LAKE ARTHUR — Fearing that levees holding back the rain-swollen Mermentau River would fail, officials have called for a voluntary evacuation of Lake Arthur and set a mandatory curfew.
"The biggest thing I can do now is ask everyone to be prepared right now," Mayor Robbie Bertrand told more than 500 people attending an emergency town hall meeting Saturday.
Bertrand and parish and state officials called for a voluntary evacuation of the town and issued a mandatory curfew of 10 p.m.-6 a.m. as a levee breach threatens areas along the Mermentau River. People are also warned not to sightsee.
"To say who will be impacted and how bad it will be is hard to say," he said. "Let's all hope this isn't as bad as it could be. We haven't seen anything like this in a long time, but we know from the past what can happen."
The lake is 4-6 inches from breaching the levees — which is more water than the town saw during Hurricane Rita, Bertrand said.
He said the town has received a tremendous amount of rain, including an additional foot Friday night.
"The town and Broadmore Gravity Drainage District is doing all it can to keep the water out of the town," he said.
He said officials will continue to pump as long as they can to try to keep the streets open, homes safe and the sewer system working.
Town crews have also been working to clear culverts and dig out ditches.
Sandbags have been placed in areas to try to keep the water out, and pumps have been running almost continuously since the rain began last Monday, filling area waterways and ditches.
At least one home on McClure Street reported water inside as of Saturday, and the residents had been evacuated, Police Chief Cheryl Vincent said.
"Right now our flood control structures are high and dry, but the concern is that the Mermentau River hasn't crested yet," he said.
The upper level of the Mermentau River is expected to crest at 9.5 feet today, Jonathan Brazzell of the National Weather Service said. The crest forecast will be similar to the flood of 1972, but higher than 2004, he said.
"We could see a half a foot to another foot of water in the lake, and that's a problem in town and for our three main drainage arteries," he said.
The backwaters will also create problems for the town's sewer system, flood streets and threaten some homes, he said.
On Saturday, he urged residents to raise or move their furniture, place sandbags around doors and seek shelter from friends and family.
Self-fill sandbags are available at the Lake Arthur Police Department. Sand is available at the Community Center on Eighth Street and the small ballpark next to Lake Arthur Park. The limit is 20 bags per person.
Sheriff Ivy Woods and U.S. Coast Guard officials said a safety zone has been implemented to restrict boat traffic from the Intracoastal Waterway to the La. 14 bridge. Boat traffic is also restricted parishwide, including on the Mermentau River and Lacassine Bayou.

Beause of change of centre of rotation after changing foot.
Beause of change of centre of rotation after changing foot.
Hello All! I am writing this in Lake Placid.
I still can't believe that I watched Evan and Yuna live and GOT BOTH OF THEIR AUTOGRAPHS!!! WOO HOO!!!
Ok. Let's get to the point.
As I was going through the thread, I realized that many of you question whether Yuna's score was inflated and that whether she deserved to even win.
I attended Yuna's official practice sessions, and on Saturday, she fell twice or so. Everyone was worried that she was either in a bad condition or she couldn't get used to the ice. Luckily she pulled through 007, but she really fell hard during the LP.... I guess it was kinda predictable that she was not in her best condition. However, her sp was just incredible... she clearly separated herself from the other skaters. (Not to mention how beautiful she was with her long slim legs and arms... she would smile at the audience during the performance, and it was just breathtakingly pretty!) She is in a class of her own. You just have to see it youself to believe it.
Yes, Rachael did a very good job in her LP, but can her perfect program match with Yuna's clean performance? No, absolutely not.
Rachael is shorter than Yuna (or it seems), and she is much much
slower than Yuna. When she does her triples, she does not go into the jump with as much speed as Yuna, and also the jumping height cannot match with Yuna's either. Moreover, many people criticize Yuna's spiral for her "ugly" foot and leg position, but you really don't feel that way when you see it. Yuna's spiral was by far the most impressive spiral of the competition. It is FAST, and she literally covers the entire ice.... NO ONE at the competition did anything like that, and everyone was clapping and cheering Yuna in amazement. In comparison, Rachael's spiral looked even less flexible and
both Rachael and Suguri's spiral sequences are really slow. (I thought Suguri was gonna stop in the middle of the ice)
In the end, I think the only ways to beat Yuna is 1) Yuna does really really bad and messes up BOTH her sp and LP or 2) A skater who can match with Yuna's speed and jumping height and better flexibility does a clean performance.
Because the audiences witnessed Yuna's incredible SP, no one that I knew or sat with (many of them were old skating fans) doubted Yuna's victory. All I heard was, "Oh she was fantastic last night, it is too bad she fell today."

