Reviews of this property
Cute cottage, lovely place. Unfortunately, Andreas was not there, we always find it nice to get some tips from the host, but everything was well organized. Metro, bus and shops to reach trough the park in a minute or 5-6, from there a few stops to the center. The metro stations of the blueline are worth worth seeing. Only comment about the cottage: the path to it is quite a bit of climbing. Stockholm is beautiful, and the combination of big city and stay as if you are in the forest is fantastic!. Andreas, thank you for accepting us as your guests!
The apartment is very nice with a market and transportation service very close. The sea is nerby and that is very great.
Andreas is attentive and friendly guy.
The WiFi Connection is not bad but is not the best.
I recommend this place, do not doubt reserve.
Thanks Andreas for all.
Good Location, near a small habour and only 4 stops by tunnelbanna from Gamla Stan. (If you take the shotcut through the Wood behind the house you are at the Underground in about 5 minutes).Nice little house, everything you need for your stay, you can buy right beside the underground Station (COOP-Shop). The kitchen is well equiped and the living room is small but with a great look to the area. We enjoyed the stay very much, it was like at home but with the great connection to a marvellous city. Andreas was great, he showed us all necassary things (including washing machine, fuse-box: was very helpful for us!!). He was acquirable for us all the time, but it was not necassary. It was a comfortable relationship between guest and renter. Surely you can hear a little bit the traffic of the area, but on my opinion you have to accept this to be close to the center. But you have really no nerve-stretching neighbours. :-) The area was also very secure, we left also washed clothes outside the house and nothing was stolen. And sometimes we came home late, but all the ways were lightened up very bright. The 1. way to the house was also exactly as descriped from Andreas before arrival. So have a nice stay, as we had. :-)
It was a really nice and cozy cottage. Near downtown Stockholm. Can recommend it.
Es war ein richtig schönes und gemütliches Ferienhaus. In der Nähe der Stockholmer Innenstadt. Kann man weiterempfehlen.
Nice small house, belonging to a larger villa to Karl Bergstrand. The location was beautiful, in a wooded park within walking distance (10 minutes) from the Metro station and shops. Ideal. The cottage was not completely finished - owner was on refurbishing and the wifi barely functioned. But otherwise everything was perfect: the hot water, refrigerator, there was even a mini-washing machine.
Fijn klein huisje, behorend bij een grotere villa aan Karlsberg Strand. De ligging was mooi, in een bosachtig park op loopafstand (10 minuten) van het metrostation en winkels. Ideaal. Het huisje was nog niet helemaal afgewerkt - eigenaar was het aan het opknappen en de wifi functioneerde nauwelijks. Maar verder was alles perfect: het warme water, koelkast, er was zelfs een mini-wasmachine.
Only brief contact with the staff, uncomplicated
20 Euro for linen should be included in the price
Otherwise very clean and really had everything you need
Super centrally located and beautiful area, recommended for a Stockholm trip
Nur kurzen Kontakt mit dem Gastgeber, unkompliziert
20 Euro für Bettwäsche sollten im Preis inbegriffen sein
Ansonsten sehr sauber und hatte wirklich alles was man benötigt
Super zentral gelegen und schöne Gegend, empfehlenswert für einen Stockholm Trip
Beautiful, quiet location close to the city - 4 stops by Tunnelbahna to Central Station. Cute and expedient means in typical Swedish style, very clean. More suitable for summer. Shopping malls. Beautiful lake.
Host seems straightforward, unfortunately we had no personal contact.
20 Euro for bedding and Tüechli should be included in the price.
A few suggestions:
- In advance DIRECTIONS from subway station
- Information where the key is if there is no
- Please inform wifi access
- Set against Directions heating
- In general, a direct contact persons would be nice
Schöner, ruhiger Ort in Stadtnähe - 4 Stationen mit der Tunnelbahna nach Centralstation. Nette und zweckmässige Einrichtung im typisch schwedischen Stil, sehr sauber. Eher für Sommer geeignet. Einkaufsladen in der Nähe. Schöner See.
Gastgeber scheint unkompliziert, leider hatten wir keinen persönlichen Kontakt.
20 Euro für Bettwäsche und Tüechli sollten im Preis inbegriffen sein.
Ein paar Anregungen:
- im Voraus Wegbeschrieb ab U-Bahnstation
- Info wo der Schlüssel ist wenn niemand da ist
- Wifi-Zugang bitte mitteilen
- vor Anfahrt Heizung einstellen
- im Allgemeinen wäre ein direkter Ansprechspartner schön
We loved the stay in Stockholm! This accomodation is really lovely and comfortable. Especially the kitchen is useful, because food in the city is very expensive. Additionally the closeness to the metro station is great, so you only need about 15 minutes to the central station.
Unfortunately the internet is slowly sometimes, so you better don't need wifi.
Beautiful cottage to spend nice days in Stockholm
Schöne Hütte, um schöne Tage in Stockholm zu verbringen
The house is very special ... super friendly! The owner is very kind. The only sore point: the distance from the center and the metro!
La casetta è molto particolare...super accogliente! Il proprietario è molto gentile. Unica nota dolente: la distanza dal centro e dalla metro!

