Man, woman in custody after SE Bend stabbing
Victim stabbed twice; non-life-threatening injuries
BEND, Ore. - A Bend man and woman were arrested after another man was stabbed twice during a dispute Saturday night at a southeast Bend trailer park, police said Monday. However, officers said they have not yet been charged in that crime as the investigation continues.
Police responded around 9:20 p.m. to the reported dispute involving several people at 330 SE Woodland Boulevard, said Lt. Chris Carney.
An investigation revealed that the victim, Raphael Lloyd, 40, was intoxicated and walking past the residence of Kinder Alyene Killian, 38, when they got into an argument, Carney said.
Killian reportedly retrieved a knife from inside her home and confronted Lloyd on the street. The argument turned physical when Killian allegedly stabbed Lloyd in the side, Carney said.
Two other people, including David Richard Kingma, 43, became involved in the altercation, at which time Lloyd was stabbed a second time, in the lower back.
Lloyd was taken to St. Charles-Bend and underwent surgery, Carney said, but his injuries are not life-threatening.
Kinder was held at the Deschutes County Jail on warrants for failure to appear on earlier drug possession and theft charges, while Kingma was held on a parole violation warrant.
Anyone with information in the case was asked to contact Detective Robert Jones at (541) 322-2960.
Several police officers were back at a trailer Sunday afternoon taking photographs, collecting evidence and interviewing neighbors.

There is no doubt about it! If you don't support everything that Obama does, YOU ARE A TERRORIST and a threat to America!
You May Be A Dangerous, Paranoid Doomsday Prepper If
Commentators are always quick to link guns and emergency stores to dangerous and paranoid actions that they consider to be tell tale signs someone is going to commit a crime. They always focus on these areas because it is a trait mostly seen in conservatives that know enough to question the governments ability to take care of every problem that emerges. In short, if you are not a Liberal that needs the government to make all of your decisions for you and care for you on a daily basis then there must be something wrong with you.
Any deviation from the norm of unpreparedness is a danger sign to these people that you are out of control and need to be stopped, detained and heavily medicated to assure compliance. Only when you are obedient to the state are you normal and safe. So what signs do you look for in a person or group that should make you suspicious?
The purchase of bullets by the thousands
If a person or group feels the need to purchase thousands of rounds of ammo in the belief they may need this to protect themselves and their family from some type of uncontrolled chaos in the future they are obviously troubled individuals. They need to be more sensible like the U.S. government that only buys 1.5 billion rounds of ammo, give or take a few million, that is only the bare minimum necessary for waging a 24 year war.
The purchasing of weapons by the dozen
If a person or group feels the need to have one firearm to protect themselves or their family due to lack of police protection, this is just irrational. And to have a dozen guns is bordering on paranoia. They need to be more like the U.S. government that only has 165.000 armed federal employees, give or take several thousand, and have several thousand automatic rifles on order as well as two million dollars worth of sniper rifles on order from Remington.
The storing of dehydrated and freeze dried foods for several months
If you perceive the potential need for stored food because of distribution problems or social chaos, having food stores for several months is just promoting the panic. You need to be more like the federal government and buy a billion dollars worth of freeze dried foods for disaster relief operations.
The building of underground bunkers for several people
The need for hiding underground in a bunker with several people is a clear sign that you are disturbed and very anti social and may be unbalanced. You need to have shelters like the U.S. government does that house at least a thousand people, and number no less then 150 nationwide to be considered normal.
Never order ammo in amounts less than one billion rounds
Never buy weapons in quantities of less than one thousand
Never buy less than one billion dollars worth of freeze dried food
Never build underground shelters that hold less than one thousand persons
Anyone who prepares with less than these amounts should be considered a dangerous and paranoid doomsday prepper by government standards. Any amounts over this are government sanctioned and considered appropriate measures for normal persons to take.
You May Be A Dangerous, Paranoid Doomsday Prepper If?

