What are the advantages or disadvantages of using sugar syrup versus using honey for spring feeding? Should the noey be diluted?
What are the advantages or disadvantages of using sugar syrup versus using honey for spring feeding? Should the noey be diluted?
There are lots of opinions. And some of this will be my opinion, but first let's look at honey and sugar syrup.
Honey is mostly fructose and glucose and is quite low in moisture compared to sugar syrup or nectar.
Sugar syrup is mostly sucrose and higher moisture than honey.
Nectar is mostly sucrose and higher moisture than honey.
When bees eat nectar they produce enzymes to change the sucrose to glucose and fructose. When bees eat sugar syrup they do the same. When they eat honey they donÂt have to make these changes.
So if you want to stimulate them to raise brood by simulating a nectar flow, you feed them watered down sugar syrup. If you want to feed them, then it depends on your point of view. Mine is that in the fall I donÂt want to cause them to raise brood, and the best feed is what Mother Nature provides: honey.
There are three reasons to feed bees.
In the fall because you took too much of their honey and they don't have enough stores. For this I feed honey, not diluted, because it's what bees go through the winter with and it won't confuse them and make then think there is a nectar flow.
In the spring because they are starving because you took too much of their honey and they didnÂt have enough stores and there is no nectar flow. Again, I think honey would be best. I still wouldn't dilute it. If you dilute it it will ferment and you'll have mead instead.
In the spring to stimulate brood rearing. I feed a little of the more watered down sugar syrup. 1:1 is one part (by volume) sugar to one part water. So if you take a quart of sugar and add a quart of hot water you have one to one. DonÂt feed them a lot. The object is not to provide food for them, but simply to stimulate brood rearing. If you give them too much they will clog the brood nest with honey and the queen will have no where to lay.

Some books say to use a 2:1 ratio sugar syrup in the spring. For a general rule on making syrup at 1:1 I use a pint of water for every pound of sugar. The old saying is a pint's a pound the world around.
I doubt that it's very critical what the actual ratio is, but the more watery syrup is more similar to nectar.
I always understood 1:1 or 2:1 to be by volume. It's true a pint of water weighs a pound, but then you're doing your proportion by weight instead of volume. The bees, of course, don't care one bit.

Check out the March issue of the American Bee Journal page 185. "Formulas for Beekeepers".
That one article was worth the subscription price for the entire year.
Bill, is hte American Bee Journal available on line? Also, the reason I'd like to feed honey to the bees is that I left a quart or so in an open bucket in the basement, and later found a mouse happily swimming in honey. Since it's unfit for human consumption, I thought the bees might like it. (I put the mouse outside, and don't know whether she happily licked herself clean, or whether a crow, perhaps, had a tasty snack.)
You can certainly feed the honey to them rather than waste it. Especially with a new package, most will get changed into wax.
I don't think so. Their e-mail is email@example.com or the web site listed is www.dadant.com. I subscribe to both the ABJ and Bee culture, I think that they are both a "must read".
I emergency feed with left over/spilled honey. It is probably the easiest quickest way to get feed into a hive and it makes use of spilt honey. Consider the possibility of spreading disease. AFB spores lay dormant in honey. Be sure to use your own honey, and only if you know you don't have an outbreak of AFB. A quick and easy way to spread disease throughout your operation.
Bill, I subscribe to Bee Culture, but I'll keep looking for ABJ. The Dadant websit had a glitch, but It didn't appear that the the article would be available.
Ian, what kind of feeder to you use for feeding honey?
Time for feeding has come so i like to ask you about soy flour you are using. Do you mix soy flour as it is or you reduce the protein percentage to 23% wich as they say is the best for feeding? I'm asking that because the kind of flour i found on super markets doesn't mention anything about protein percentage.
Thanks mike.
Personally, I've always used it straight, but if there is any real pollen source around they just ignore it anyway.
I use both expelled soy meal and instant soy milk powder. They love the milk powder over everything else. I have heard of people useing protein shake mix with a lot of luck. I have not tried it but I will this year. I would not worry about the amount of protein in the soy. If you look at the different pollens they range from 12%-38% protein.
>Ian, what kind of feeder to you use for feeding honey?
I feed my left over honey just by scraping it on the hives top bars over the bee cluster. Nothing fancy, a bit messy, but an excellent way to get feed into a hungry hive.

