up in order to receive higher pay? Is the answer, "nothing" and we want to remain on the same pay scale? Is the answer "tenure rights" and we want Rhee's scale? Or is there some in-between point that we'd be willing to settle on?
For me, I say screw tenure. This isn't Tennessee in 1926 and we're not going to get fired for teaching evolution or being agnostic. I do my job well, and I'm not concerned about getting the axe. The increased salary would allow me (and many other teachers) to afford to own property in DC -- something that is pretty much out of the question right now. So my vote is to go with Rhee's pay plan. Of course, that's just one vote.

I say screw tenure, too.
And my mother, a thirty+ year veteran in New Jersey agreed... until she went to an affluent district where every parent thought their Johnny or Suzie was the next Albert Einstein and they only deserved A+s on the report cards. Non-tenured teachers either bow to parent wishes or they are out.
People are very sensitive when it comes to their children. And unfortunately, not all administrators have the cojones to stand up to bossy parents. They would rather oust a teacher than deal with a verbal berating over the phone or in the office.
There's no perfect solution. Nevertheless, I still think tenure ought to be abolished. - March 4, 2009 at 12:17 AM

Rhee is offering to double teacher pay using an unnamed source of money during en economic downturn and all teachers have to do is give up their hard won job security.
If/when the money runs out will the tenure be given back?
Final question, is she also selling bridges? - March 4, 2009 at 12:41 AM
I don't think tenure should be abolished completely, because right now, tenure is the only thing guaranteeing you a job in the district when your position gets excessed from your school's budget. Not all excessed teachers are bad. Also, the way Rhee closes a school at the drop of a hat, what would happen to people whose schools close? Yes, you and I are young and I don't plan to teach forever, but those who do need some protection from these realities. Especially if you are at a step 10 or below--as you know other districts don't hire new teachers at a higher salary than this and we all know charters don't hire fourtysomethings.
What we DO need, I agree, is a fair, clear cut process to fire bad teachers-tenured or non-tenured. I liked the tier system because it allowed for both to coexist in the system. Too bad we'll never see it happen. - March 4, 2009 at 2:07 AM
I meant to say step 10 or above

I'm with you and I think the 2 tiered system is a great compromise, personally. I think the Union has misrepresented the tier system to make people think that tenure must be sacrificed- it doesn't and teachers who don't want to sacrifice it still get raises (albeit smaller ones, but still...). I do understand the concerns about the funds and where they're going to come from, but if we sign a contract stating a certain amount of money, they're going to have to come up with it somehow.
I am concerned that Rhee has burned too many bridges and that she is not going to be able to garner support for any plan she proposes, even if its the most beautiful and beneficial plan imaginable. I teach at a school with many veteran teachers and they are CONVINCED that she is out to get them and no amount of cajoling could make them think otherwise. I know they are not willing to give an inch because they are sure she would take a mile. And by a mile I mean their jobs. They would surely not give up tenure, but will not accept the red tier either, for reasons unknown to me. - March 4, 2009 at 3:08 AM

This plan has many faults. The main one is that the city council is obligated to cover the foundation commitments if they either bow out or go bankrupt (please don't say bankruptcy is not possible - no one ever thought Lehman Bros. or Bear Stearns would become history either).
The council is facing an $800 million shortfall next year - why would they saddle themselves with this kind of commitment on the basis of unnamed donors?
Another is this idea of getting back SPED money for students who receive outside services, such as those they receive at Kingsbury, paid for by DCPS. Who thinks Rhee is going to transform SPED so that parents won't have to sue for lack of services anytime soon? Raise your hand.
She is planning with money she does not have instead of making a budget with the money she does have. That is no way to run a business and that is what she sees DCPS as - a business.
I'm not at all against making more money. I could use it as could any one of us. I am not so concerned about tenure but I do want the protections that are needed so that I can do my job honestly. Dee pointed out some problems that can occur. There are so many others. It may not be 1926 but you would be amazed at what can still get you fired in this day and age. Don't sell away your right to due process.
Take a look at the charter schools in NY and in LA that have asked the unions to step in. They have all cited the same complaints - lack of a coherent, consistent evaluation system, arbitrary firings and teachers being kept out of the decision making process for their schools. I believe Rhee's plan will give us exactly these problems. - March 4, 2009 at 3:58 AM