There is no doubt about it! If you don't support everything that Obama does, YOU ARE A TERRORIST and a threat to America!
O bum a ho is, is the clause being used. Hes destroying the country within and cant even balance a cheque book ...
Anyone that is true to this country, wouldnt in their right mind, do at what he did and is doing to this country ...
Obama is worse than my daughter was when she was a teenager with a checkbook, Both of them have the same mentality, Well as long as I have checks I have Money!! not so fast. I was able to cure my daughter, she bounced a few checks I covered them so she wouldnt get into trouble and then I ahd a friend of Mine who was a DA send her a letter! the type you get from the DA's Office saying you have 10 days to pay or be arrested for passing bad checks there were three in all and enough to get her a felony arrest if infact it had ever went that far and I hadnt paid her debts off, But it was priceless to see her sweat her skinny little butt off jumping everytime there was a knock on the door or the telephone rang I could hardly keep a stright face, my ex asked me how long I was going to let her dangle on the end of the rope, I told her Im going to enjoy this for awhile so dont ruin it ! my daughter was as good as gold she did choirs that she wasnt even asked to do. it was to funny got my truck washed too. I told her that Ill hold onto the money she was making to pay back the checks plus the overdraft charges, It was actually priceless and yes! I was very amused to watch her squirm it brightend up my whole month thats how long I strung her along. before I told her that the checks were paid off and whatnot, Till this day she has nver bounced another check
and I didnt tell her until she was 25 what I did to her on the check matter. She asked me do you know how scared I was I thought I was going to jail she said. And I replied do You know howmany times I told you to watch your spending? and do you know how much your mother and myself enjoyed watching you squirm like a worm. I asked her have you written any more bad checks? She said No Dad I have not and I never will again. I smiled and said good! My work here is done, and then I gave her what most of our parents gavce us the eturnal Parental Curse! I told her that One day I hope her child is just like her! And I still hear about it until this day. and usally it starts with do you know what your granddaughter did? ands I laugh and say, No what did your darling little daughter do that has you all bent out of shape and just laugh..and she says uits not funny! But I always disagree with her because it is funny now the shoes on the other foot!. But I have to admit she a good mom but she isnt beyond threating, She Will tell her daughter I;ll just send you to your grandfathers! and you wont be laughing then, And How I know Its my granddaughter, because she tells her mother go ahead send me to grandpas house he loves me and I can do whatever I want to, and my daughter asked her what makes you think so ? because Grandpa told me so and to tell you the same thing if you ever said you were sending me to grandpa's house,, Shortly there after the phone rang thankl god for answering machines LOL Now if they could only arrest obama for writting all these checks that the goverment cant afford but he wants the tax payers to cover!....Doc
the US federal government is the most paranoid prepper out there.
i would say buying billions of rounds of ammo just to keep it off the market with money the government don't have--had to borrow from china to do it counts a a little wack-jobish to me.
and buying all those wheeled tanks , building FEMA run concentration camps, don't help any.
yea the GOVERNMENT is paranoid skitzo --and should have to at least pass a background check and a psy evaluation --before they can buy a firearm--
but the RULES they want for US don't apply to them--
and to help with the fiances they just let a few 100,000 gang bangers out of prison--

Soldering copper water supply lines is not a difficult skill. Even a rookie can learn to solder leak-proof joints in 30 minutes. The process is simple—if you follow a few basic guidelines. In this story we'll show you how to solder copper quickly and easily.
There are two common gas regulators: One with an automatic igniter and one that requires a striker or match.
The recipe for soldering success calls for two parts prep work and one part science. If you do the two critical preparation steps well—joint cleaning and heating—the solder itself will finish the job. When the joint is hot enough, molten solder instantly flows into the joint and covers the entire mating surfaces completely, almost as if following detailed instructions. It hardens there as it cools. Presto, you have a solid, leakfree joint.
In this article, we'll walk you through the basic steps for soldering the copper tubing used in most homes. As you'll see, you don't need special skills to solder copper successfully. You can easily solder a leakfree joint on the first try—but you can also make mistakes. We'll show you how to avoid them, as well as alert you to simple, but critical, safety precautions that'll protect you from burns and keep your home safe from fire.
The basic soldering tool is a propane torch, which consists of a regulator and tip combination that you screw into the top of a small tank. To operate, open the fuel adjustment valve and light the tip. For lighting ease, we recommend the regulator that has a built-in igniter (above left). The gas lights at the push of a button. If you buy the simpler version (above right), buy a striker as well. Squeezing the wire handle produces sparks, which ignite the gas. The striker is simpler and safer than matches.
Also buy either "tinning flux" (Photo 5) or "paste flux." The flux acid-cleans the copper surface as you heat the joint, enabling the solder to flow evenly. Both types work well. The tinning flux contains a tiny bit of solder, but you have to add more solder anyway.
You can find all the basic soldering equipment at full-service hardware stores or home centers—a propane torch, solder, emery cloth (Photo 3) and flux. We also recommend a tube cutter, flame protector cloth (see opening photo) and heavy gloves and eye protection. Wear the gloves and goggles as well as a heavy, long-sleeve shirt and a hat to protect yourself from burns if molten solder drips.