Great report and very believable. Rachael is estimable. Yuna is amazing.
So far, ladies GP series have been rather underwhelming as a competition. SA may be the most. I hope that things go better at SC, final, and the Olympics. I am hoping that all the top ladies put it together.
I wonder how on earth will I watch Yuna's FS? it is the only one that is not up on youtube.
Her english has improved so much!
I published a link some time ago But there is new one and better.
"My program today was just terrible", but she looks funny talking about this. That's Yuna
For some weird reason, the CoP does not want to acknowledge the difficulty in executing elements in both directions. It interfere's with their scoring system, yet John Curry when auditioning skaters for his shows insisted that the cast be able to spin both ways. So the diffiulty winds up in show skating - not in the Sport. You figure.
Thank you for your post, figurejennah.
CoP has made much of figure skating unwatchable for me, as it has hurt the artistic aspect of the sport so much. Yu-Na is a skater whom I always look forward to watching, because she is able to create beauty on the ice while satisfying the point-accumulating nature of CoP with technical excellence. I believe that she is under tremendous pressure, because she is so good at what she does. No one can score 100% in an academic exam every time, for example, without realizing that there is nowhere to go but down, and the fear can grow and grow. Sometimes it is good to do less well, and find out that it is not the end of the world, after all. The live audience, I think, showed her that she was just as loved and appreciated as she had been the day before
Thanks figurejennah! That was a much needed account .
Btw, watching Yuna cover her eyes before her scores was kind of cute/funny.
i am sorry but i didn't watch it on tv, skate america why- i knew who would come in first in all disciplines.
so i watch part on youtube.
to tell the truth- i was going to nitpick rachel scores to see who/if they cheated for her. But I was impressed she skated well.
the only problem i have is with maybe her lutz takeoff,maybe a warning call. she switch edges, and her triple. double, double i would have downgraded mom thought the triple after that.should have been downgraded also, because she looked tired and her jumps and the rest of program fell flat. But she did skate good, i can see why they gave her that score > me probably a 113.
I have a question in the USA Today paper Tom mentioned a skater reaches maximum potential at the 1 1/2 minute mark and it is down from there.
Does all skaters train for 1 1/2 min and rely rest on leftovers or do some condition their bodies for more than that.
to me is seems that is the problem with rachel she is good for the first minute and half and after that her speed and artistry lacks, if she is conditioned for more than that minute and half maybe she would be more of a threat--
yu-na i hope skates better-but she seemed her concentration left after her first jumping pass. yu- probable a 108-111.

The vineyards are located in a spectacular setting, at an elevation of 350 metres, situated at the base of the 540 metre cliff face of Mount Langi Ghiran. Directly opposite is the Mount Cole state forest positioning the vineyards within a 30km valley. In 1996 the winery purchased another property on the well protected northern slope of Mount Langi Ghiran which is known as the "Hollows Vineyard". Together with the original vineyards the total area under vine is 225 acres.
The original vineyards were planted in the 1870's when European immigrants traveled to Western Victoria to discover gold. Bringing vines with them from the old country they went about working the rich fertile land of the Western district, creating some of Australia oldest vineyards. The vines were replaced by sheep at the turn of the century, however the site was re established in 1963 by Italian immigrants the Fratin brothers. Their first plantings were the Swiss Clone Shiraz, taken from the 140 year old nursery block in Great Western. They soon discovered that with the unique mix of Mount Langi Ghirans environment they were producing a spicy, pepper complex wine we now know as "Langi Shiraz".
The vineyards of Mount Langi Ghiran are nestled between two dramaticlly beautiful mountain ranges on the southern end of the Great Dividing Range in the Grampians region of Western Victoria. The cool climate of Mount Langi Ghiran is unique for growing wine in Australia, and the Shiraz vines like to take their time to ripen and develop their spicy, peppery flavors making Langi one of the last vineyards to be harvested in Victoria. The vines are elevated but also sit between lofty mountains, this creates a cooling effect particularly in Autumn during ripening, as cold air tumbles down the mountains and flows through the valley at night. Another effect of the mountains is the shadowing of the vineyards before days end thus shortening the effective sunshine hours. These climatic effects are unique to Langi and explain why particularly the Shiraz harvest is late, but more importantly they are significant in producing the benchmark characteristics of Langi Shiraz.

Ordering my 6" NTD lift kit from Rough Country, 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers, dual (cat-back) exhaust, intake, tonneau, new pitman and idler arm, changing out CV Axles, and a bunch of other mods! I bought my 1999 1500 as a birthday present to myself over two years ago and kept saying, "Yeah, I'm gonna do this and that" well now no more talking. Time to lift her and make her look good. I got current photos in my profile, but after I get everything delivered and as I do mods I'll post new pictures to this thread.

An airline's move to have passengers pay according to their weight, rather than for a seat, has brought mixed reaction.
The Herald received dozens of emails and messages after a story about Samoa Air charging passengers by their weight.
An online unscientific poll on the Herald's website drew in more than 17,700 votes by last night and the majority of people supported the airline's new concept.
A total of 66 per cent said yes, it should be a policy at all airlines.
Up to 15 per cent said maybe - but only for a small fee - while 19 per cent of voters said no, the policy was discrimination.
Samoan community leader Teleiai Edwin Puni, based in Auckland, said Samoans had differing views.
Mr Puni, also a boxing promoter, weighs 200kg. He said he often travelled between Samoa and American Samoa for various events and would most likely avoid travelling on Samoa Air.
"Pay by weight is a bad business decision. Many people, including tourists, will find the new payment system excessive and will seek alternative travel, like catching the ferry to Savaii instead."
The airline's new policy was also the hot talk-back topic on Auckland-based station Radio Samoa.
A number of callers praised the move, saying it was a good way to get overweight people to take a hard look at themselves.
The majority of callers, however, felt the policy went too far and was insulting to Samoans.
One man said: "It's like [the airline] is telling the world that all Samoans are fat."
The rates start from 1 tala (51c) a kilogram on the airline's shortest domestic flight, to 3.8 tala ($1.97) a kilogram for travel between Samoa and American Samoa.
A spokesman for Samoa Air told the Herald that the airline had received mixed feedback from customers. Most of it had been positive and locals did not have any major issues, he said.
"I got one email [Tuesday] afternoon, from someone who didn't like the idea. But we haven't had any major complaints. People are being quite light about it all."
People who wanted to make a booking online were required to estimate their weight so their fare could be determined. Passengers were, however, weighed when they arrived at the terminal.
The spokesman said although the scheme had shed a light on the issue of obesity, the airline had not initially come up with the policy in a bid to fight obesity.
Pay by weight
(Based on travel between Samoa and American Samoa. Rate: 3.8 tala ($1.97) ).
* Former All Black Ne'emia Tialata: 136kg = 516.8 tala (($267.59)).
*Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (pictured): 120kg = 456 tala ($236.10).
*All Black Jerome Kaino: 113kg = 429.40 tala ($222.32).
*Breakers player Alex Pledger: 115kg = 437 tala ($226.26).