Well some of you guys might have seen a couple pics here and there of my XO-1 GT8. Well I thought I would dedicate a thread for it. Today was the first day that I got to drive it. All I have to say is wow! This thing is fast. I started it out on 4s and it was so fast that I had to double check and make sure that I didn't install my 6s battery. Drove it around on 4s for a little bit and then stepped it up to 6s. I need to find a very big and smooth road or parking lot to get this thing up to speed. I ran into some glitching issues though. The Xl2 is suppose to have a 5amp bec, but I guess it still can't handle my Hitec 985mg and the esc fan at the same time. I have a Spektrum 3300T installed and that doesn't help either. I have since installed a Spektrum glitch buster but have yet to try it out again. Here are some pics.
This is the full length roller before shortening the wheelbase. I stole a bunch of parts from the Slash 4x4 to turn the XO-1 into a roller.
This is after shortening it to a 360mm wheelbase. I simply moved up the rear diff and redrilled holes in the chassis. I did this so I wouldn't have to cut the chassis.
Here it is with body installed. I also have the Kyosho GT2 Corvette body, but need to paint it.

This story was originally published in the February 17, 1989, issue of the Boston Phoenix.
From the summer of 1982 to the winter of 1985, I ate the same thing every day: a plain sesame bagel for breakfast, a Dannon coffee-flavored yogurt for lunch. an apple and a one-inch cube of cheddar cheese for dinner. Nothing more.
Once in a while — with long, painful deliberation — I varied the diet. I'd substitute 10 Wheat Thins for half the apple at night, or I'd have a vanilla yogurt for lunch instead of a coffee one. On even rarer occasions, I had a bad day: those happened if I became overwhelmed by longing, or if I found myself in social situations where I really couldn't avoid eating, or if I absolutely couldn't stand it anymore. And then I would give in and eat, and eat, and eat — until I felt sick or crazy or both. But that didn't happen very often. For the most part, I had good days: a plain sesame bagel for breakfast (80 calories), A Dannon coffee-flavored yogurt for lunch (200 calories), an apple and a one-inch cube of cheddar cheese for dinner (150 calories). And nothing else.
Nothing else mattered — just food and my weight — and the effort to control them superseded everything. I lost friends because of it. I lied about it. Feelings — of love, sexuality, passion, rage, whatever — became no more than alien concepts, things that other people felt. Starving was my only goal.
The technical term for this affliction is anorexia nervosa. But in everyday language, it's an addiction — as powerful as alcoholism and in some cases as lethal. Conservative estimates are that one out of every 100 young women are case-book anorexics. Scores more, however, fall into anorexic behavior on a regular basis.
* * *
At the time, I was working for a Providence paper, my first journalism job. I was young, shy, scared, lonely and, probably most of all, angry. I didn't know what else to do, so I starved myself.
Like any addiction, starving is a coping mechanism. It is self-protective. When I was starving, all I could think about was food: what I'd eat next, when I'd eat it, how I'd eat it, and whether it would be too much or not enough. And because all I could think about was food, I didn't have room to think about anything else: not the past, not the future, not men or friends or world events, and certainly not things like the fact that I was young, shy, scared, lonely, and angry.
Starving also gave me a sense of power. On good days — days I stuck to my regimen — I used to test my will by walking home from work down a street full of food stores and restaurants. I passed a restaurant where I could see trays of pastries through a glass window. I passed a gourmet-food shop, a Dunkin' Donuts, a candy store, an outdoor café, a bakery. I could smell the honey glaze on doughnuts. I could smell French fries, teriyaki chicken wings, and homemade oatmeal bread. It gave me a tremendous sense of control. There I was in the midst of all that food and I could resist the craving to eat, no matter how hungry I was. I was strong, different.

Key features:

Corrected problem: when a folder becomes disconnected the comskip tracking are all removed.