I also meant to add that this salary does not necessarily mean teachers will be able to afford a house in DC. It would very much depend on where you wanted to live. Affordability is figured at twice your annual salary - so $200,000 to $250,000 would be what most teachers on such salary could afford. Then you would need about 20% for a down-payment. So you are talking places like Petworth, the Southeast and some parts Southwest. DC real estate has only gone off 2% to what it was before the crash, which means that most places are still pretty expensive and it is much harder to get financed.
- March 4, 2009 at 4:05 PM
Gee, thanks for lumping Petworth in with SE. The house next door to me in Petworth is for sale for half a million dollars. Sure, teachers can't afford Chevy Chase, Cleveland Park or around AU, traditionally white neighborhoods (those residents hate their hoods to be referred to as such, but it's true). But looking carefully, there are house to buy thatthird and fourth year teachers could afford, especially these days.
- March 4, 2009 at 7:15 PM
- Glenn Watson said...
If the salary of teachers increases and this causes the demand for houses in DC to increase then the price of houses in DC will increase. How much depends on the elasticity of demand for houses in DC.
The biggest problem I have with Rhees's solution is that it is not scalable.
Maybe Rhee has found a billionaire to fund her raise but this is not a realistic option for other school systems.
If Rhee is trying to make the DC system a shining example for the nation then this method is cheating.
If she takes away tenure and gives raises and by some miracle student scores increase then other systems will say, 'Well, we cannot afford the raises but we can take away tenure. It worked for Rhee.'
That's why the national Union has to get involved. - March 4, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Union means to stand as one together. If you sign for two tiers you are no longer will be a Union. I predict if this were to happen only certain people who get a raise. Also the language says a teacher could make up to 130,000 with merit pay. Well up to can be anywhere from .01 to the $40,000 extra she claims people on the green tier would make. So if you got a $100 dollar bonus she would have met her obligation. All the money is downtown in 825 I would love to see how much 825 cost DCPS and those employees are not directly serving children.It6's a ploy to break the union, and I bet Ivy league grads TFA, DCtF and other alternative programs teacher would recieve the bulk of this so called money.
- March 4, 2009 at 10:02 PM
- lodesterre said...
I didn't mean to lump Petworth in with SE or anywhere else negatively. I said what I said after a conversation I had with a very good real estate agent. I asked her where someone making $100,000 or so plus possible bonus money would be able to buy in DC.
There are "million" dollar houses in a lot of places - Shaw for instance has plenty. But in a lot of cases in areas like that the prices are inflated in the hope that the area is going to be the next big place to move. - March 5, 2009 at 4:11 AM
- Ms. George said...
I wonder if someone here could answer my questions. I've posted them on several sites that discuss merit pay (some for and some against) TFA,, etc. I'm not bashing anyone, but I'd like to understand how merit pay would work and I've never seen anyone (Rhee, Weingarten, Bloomberg/Klein, Duncan, et al) mention or even illuminate this. I can't support or argue against something that I do not fully understand.
Who gets merit pay? How is merit pay measured? If it is by test scores, what tests? I am an ELA teacher in NY. We have 3-8 grade tests in Math and ELA. Are only those teachers responsible for the growth of the kids? Science and Social Studies are in 4th (Sci) 5th (SS) and 8th (both). Are those teachers only eligible for merit pay for the students the year they have them (so 6th and 7th are out)? What about Art, Tech, Home and Careers (fed mandated), Second Language (prof. test in 8th), Music, Health, or the K-2 teachers, what about HS?
One last comment: I am fully aware of less than stellar teachers. I see people who have no business teaching, or who should have left years ago. I do not understand how some of them rec'd tenure. However, I have rarely, if ever, heard people (Education gurus as well as the community) discuss student (and parent) responsibility for his/her own (or child's) education. I tell my lovelies that they have a job as much as I do. Good teachers learn as much as they teach, but students have to participate in and help create their future. After all, we are already living ours. - March 6, 2009 at 1:57 AM
First, I'm not a teacher, and don't know the inner political workings of the teachers union. It seems as though the largest concern across a few of these blogs is arbitrary firings rather than uneven pay a merit based system would introduce.
Rather than focusing on a 100% rejection of Rhee's merit based system, couldn't the union offer a tenure alternative that would allow non-performing teachers to be removed while protecting against political (parents/admin) firings.
It seems if the union wanted to, they could play a crucial role in developing policy that would ensure that Rhee is forced to remove ONLY non-performing teachers. - March 10, 2009 at 8:17 PM
The Union submitted a contract proposal to Rhee several weeks ago. I am dying to know what she thinks. I wonder how long she has to look at it and make a decision.