Excellent apartment, room was clean, close to all amenities including metro station with trains to downtown Manhattan and other areas, shops, bars and restaurant. The area is very safe and surrounded by a number of interesting venues including the Bronx zoo and a number of museums. Ricky was a great host. Would definitely recommend the place without hesitation!
Ricky was a really nice and friendly host and our room was ok! But the bathroom and the kitchen were so dirty!!!! I guess nobody ever cleans it up. First thing I did was scrubbing the bathtube so that it turned from black to light grey! Sorry Ricky, but also the kitchen was disgusting! Black slime in the coffe can!!!! Brrrr!
Ricky was always helpful and friendly. The apartement is very close to the next bus and metro station (3 min walk), but the journey to Manhattan can take a while, especially if you need to get all the way down to Wall St for example, also the trains can be very crowded depending on the time you are travelling. Cleanliness in the apartement was a big issue, even though there was a cleaning lady - she would clean the private room and also the living room / bathroom / kitchen area before the arrival of new guests, but unfortunately that wasn't enough, so we ended up cleaning the bathroom and also the kitchen area more than once as well. I guess if you are lucky and the other guests are more clean and considerate (there are 3 more rooms) when it comes to cleanliness and loudness you can have a great time at the apartement - unfortunately we were not that lucky, so for us having a shared bathroom and kitchen area with others sadly ended up being rather annoying.
Great appartement, nice neighborhood, but (too) far from the city. It's an easy connection downtown but it's not likely you go back to your appartment between activities. So you have to plan your day before you leave.
We had a great stay at Ricky's appartement. It was just 2 minutes from the metro.
Only the bathroom was dirty. This was because we had to share it and nobody cleaned it.
Haven't seen Ricky once but the communication was easy and the room was clean and comfortable.
Very nice apartment, direct connection to the NY center, quiet, comfortable. The owner is very helpful. Great!!
Ricky is a realy nice man. We had a taxi from the airport. The taxi drop us somewere else. I give Ricky a phonecall. He told us to wait there. Within five minutes he was there. So good. Everything was Ok. We were glad to share this house. Room, kitchen, livingroom was Ok. Bathroom can be cleaner. Next time we will bokec this agains. We enjoy our holiday.

Hello all! Alright so its time for me to start my log here, now that I know what case I'm going to use for this mod comp put on by Cooler Master. Thank you CM once again for this awesome comp!! So I originally was going to use a Cosmos II for my entry and then saw all the entries with that case and decided to figure out something else. So I stopped by the CM store and saw this nice and soon to be released case with a clock ticking down and thought what the heck! So I will be using newly released Scout II for my mod. Not sure on the mods to it yet but I haven't done any red themed cases in awhile and EVGA was so kind to sponsor me a board and gpus for the comp. Now this is the first time working with EVGA and I'll try not to disappoint. I am un-sure of what will be all involved in this mod yet but I can say there will be some paint and water in the end result. I have been looking for a mid size case for awhile to make a more LAN party friendly pc since I travel to a lot of the LAN parties here in the USA. So the release of the Scout II and this mod comp couldn't have been timed any better. Ok so lets get down to business.The overall appearance of this case grabbed me. The look is sleek and has a newly designed handle on top.
I wasn't a big fan of the first Scout because of the cooling capabilities but this one looks to have a lot better cooling options. The side panel has a small window to see your hardware, but I will be changing that of course! The Scout II is growing on me for the sleek and elegant look of the case and because of the handle up top which will be handy for my LAN party travels, but the best part of the handle it doesn't look like one, but rather just blends right in and goes with the look of the case. So with that said I think its time for me to mod this case!!!
First I would like to thank all my sponsors for the help in this competition (Will update as I go.)
Spec- So far
CM Storm Scout II
Evga Z77
Evga GTX680 x 2
Intel i7 3770K
Scout II
Evga Z77 and Evga GTX680
Intel i7 3770K
That's it for now will update as parts arrive.

At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do to this case hence the name UnKnown, but I decided I wanted to keep the appearance of the original look and decided to change out the front mesh and alter the look there somehow. I also decided a big window would be nice, so here is some pics of progress....
First case before any tear down......
Here is some tear down of case....
Two different meshes from MNPCTECH.com Hmm which one??
So far here is some hardware I have for this build.....
And who has installed a system before testing hardware? I think we all have so here I'm testing and loading OS. And a closer look at the sexy Evga products!!
Don't mind the cooler is this one.
Thats it for now. Thanks for looking. I should have another update this weekend because I am working the door and mesh.....

Ok so I did some work this weekend. Here's some pics of the front panel. This was my first time replacing mesh with mesh. A few tools I used were my metal brake and some 10 snips.
I added some black to better promote the mesh and honeycombs in second pic. So here's the front all done till it goes to paint shop....
I also did some work on the door. Here is the cut for my window....
Thats it for now. Thanks for looking. Until next time......

A little update. I did some work on the interior of the case. I started making a mid plate, a shroud to go around the fans and a piece to fill in the gap next to motherboard tray.
Also got some goodies in the mail today from Performance-Pcs, Cooler Master and Patriot. Thank you!! On with the pics....
Nice clean bend from my brake....
test fit and cut the shroud piece.
Cutting some holes for wires and to see psu logo.
I chose to use angle aluminum for my mounting because it is thicker so it gave me more metal to tap. Then u can see where I tapped for screws on back of mobo tray for easy removal.
Testing rad clearance.
Bent and cut my fan shroud.
Sorry Cooler Master but Mnpctech's feet look better!
Here u can see I had to cut away bottom portion of drive bay for fittings and rad clearance.
And last but not least. I cut the filler piece next to mobo tray. It just looked naked there.
Thats it for now. I am hoping next update will be a new paint job and some powder coating. Until next time........

Alright time for another update. I just got the inner case parts back from powder coating and the case has paint!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy............
And the airbrushing was done by Nano from AirRaid Airbrushing.
and added some more detail..........
I hope everyone is liking the way this coming out. I am really excited about the way this is coming together. Still need to get clear coat on the case and I'm still waiting on some more parts from my friends over at FrozenQ PC Mods. Until then. Thanks for looking.