I, like Mark, do not consider my operation to be "treatment-free," so I did not vote. I would like to point out, however, that integrated pest management (IPM) is generally defined with categories of control methods: mechanical control, cultural control, chemical control, biological control. For the purposes of IPM, "manipulations" of a system for the purposes of effecting control over a pest is considered a "treatment."
If you follow strict IPM definitions, everything suggested is a "treatment."
If by "treatment-free," you mean "no chemical applications made," the method is open to debate.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Kensington -- Your blocks look great and I love the colors.
No need to send other fabrics...everyone sends the fat 1/8th and it's up to the receiver to use their fabric to make the rest of the block with. That way everyone has the same amount to work with and everyone sends out the same amount.
I LOVED when I got a note attached that indicated --
What color scheme they were heading for (some only wanted "whites / creams or certain colors used in their blocks -- I asked to use just the colors in the fabric-- nothing clashing) or if it was a truly an "up to you".
Top to be used for (Male, Female, Child, Teen, Charity, etc)...helped to decide on block to make -- Didn't want to send a "kitty" for a tough guy
The notes that includes their full name, board name and mailing address were even better in case the envelope got separated.
You'll love the spreadsheet that April sends with your names -- it has everything you need to track your progress! I also took pictures of the fabrics and put them in the list too as an easy reference for me (but I'm weird) along with pictures of the blocks I made for them and the blocks I received from them.

Howdies from Possum Trot (yes it does exist)
My most recent swap - Boomerang 16
I thought I had posted on here. But, I can't find it. I am in for a small group. I just got out of the hospital with stomach inflamation and a urinary tract infection. I am glad to be home.
I love your practice blocks Kensington, they are very nice! I made a lap quilt with my practice blocks, but I always have a few blocks waiting to be made into a quilt top.
I really like the letters with the F8, it helps tell you a little about who you are swapping with and what they would like. And adding a address label to your finished block really helps too.
Give a smile away today, someone you meet might need one!
very nice blocks. you will enjoy this swap. I go thru my books as I open an envelope and find what I feel matches the fabric they sent and then find the fabric to coordinate with theirs(the best that I can). I love getting notes from people, even tho I don't tend to do that. I don't usually make the same block twice unless I am getting behind and want to push a few out. I love this swap and can't wait to start again.
Beautiful practice blocks! I am working through more PMs now
"Changing IHave to IHad"
Boom 9 Blocks I have made : http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18057.html
April, was thinking of you today while listening to an old Kenny Loggins song Isabella's Eyes. I almost named my little girl Isabella. It came down to that or Genavieve and her dad went for the traditional more I guess. I think they are both beautiful names and from the pic, both are beautiful girls too. Only mine is a tad larger by a whole bunch of years. She turns 21 in just over a week. College, Army, Culinary school.. look what you have to look forward too. Start selling those quilts NOW kids are expensive!
Kensington, your quilt blocks are very beautiful. Soothing colors. Love it!
oh yeah and April, thanks for doing all this I imagine matching partners is a bit harder too. Do you randomly pick groups or do you do it by skill levels? curiosity makes me ask. A crazy job maintaining all that without going nuts.
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.

excellent sol, thanks for the report, and good luck with the resurrected hive.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Starting with packages is fine, long as it's done right. Less skill is needed for nucs, because they are a fully set up hive with their own dynamics and brood to hold them together etc, it's just a case of putting them in a new box. But with packages, they are a "loose coalition" of bees, who will have no problem drifting to the hive next door.
So experienced beekeepers will try to install packages in such a way as to minimise drifting. For a small hobbyist that can be done by sprinkling the bees with a little water before dumping them in the hive, hives not too close to each other, and doing it late in the day. If you can, putting a frame of brood in with the package will hugely help stabilise the hive.
From a treatment free perspective, packages, rather than nucs, are the way to go. Because packages come with bees only, and no comb. Comb that comes with nucs is often of unknown history, ie what it could be harbouring in the way of viruses and past residual treatments.
Another thought, don't know how many packages you are planning on, but the most risky time in terms of queen survival is during and immediately after the install. As the queens that come with the packages are somewhat sacrificial, but your "survivor" queens will not be, a suggestion could be to start the packages with the queens they come with, that way if any are lost it's the ones you didn't really want anyway. Give the packages perhaps 3 weeks to get stabilized, and then introduce the survivor queens. If any packages did not make it because the bees drifted to other hives, those hives could be split at that time, meaning you get back to the origional number of hives you wanted to achieve.
Just my 2 cents.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Hello from Pittsburg Kansas,
Well I just started keeping Bees last summer and have read a bunch of books, reasearched the internet and downloaded podcasts. I still get confused, so anywahy here is my Question.
History of the bees: Home Yard
Purchased 5 nucs from a man 40 miles from me when i attended his bee class. He promoted chemical treatmeants, After reasearching i decided to not treat the bees and did not. They seem to be doing great.
History of the bees: 560 Yard
Did a cut out on hive 1 and hive 2 was a trap out, I ended up letting the bees requeen do to failure of the trap out queen. Hive 1 is doing great and about soccer ball size as of today with all the honey stores in the deep broad box above them. Hive 2 has was combined with a have that went queenless in the home yard and is very small but has several pounds of honey stored above the brood box.
Question- Home Yard-I have on Deep 10 frame and a meduim super on top.
Most of the hives seemed to weight about 25-30lbs(total heft) and had alot of healthy bees. When or should a feed these? They seemed light. One was really good and had a full meduim super and honey in the brood box. I just dont want the others to starve.
PS: I regressed these striaght to 4.95 and did not treat. The nucs came from treated large cell bees, they are now alot smaller.
Question 2-560 Yard- There are 2 Hives, the two hives one a removal and the other a trap out. Hive one had a good size circle of bees and the top deep brood box was still full of honey(two 10 frame deeps is the hive structure). Hive 2 had the same as one except there were not very many bees. Again, Do i need to feed or what are your thoughts.
Any help is appreciacted. Thanks
My general rule regarding when to feed in the middle of winter is this: If when I open the hive and look down on the cluster (easier to do at night with a flashlight) I can see capped honey, then they probably don't need to be fed yet. There is a crucial difference between our locations in which your bees will likely need more honey to make it back around to flowers.
You'll ultimately have to make the determination. But if they're not going to starve, there's no reason to feed them. If they are going to starve, why? If it's your fault, make amends. If it's their fault, either let them go or put them on the requeening list. The more you do this, the more these decisions will come automatically. I wish you success.
What if it's an unnaturally harsh environments fault?