The Management Major: Management careers are found in all varieties of industries. The work of a business manager involves planning, directing, and coordinating the activities of a company. Often individuals are trained or specialize in a functional area such as accounting, marketing, finance, or human resources. Managers oversee the work of others by building cooperation and performance among workers. Their work may involve analyzing problems, making decisions, delegating assignments, training and supervising staff, budgeting and coordinating activities. Managers can be employed in various sectors (government, education, or private industry). Within any large organization, managers with direct authority for a functional area (sales, finance, accounting) have line management positions. People employed in activities that support these functions (human resources) hold staff management positions.
Management trainee positions are typically available in the retail, hotel/restaurant, banking, and insurance industries. A training program may last six to twelve months, allowing trainees exposure to the various functional areas within a company. Many people enter management positions with a bachelor's degree. However, a Master's in Business Administration is essential for advancement in some areas.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chester!
Facts about Chester
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Chester's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi, my name is Chester! I am around 2 years old and weigh only 12 lbs. My foster mom says that the cutest thing about me are my smile! My teeth show alot and it is just the cutest thing ever, so she says. I enjoy my play time and I especially love my snuggle time! I am quite the little love bug. I love to play with my squeaky toys and I love to go for walks. I get along very well with other dogs and enjoy going to the dog park. I don't bark at new people and I have never met a stranger. I am 100% house trained and I don't need a crate. If you would like to learn more about me, email firstname.lastname@example.com. I am being fostered in Huntsville, AL. Be sure and tell them that Chester sent ya!!
Other Pets at Friends of Rescue - Homewood
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chester, a Homewood Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua for sale in Homewood, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Homewood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Homewood already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Homewood breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Homewood paves the way for another one to be saved.

New Humble bundle offers Frozenbyte games, pay what you want
The folks behind the extremely popular Humble Indie bundles are at it again -- this time, they've assembled a "Humble Frozenbyte Bundle," featuring a pack of games from Finnish game developer Frozenbyte. The real centerpiece here is Trine, an excellent physics-based puzzler/platformer that's done well both on PC and on the consoles, but the other titles (Shadowgrounds, sequel Shadowgrounds Survivor and a preview of a game called Splot) aren't bad either. There's a game prototype in the mix called Jack Claw -- that's a game that Frozenbyte eventually canceled without release, but buyers of this bundle will get to play it anyway (on Windows, that is).
As with the other Humble bundles, all of these games are Mac-compatible and DRM-free, and the price is pay-what-you-will, with money going either to Frozenbyte or to the EFF or Child's Play. The suggested price cost of the games separately is $50 (which would still be a great deal for four games), but you can give whatever you want to whoever you want and still get the bundle for yourself.
On a quick platform-specific note, too, Mac users aren't being quite as well represented this time around -- they're paying, on average, way less than Linux users, and taking the smallest piece of the pie out of the three platforms. If you do buy the bundle (and the games, with the exception of Jack Claw, are compatible on any and all platforms anyway), make sure to show a little Mac pride over there, and prove that among the three OSes, Mac users are the most willing to pony up for great software.