Ok so it's time for an update on my mod. here we go!!!!!
So a lot of pics. here's fresh back from clear coating.
I started adding some hardware like the Excalibur fans I painted to match.
Started to lay out some WCing parts.
Installed the motherboard for placement of surrounding parts.
FrozenQ res came in so finding a home for that and the pump.
small space to have the cooling connecting but it will work
Almost forgot FrozenQ is coming out with a new cpu waterblock. It will look similar to this. The one I have is the prototype. To the surrounding edges it will have acrylic with optional etching and such.
EVGA GTX680's getting cooled
680's installed........
running the tubing for the wcing......
An the fun part filling the system for the first time. I used Mayhems light Red Pastel for this build.
Thats it for now thanks for looking. Still a lot of work PSU needs sleeving and debating on copper tubing but may have to take out psu shroud for that. Decisions!!! Until next time.

Ok so I have some more pics. I got this mod up and running for Sacramento Lanfest so I could show Evga what they got involved in. So this is most likely going to be reworked because I'm not too sure I am happy with it. Anyways on with the pics..........
I had some logos done. Karl Maser does excellent work!
And what is a mod without the best from Nils!!
For kicks I took it out for some sun and you can see the graphics better.
That's it for now will be back soon if I decide to make some changes. Until then............

Alright so I made a few changes to this mod. As you will see I decided to take out the sub-floor. I think it was a fare trade! I have been doing some reading about running copper tubing and finally made the plunge. I pick up a few tools and some 12mm copper tube to start playing with and decided to go for it. Here's some pics.
I picked up a two handle pipe bender, a cutter and used my trusty MNPCTECH mod ruler to get accurate measurements....
While I had the board out I went ahead and took a couple more pics of the FrozenQ prototype waterblock...
And here's how it came out...
I also started on the psu.....
Thats it for now. Thanks for looking. More to come. Until then......

Ok so here is some finished pics. First The sleeving. I also changed the PCI-E cables to have each cable split into 2 6 pin cable about 5 inches from psu....
Some pics of the finished mod "UnKnown"
Thanks for looking at my log. Until next time.....

Wow! I love that art!
I think that the colour of the copper of the tubes doesn't match with the entire mod... it was better with the red tubes!

All done with the assembly here's a couple more pics and then I'll have to round up some CES pics.
More pics soon......... Until then.... Thanks for looking.

Nowadays, the salary cap governs everything a GM does.
The draft pay-scale is designed so that if all draftees make the team, cap-hell is averted (simplified, but you get the point).
JR has a list of positions where guys are coming off contract down the road, and who he can cut and when. He'll concentrate picks on those positions.
JR has to do a better job of making more draft picks stick. That's the long-term key to getting out of our cap-hell. More production out of picks 3-7.
The Giants under Reese take chances on guys they feel they can develop. Barden, Beckum, Robinson are all examples of this. Even JPP was seen as a project since he had such a limited football background.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
I really need to make a graph to show people how the giants draft. Its not BPA nor is it need.
reese has said plenty times, they stick to BPA....But will fill BPA that happens to be a need also when multiple BPA's may be closely ranked on their board
They have time to develop bc they sit the bench for 2 years before tc put them in.....................just kidding...........no Im not........................just kidding

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Alternate phone number: (800)755-1350
The Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery was founded in 1884 by David T. Denny (1832-1903) and his wife Louisa Boren Denny (1827-1916) on one of their many land investments in Seattle's north end. The cemetery straddles Aurora Avenue N beginning just beyond N 109th Street. Most members of David's branch of Denny family and that of his cousin Henry Levi Denny are buried there.

David Kelley:
How to build your creative confidence
Is your school or workplace divided into "creatives" versus practical people? Yet surely, David Kelley suggests, creativity is not the domain of only a chosen few. Telling stories from his legendary design career and his own life, he offers ways to build the confidence to create... (From The Design Studio session at TED2012, guest-curated by Chee Pearlman and David Rockwell.)

Gifts of Life Insurance
Life insurance is also an excellent tool for accomplishing philanthropic goals while realizing other important financial objectives. Indeed, life insurance can empower individuals to make charitable gifts they never would have dreamed possible.
Making a gift of life insurance is quite simple. If you are the insured-policy owner you simply transfer physical possession of your policy to the charity of your choice and file an absolute assignment or transfer of ownership form with your insurance company. Your company then will send a letter to the charity showing that the charity is the sole owner of the policy. If you do not change the beneficiary of the policy to the charity prior to transferring ownership, the charity should name itself as beneficiary after ownership has been transferred.
Hypothetical Example
Emmett owns a $100,000 life insurance policy with a cash value of $40,000. No further premiums are due and he no longer needs the coverage. He can assure that his charity will receive $100,000 at his death by making the charity the beneficiary. Or he can transfer ownership of the policy to them now. When he transfers ownership, Emmett receives a charitable deduction equal to the lesser of his cost basis or the policy's replacement value.