Ok, that said:
The bees were in the brood box below the honey super on some of hives. Will the move into the honey? If it is cold, can the move up into the honey or should I center the frames after awhile.
Also the ones that are lite and only have a couple frames of honey in the super, should I steel some frames from the strong hive with a full super?
One more: the size of the hives are about a soccer ball, I presume that is good. with a flower around April 15, what should the hive weight at his point in the winter cycle. I am only 2.5 hours North of Fayetteville.
Thanks for the response!
Soccer ball is okay. The hives most adapted to this area tend to keep clusters somewhere between a child's soccer ball and an adult soccer ball. They are very frugal with stores. Other queens that I've imported do other things, but that's what the bees do locally.
Bobcat,I don't know your area but based on the flowering timetable you've mentioned, it is the exact reverse (6 months out) of an area I used to work in my country.
Feed stores wise, we used to winter the hives down with the equivalent of 6 full deep frames of honey. Not much of that was eaten through winter but it's mostly eaten once spring brood raising starts. We did a spring round where we checked food stores and the occasional hive would need some more food, but 6 combs worked for most.
Hives that don't have enough, and to my mind 2 frames are not enough in the flowering scenario you have mentioned, have 2 options. Cut brood raising drastically and be a very small weak hive at the start of flowering, or some strains will just raise heaps of brood anyway and then run out of honey and starve. Obviously neither is a good option.
What you should be doing this spring is observing what the bees reasonably use, and then armed with this knowledge, ensure you leave each hive with this amount in fall. This spring will be a good time for you to find this out. You will be a better and more confident beekeeper when you have discovered the feed requirements for your sites and can leave each hive with the correct amount in fall and state with confidence they have the right amount, barring unusual weather conditions in spring, which you would deal with at the time.
Sol, a question. You stated you have never lost a hive to starvation. Elsewhere you have said you don't lose hives to mites. I'm curious about the hives you lose, what is it to?
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Hello from Connecticut! First winter, only one hive. Started with a nuc in May which went on to do great from my beginners perspective. I took 63 lbs of honey and they went into the winter with 2 deeps as full as can be.
I did some powdered sugar tests for mite counts and they were always low so I decided not to treat with mite away quick strips as I had been instructed too.
Quick inspection yesterday, all seems well. Bees covering all 10 frames when I opened it up. Should I pull frames to check and disrupt the hive or just leave them alone?
I also scraped out a bunch of dead bees from the bottom board, 75 or so, and counted about 20 dead mites in the mix. (This was the first time I've check them since the beginning of Dec.)
Can I, should I dust them with powdered sugar during the winter to dislodge more mites?
Bad Charlie
There's three ways to do everything...the wrong way, the right way, a better way.
Any other questions?
Treatment free queen sources. It would be nice to have reports on who you guys buy from and how they did.
Dan Hayden 5 Years. 10 hives. Tx Free. USDA Zone 5b.
do you use any particular hive configuration sol? how many boxes do you overwinter established coloniesi in, and how much honey do you leave in the fall?
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
The only queens I have bought in the last several years were from Zia Queenbee. Most of them were good, some very mean, some kind of mean, few gentle.
My typical hive configuration is 5 deeps with upper and lower entrances, no queen excluders. However, I am slowly switching to mediums which means 5 deeps will be replaced by 7-8 mediums eventually.
I harvest in June and leave all honey collected from then on. Usually hives lose weight over the summer. Some die. Lately I have had more summer dead outs than winter.
I just added a number of these questions and answers to my FAQ page on my website. http://parkerfarms.biz/FAQ.html
If there are any more questions, I am still eager to answer them.
Solomon: Why do bees make holes in some of their combs? They look to be intentional, as in rather uniform in size, clean edges, no leaking honey, etc.
Also, I ordered and received a top bar hive that has to be assembled. Is it okay to use some wood glue here and there as long as I give it plenty of time for the fumes to dissipate before bee installation?
We like to think of combs as nice straight and neat. Bees have no such concern. They will build comb in some very interesting shapes. Our frames and hives attempt to cause them to build comb how we want it with varying degrees of success. As far as why they build holes, I don't know. I had the idea to drill some holes in plastic frames, but was told they will fill in the holes just as often as not. This is one thing I wish we understood better to give them the best opportunity, but we don't know for sure yet.
I see no reason why not to use wood glue. I use Tite-Bond III on all my boxes. It's much cheaper by the gallon if you use it in any volume. I wasn't aware wood glue had all that many fumes to speak of.
Titebond II and Titebond III are considered food-safe for use in making kitchen cutting boards.
Are Titebond Glues safe to use?
All of our Titebond wood glues are safe to use and produce no harmful fumes. They meet the requirements of ASTM D4236 for safe use with arts and crafts. Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue and Titebond II Premium Wood Glue have both been approved for indirect food contact. For this reason, it is the glue that we recommend for making cutting boards. We do recommend wearing gloves when working with the Titebond Polyurethane Glue because repeated use of the product with bare hands could lead to a sensitivity to those types of products.