Cut copper tubing cleanly with a tube cutter. Clamp the pipe between the cutting wheel and the guide wheel and rotate the cutter, scoring the pipe all the way around. Tighten the cutter knob a quarter turn and rotate the cutter again, scoring the pipe deeper. Continue tightening and rotating the cutter until the pipe snaps off, about eight turns in all.
Copper is a soft metal that's easiest to cut with a tube cutter (Photo 1). Buy one that cuts up to 1-in. tubing, the largest size you're likely to need for most household water supply lines. Cut larger tubing with a hacksaw, but make sure to file off all the burrs left from the saw teeth. Otherwise your joint will leak. Grip the copper tubing firmly in one hand and tuck one end under your knee to keep it from slipping while you tighten and rotate the cutter (Photo 1). Don't tighten it too fast; you'll dent the pipe and have to start over.
Ream the cut end to remove the inside burr by inserting the reaming attachment and twisting a full revolution.
The cut may look clean, but remember to remove the small inside burr (Photo 2), a ridge of copper that's forced inward by the cutting wheel. Otherwise, it'll impede the flow of water through the pipe.
Clean dirt and corrosion off the outside of the pipe end with emery cloth. The copper should shine.
Then clean the mating areas of the tubing and fittings, even if they look brand-shiny new. Thorough cleaning is the A-1 key to copper soldering success. It ensures a solid, leak proof joint.
Clean the inside of the fittings with a special wire brush that's sized to fit the tube diameter. You can also wrap emery cloth around your finger to reach the inside, but don't touch the cleaned surface with bare hands.
Cleaning is a two-step process—first, clean all corrosion off the mating surfaces (Photos 3 and 4), and second, coat the surfaces with flux (Photo 5), an acidic paste that chemically etches the copper.
Pros clean copper with strips of 120-grit emery cloth, which is usually sold alongside the solder and flux on hardware and home center shelves (Photo 3). But fine steel wool or regular 120-grit sandpaper will do in a pinch. Clean the inside of fittings with the emery cloth too; simply roll a short piece around a finger and reach inside. But you'll soon get sore fingers! The handy fitting brush shown in Photo 4 makes this task easier, especially with small (1/2-in.) fittings.
Brush an even layer of flux over the surfaces to be joined—the pipe ends and the insides of the fittings. Then push the joint together until the copper tube seats full depth. Wipe off excess flux.
Heat the joint with your propane torch, moving the cone back and forth to heat it evenly. Hold the solder against the joint on the side opposite the flame until it melts and flows into the joint. The joint should appear full on all sides. Move to the next joint. The solder hardens as it cools.
Typically it's easiest to clean, flux and assemble the entire run of copper and then solder the joints in place all at once (opening photo). Fire up your torch and adjust the flame so the blue cone in the center is about 1-1/4 in. long. The longer the cone, the hotter the flame. The hottest point is at the tip of the cone, so hold the flame so that the tip just touches the fitting (Photo 6). It's not necessary to heat the copper tube directly, because the fitting quickly conducts the heat to the tube inside the joint. When the temperature of the copper reaches the solder melting point, the solder wire you're holding against the copper will suddenly liquefy and flow into the joint. Hold the solder opposite the flame, the coolest point, to make sure all parts of the joint are hot enough. Solder won't fill spots that are cooler than its melting point. Fill the joint until solder drips out, then move on to the next joint. Give the joint 30 to 45 seconds to cool and harden before putting pressure on it. Be careful; it'll still be too hot to touch.
Be patient when soldering brass valves. The fitting may require five to six times as much heat to raise the joint to the solder melting point. Heat the joint from several sides if possible. Always leave valves at least partially open when soldering them.
Angle the tube end upward when soldering on a threaded adapter to avoid filling the threads with excess solder.
Avoid overfeeding the joint. About 1/2 in. of solder is enough for a 1/2-in. copper joint, 3/4 in. of solder for a 3/4-in. copper joint. Overfeeding can clog the tube.
You can't solder tubing that has water in it. You have to drain water lines and dry the tubing in the area being soldered. Heating the tube with your torch speeds this up. Make sure any pressure that builds in the tube during soldering can escape. The easiest way is to keep a faucet open at one end of the line.
Safety Tiips
Keep a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water or spray bottle handy. . . just in case your torch starts a fire. Remember, your household water supply is often turned off while you work!
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Propane torch, Emery cloth, 120 grit, Flame protector cloth, Fire extinguisher, Fitting brush, Striker, Gloves
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Kiwon studies and teaches all "walks of life"
B.S., Inha University, Incheon, South Korea; M.S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
I have always had a strong desire to teach at the college level. This has been one of the main reasons I pursued my doctorate degree. I truly enjoy sharing with others the experience of learning and growing intellectually.
My doctoral studies focus on the dynamical/biomechanical analysis of walking and on the development of a new technique to characterize coupled joint patterns in the human gait. I have used dynamical/biomechanical tools to examine functional gait performance and slip/trip/fall risks that challenging walking conditions pose for various population groups such as firefighters and Parkinonian patients.
I enjoy swimming, playing table tennis, baseball, basketball and golf, and watching football. I also enjoy spending time with my two children, Aaron and Andy.