Rd 1 Analysis: Folks, DD is in decline and we have hole at RT, and Brewer is no proven replacement. In addition to this, Snee won't play for much longer. JP can come in right now and be a starter. He can play several positions, but flexibility is no reason to draft a player at 19. At that spot you are looking for above average potential. I think JP can be a really good guard. We only have a one year deal with Boothe. The experts all say his game tape is awesome. We needed Oline help, and have needed help for the past few years. We don't have another 3 years to wait for a project pick to develop.
Rd 2 Analysis: Why in the world does anyone bring up Kuhn and Austin as a reason not to draft a DT? Neither proved they were great at anything, though Kuhn showed off limited potential. Hankins is more powerful than either one, by far. He was the second best run defending tackle after Lotulelie (sp) in the draft. We were soft up the middle last year and this may address that issue for the long term. 30 year old Mike Patterson nor 35 year old Rogers are long term solutions, and did not factor into any draft decisions.
I have been BEGGING for a run stuffing DT for years now and we finally drafted one. A guy built to play 1 tech at the 3 tech. Best pick of the draft if he comes to play. Yes, Kuhn and/or Austin are now expendable. This kid has the potential to dominate at the point of attack like Robbins and the Hammer, freeing up our LBs to make plays. I don't see how you could have watched last year's run defense and feel Joseph alone is all we need. I love this pick. Hankins is our new run stopping gangster!
Rd 3 Analysis: Great value here for Moore, but hes 250 lbs and I see him as speed rush specialist. We have time for him to develop. I hope he can stay focused with all that NYC has to offer a 20 year old kid with a phat bank account. I like that he has proven production. The kid just needs to get stronger and treat this as a job.
Rd4 Analysis: Nassib. IDK if I would have moved up to get him. We should start grooming somebody behind Eli, but it seems kind of early. Eli should have at least 5-6 years left. I understand the logic so it wasnt that upsetting.
Rd 5 Analysis: Taylor Cooper seems like a great pick. I never heard of the kid, but hes got great measurable. Hell be a great special teams guy and a force against the run and covering TEs. He could become a LB as well. Hes only 10 lbs away from 240. He could be a good safety or a really good LB if he can handle the transition. I love this pick.
I dont see much of a future for Herman or Cox; maybe Herman develops into something as a project linemen.
Final draft grade: Need- A+, Value B+

Where I stayed
with a Ayamara Indian family
Then we went to the Ayamara island where we met our host family that we stayed with for the night.
The family made us quinoa soup for lunch with goat cheese over rice.
We had a great fiesta at night, wearing the traditional clothing of the Ayamara indians. We danced with them and everyone drank Cusquena beer.
There were no lights on the island so we used our cell phones as flashlights. Only problem was when they both died then we had no light and did not know what time it was. Luckily, a nice German girl lent us her watch for the night so we could meet up with everyone in the morning at the right time.

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Augason Farms Emergency Food Storage Kit, 1 Year, 2 People:
The packages of each item are far too large. If there was a true emergency, you have to assume that there will be no cooking facilities and no refrigeration.You open a can for two people and there are 10. 15, 20 servings. Who's going to consume all that product and what do you do with the leftovers?Seems to me a more practical solution would be to package the food like military MREs so there would be no cooking, no refrigeration and no waste.Also, where are you going to find 15% relative humidity for storage. My house is 45% with the air conditioning running constantly.NOT PRACTICAL OR WELL THOUGH OUT.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good idea, but not enough daily calories
By Beacon in the dark
from New England
This is a great idea and gives you a place from which to work. It can be difficult to start from scratch and store a lot of large quantity separate items with short shelf lives. This is just a start. You need a lot of water to add to your plans an more than 1,200 calories. If it is cold outside or you are in a water emergency situation your going to burning more than 1,200 cals. to keep warm. If it is hot outside you're going to be trying to stay cool. This is a good start, but be smart in your planning and H E L P O T H E R S !
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Here are some details from the Lua site directly:
What's in a name?
"Lua" (pronounced LOO-ah) means "Moon" in Portuguese. As such, it is neither an acronym nor an abbreviation, but a noun. More specifically, "Lua" is a name, the name of the Earth's moon and the name of the language. Like most names, it should be written in lower case with an initial capital, that is, "Lua". Please do not write it as "LUA", which is both ugly and confusing, because then it becomes an acronym with different meanings for different people. So, please, write "Lua" right!
What is Lua?
Lua is a powerful, fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
Anyone with experience and/or thoughts to share on Lua?