Make a list. I chose 11 because of the number of guys on the field. Feel free to add any notes or thoughts to it. I'm just curious to see what you guys think.
1) Jason Pierre-Paul-DE JPP has been very solid in all aspects. He struggled a bit against Washington the other night, but other than that he is solid.
2) Prince Amukamara-CB The second year guy may be the most valuable defensive player this year for us. At a thin corner position, he stepped and has provided great coverage for us. One area for improvement though would be tackling.j
3) Steve Brown-S This one was a tough choice. But I chose Stevie because of his game changing plays this year. I noticed him struggling in pass coverage often, but not many guys have stood out. He gets this spot because of his playmaking ability which we have seen.
4) Michael Boley-OLB Boley has been good against the run, although he seems to always have a hard time covering TEs. I like him better at his natural position of weakside as he has more ground to cover against the run and doesn't get matched up against tight ends. He's played both sides of the field this year.
5) Antrel Rolle-S Rolle has shown versatility this year. Playing at both safety spots as well as at nickel corner. He is good against the run and could blow up a play in the backfield. In pass coverage, I like him better in the zone playing closer to the box (i.e. SS, nickelback).
6) Chase Blackburn-MLB Blackburn has been a great story. His leadership and passion are unparalleled by most. He's used his instincts to make some big plays, but he hasn't been consistently making all of his tackles.
7) Linval Joseph-DT Linval is very strong and takes on the double team most of the time. He hustles to make a play even when it gets past the front seven and into the safeties. He's been good in the pass rush as well. My one concern with him is his run defense.
8) Justin Tuck-DE Tuck has struggled more often than not this year. But there have been a few games, mostly recently, where he's looked like the old Tuck in the pass rush.
9) Chris Canty-DT I know Canty missed most of the first half of the year, but I've liked his play since he was activated from the PUP list. He's always a force in the pass rush and he's a good run defender. He's also one of the more athletic guys at the DT positions.
10) Corey Webster-CB Webster is definitely going downhill. He's given up a lot of receptions and seems to be reacting slow every time a receiver makes a cut or a double move on him. At this point, I prefer him in zone coverage so he doesn't have to follow a man step for step down the field.
11) Osi Umenyiora-DE Early in the year, Osi was anemic. He had no pass rush, and always looked confused out there. But there have been those games where he's come alive. But Osi's struggles definitely outweigh his good performances.

How to prepare the "Human OS" for a malware scan???
Well the biggest questions over here are:
1) Though AVs, firewalls and IDSs keep the networks perimetere secure, how can we train the HOS to identify any mischief?
2) People who are naive to the internet will never know that they are becoming a victim of a phishing attack. Even after warning the population to check the URL, the SSL favicon, the padlock symbol to ensure the authencity of a websit, how many bother to check that?
3) Techniques like email spoofing add to the nuisance. Who bothers to check the headers of an email to verify the origin if the message?
4) Can there never be a security solution to Social Engg?
I as a script-kiddie had launched quite a few phishing attacks. But being a White Hat I only grabbed email a/cs, no bank accs. Though I never misused them, but merely accessing those accounts gave enormous information about that person including bank & credit card details.
Will we ever have a solution??

Where I stayed
Drove from Lincoln, NE to Ames, IA this morning. You'll see on the video that it was, once again, a beautiful ride. Got hung up in some construction traffic getting out of Lincoln and then had two detours in Iowa due to the road being washed out. And again, we lucked out and missed the rain today. A big system is coming through tonight, but I think we'll get the smaller hit out of the whole thing. We're 12 miles north of the city of Ames in Studio City.
The owner of Cherry Bomb joined the tour today and we got a great promo spot from him as to what's going on the final night (Friday) in Madison.
We were scheduled to stop at Cedar Falls dragstrip tomorrow, but its been cancelled because it's under water! Oh well. I'm just glad to be north of the searing heat of the south. It was a pleasant 75 today.

HPV Vaccine Safety
Do you have a teenager? If so, have they received their HPV vaccine?
HPV stands for Human Papilloma Virus, which may cause cervical and penile cancer, oral cancers and genital warts. There has been a vaccine available since 2007.
A recent study in the journal Pediatrics looked at vaccination rates for teens and the HPV vaccine. While 80% of teens are receiving their Tdap booster, and 63% of teens are current on their meningococcal meningitis vaccine, only 32% of teens have received all 3 doses of HPV vaccine.
Parents whose teenagers had not received a first HPV vaccine or completed the series often said that the vaccine was not needed or necessary.
Other parents whose children had not received the HPV vaccine and who did not intend to vaccinate their children stated that they were worried about the safety or side effects of the vaccine.
The HPV vaccine has had a good safety record and has been shown to be very effective in preventing HPV infections. The vaccine has been studied in the United States for amost 7 years, and in Europe and Australia for almost 10 years.
The vaccine does not treat HPV disease, but rather prevents it, so the vaccine needs to be given to adolescents prior to any exposure to the virus. While many parents feel comfortable discussing sexuality with their children, other parents are uncomfortable with vaccinating their children for a sexually transmitted disease.
Getting parents to complete the series (which is given over a 6 month period) has also been a hurdle and the vaccine is not effective until all 3 shots in the series has been completed.
If you have questions about the HPV vaccine, talk to your doctor in order that all of your questions can be answered. I know I have given my 3 children the vaccine and encourage all of my patients age 11 and older to receive the HPV vaccine series.

Hey - I am fairly new at this - I have two supers chock full of honey from last season - I left them on my hives over the winter thinking the bees could use it for extra food if they run low. Well I found the hives dead and the supers untouched this spring. Is this honey any good if I would extract it - or should I just put them back on the hives for the new bees to take - the hive bodies were also left with lots of honey stores so I don't think the new bees will particularly need the supers too.
Any guidance is appreciated!