Patch has been applied to allow users to use their local database even without new data from thetvdb. It's working now. replace mythicalLibrarian.sh and it will use your current database until TheTvDb comes back up online and mythicalLibrarian's database can be updated again.
This is a perfect time to explain the doover.sh as well. doover.sh is just what it is named, it's a do-over. It records the jobs that have been run and allows you to re-run them if they've failed.
sudo su mythtv
Between the two of these, downtime of TheTvDb should mean minimal impact
- althekiller - 2010-01-05 08:12
How many threads do you need for this thing?
- outleradam - 2010-01-05 14:45
Two. Are you saying I should close down the MythSExx thread?
- Bueller - 2010-01-12 12:02
Thanks for the great script, I've been using it for about 1 week. I've run across an issue where the search logic doesn't find the correct series. It's for the show "Castle".
MythTV runs the following after the show has been recorded:
mythicalLibrarian.sh "Castle" "A Rose for Everafter" "/Recordings/1151_20100111210000.mpg", if fails with the following output:
Manually looking up the series on thetvdb.com show the show name as "Castle (2009)".
Changing the line in doover.sh to: mythicalLibrarian.sh "Castle (2009)" "A Rose for Everafter" "/Recordings/1151_20100111210000.mpg" causes the script to find the show and complete successfully.
Any chance you can add some logic to the script on failure to look for series names with years appended to them.
- outleradam - 2010-01-12 15:39
Doh! I left that woot in there...
I will need the single debug log entry from /mythicalLibrarian/output.log to do any troubleshooting. Also I will release an un"woot"ed version tonight.
- outleradam - 2010-01-12 16:01
Actually, create a file in mythicalLibrarian/ called showtranslations. Then put the following line in it:
Castle = Castle (2009)
This is the built in option.
During the day at work I check this thread on my iPhone. I just saw a terminal output and asked for a debug log. A debug log is always the best.
As for looking up a non specified name, that would be bad. The fuzzy logic would eventually make a match of a show which is completely unrelated. If searching battlestar gallactica, it would search 4 different shows to make a match. If mythicalLibrarian were to pull the original airdate year and apply it to the show name it would only be valid for season 1.
Shows which do not conform to thetvdb can be taken up with your guide data provider. mythicalLibrarian will work with what it is supplied by showtranslations, the guide data, thetvdb and MythTV. The problem in this case is the guide data, however mythicalLibrarian supplies a workaround.
- outleradam - 2010-01-12 19:58
I was just reviewing thetvdb.com and found that the XML contains a zap2it Id. I will look into using this tonight.
The basic flow I am envisioning would be alot of work and would severely slow down the execution of mythicalLibrarian on certain shows, but if possible it would be worth it.
Basically this check would involve getting info from mythtv, performing the seriesid search, then downlading and parsing the first result, verifying the zaptoit ID, if it does not pass, then downloading the next XML and parsing it.. This will result in creation of many unneeded databases. I will see what I can come up with
- outleradam - 2010-01-13 06:13
I came up with a fix. Here's the proof:
/home/mythtv/mythicalLibrarian/mythicalLibrarian.sh "castle" "A Rose For Ever After" "/home/adam/Desktop/new file .ext"
- Bueller - 2010-01-13 06:40
Awesome, I'll start using the unstable version and let you know if I run into any issues. Thanks.
- jaygardner - 2010-01-15 09:25
Tried mythicalLibrarian tonight after MythSExx failed to find a show. was hoping the airtime match would kick in and find it...
dunno if this is your 1 in 400 problem or another punctuation issue, but this show name has a colon in its name...
here's the log (i ran it manually since i haven't set it up in myth yet)...
creating home/mythicalLibrarian and log file
- outleradam - 2010-01-15 17:42
Looks like a punctuation issue. I can correct that easily.
The unstable version mentioned at the bottom of the first page of the support page would probly resolve that issue assuming thetvdb has a zap2it i'd for the show.
I will address that issue tonight.
- outleradam - 2010-01-16 05:09
This is the output from the unstable version with no database information. It seems to be a bit more stable then the older version.

in fact this is the newest one
FILE NAME EXISTS. FILE WILL BE KNOWN AS: Law and Order Special Victims Unit.S11E12 (Shadow)-1
I'm uploading to sourceforge now.
- jaygardner - 2010-01-16 09:08
that does work to identify the show, but xbmc never updates the library to include that show.
I'm guessing that since it writes the show title out without the punctuation, xbmc doesn't match it with what tvdb shows...
almost like you need the opposite function of what showtranslations does - or better yet, (probably harder for you though), if the script strips out any punctuation during the match process, have it put it back in before it writes to disk...
update- i renamed the moved files, matching the punctuation to match what tvdb shows as the name of the series title, but xbmc still doesn't update the library to include that show...