Discussion in 'Members Zone' started by pittdawg, Dec 15, 2005.
what kind of reception can we expect to get at the game? friendly or nasty like philly?
There is a thread about some guys meeting up to tail gate there this weekend...it is in the tailgate zone of the forum.
So maybe you might want to meet a few cowboys fans and maybe get some free food.
Danny White goes every year... he tailgates and many Cowboy fans meet up there...
Check this thread:
Word is that the Redskin fans are nothing like the iggle jerks although they are just as ugly...
My understanding is not only are they very ugly they smell extremely bad too something to do with the Potomac
It really varies but a good rule of thumb at FedEx is to adhere to the following equation:
(number of tattoos redskin fan has/number of teeth) X number of beers he or she has = degree of obnoxiousness
Most of us normal folk with a few tattoos are ok (like Rob) but once the ratio starts to increase based on the number of teeth missing is when you need to worry.
Nothing like Philly, should be an enjoyable day
thanks for the info and will try to say hello. i'm driving down from nj and don't know exactly when i'll arrive.
Hey Mr. P. Rob looked real good last week.., and I love his quotes in the paper this week about the whole line keeping it up.
I've never been to a Dallas-Skins game at Fed Ex but I did live in DC for a few years, and my impression was Skins fans are as committed a fanbase as you can find..the level of dedication surprised me..it really brought a home town flavor to the nation's capital. Don't tell Extremeskins, but I found them pretty classy fans.
What I'm hoping is Brunell tosses another three picks early, and the fans turn on their own team. Fast.
Good luck to your boy and the whole team on Sunday.
sounds similar to an equation i was told to use when going to morgantown for a pitt/ west virginia game.
Yeah, it does ring true of UWV fans. :laugh2:
Watch your mouth mister...and remember...it was Pitt who got their teeth kicked in and now missing after this past game.
Went to Fedex once, in Quincy's second year - we beat them. It was a great experience because I had "louge" seats (I think that is what they are called in the end zone, pretty much suites except it was open but heated)) private bathrooms and catering. Best experience ever watching a football game in person.
The fans in there were fine and except for 1 fan who wanted to rip my head off after the game, but otherwise they were all pretty nice.
Have fun.
you're not kidding, what a spanking. i guess rob got out of there just in time.
You watch your mouth too...besides what is this UWV you speak of? WVU not UWV...sounds like an abbreviation for United Welfare Virgins or something...and for the record I am not on welfare, I am not a virgin...and I don't think I am united. :
Hope to see you there. DannyWhite does it up right! Directv for the early games and plenty of food. I was there last year, and provided I can continue to get tickets for this game each year, I will be tailgating there every year.
Was the best tailgating party i've been too. Good food, good fans, and then a Cowboys Win!!!!!!
Teeth more like Tooth :laugh2:
I've been to a couple skins games, as I live in this area. For the most part, you'll get jeered for wearing the jersey, but it is not violent generally. Since you are classy, I'd not worry too much, and wear your jersey proudly. There are more Boys fans in this area than you know!!! Represent because I don't think I can find decently priced tickets in time to cheer with you guys!!!
Well if you want to say that people from Pitt have only one tooth...I will not argue.
Either or
I don't know my letters..see what an education at WVU deprived me of?
I love seeing you get your chops busted, HAHHAHHAHHAHAH! :laugh2:
Are you calling me Pork Chop?
Well that will do donkey...That will do.

I'm planning to overwinter as many nucs as I can in the fall/winter of 2009-2010. I'm trying figure out when the latest time to make a nuc would be for simply overwintering them. Here are my approximate nectar flows:
May 1st - June 15th...very strong spring flow. A hive that built up really well in the spring will put up between 25-50lbs of harvestable honey.
June 15th - July 1st....a weak flow. A good hive will still put up 15lbs of harvestable honey.
July 1st - August 15th durring this flow a good hive will usually put up 50-100lbs of harvestable honey.
August 15th...derth.
Then we usually have a fall flow, but it seems to be a little hit and miss.
Anyway....I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea to make nucs around August 10th. If I can, I'd like to split each hive into four nucs and overwinter. So my question is, would this be to late to make nucs for overwintering?

Assistant Secretary Visits Innovative Center in Texas
Assistant Secretary Brenda Dann-Messier looked at Texas's Birdville Center of Technology and Advanced Learning on Oct. 21 to check out how innovation is finding its way into school programs across the nation. The school motto, "All students succeed in a future they create," captures the underlying philosophy of the school, which is to transition students to postsecondary and/or corporate environments successfully. From the physical environment, where classrooms appear more like conference rooms in order to create a more professional environment to an advanced curriculum that is targeted to the jobs of the 21st century, the school is organized to promote its goal, which is to prepare students for success in either transitioning to higher education or to fit into a corporate climate. Their career technology education embraces quality instructional partnerships with business and industry to successfully prepare students for the challenges of postsecondary education and a globally competitive workplace.
Birdville's curriculum offerings include: 21st century tools, arts and communications, business and marketing, health and medicine, science, engineering and technology, and social, personal, and public service. As part of an advanced media program, the school provides podcasts in the areas of forensic science, automotive technology, and culinary arts.
New York Invests AEFLA Funds in "Literacy Zones"
New York state is investing nearly $8 million annually in funds under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) to create 35 "Literacy Zones" statewide through 2013. Literacy Zones are a reform initiative developed by the State Board of Regents and the State Education Department. The geographic scope of a Literacy Zone is a neighborhood, zip code, school district, or community. Each one brings together a coalition of community stakeholders to focus on closing the achievement gap in urban and rural communities challenged by both concentrated poverty and high numbers of families and individuals with limited literacy or English language proficiency. The 18 Literacy Zones now operating have created family welcome centers that combine services and connect community members to benefits screening, case management, comprehensive services and referral, and pathways out of poverty. A sample of offerings includes:
- A continuum of literacy services from early childhood through adult, including strong support for parent involvement in their children's literacy development at home and their engagement with the school;
- Assistance and support for at-risk youths to enable them to complete high school and succeed in postsecondary education or advanced training;
- Postsecondary transitions that help out-of-school youths and adults earn a high school equivalency diploma and succeed in postsecondary education;