most likely the best game you will ever play. involves a ping pong ball, active people/students who can get low to play, and is similar to 4 square. rules are as follows: no slamming into other's squares, can only bounce once into your square until you hit it out into another's square and girls usually aren't allowed to play. players keep advancing, main goal is becoming king.
in ping square, say a group of 4 people wanted to play(though it is better with 6 or so), they all get in their square and the "king" serves it to whoever they want. the person who gets out is the one who had the ball bounce more than once in their square before they were quick enough to get it out.

I'm starting to put medium frames of brood above queen excluders to use in my queen castles when my virgin queens arrive.
I'm concerned about over stocking / under stocking the mating nucs with bees.
My intention is to have mostly sealed brood with just a small amount of older larvae, a frame of honey and pollen, and a mostly empty frame possibly containing some nectar.
With that makeup, would the bees covering the prepared frames be adequate? I picture there being about two cups of bees...
How many nurse bees should a three frame medium mating nuc be stocked with?

Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
Washington Post:
Billick Says He May Continue Platoon at QB
Boller's Play, McNair's Health Cited
By Camille Powell
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, September 25, 2007; Page E07
OWINGS MILLS, Md., Sept. 24 -- Kyle Boller's career as a Baltimore Ravens quarterback has taken several turns over the past five years, from first-round draft pick to oft-criticized starter to valued backup. Now, Boller appears to have a new role: late-game reliever.
One day after Boller replaced starter Steve McNair in the fourth quarter against the Arizona Cardinals and led the Ravens to a winning field goal, Coach Brian Billick said he has no qualms turning to Boller in late-game situations as McNair continues to recover from a strained groin.
There is no question McNair, who was injured in the season opener and missed the second game, is Baltimore's starting quarterback. But considering his age (34), the beating his body has taken over 13 NFL seasons, and the way Boller has performed this month, Billick said he would consider using a similar platoon even after McNair is healthy.
"It depends on the continuity of the team, what Steve's doing and, you know what?, I got the sense that Steve would be okay with that under the right circumstances," Billick said during his weekly news conference. "That's 20 fewer plays, five fewer hits, whatever it may be. There was a freshness to Steve's arm in the [Arizona] game, because of the week he had off previously. We're lucky to have that latitude with Kyle."
Boller showed signs of improvement during the final three games of the 2005 season, his last as a full-time starter, and was reliable as a backup last year. He's been poised and confident this season, nearly leading the Ravens to a last-minute comeback against the Bengals in the opener -- a potential game-tying touchdown pass to tight end Todd Heap was waved off because of a questionable penalty -- and then taking the Ravens past the Jets, 20-13. He is completing 64.7 percent of his passes, the best average of his career, and has thrown two touchdowns and one interception.
I have to hand it to Billick for imagination (although, to now reveal the truth: Greg & I gave Billick the exact same recommendation -- when we caught him walking over the Hamburg Street Bridge before an early '99 game -- about having Stoney Case come in as a closer for Tony Banks).In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
The problem is that both Mcnair and Boller throw the short passes. It's just the way the offense is. If you bring Kyle in to throw the medium and long passes, teams are going to catch on to what you're doing and it's not going to work. We're better off sticking with one QB IMO. Now who knows if that's Boller or Mcnair? Obviously Mcnair is not 100% healthy right now. As long as he keeps playing with this groin injury he will never be 100%. I say let Mcnair rest for at least this week. Give Kyle the start in Cleveland and go from there. I'm starting to think that this injury to Mcnair is going to stick around with him all season.

Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
I really can't understand why people insist on this idea that the offense is all short passes with McNair and medium and long with Boller.
We run the same offense with both QBs.

Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBsOriginally Posted by Mista T
I'm not reallly crazy about the idea -- if McNair is still bothered by the groin, why play him at all? Give him time to heal if he needs it. And if he's healthy, I don't think pulling him out of the game if he's playing well is such a great idea.
Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBsBut considering his age (34), the beating his body has taken over 13 NFL seasons, and the way Boller has performed this month, Billick said he would consider using a similar platoon even after McNair is healthy.
I think Billick wants to give Boller that chance to prove he can start, but do it in a very controlled environment. I really believe this team did not give up on Boller and what you're starting to see is Kyle being tested. Especially after the situation Sunday.
Again, I could be way off (and I'm sure the usual suspects will say so). But I am beginning to firmly believe my "turn back the clock" theory more and more.
Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
I'm not big on the closer idea. this isnt baseball. Billick should stick with a starter, be it Boller or Mcnair because late in the year (and hopefully in the playoffs) we will need to have a qb who is ready to play from start to finish. Now if this method is going to be in effect for only a few weeks, then its brilliant because it keeps our qbs healthy and sharp but at some point at least one of them needs to have a few games under their belt when we get deeper into the season.
The main draw back to this closer idea is if Boller gets a nagging injury and he is hampered by it throughout the rest of the season, you put the team at risk. What if Boller gets a groin injury and he cant throw straight in a few games. In a way you're letting both of your QBs take shots when they shouldn't.
At this point Boller is able to start and be productive. There is no denying this. In his recents games his performance is making many forget his early problems. However At this point he is coming along so lets not ruin the maturity and continue to let Boller earn to learn. He can only get better, right?
As long as Steve Mcnair is still able to go, he should start. He's done nothing to lose his position. I tend to agree, this MFer is fragile, and I dont know how much longer he can hold up. We should ride him for as long as we can. When he is completely broke down, Then is the time Boller can come in and Shine.WOW! I feel so fortunate that the Ravens did what they had to do to make this happen. Thank you. My Heart is with the Raven....My Heart is with Baltimore and its great fans. What can I say. Here We Go!!! --Ray Lewis
No, Thank you Ray... :ww:
Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
Stupid idea. I'm sorry. Good teams have a field general at QB who can take charge, and who the rest of the offense knows is in charge. Switching up like that is just a lightning rod for controversy and locker room dissent. McNair is the starter, and nothing in his performance against the Cardinals should have changed that. He played fine (as did Boller).
But Billick needs to pick one or the other to start. This is ridiculous.
Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
Hey let's just throw Mark Clayton and Troy Smith into the backfield for some zone reads for shits and giggles. :D
Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
I don't think Billick nor many of us thought the Ravens defense would let Ariz. back in the game. Up 23-6, it made sense to rest McNair as he was limping (I could see that from the upperdeck) for the fourth qtr and give Boller some reps. What is Billick supposed to do when suddenly the Cards are back in the game? Take Boller out? This would create more controversy by suggesting that he doubts Boller's ability when in a critical situation. He was really in a "no win" situation here. I think he had to go with Boller and lucky for all involved Boller handled the situation. Now he has "inherited" a quarterback controversy but with two quarterbacks with about the same ability as far as winning games, how could he avoid it?
I imagine Billick is ripping Rex Ryan a new one at thia point for it was really the defense letting down that has caused this "controversy". If the defense continues to dominate and the Ravens win 23-6, no one would question Billick replacing McNair.
Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
If McNair wasn't healthy we shouldn't have played him in the first place. I know he is a warrior, but Kyle has been playing well lately and he tradionally plays well at home. There was no need to rush Steve back.
That said I am only ok with this platoon approach if we are winning handily, like we were in the last game. College teams often put in their younger players in these situation to get them experience and save their starters from needless hits.
Kyle is playing really really well right now, but I'm still so gun shy when he is in that I'm not ready to jump back on the bandwagon. I never really recovered from the roller coaster ride in 05 where he melted down in Denver, looked like Superman against Green Bay and Minny, and then laid an egg in Cleveland to end the season. I'm hardly a hater, and I really hope Kyle has turned the proverbial corner because it would be fantastic for this team. But like someone else said I don't want to rush Kyle back into a starting role until he has fully matured. Lets not mess this up twice.
Re: Who woulda "thunk": Billick OK with platooning QBs
I don't think we have a QB controversy just yet. Steve McNair is the starter. As pointed out he hasn't done anything outside of injury to lose the starting job. And let's be real, McNair was sharp on Sunday. So I think that in the mind of Billick, McNair is still the starter.
I think all this looks to next year. Boller gets playing time to continue to mature his on-field presense, and it helps McNair stay fresh and healthy so that when the playoffs roll around, we can rely on him being good to go. And then next year the Ravens can revisit the Boller starting thing. And then maybe we don't have to draft another project QB.
I don't think it's a controversy. I think it's a luxury. We have two capable starting QB's what we can interchange when needed. 95% of the NFL doesn't have that right now. A couple of teams do, and we're one of them. But McNair is the starter, he should remain the starter. Period.