I loved this place - the house was incredibly clean, and our hosts were very nice and accommodative. My friend and I were scrambling to find a place to watch the world cup final, and Lissy was able to save us two seats at the beer garden where they were watching the game.
There wasn't any wifi, but that wasn't much of an issue for us. I would definitely recommend this place - truly a great deal.
Everything as agreed. Since we really wanted to sleep there and spent the day with relatives, we had no further desires (and also no experience).
Alles wie abgesprochen. Da wir wirklich nur dort schlafen wollten und den Tag bei Verwandten verbrachten, hatten wir keine weitergehenden Wünsche (und auch keine Erfahrungen).
very nice and friendly.
unfortunately could not complete the room .. everything else was ok

leider konnte man das Zimmer nicht abschließen.. sonst war alles ok
The property is highly recommended! Lissy and your husband are very welcoming people. Room was clean and comfortably furnished. Great location to the Fair.
If Munich again, then definitely stay here again! Unfortunately, I'm a little left earlier and had thus determined very delicious spaghetti Bolognese missed that the two had cooked for himself and all the guests :) Thumbs Up!
Die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen! Lissy und Ihr Mann sind sehr herzliche Leute. Zimmer war sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Tolle Lage zur Messe.
Wenn nochmal München, dann definitiv wieder hier! Leider bin ich etwas früher abgereist und habe somit die bestimmt sehr leckeren Spaghetti Bolognese verpasst, die die beiden für sich und alle Gäste gekocht hatten :) Daumen Hoch!
Thank you for a lovely stay.

Shooting of freelance reporter increases fear for South Sudan's press
Freelance journalist Peter Julius Moi used to ride a motorbike without wearing a helmet, despite warnings from one of his colleagues to be more careful. Moi would just shrug off those concerns, saying that as a South Sudanese journalist "risk was simply part of life." Last month, the reporter was shot dead as he walked home from work.

Mary Karr's courageous, enthralling memoir Lit chronicles in unsparing detail her struggle to accept her addiction to alcohol and her truly inspiring resurrection. But like her other best-selling memoir, The Liar's Club, Karr expertly avoids treading into maudlin, movie-of-the-week territory. That's because of her keen eye for detail, sharp wit, and expertly-written sentences - all of which sparkle like diamonds in Karr's no-nonsense performance of her own carefully-chosen words.
Hearing an author read her work always adds a special thrill to the book, especially in this case. Karr is not just writing about a crucial time in her life, a time when she found her voice as a writer, got married, started a family, and everything seemed to be going her way…until her life unraveled. In Lit, Karr confides her inner-most thoughts and fears about actions and events most people would probably never confess to their parish priest. That might explain why her voice sometimes sounds annoyed or irritated. It's like she can't believe she actually did the things she did, looking back now as someone sober and stable.
Credit Karr for also dispelling the myth perpetuated by many mainstream movies (sorry, Crazy Heart) that most addicts magically achieve sobriety and never look back. Karr recounts with rigorous honesty one relapse after another and her serious suicidal thoughts after being sober for months and winning a prestigious literary prize. It sounds illogical, but, as Karr explains, "If you live in the dark a long time and the sun comes out, you do not cross into it whistling." Reading lines like this, Karr reveals a sweet, tender side, often concealed beneath her brassy, Texas twang.
But no matter the tone, Karr's pitch-perfect choice of words and her sharpshooter's eye for detail will dazzle anyone who appreciates the fine art of outstanding writing. Karr's sure-handed voice both literally and figuratively enables Lit to transcend the factual boundaries of confessional memoirs and enter the pantheon of first-class literature. Thank you, Mary Karr, for having the courage and the craft to share with us your truly inspiring story, one spectacular sentence at a time. Ken Ross
Lit follows Mary Karr's descent into the inferno of alcoholism and madness - and her astonishing resurrection. Karr's longing for a solid family seems secure when her marriage to a handsome, Shakespeare-quoting poet produces a son they adore. But she can't outrun her apocalyptic past. She drinks herself into the same numbness that nearly devoured her charismatic but troubled mother, reaching the brink of suicide. A hair-raising stint in "The Mental Marriott" awakens her to the possibility of joy, and leads her to an unlikely faith.
Lit is about getting drunk and getting sober; becoming a mother by letting go of a mother; learning to write by learning to live. It is a truly electrifying story of how to grow up - as only Mary Karr can tell it.