On June 26, 1943, on an island in the Southwest Pacific, at the height of World War II, Lt. Jose Holguin parachuted from a burning B-17 after being shot down by Japanese fighters.
Lt. Jose Holguin waited until dawn to crawl from the jungle. His back was broken, his jaw ripped open by shrapnel. There was a bullet hole in his left leg. The crashed B-17, Naughty but Nice, lay before him in pieces. It would be years, but Holguin worked relentlessly to bring his fellow crewmen home.
Remains found in 1985 and 2001 could not be linked to any particular crewman, so they were attributed to all nine of the Naughty but Nice. They are buried in a single coffin at Arlington National Cemetery.
The moment he heard the war was over, Holguin had one thought: "How do I get back into the mountains for my crew?" explains his son, Curtis Holguin at home with a photo of his father's B-17 crew.
Three navigators went up to a hut somewhere in the mountains above Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. After the war, Jose Holguin, left, worked to find the remains of his B-17 crew and was still following leads in March 1994 when he died of a heart attack at the age of 73.
The Naughty but Nice crew: Jose Hoguin, top row, left, and Al Winfrey, top row, middle, survived the war. Hal, the pilot, was in sickbay with a wound on the final mission of the Naughty but Nice. He blamed himself for the plane's loss for the rest of his life.
Jose Holguin reunited in 1983 with the two men of Arumbum Village, Papua New Guinea, who, as teens, found him near death on a sandbar on the Warongoi River. They found him approximately 30 days after the Naughty but Nice was shot down. Curt Holguin, Jose's son, said, "Needless to say, my dad loved these two 'boys.'"
Jose Holguin made a diary entry before the last mission of the Naughty and Nice. After he survived the crash in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, Holguin decided to flee — but he made an important promise that he would be back to take care of the rest of the crew.

Here are some pictures of the Concrete Mixer I built
using a 55 gallon polyethylene drum. Here is the mixer itself. You can also see the sand/gravel mix
Here is a front view of the mixer. The battery you see hanging there
Here is a close up view of one of the paddles inside the drum.
Here is part of the drive system for the mixer.
Here are some of the paving block molds I have poured.
And here is what I have been doing with them so far.
So far this thing works great. I make about 1.5 cubic feet of concrete per batch.

Nice job. The big opening is a plus. Curious on your reasoning for the straight (rather than at an angle)paddle mounting. It seems as tho it is well thought out! |

I had a 50-50 chance of straight mounted paddles working. And it was easier to mount them that way. So I took a chance. And it works just fine. If it hadn't worked, I have 2 more identical drums. I plan on making more molds for making other stuff. Pooh Bear |

I like it.Its amazing what 'home' engineers can invent.I imagine there are people with college degrees in mechanical engineering that could'nt think of something so simple yet somewhat involved.And having the river sand close by is nice.Great post Pooh Bear,thanks for sharing this. lonewolfmichigan As a side note,Harbor Freight has their 'made in china' mixers on sale this week.They hold 3 1/2 cubic yards with a 1/3 hp motor for $199.00 and they probrably don't work half as good as yours. |

The HF mixers have 3.5 CF drums. If you turned the drum straight up and filled it with water it would hold 3.5 CF of water. They will only mix about 1.5 CF of concrete. Says on the box, mixes up to 220 pounds of concrete. A CF of concrete is about 150 pounds. So 1.5 CF would be 225 pounds. Where as my drum has a total capacity of 11 CF. Pooh Bear |

Jess and Miriam Stevens were "just plain folks" who made a living ranching and investing in the stock market. While they never had a family of their own, they loved children and were known to help families in need, but always very discreetly because they never wanted attention for their gifts.
After Jess died, Miriam continued privately giving to organizations that supported children. Following her death, hundreds of letters were found in her house from children from all over the world thanking her the gifts that had benefited their families and their lives.
The couple established a foundation to support education, medical care and research, and other needs. At TU, their namesake foundation created the Jess L. and Miriam B. Stevens Foundation Endowed Presidential Scholarship, the Jess and Miriam Stevens Foundation Endowment for Rowing, and the Charles C. Killin Music Scholarship Endowment in memory of Killin, a former trustee for both TU and the Stevens Foundation.

"A new analysis from the Brookings Institution's Ted Gayer and Emily Parker found that the program was fairly inefficient as economic stimulus and mostly pulled forward auto sales that would have happened anyway. It also cut greenhouse-gas emissions a bit — the equivalent of taking up to 5 million cars off the road for a year — but at a steep cost. … 'In the event of a future economic recession,' they conclude, 'we would not recommend repeating the [Cash for Clunkers] program.'"