I'm not really into questioning the relevance of our observance of Guy Fawkes' day. So its roots are dubious and it's of diminishing significance to many New Zealanders. Some people level the same criticisms at Easter and Christmas but there's no credible campaign to undermine these celebrations.
It's the unpredictability of when Guy Fawkes is celebrated that bothers me. If there was just one night a year when you knew you had to stay home with your pets and steel yourself for interrupted sleep it wouldn't be such a problem. But animal lovers nationwide are as enthusiastic about Guy Fawkes as turkeys are about the 25th December - mainly because there's no telling exactly when it starts and when it ends.
My Havelock North-based mother, who worries about the effect of fireworks on her dog, said: "There's 'Blast in the Park' on Saturday so that'll be bad - and they'll let off a few crackers on Sunday, too. Then Monday's the fifth so that'll be big and they're bound to have some leftover for Tuesday.
So that's four nights of hell for us."
Most pet owners dread Guy Fawkes. The SPCA warns that loud noises and bright flashes are upsetting to animals.
Evidently cats and dogs have more sensitive hearing than humans so they experience significant distress from firecrackers. "Stay home with your pet," "Keep them indoors" and "Stable horses where possible" is just some of the sage advice from the SPCA.
Concerned about the response of my daughter's pony to the sound of distant firecrackers, I saw in 2012 standing with her in the middle of a paddock. It wasn't the most memorable way to celebrate the New Year.
The Fire Service has a catchy introduction to its safety hints for Guy Fawkes: "Have fun. Be safe. It's not rocket science." It also advises that: "Fireworks and alcohol/drugs are a dangerous combination".
Gosh, I'd thought that fireworks and alcohol/drugs were an obligatory combination. I don't think I've ever been to a teetotal bonfire night. I'm old enough to remember bangers, tom thumbs and skyrockets before they were outlawed. I'm still partial to the odd sparkler or two yet I've developed a negative attitude towards fireworks of the noisy variety.
We've spent many Christmas holidays on the Coromandel. The occupants of the house two doors along from us always vigorously celebrate New Year's Eve with the lighting of many firecrackers. They're so excited about this event that for the seven days preceding (and often a few days following) they also let off a round of crackers each night at about 10pm - much to the chagrin of neighbours who have put their children to bed and would prefer that their beach holiday was not accompanied by the soundtrack of explosions.
If retail sales of fireworks aren't going to be banned, and fireworks confined just to public displays like they are in the rest of the civilised world, then at least permission to set them off should be restricted to just one or two days annually: Guy Fawkes and (maybe) New Year's Eve. Restricting the days of sale without introducing similar limitations as to when they may be lit is pretty much pointless.

Twitter Slips: Stock Reflecting Actual Value Post Lock-Up, Says Wunderlich
Shares of Twitter (TWTR) are down 28 cents, or 0.8%, at $32.49, after Wunderlich's Blake Harper raised his rating on the shares to Hold from Sell, but also cut his price target cut as well, to $35 from $38, writing that the stock, now down 50% this year, has fully priced in "valuation decline, passing of the lock up expiration, and likely lower monthly active users (MAU) growth projections."
The lockup, for one, has actually brought the stock more in line with its "true valuation," and the fall is not unlike those in past of LinkedIn (LNKD) and Yelp (YELP), which he rates Buys, or of Facebook (FB), which he doesn't formally cover:
TWTR's over-valuation and deflation could be attributed to the small float that the company had at its IPO, which created a situation of limited supply of shares (80 million) combined with strong investor demand. Following the lock-up expirations, trading volume has exploded and public capital has been forced to support a much larger percent of the market value of the company and more closely reflect the true market valuation [...] The stock is now down over 56% from its highs reached at the end of 2013, which are similar to the declines seen in LinkedIn (LNKD), Facebook (FB) and Yelp (YELP) following their post IPO highs. All of the above saw a post IPO pop, following by steep declines culminating around lock up expirations, then a consolidation phase before they began a more sustainable climb.
He sees little at the moment to change the growth rate of the service:
Our analysis of data from the company's public application programming interface (API) shows monthly active tweeting accounts were flat in April compared to March, which would imply that all MAU growth is coming from non-tweeting, consumption type of users for April. Given a range of assumptions, we expect total MAU growth should be in line with our estimate for 265-267 million MAUs for Q214.
Probably, there's little to move the stock on the horizon, as supply demand is in balance for the shares:
With no secondary offering on the horizon and the lock-up expiration passed, there is no major catalyst in the near term for the supply/demand of shares. The stock has hit technical support at $30 and we expect the upside to be limited in the near term given the realization that MAUs are not going to grow as fast as some originally thought, the larger float and the weak sentiment in the name, although upside from reported revenues, EBITDA and EPS should continue in Q2.