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
Nice cozy Appartement in the very center of Paris. Everything was clean and tidy. The Staff was very polite and helpful, giving us advise to have an enjoyable time in Paris. Highly recommandable.
Beautiful location - great views!! Space was all we needed, with large comfortable beds. Fabienne was helpful & accomodating. The only issue was we weren't given the exact apartment we booked (I think she has a few in the same building) but we weren't too worried as there were still the same amount of beds, and we were only there for the night so was fine for us.
Everything was as mentioned in a great location. Less than a minute from one of the main train stations. Liked the location very much. The landlord was really nice too.
We had a good time in the appartment. It is very well located, five minutes from the Ille de la Cite and shopping begins at your doorstep. The owners of the appartment were very helpful and flexible. Don't expect a fancy appartment, but it is well kept, clean and has (for Parisians) quite some space. I would definitely rent it again.
Very nice and clean apartment in a pretty good location, just in the heart of Paris!
The hostess was very helpful and she also gave us touristic information.
If I ever return to Paris I will definitely repeat the accomodation!
It's a nice little apartment with a pretty good location! You are exactly in the centre of Paris! The Notre Dame and the Louvre Museum are almost around the corner. And for those who dont like to walk that much there is also a metro station just 1 minute away from the apartment.
So i would definitely book it again when i'm going again to Paris! :)
Perfect location for sightseeing in Paris! The appartment was clean and practical. Quite a few stairs to go up, but surprisingly quiet.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Regards, Kristine
We had a great experience staying in this appartment. It has a great central location for sightseeing Paris as well as for going out. Furthermore it is spacious, very clean and equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay incl. fast wi-fi and TV among others. I also appreciated communication with the owner- she speaks very good English and was responding quickly to ours e-mails and calls. I would highly recommend staying at this place :)

Stinger CEO, passenger dead after plane crash in northwest Montana
MISSOULA, Mont. - The following is a press release from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department:
On 12/19/12 at 11:12 AM, Steve Patrick, Vice President of Montana operations for Stinger Welding, called the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office to report an overdue aircraft.
The aircraft was flown by Stinger Welding owner and CEO, Carl Douglas, of Coolidge, Arizona. A Stinger Welding employee, John Smith of Coolidge, Arizona, was a passenger in the aircraft.
The aircraft, a twin engine Beachcraft, left Coolidge, Arizona, at about 8:30 PM on 12/18/12, and was to arrive in Libby just after midnight. When Mr. Douglas did not check in the next morning, a check of the Libby airport confirmed that the aircraft had not landed. Further checks at other airports confirmed that the aircraft was unaccounted for.
Civil Air Patrol, Montana Aeronautics and FAA were notified. The FAA advised the sheriff's office of a last known position according to their radar as just southeast of Libby.
Sheriff's deputies and volunteers from David Thompson Search and Rescue were dispatched into the area.
Montana Aeronautics dispatched an aircraft from Helena, to search the area. The aircraft was equipped with an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) signal locator.
A local pilot from Libby also began searching the area and did locate an ELT signal, but was unable to pinpoint the exact location.
The Montana Aeronautics aircraft was able to locate the plane wreckage by following the ELT signal.
Sheriff's deputies and search and rescue members snowmobiled into the area. Searchers used handheld ELT locators to find the site. At 8 PM searchers located an extensive crash debris field in a remote area south of Swede Mountain, about three miles northeast of the Libby airport. Neither occupant of the aircraft had survived the crash.
FAA and NTSB officials were notified. The sheriff's office and county coroner are recovering the remains of the deceased, and the NTSB will be conducting an investigation as to the cause of the crash.
-Sheriff Roby Bowe

My hubby is testing the following and we don't understand how we're getting these results. We would like to finally get a product that looks Aluminum, sorta like rubnbuff on sintra, but all these weird shades are comming out. The reasoning behind these tests are because rubnbuff if not sealed with a clear coat of paint will rub off on the rest of your costume, and if dinged, your black or white sintra/styrene will show through. Same with regular paints.
Can anyone suggest a way for us to get aluminum coloring?
1) regular resin casted, cured, lab metal brushed on top, buffed (looks like chrome)
2) lab metal brushed in the mold, cured, resin poured behind it cured, demolded and buffed the lab metal(looks dark gray)
3) Aluminum powdered resin cured, buffed (looks like titanium color)
Let Zam I Ain't know whatcha think. We are clueless right now.

and only today did I see my first non-bee critter, and I think it was a wasp (looked like a yellowjacket until I really got good look at the face) and it was just eating a dead bee under the hive, so I let it be.

Good to hear you enjoying the windows. It surely is a perfect way to learn something about bees.
Winter is coming and you should begin preparations. I suggest feeding pollen patties and feed small amounts, so they finish the third box, buildup stores and produce fat winter bees.
Think about and prepare for insulation, wind protection and how to keep them dry. A protected hive, lots of stores and healthy fatty bees is what they need now. Winters can be hard to bees and now is the time for preparations.

She had a great first season, and is planning on splitting her hive next summer (if it survives winter). She completed a workbook for kids, which was a fantastic resource:
She also took a beginner beekeeping course throught the local community college, and I sat in with her. Here is a page from her 'notes':
We would absolutely recommend working with the smaller Warre hives. It was a great way to focus on the basics of bee behaviour and observation, without the overwhelming equipment/manipulation issues of Langs. Then, you have the choice of keeping it simple or adding in equipment/manipulations as you gain confidence. WINDOWS = LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. Can't emphasize that enough.

Best of luck heading into winter, fellow northern hemisphere beeks. See you next year!

Thank you for all the updates! I love reading about what your daughter is learning!! This is my first year as well, and have been involving my young boys (5 & 2) as much as possible. The five year old took some comb to school for show and tell, along with a replica bee toy.