Cash for Clunkers was the modern-day Bonfire of the Vanities. And Obama its Girolamo Savonarola.

One of the side effects of the program was to jack up the prices of used cars, often by more than $5K. That did no favors for the financially impaired.
- 3 11.04.13 at 4:54 pm
Looking at and reading the article indicates to me that this program worked.
2 main results desired were kick start auto sales and get high pollution, low efficiency vehicles off the road.
The authors seem to not realize that making a planned purchase earlier than planned is exactly what a kick-start is – lets get it going now, not next year (and the sales graph indicates a steady increase in auto sales following implementation) .
The authors admit that 'gas-guzzling' and pollution was reduced – and those are permanent changes wrought by this program.
John Burgess, do you have any source to support your claim that the price of used cars went up and often "by more than $5,000″?
- 4 11.06.13 at 8:09 pm
@FrankJBN, I don't have direct evidence, but supply and demand certainly would expect used car prices to go up. And I certainly observed it. The supply of older, lower-priced used cars went way down, thus making more demand for affordable cars.

Farah Scores Long Distance Double
August 16, 2012 by TMO
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Somalian-British long distance won the Olympic gold medal in the men's 5000 meter race, just a week after winning the men's 10,000 meter. He won the 5000 meter in 13min 41.66secs, fighting off Ethiopia's Dejen Gebreskel, who took silver, and Kenya's Thomas Longosiwa, who took the bronze.
Farah is only the seventh man to achieve the 5000m-10,000m long distance double, adding his name to a list of runners that includes Czech Emil Zatopek, Finland's Lasse Viren and Ethiopians Miruts Yifter and Kenenisa Bekele.
"I'm just amazed – two gold medals, who would have thought that?" said Farah, who moved to Britain at the age of eight after being born in Somalia and spending some years in neighbouring Djibouti.
"I got great support from the crowd. It means a lot to me and those two medals are obviously for my two girls who are coming," he said of the twins his wife is expecting. "I didn't feel great in the heats, but it was pretty good. The American guy tried to come past me but I knew I just had to hold on. It's been a long journey of grafting and grafting."
Farah generously pays tribute to the "genius" methods of his American coach, Alberto Salazar. In just 16 months the coach known for his unorthodox use of machinery such as the cryosauna, a cooling chamber used to aid muscle recovery, an underwater treadmill, and a punishing work ethic that means Farah keeps a treadmill in his bedroom, has elevated Farah from double European champion to double Olympic champion, picking up world championship gold and silver medals along the way.
Salazar's approach was blunt, and brutal. "Alberto said I run like a girl," said Farah, laughing now at the indignity of it. "I was weak." Salazar worked on Farah's strength, upping his mileage and added in grueling hill runs which initially left the Briton struggling to cope. In the Olympic Stadium he showed how the work had paid off as he finished strongly on the home straight to take double Olympic gold.
Moving to the other side of the world to train at Salazar's Oregon base last February was a huge risk to take so close to the London Games, Farah admits. "It felt like it was a gamble," says the 29 year old runner, who uprooted his wife, Tania, and daughter, Rihanna, so many miles from home. "There was a lot of questions asked at the time because I was double European champion and people were like, 'Mo why are you changing when things are going so well?' but in your mind you knew something had to change because I was coming sixth, seventh and if I didn't make that change I don't think I would have been [here] today and competing with those guys."