Great Job!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Great Job!!
You did a great job, keep up the good work.
Looks like you did a great job - better than my FMQ. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful job.
Good job - very pretty!
You did fabulous. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
You did a GREAT job. Mine does not look that good. Good for you. A little tip I learned from a friend. Practice on a whole cloth quilt that you whip up out of say muslin. Then when you are done with it you can requilt over it in different colored thread. Works for me.
Neat quilt! Great job on FMQ! My quilting is still pretty 'iffy'. (Meaning....IF you stand back far enough, it's okay!)

Kelly and Mannlake are the first to come to mind, look at their on line catalog.

There is an $8 mail-in rebate per super. Some suppliers don't honor it. We do, and will send the voucher with each order.

You need a very heavy flow. Requires almost daily management to remove rounds as they are finished and capped and to relocate frames. Remove as finished to keep the cappings pretty white. If you leave them they will turn yellow then dark brown. Not as attractive.
Best results by removing the queen so they can't swarm. They will attempt to make a queen, so, be prepared to remove capped queen cells for five or six days. When no cells are viable to make a queen you can let them work for a couple of weeks, then introduce a frame of uncapped brood so they can make a queen, or introduce a new queen to save the colony. At this point you can introduce more supers and let them finish capping.
Keep moving the uncapped rounds to the center for capping. Place foundation on the sides and move inward.
If they absolutely refuse to finish capping a round, remove it and replace with foundation and let them start over. If it just stays there, it will get capped, but it will become discolored as they walk on it.
Kelly Bee Co. sells everything needed to produce, package the rounds.
For me it was a novelty, but, too time consuming, so, I quit after two seasons. Gave all my Ross Round equipment away.
Ross is also a member of this forum & might be willing to send them to you direct.
Correction, usser
I suspect that retailers of Ross Rounds products would not be very happy if exceptions were made to the posted policy.We do not sell small quantities at retail, and do not have a retail location. We sell direct to dealers and commercial beekeepers; requests for quotations are invited.

I would really like someone to add positive comments like they are great if you want comb honey try ross rounds before I jump up and spend $100
Cut comb in regular frames is much easier. I and lots of other folks like Cleo have tried Rounds and quit. Mine sit on my shelf and my buddy gave me all of his rings/lids and I sold his frames and boxes for him on this site. They are nice when they work, but cut comb sells just as easily.
I'll throw in that we also carry Ross Rounds at Betterbee.
The pieces (foundation, rings, covers, labels) can be ordered separately as well as in a kit. The $8 rebate coupon comes packed in the box and is fulfilled by the Ross Round company.
As for using them, I did for a few years prior to buying Betterbee. It was fairly easy and mess free to produce some very nice looking comb sections with them. With these, you avoid those unfilled corners that the square ones tend to have if things aren't perfect. I stopped because my customers thought they were cute, but not cute enough to open the wallet and buy them. They liked honey in glass jars and that was about it. Perhaps that is some lack of education on my part, perhaps that is the customer base. People come to Betterbee asking for comb honey. We plan to have it available this summer.
Chris Cripps
I am going to try them this year. I have read that the cut comb can be easier, but I don't like the idea of having slabs draining and laying around; What appeals to me is what looks like a cleaner final package. I have made a few boxes to fit my 5 frame equipment and will see how that works. http://s1110.beta.photobucket.com/us...da6ce.jpg.html
The super for the rounds is quite fussy to make. The margin of error in making the frame rests is small because the "ears" on the frames are so short.
I did contemplate trying the wooden sections that Kelley makes as I understand they also don't need much clean-up afterwards, but I couldn't comprehend exactly how they fit into the boxes despite Roland's efforts at explaining them to me; I won't rule them out in the future if I can't get the hang of Ross Rounds. The reason I made a couple for the 5 frame equipment size is that I have seen such productivity in these boxes I figured it was worth a try and winter is long and cold and the right time for woodworking.
flyingbrass.... Could I suggest you go on CraigsList and post, "Wanted to Buy, Ross Round Equipment". Might also check local bee club, see if anyone has some excess equipment you could buy a small qty.
I didn't mean to scare or discourage you away from trying the Ross Round System. It does indeed make some beautiful comb honey if you tend it properly, and if you have a good market for it, it will make more clear money than extracted honey, but, it is more time consuming, bees fail to capp several rounds each year. Those uncapped, I simply cut out the uncapped portion and crush and strain what has been capped.
If you have the time, try it. See what happens.
Ross Rounds are much like making Comb honey in quart, 1/2 gal. and gallon jars, where the bees make the comb inside the jars. That is also nice, but, time consuming, and every jar does not necessarily work. Neither was right for me, but, that doesn't mean it won't be right for you.
Good Luck.