Second year update:
It overwintered with just three boxes - two of honey and one empty one, which we thought might work as a cold sink (like we have in the greenhouse). We are wondering if a black painted Warre box, nadired in fall and removed in the spring, would work as a more efficient heat sink during the day/cold sink at night? In April, we were sure we had lost them, but then the population exploded the first week of May. Just in time for the willow catkins opening on May 8. And they were off.
They survived and are thriving. We didn't treat last fall, or feed this spring. Yesterday, we had to both nadir again and super, so there are now six boxes on this hive. We are excited to see if we get lovely comb honey from the supered box! My husband is having to help with moving things around at this point, because it's getting pretty heavy. I think we will need to both harvest and nadir at least two more boxes in short order. They are building fast.
Daughter has set up a bait hive nearby with two boxes and a frame of comb she froze last fall. We couldn't find lemongrass oil locally, so we just hung a lemon grass stem near the entrance. We're taking a few short holidays this summer - the bait hive is just a small insurance policy.
She had fun over winter, making candles, lip balm... and the sacred HONEY STICKS. The heating element on the impulse sealer burned out after a few hundred sticks. She earned enough selling them to buy another one, but we don't know what to get (suggestions?). She found out that honey sticks are essentially lost leader products, but that lip balm has a nice profit margin. She also found out that she hates making candles with a mould. We are going to try mason jar and dipped candles after the next harvest. Creamed honey is also on the agenda, as is honey rock candy.
She signed on for another self-directed 4H Beekeeping Project. Right now we are building a model Warre hive from cereal boxes. She's going to take that to fair, along with an actual Warre box, honey, all her value-added apiary products (and maybe comb honey?!). An observation hive is still on the distant horizon. Someday.
She wants to build a top bar hive this fall to put out at a friend's farm. She is fascinated by the idea of running a hive with two queens - and a queen excluder in the middle. I know nothing about this, so it will be our next area of research. Onward ho.
Wow sounds excellent.
What is your bee breed, if you know? Apologies if that's already been mentioned but don't want to read the entire thread again looking for it.

I haven't used a sealer for honey sticks, but a few years ago I occasionally repaired a couple at work. Some sealers have easily replaceable heater strips - and in some cases are sold with replacement/extra heaters as part of the original purchase.
I'm not recommending any particular seller here, just illustrating the concept:
Note the replacement heaters included above.

Adios, muchachos!!!
After 40 years of beekeeping, I've come to realize that the bees can fix most of my mistakes.
Your project sounds amazing!!! It's wonderful that your daughter wants to do this and that you are so supportive of her. Beekeeping needs lots of young, fresh blood if the bees are going to survive!
I hear your concerns about portability and non-intervention, and I don't want to dissuade you from a Warre if you have your heart set on that (personally, I plan to build some myself this year). However, since this is a 4H project, I thought I'd bring up a key point about Warre's design and methodology. According to him, the People's Hive should be inspected only twice a year -- in spring and in the fall. However, I think that if you're a new beekeeper, you don't really get to learn much about bees this way. Even if you have observation windows, you get a very limited view of what's going on inside the hive (and not even a spectacular view since the bees usually gunk up the window).
The best way to learn about bees is to actually watch them up close. If you have a TBH or Lang, you will need to do more frequent inspections, but you'll get to see so much more -- eggs, larvae, bees emerging from their cells, the queen laying eggs, bees chewing down wood... all kinds of neat stuff happens in a hive. However, you won't be able to observe them with binoculars or even through a window that displays just the edge of the comb.
To be honest, I'm not very familiar with the goals of 4H other than raising livestock, but if you actually want to learn about bees and see the cool things they do, then a different hive might be better for that than a Lang. If honey is the goal, then a Warre is fine.
One other thing, Al Avitable (co-author of The Beekeeper's Handbook and Emeritus Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCONN) is a member of my local beekeeping club. We were chit chatting about Warres at the last meeting and he recommended 5 years of beekeeping experience before getting one because they were just more difficult to keep. I think part of the issue is that beeks don't get into the hive enough to know what is normal and abnormal behavior. So if something is wrong, they don't see it.
Again, I don't want to dissuade you if you really want a Warre. However, I would suggest inspecting it more frequently than you originally intended. Or consider a KTBH or HTBH, which are bulky, but you only have to transport them once (and can be mostly assembled on the spot). Also, you don't actually need to open up the brood nest during inspections for a KTBH/HTBH, so even though they require frequent inspections, they are still a low-interference type of hive. Also, once installed, a horizontal hive is much lighter than dealing with full Warre boxes because you are only dealing with 5-8 lbs at a time. I have a KTBH, and my 12-yr old son is able to do all the inspection tasks by himself (under my supervision, of course). Even my 8-year old is able to handle bars of comb easily. As a beek and a mom, it's an amazing feeling when my boys do an inspection with me and express excitement and awe over what they see.
In any case, good luck with your project! I hope you keep us updated on your progress!
Oldtimer, they are carniolans (I had to ask the person who gifted them to us). They re-queened themselves sometime early last year, as we found two supersedure cups in the top box towards the end of the season.
Graham, Thank You! That is the very sealer we bought, but I didn't see the repair kit as a separate item. Totally affordable, and works reasonably well. Now, if we can just be a bit tidier about it...
Colobee, Barry was very helpful in helping me remove 'identifiers' from this thread. It took patience on his part - and I thank him very much. It was brought to my attention that I shared too much info in describing this project.
fruitveggirl, YES! We hope to add more hive types in coming years. We selected the Warre because of size, but also because hive manipulations are minimized. She (and I) preferred to gain confidence by observing from a safer measure the first year Already, we are wishing we could just start lifting frames and poking around. Baby steps.