Open Source Communications Market
Are you currently fed up with having to pay 100s of dollars for writing and style software that doesn't work?
You might want to give the following business voip systems a go.
1) Open Office, the king and full of office suits. Readily available for PC, Mac and Linux platforms. Free of charge and has a spreadsheet and slide presentation programs well. Has a built-in PDF creator! You may be surprised with the treats that you could download free on the Open Office site. I have used Open Office for more than a year now. I could not recommend it any greater.
2) AbiWord. A lightweight word processor for individuals who don't need MS Word's complexity to create simple memos and letters. It runs even on archaic hardware that doesn't support Open Office or Microsoft Office. Has numerous features that you'd not expect inside a free word program.
3) Scribus is definitely an open-source program which brings award-winning professional page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X, OS/2 and Home windows desktop computers with a mix of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout. If you fail to afford Adobe InDesign or QuarkXpress, give Scribus a go.
4) Opera within my judgment is the greatest web browser available. I apply it to my machines. I really like its tabbed browsing pages also it never crashes lower. Experts agree that it's more secure than MS Ie. Which is free too.
5) Nvu is really a complete web authoring and HTML editor for Linux desktop customers in addition to Microsoft Home windows and Macs customers, much like rival programs like FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Personally, i don't use Nvu much since i love Adobe GoLive's drag-and-drop CCS "floating boxes" that maxes website development very simple. But, should you don't want to pay anything at all for the HTML editor, then I'd heartily recommend Nvu. It works fairly well when you are past its interface. It even includes a great built-in FTP engine.
6) GIMP is why Illustrator ought to be afraid, very afraid really. After they obtain the layers functionality as polished and convenient as those of Illustrator, I believe it might be difficult to stop GIMP. This free and complicated raster image editing program is bound to surprise you using its many PS-like features. I utilize it regularly.
7) Inkspace may become a significant competitor for Adobe Illustrator once (again) they enhance the layers functionality towards the Adobe level. It's a great vector drawing and editing program which use fairly regularly although I've found Illustrator simpler to make use of just from sheer habit. But Inkspace is free of charge too and its Bezier curves is equally as good as those of the Illustrator.
8) Wink is really a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, mainly targeted at creating lessons regarding how to use software (just like a tutor for MS-Word/Stand out etc). Using Wink you are able to capture screenshots, add explanations boxes, buttons, game titles etc and generate a powerful tutorial for the customers.
9) PDF Creator easily produces Ebooks from the Home windows program. Utilize it just like a printer in Word, StarCalc or any other Home windows application.
10) Gaim is definitely an im application readily available for free installing. It creates Home windows, Mac and Linux platforms. It works with many IM systems including Goal, ICQ, Yahoo!, MSN, Jabber, IRC, Napster, Gadu-Gadu, Zephyr, and SILC.

I know have quotes for a Kolbe wood window, the price for a full install of these are very close to what I have from Andersen and Pella, but for one exception.
I was quoted two prices one for the Kolbe Ultra traditional and one for the Ultra Sterling, the difference being the Sterling has an extruded exterior cladding and the Traditional has the roll form exterior cladding. The Sterling is about 15% higher. Neither of the Kolbe quotes includes the grilles we want so this may push them a little higher then the Andersen and the Pella quote. We have pretty much ruled out the Pella window and the contractor that installs Marvin in our area was out and took measurements last night so we expect to hear from them soon. We still need to see the Kolbe and the Marvin window in person, but hope to do that in the next few days. Now my question is having the Extruded cladding worth the extra 15% |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's ashame you have to come here to get those questions answered. |
Personally i would spend the $ if you can and get the Sterling which is the all Extruded unit. The Metal is obviously thicker and the color of the sash will be the same as the frame for the entire lifetime of the units frame, which may not happen if you go with the roll form as the gauge is much thinner on Roll Form(think coke can) |
- Posted by from_a_buick_8 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 9, 09 at 15:52
Thanks afsa, we have not seen the Kolbe window yet but from the post I have read on here it does sound like the extruded is the way to go. Ibwindows - I guess I worded my initial post incorrectly, what I was looking for opinions from folks on here if they thought the 15% difference in price was a true reflection of the difference in value between the two products. |

Report: Apple, Samsung Talking Patent Peace
Monday, May 19, 2014
(Undated) -- Apple and Samsung might be closing in on a deal to end their worldwide war over patents. The "Korea Times" quotes a source who says the South Korean and U.S. electronics giants have recently resumed "working-level discussions" and the key issue is how to dismiss all lawsuits. Previous talks have fallen apart when the two companies couldn't agree on a dollar amount. Apple CEO Tim Scott has often said he doesn't believe lawsuits are the best way to settle patent disputes.