This Morning: AAPL Targets Up and Down, STX Slips, Bloodbath for BRCM
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Dell (DELL) are up 18 cents, or 1.5%, at $13.06, as CEO Mike Dell raised his bid to take the company private by a dime to $13.75, and also requested a change in the voting rules that would make approval easier.
CNBC's David Faber said he's heard that the special committee will not agree to change the voting terms for the additional dime. A vote that had been scheduled for today has been put off until August 2nd.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $19.86, or almost 5%, at $438.85, after the company last night beat fiscal Q3 expectations, based on a much higher number of iPhones sold and offered a lower-than-expected revenue view.
In the follow-up call, analysts peppered the company with questions about weaker iPad numbers and about gross margin.
The stock has gotten a mostly favorable reaction this morning, with a number of price target increases and an upgrade to Buy from Hold by BMO Capital's Keith Bachman, but also a price target cut by Merrill Lynch's Scott Craig to $500 from $540, and a cut by Stifel Nicolaus's Aaron Rakers to $540 from $600.
Bachman, raising his rating to Outperform from Market Perform, but keeping his price target at $480, writes that "The most important metric for us was that consolidated gross margins were guided to 36%-37%, even with new products being introduced in the September quarter."
"While we still have some concerns about December-quarter margins, we believe that the September-quarter gross margin guidance plausibly supports our view that the new mid-range iPhone will be in the ~$450 price range with approximately 38% to 40% gross margins."
Shares of ARM Holdings (ARMH) are down 49 cents, or 1%, at $41.36, after the company this morning reported Q2 revenue of £171 million and EPS of 5 pence, compared to consensus for £166 million and 5 pence.
Piper Jaffray's Gus Richard, reiterating an Overweight rating and a $44 price target, writes that both licensing and royalty sides of the business were strong. He thinks there are "concerns regarding the strength of the high-end smartphone market," but that the royalty rate will continue to tick up going forward.
Shares of Seagate (STX) are off $2.49, or almost 6%, at $42.82, after the company this morning reported slightly-higher-than-expected fiscal Q4 results of $3.43 billion and $1.20 versus consensus of $3.42 billion and $1.19. and forecast revenue of $3.5 billion to $3.6 billion this quarter, in line with consensus for $3.55 billion.
Richard Kugele of Needham & Co., who has a Buy on the stock and a $51 price target, writes this morning that the forecast is positive, and "We continue to expect a solid performance out of WD [Western Digital (WDC)] tonight and would be buyers of both names on any weakness today."
Shares of EMC (EMC) are up $1.56, or 6%, at $26.89, after the company this morning reported Q2 revenue of $5.61 billion, slightly below consensus of $5.62 billion, but met the average 42-cent EPS estimate, and reaffirmed a year forecast of $1.85 billion to $1.86 billion.
EMC is also riding the surge in VMware (VMW), of which it is the majority owner. VMware shares are up $10.12, or 14%, at $81.40 after the company last night beat Q2 expectations and offered a better-than-expected year view. Price targets are rising and the stock got two upgrades this morning, from Raymond James's Michael Turits and Nomura Equity Research's Rick Sherlund.
Turits, raising his rating on the shares, writes "Strong ELA renewals and accelerating growth in the quarter and in the 2H forecast suggest private cloud management is playing out. Following a company realignment and divestiture of non-infrastructure businesses, VMware appears more focused on the cloud management opportunity."
Shares of AT&T (T) are down 72 cents, or 2%, at $35.09, after the company last night beat Q2 revenue expectations but missed on the bottom line.
Nomura's Mike McCormack, while reiterating a Buy rating on the shares this morning, and a $38 price target, writes of the 1-point miss in Ebitda margin, "We are concerned by AT&T's decision to prioritize volumes over margin in the near term, particularly in Wireless, and wait to see if competition levels continue to rise."
Shares of Broadcom (BRCM) are down $3.86, or 12%, to $27.97, after the company last night missed Q2 expectations and offered a lower-than-expected Q3 view.
The stock gets six downgrades this morning. RBC Capital's Doug Freedman, cutting his rating to Sector Perform from Outperform, and cutting his price target to $31 from $45, writes that "We previously viewed BRCM as a name that is poised to exhibit above-peer growth […] To us, it now appears that BRCM's Mobile & Wireless roadmap will undergo challenges including the push out and subsequent sales of its LTE SoC roadmap, which is at risk to be late to market vs. newer competitors (i.e. MRVL, INTC)."

So I received my February 2013 American Bee Journal in the mail this weekend and noticed I am up for renewal. I thought, I would read through this copy and make my decision whether to renew or not once it is read. As I was reading my way through I noticed the following article: Bayer Bee Care Center Helps Solve Bee Healths Toughest Challenges on page 118. I was a bit taken aback by this and thought .now, now read through the article and I might find there is no need to be so cynical.
Having finished reading very carefully I am totally dumb struck! Here is a renowned Bee Keeping Supply and Magazine company, steeped in a history of advocacy of bee keeping, printing an extremely pro Bayer article about all the remarkable wonderful things Bayer is doing for the betterment of our bees as well as our earth with their LEEDS campus.
Did I not read recently about a Bayer company launching many products with chemicals which are clearly lethal to honey bees yet they stated honey bees were not affected by their chemicals at all and our own government being mixed up in this mess passing along similar lies. Then an independent testing lab proved the original testing by Bayer was faulty and skewed to attain the results they were looking for. Soon after all this I heard Bayer purchased the lab and lo and behold no more information on the subject was forth coming. Now this wonderful project by Bayer Is this just a Puritan soul cleansing event where Bayer funds a token project and everyone forgets the devastation they have created in their years and simply remembers this event and thinks what a wonderful company
Well; I remember! Good luck Bayer and American Bee Journal. I will make sure my money goes in a more appropriate direction .