Where do you get Salt Peter (potassium nitrate)????
I have made Black Powder. It's perfectly legal. A friend built a "mortar" that will hurl a fourteen pound bowling ball two miles, using Black Powder. We'll soon go for three miles! I think he would do well in competition.
It's perfectly legal, provided you are building a cannon/mortar that is muzzle loaded, has no breach loading capability, and uses Black powder. I bought a five pound bag of Sulphur today. The only other thing you need are charcoal briquettes. That said, some formulas recommend the urine from a wino. I'm good in that department! LOL Enjoy! The briquettes must be ground very fine. Mix equal parts in thirds. Wham!
Many of you state it is dangerous because it is an explosive.
Not true!
It is used in the making of explosives yes.
It reduces male randiness. Not true. Complete myth.
If you will note the O3 part of it.
This is what when mixed with the proper amount of fuel, charcoal etc it can become an explosive.
Charcoal must have oxygen in order to burn. You remember, burning is a reaction of something with O2.
So if you were to put charcoal powder in a closed container, "cartridge with a bullet in front." It won't burn! YA GATTA HAVE O2!
Throw in the right amount of NAo# with the Charcoal and wala, you now have fuel, "Charcoal" and O2 in the NAo3.
When you ignite it, the Charcoal reacts with O2 and it burns at a fantastic speed. Since it is contained in a closed container it builds up a great deal of pressure in a very short time. We call it an explosion.
Example in one muzzle loader 45 cal 22 inch barrel black powder rifle the measured pressure is over 12,000 psi in less than one tenth of one thousands of a second.
This is an explosive pressure in a chamber with a given weight of shot, powder and blah, blah. It is far short of being a completely closed environment.
If this same powder was in a chamber just large enough to hold it and completely sealed the pressure whoul far, far exceed the stated pressure of the weapon.
Other things other than Charcoal can be use for fuel with the NAo3 as the oxidizer. Example on the farm when I was a kid we mixed Ammonium Nitrate with Coal Oil or other slightly heavy fuel oil. NOT GASOLINE!!
This was put in a coffee can and inserted into a hole under a stump.
The hole was dug with post hole diggers very close to the diameter of the coffee can. Then the spaces were filled with loose dirt and water poured in to compact it. When ignited thee stump became a projectial and the small hole dug becomes a crater. It is very dangerous and should not be done by anyone I've seen the writings of on the blog.
I see no one stating anything even remotely showing enough knowledge to do this safely.
Don't learn this by doing. Learn it by reading and from some one knowledgeable and practiced in this art. In other words don't do it from instructions found on the Internet or a book. Learn from someone who has done this a lot.
Be safe, keep all your digits!
From what I've read here
btw saltpeter is KNO3, not NAO3. NAO3 is sodium nitate, saltpeter is potassium nitrate. Although, they are very similar.
first off you're credit went down the drain when you typed NAo3 which does not exist also i think you meant NaO3 which also does not exist and is far from saltpeter (potassium nitrate) which is KNO3 also it's an oxidizer which means that it help the fuel burn without the help of oxygen.
DONT'T USE CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES!!! Those contain a large concentration of clay and cause much more residue and less of a potent mix. Use any hardwood LUMP charcoal... this is all natural charcoal (oxygen deprived burning wood). You'll have much better results.
CountryGun Thanks for the Information on where to Get the Salt Peter but we Are talking Chemistry here. You DO NOT want anything in the mix that is not needed because of that Charcoal briquettes are not the best idea as companies add all sorts of things to the mix to make them burn hotter and longer not to mention start Quicker. For best Quality I would suggest Making your own Charcoal. I think we have all seen the Char-Cloth Videos on you-tube. Its simple to do. You're just scaling up the idea. Use a old popcorn tin drilling a hole in the lid big enough to let the hot water Vapors out without letting in oxygen to feed combustion of the hard wood. AND DO USE hard wood. Soft woods such as pine contain resins most of the time that contain Turpin's where we get turpentine. If you really want to go big you could look at how others actually produce their charcoal for their Metal Forge's. I've seen some as big around as a small pool the size really is limitless as long as you can release the water vapors while not allowing combustion of the wood used. I Would NEVER Use Black Powder produced with briquettes in one of my fire-arms.
Lowe's, Home Depot, or just about any garden center. Look in the herbicides or stump removers.
Get an instant cold pack that clearly says it contains ammonium nitrate, cut it open and pour the contents into a container. If it's unused there will be a water pouch that you can discard. The rest of the pack is ammonium nitrate. Usually its coated in an anti-caking agent so it'll be off-color.
* If you're using an already used instant cold pack then filter out the liquid and let it evaporate until it's dry. The crystals will be ammonium nitrate.
Take 80 grams of ammonium nitrate and dissolve in 70 milliliters of hot water. This will take some time so be patient. It will take even longer in cold water, so use hot water when you can.
* If it has an insoluble anti-caking agent, you need to filter it off through a coffee filter after mixing.
Measure out 56 grams of potassium hydroxide, separately (see tips for procurement info). Add just enough water to completely dissolve the potassium hydroxide.
Add the ammonium nitrate solution to the potassium hydroxide solution, when both solutions are clear and ready. This step will produce large amounts of ammonia gas and must be done outside or in a fume hood.
Leave the solution in a very well-ventilated area (outside is best) for all the water and ammonia to evaporate. You can also boil the solution to dryness, just remember, it is still producing ammonia!
Now you have potassium nitrate! To test it, mix a small portion with an equal amount of sugar and set it on fire. Normally pure sugar does not burn but if the potassium nitrate works then it will flare up in a purplish pink flame.

Leasing laptopsI was shocked, but not surprised, to read in the Litchfield County Times that the BOE is reducing teaching positions but leasing personal laptops for the entire study body and teaching staff at Litchfield High School!
This is additional proof that the principal and superintendent are totally incompetent and have no concept about what it takes to teach.
Two of our children graduated from LHS, I know students, I set up an old computer for a student years ago who promptly replaced it with a new one.
I find it hard to believe that any LHS student does not have or have access to a home computer.
And if there is any teacher who does not have and use their own computer in this day and age, they have a problem.
There is no need for students or teachers to bring laptops to school, other than perhaps for a typing class.
It is teachers communicating verbally with students and using visual aids that provide an education.
All that is needed is a book, a blackboard, chalk, and a good teacher.
I have managed multi-million dollar budget public facilities, I have negotiated union contracts directly, I have handled grievances and terminations personally, I have managed budgets.
We need a superintendent who can do this, manage personnel and use the budget process to create a world class education system.
I do not see this here, so my tax money and the potential of our students is being wasted.
The BOE needs to take charge or get out of the way for others to improve our schools.