Just another bout of paranoid/manic/depressive/obsessive/compulsive (typical beekeeper ).
Good luck. You are in good hands here.
After 40 years of beekeeping, I've come to realize that the bees can fix most of my mistakes.
We were too late with nadiring/supering. They swarmed this morning. Skipped the bait hive and clustered under the eaves of an outbuilding. We moved the bait hive directly under them, as they are out of reach of even our tallest ladder.
The bulk of the population seems to have stayed with the original hive? We removed the (empty) supered box from the original hive (it is now at five boxes - three full, one 3/4 full, one empty) and took one frame of mixed honey and brood (sans bees) to place in the bait box as extra incentive. Maybe the old comb from last year wasn't enticing enough. The scout bees are all over the bait box now... fingers crossed.
What is the status of the bees going into spring?

I went shopping today and was talking to a mom in the que. He trolly was full of ready meals and tinned food.
She said no one taught her to cook. If you did this I would love to help. I would start it off myself but i dont have your clout

Hiya Jamie,
Nice to be part of this website, and boy did I get a total surpise yesterday! I use to come to your parents pub way back about 13-14 years ago my sister lived in the area and she use to take me there as a treat to have dinner and lunch on my visits up from Devon. Maybe you even helped cook one of them! Now I live in Sydney Australia and love watching your shows, I miss sweet baby leeks!
But I am hoping to come to Fifteen when I come to the UK in August I just hope there is a vacancy! My boyfriend and I look forward to enjoying your hard work and will continue to watch and support you in all the good you're doing!

Hi Jamie, I'm Wayne, presently a DJ by trade but with a string of other things under my belt I've been considering opening a daytime restaurant for kids, somewhere as an alternative drop off than McD's etc, also catering for birthday parties etc. I've had this idea in my head for ages now and to be perfectly honest only seriously considered doing it since watching 'School Dinners', and mate, you deserve a medal for that one. I'm based in Brighton and that's where I would base the business, i've already looked at 2 places as suitable venues and am presently looking into the requirements for staffing etc. Your views on this matter would be really appreciated. Cheers for listening m8y

Just want to say I love ur shows Jamie and was especially impressed with the recent school dinners shows.
My 6yo daughter also watched them and her eating habits have improved somewhat, although I still have all sorts of trouble trying to get her to eat lettuce or anything that vaguely resembles a salad! :cry:
Keep up the great work and the fantastic recipes.

Calculating risk POST assesment?
This applies to both Network pen testing and web application assessments.
I was wondering if there had been any work done on calculating risk POST web app assessment or network pen testing?
There are a number of risks I can think of POST assessment:
0day vulnerabilities
Missed bugs due to time constraints
The skill/experience of the tester/s
Missed bugs due to tool/s not functioning as expected
Any help with this is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Mind-Body-Spirit Integration with Joni Polehna (Holistic Health Series)
|Monday, July 15, 2013
|1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
|Lupus Foundation of Minnesota Office, Bloomington
In this workshop, Joni Polehna discusses Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) created by Gary Craig, an ordained minister. EFT combines the sciences of Mind/Body Medicine and Acupuncture wherein we stimulate certain energy meridian points on the body by tapping on them with our fingertips.
Since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that even though we focus on releasing emotional issues, EFT provides astonishing physical relief. Learn how to identify emotional issues you may want to release and learn the basic pattern of tapping on the body's energy points that you can use on your own. While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it.
About Joni: Joni began studying holistic work to help her father deal with Alzheimer's disease. Since then, she has developed a private practice that helps people identify and release negative tendencies, behaviors or belief systems they hold that are detrimental to their health and happiness. She also teaches others to take charge of their own health and well-being by recognizing and releasing stressors in their lives. For more information about Joni, click here.
To register or for more information, contact Cheryl Como, Vice President of Client Services, at [email protected] or 952-746-5151. Please register by July 14.

VZ, I'll take one of those if you don't mind a postal money order. I don't do paypal.
Use these blocks to hold the lower so you can do maintenance and to test your trigger work. You can dry fire the lower without fear of damaging the receiver because the hammer will hit the plastic block not the thin aluminum.
(I put silver paint on the edge of the hammer for you to see it better, that is not a gap.)
You can also mount an upper (with no BCG) on the lower with the block installed.
The lower half of the block is trimmed down so repeated clamping should not interfere with it being removed from the magwell.
Email me and post here please if you want one!
These are only $25 shipped ppal fees included.

Verizon's Non-Phone World: FitBit, TAGG Collar, Vehicle Diagnostics
While at the Verizon Communiations's (VZ) flagship store on 42nd Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in Manhattan to see the roll-out of retail availability of BlackBerry's (BBRY) Z10 smartphone, I was also pitched some of Verizon's non-phone offerings.
The company is branching out into more wares that use its wireless telemetry network to monitor and give feedback about all manner of activities. They asked to show me some of these wares, as I was already in the store to talk about the Z10, and I was game.
A $99.95 pet-monitoring collar, made by startup TAGG, can be placed around an animal's neck to track your pet. It comes with three months of service included, and costs $7.95 a month after that, and gives you constant reads on where your dog is (or your iguana or another pet, I suppose, depending).
A $49 device called "FitBit" can clip to your pants seam and measures how much you've walked and how many calories you've burnt in a day. It's extremely light weight plastic, comes in bright colors, and has a monochromatic display that's touch-sensitive. The battery is rated to last a week and a half, but a store associate who's been using it, Summer, said she'd been able to go a month without needing to recharge it. The devices sends constant updates that can also be monitored via a Web site. There is no charge for the wireless network service.
The third device, which went on sale today, "Vehicle Diagnostics, is a small plastic device made by Delphi Automotive (DLPH), went on sale today for $249 plus a $5-per-month fee. It plugs into a monitoring port built into cars already, below the driver-side dash above the break. It is billed as a way to "keep an eye on your vehicle's health from your smartphone. Also using the telemetry network, it can send information to your smartphone to tell you such things as when the oil needs to be changed. It can also send a beacon to let you know where your car is. That means it could conceivably be an anti-theft device, or a theft-remediation device, at least, to locate stolen vehicles, or to tell you where your children may be if they borrow your car. (But I would suggest you refrain from spying on your children.)