Bend home prices finally on the upswing
Rising at 2X U.S. rate in one of U.S. 'Best Ski Towns'
BEND, Ore. - Great news about your property value. Home prices in Bend rose by 13.7 percent in October from a year ago, Core Logic reported Tuesday.
That's more than twice the national rate of 6.3 percent -- which was the biggest home price rise nationally in over six years, since June 2006.
And as you might expect, more homes are popping up in several Bend neighborhoods.
"The CoreLogic report is great news for Bend in general and the housing market overall," said Cascade Sotheby's International Realty Principal Broker Ken Renner.
Bend's home prices were up 1.9 percent in October from a month earlier, according to CoreLogic, a residential property information provider.
Bend's housing market was one of the hardest hit by the recession five years ago.
It wasn't until recently that Bend hit the bottom of the market inventory, in December 2011 and January 2012.
"We really started to see more movement and an uptick in building at that time," Renner said. "And it's going to continue to accelerate."
That also means folks in the home construction business going back to work.
"Big trucks are rolling, lumber trucks are rolling -- haven't seen this in five years," Renner said.
Renner says it's going to take a little bit of time for builders to get more inventory and overall get the market back to a healthy level.
"We don't want to stay at this level of low inventory, because we've had the reverse problem for five years," Renner said.
"Now it's getting hard to find buyers good quality properties in a reasonable amount of time."
Realtors hope to see housing inventory numbers somewhere between five and seven months' worth, which they say will give them good buyer/seller parity.
"Both sides have a really good opportunity to do what they want to do," Renner said. "Sell at a fair price and buy at a fair price."
With rising home prices, Bend is on the upswing. It doesn't hurt that the city continues to get placement in national lists, such as Travel and Leisure magazine calling Bend No. 3 among the nation's "Best Ski Towns."
"Great news for the broader economy," Renner said of the housing rebound. "Great news for Realtors and contractors and everybody who benefits from a strong housing market."
Renner also said both Bend and Redmond seem to be trending on similar lines, as both housing markets seem to be improving.
Second home markets like Black Butte Ranch and Eagle Crest are trailing a little.

The second in a series of storm fronts arrived Thursday morning, prompting flood warnings for the Navarro River and a flood watch for inland Mendocino County by the National Weather Service.
The Little Lake Fire Department checked and rechecked its swift water rescue trailer and coordinated coverage with the Laytonville Fire Department to prepare.
Even before the rains came, at 7 a.m. Thursday there was a single-vehicle rollover accident on Highway 101 near Schow Road, north of Willits. The unidentified driver suffered "significant" leg injuries and was taken to Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital for treatment.
The rains arrived in the Willits area around noon Thursday.
The NWS predicts the storms will arrive in waves. Once one clears out there will likely be a short lull, with scattered showers in the region between fronts. By late Sunday, the bulk of the storms should have pushed east of the region.
As much as seven inches of rain is possible for the Willits area from Thursday through Sunday. The forecast estimated the bulk of the rain would fall Thursday and Thursday night. Rainfall totals for both Friday and Saturday are estimated at one inch or less each day.
Gusty winds are expected to remain part of the forecast through Sunday. The NWS is recommending motorists avoid unnecessary travel during this period due to the likelihood of downed trees and ponding water on the roadways.
Downed trees likely will produce power outages, too, so residents are being urged to prepare for this possibility. While PG&E has storm crews on alert, the widespread nature of the storms may mean extended outages for some areas.
Temperatures through Sunday are predicted to remain in the mid-40s at night and mid-50s during the day.
The current weather models show another storm front developing along the coast Tuesday morning, although this one is expected to affect areas north of Willits.

Intellectual Property Rights
On August 2, 2002, the Office of the Attorney General filed an amicus brief in DVD Copy Control, Inc. v. Bunner. The issue presented in this case now before the California Supreme Court is whether a preliminary injunction issued under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA) may, consistent with the freedom of speech clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, prohibit the posting of a decryption program (DeCSS) on the Internet. This computer program breaks an encryption code (CSS) placed on DVDs. The decryption program allows for the unauthorized copying and viewing of DVDs. The decryption code contains CSS which plaintiffs contend is a trade secret that was unlawfully misappropriated by a third party. The Attorney General's amicus brief argues that the trial court correctly determined that plaintiff had established the requisite elements for an injunction under the UTSA and, more specifically, that the status of the trade secret had not been destroyed due to its publication on the Internet, and that the act of creating DeCSS is not a form of reverse engineering that the UTSA exempts from its coverage. The brief also argues that the injunction prohibiting publication of DeCSS on the Internet should be reviewed under an intermediate scrutiny standard because the unique properties of computer code make DeCSS "mixed" speech with functional and expressive elements, and that the injunction withstands intermediate scrutiny because of the significant governmental interests in protecting trade secrets and combating content piracy. On May 29, 2003, Attorney General Lockyer personally appeared before the Court and presented oral argument. On August 25, 2003, the California Supreme Court, in a unanimous opinion, agreed with the Attorney General's position and held that injunctions may be issued under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act to prohibit the positing of trade secrets on the Internet without violating the First Amendment.