The Fair Tax PlanThe Fair Tax Plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue replacement, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment.
This nonpartisan legislation (HR 25/S122) abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax-administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.
The IRS is disbanded and defunded.
The Fair Tax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn.
The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
While Congress fumbles the ball on the economy by continuing to waste more tax dollars they don't have to stimulate the economy.
Ask yourself.
If the Fair Tax is implemented and every worker in this country receives their full paycheck plus the planned prebate without any deductions, wouldn't that be a tremendous stimulus to the economy?
If every business never has to file another tax return and pay income taxes ever again, wouldn't that be a tremendous stimulus? For more information www.fairtax.org or call 1-800-fairtax.

No more bragging for me--one of my hives has taken a significant dip in population and I went through it today to condense them down because there was too much comb for them to take care of. Now it has 10 frames fully populated and good amount of brood, and 2 medium frames of honey and pollen, and the balance is empty frames in the medium. In combining, there was an errant piece of brood comb which I cut out and it had 5 capped drone cells on it. When I was all done with the hive I checked those 5 drone cells and 3 of 5 had mites.
The hive is about 3 feet, then 5 feet, 7 feet, from other hives. Do I need to worry about mite spread? In this small area of 5 hives I've noticed starting since last fall they are not doing as well as 5 hives about 50 feet away. The only mite checks I ever do is the drone cell check, which last fall every hive was fine. I don't treat, obviously. Any advice?

AFFTON, MO (KTVI)-- Wild turkeys are on the move. For the second time in a week, a turkey has damaged a home in a suburban neighborhood.
The Missouri Department of Conservation says wild turkeys are on the move for three reasons, it is the middle of their mating season, last weekend was the beginning of the junior hunting season and females are dispersing into neighborhoods, looking for places to nest.
Dawne Chase's home in Affton became the latest victim of wild turkey damage. On Sunday, a neighbor saw a large wild turkey fly straight into the side of her house, crashing into the wall.
The damage resulted in dented siding and some small holes and cracks on the outside, but more severe was the damage to the inside.
The inside wall of her daughters' bedroom now has a huge hole in the drywall underneath the window from the impact. The window trim has fallen off the sill and left a drywall mess.
Chase said her insurance company will not cover the cost to fix the damage because of the specific cause of the damage.
The Missouri Department of Conservation said as wild turkeys make their way into residential areas, there is an increased chance that they can get scared by vehicles or people and become disoriented causing them to fly into objects.


text: Can anyone tell me if it is wise to feed bees throughout the winter? I live in central Texas where our winters can be mild. For example, my bees have been active during the past week. When I checked my two hives in late fall to get them ready for winter, one (new in 2002) only filled about half a brood chamber. We had a very dry spring, and I suspect not much honey flow. My other hive that produced 100 pounds of honey in 2001, produced nothing in 2002. I thought I'd try feeding the smaller hive through the winter just to see if they grow. For the past couple weeks I've actually been feeding both hives (sugar water). The smaller hive (All Americans) consumes a quart per day. The larger hive (Italians) consumes a quart in five days. Any comments?

text: Hey folks, I'm about ready for some new tires soon and have narrowed it down to two. I'd like ya'lls opinion and feedback on both of these tires. Some info first: I'm normally a highway driver (bout 80%) of the time with forays into gravel trails. Even though I live in a desert, the roads can become unbelievably slick with the slightest precipitation. As it is winter, I do plan on doing some driving in snow/ice as well when I head up into the mountains. Lastly, I'm currently riding on the BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain tires and have zero complaints. Now the dilemma: I was looking at getting another set of Rugged Terrains, but I've heard people mention some good things about the Nitto Terra Grappler's as well (http://www.nittotire.com/Tire/terragrappler ), and am not sure which route to go. The Terra Grappler's are a little more expensive, but I'm willing to shell out the extra cost if the tire is worth it. Some of the concerns I have is the longevity of the tires. I've acquired about 40K miles on my current set, and they're starting to show (my fault, failed to check alignment before long trip with heavy trailer...ouch), but feel confident that they'll last at least another 15K. What is the longevity with the Terra's? Do any of ya'll have a set, and if so what do you think of em? Just trying to get some feedback before I drop good money! Thanks again for ya'lls help in advance!

Hey ya'll,
My one hive is made up of a large and 2 mediums. I just checked the other day and the bees have filled out all of the frames.
I'm a noob at this so I am not sure what to do. ...Is it too late in the season to add another medium? Should I add another?

Ben Johnson, The White House Watch
Barack Obama has sometimes been fond of branding his Republican foes "hostage-takers," but officials in his administration have found a new hostage in their negotiations over raising the debt ceiling: the U.S. Constitution. The president's advisers and several "unbiased" media outlets are suggesting if Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling, Barack Obama can force the nation to continue borrowing money. The Founding Fathers required all expenditures originate in the House of Representatives, but Obama officials are wrapping his actions in the 14th Amendment. For the first time in living memory, the president is threatening to commit an impeachable offense if he does not get his way.
CBS News has reported the debt ceiling impasse leaves "the option of a congressional end-run by President Obama a possibility." Reporter Whit Johnson said, "The stalemate in Washington has some asking if President Obama could simply bypass Congress and order the Treasury to keep borrowing." Obama or his spokesman Jay Carney has been asked twice about the possibility and, despite an incredibly misleading headline from the Associated Press, neither rejected the possibility. (Carney merely said, "I don't think that I want to get into speculation about what might happen if something does or doesn't happen"; Obama replied, "I don't think we should even get to the constitutional issue.") MSNBC's Powerwall dared the president to carry it out, claiming it would be smart politically.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who has never shown much regard for financial laws, claims the president has this power under the Fourteenth Amendment. The fourth clause states:
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.

The Caravan Tours bus departed shortly after 7:30am and we drove straight to the Poas volcano. The drive is a bit harrowing along the winding steep inclines along the hillside. Many points of the road were one lane only and most bridges could only squeeze one way traffic at a time. We drove through many small towns all with their own unique charm. There were various road side vendors selling souveniers, produce and various other goods.
The Poas volcano area is known for it's Strawberries. We stopped at a small market and sampled them. The hillsides are covered in large black tarps, similar to how Ginsing is grown in the Okanogan valley in BC. This is the only area in Costa Rica that grows strawberries. The area is also well known for it's mangoes which based on the samples we have feasted on during our meals, is quite accurate. Our tour guide Karen is quite funny. She is still learning English, so many of her pronunciations are a bit off. She kept going on about the "sheeper" who "sheeps" things and we thought she was either talking about chips or shipping. She was talking about Sheppards who look after sheep.
Once we arrived at the volcano parking lot, we did a short hike up to the crater (pronounced creator by our guide Karen - which is hilarious because she was saying we are going to walk on the creator and I was quite worried about offending their Gods). Along the way up we saw various humming birds, but they were too fast and in constant motion so it was impossible to catch them on film. The view from the observation deck was impressive, although I was hoping for bubbling magma. Instead it was a pool of gray with some steam billowing out here and there. Down to the valley you could see the various lava flows cascading in to the low lying clouds
We broke from the group and did a short intense hike up to the lagoon off a side trail. Good for the calves! It was a beautiful lush area with crystal blue water. The temperature was pleasant due to the elevation (over 8000 ft above sea level). We made it back to the bus and started the descent back to the valley below.
We stopped at a fruit stand where they hawked some local wines and cheese. I browsed the souveniers, but they were WAY over priced. We sampled the local strawberries and were tempted to buy some mangoes. There was a small aisle of groceries. I got a photo of the "chips" aisle (not to be confused with sheeps). For those 30 Rock fans, you may find some comedy in this.
Further down the hillside we stopped Mirador Del Valle for a sit down lunch. There was an option of chicken, sea bass, or "meat" (beef). This was accompanied by the ever present black beans and rice, with a slaw type mix of veggies and some sort of cooked root vegetable. They served strawberry milk or juice with the meal and finished it off with rice pudding
After lunch we drove back in to San Jose and stopped at the Gold Museum which was very similar to the National Museum we saw the day before, but it had some very interesting local art. I got in trouble for taking some video - the security guard made me delete the footage I had taken. Strange, as they allowed photography as long as you didn't use a flash. I took photos of the most interesting stuff. Some of them are a bit blurry due to no flash.
We were back at the hotel by 3:15pm and we are resting up before dinner. We have to pack tonight as we are off to Tortuguerro tomorrow for two nights. We won't have any access to the Internet while there, so the next entry won't be until Thursday sometime. We hand our luggage over to the bus at 5:45am and won't see our suit cases until Thursday as well
So far the food has been excellent and we are eating very healthy. The rest of the people in the tour seem quite nice. The kids haven't been out of hand at all, but they are acting their age, which you would expect. There are no crazies in the group (at least that we have identified yet). Another couple from Canada is here with their daughter. They are from Windsor, so that makes three groups from Canada now.
I think it is time for a hot tub.

Short Loads
The economics and scheduling of concrete jobs can create cost and labor issues for public works departments that often need only small amounts of concrete. One good option is commercial-grade tow-behind concrete mixers, which can increase efficiency and cut costs.
The trailered concrete business is not new, but the equipment available has come a long way since the original tow-behind mixers that could result in concrete segregation and nonhomogenous pours. The newest tow-behind rotating drum concrete mixers have a 1.25 cubic yard capacity and an onboard water washout system, allowing users to complete jobs on their own schedule. Users are no longer dependent on the schedule of ready-mix producers, nor do they have to pay short-load fees and fuel surcharges.
Using these mixers, crews can place small concrete pours at an economical rate, far less than the cost of a delivered short-load. The machines deliver the same high quality, homogenous mix as ready-mixtrucks, but can easily be towed with a half-ton pickup truck. The onboard water washout system allows crews to keep the mixer out all day, by batching the concrete and washing and cleaning the mixer on the jobsite.
Tow-behind rotating drum mixers can be loaded with dry aggregate in the morning and taken to the jobsite; with bagged cement and water from the onboard water tank, concrete can be mixed and poured inthe afternoon with only six minutes of mixing time. Most popular concrete mixing trailers are diesel-powered, feature advanced hydraulic systems, and are built to heavy duty construction equipment standards.
Public works departments, park and recreation departments, school systems, transportation departments, utilities, and universities have found it economical to add this type of equipment to their fleets. In some cases where short-load fees and minimum purchase requirements are strictly enforced, cost savings can be significant, allowing the equipment to be fully paid for in less than a year for agencies pouring as little as 1 cubic yard per week.
Concrete repairs, sidewalk installations,and small infrastructure pours wil lalways be common jobs for a public works department. Tow-behind rotating drum concretemixers are an efficient tool to consider for this work.