"Astonishing....One of the most dazzling and moving memoirs to come along in years." (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times)
As a memoir, this ranks up there with the best. The author successfully navigates the parallel paths of intellectual elitism, drugs, sobriety, family, relationships, sex, religion, financial dysfunction and everything in between. Her writing is smart and not always direct, and her language is surgically precise. This is not a sparse, lean style - it's more complex and indirect and you have to pay attention. Things are more rhythmic and measured as the book progresses, but the beginning chapters are not at all linear. Well worth the effort to stay the course, however.
Mary Karr as a narrator sounds rather harsh at the start - but after a few chapters one gets accustomed to the "lived in" voice. It's not a nice, crisp and correct "designer" narration - but it's emotionally riveting and very well matched to the material.
I am only giving this book 4 stars because of the lengthy epigraphs at the start of each chapter. Most of them are annoyingly long and oblique, and I started resenting these passages for taking up so much space in the book. When you like a listen, every minute counts, and I didn't think the quotes did anything to enhance the story. But, bottom line, this was excellent!

"Finally! One for the "Win" column"
I have made some really poor choices since joining the huge club of audiophiles. I've downloaded some real stinkers and mediocre titles that made me groan with regret within the first 3 chapters - then force myself to listen to the rest either because I wanted to punish myself or I wanted to hold out hope that it would get better if I just kept going. This book goes in the "win" column - fantastic flow and descriptive enough to really take hold of the imagination without going overboard. The last 4 chapters fell out of the groove a bit - but that doesn't cancel out the enjoyment I experienced listening to the rest. The language is sharp and shocking in some sections - which I really appreciate because it's real and I'm no stranger to sarcasm, satire, and cynical rants - I guffawed glee several times. Thank you Mary Karr - you freakin' rule
"More than just an alcoholic tale"
I loved Mary Karr's other two memoirs (which I read in print)and was so excited to see this one out and in her own voice. She explores this time using small moments which she captures so well- Her prose are poetically descriptive. She is brutally honest about her alcoholism without dwelling so much on the gore of her drinking. I found myself identifying with her as a modern mother and wife but you don't have to either to appreciate this story. She does talk about finding god which I thought would be annoying but really wasn't.
"Honest, raw, funny, sad"
Mary Karr is as wonderful a narrator as she is a writer. I haven't read the first two installments of her memoirs (though I will now) but it didn't matter in terms of "getting" her, her life, her past, etc. This is an honest, raw, fairly gritty memoir. Karr has a great sense of humor and unflinching honesty as a writer and memoirist. I was enthralled.
"This was my favorite listen of Karr's books"
I've read a few times that it's a bad idea for authors to narrate their own books, and I have to say now that I've listened to all 3 of Karr's, I think that's mostly right. I first read Liar's Club and then listened to it, to Cherry and then Lit. The first was a hard one to listen to, but the second was better and the third was best of all. I hope now that Karr is really comfortable at narration -- and really good at it -- that she will do some more. She is one of my all-time favorite authors.
"Recovery from Alcoholism Story - Not Much More"
I read Mary Karr's "Cherry" and thought it quite good - witty, sad, interesting, a page turner. So I decided to get this one. I didn't read the description because I was fairly sure I would like anything she wrote. Well, she has a wonderful way with words, but unless you are personally in recovery or perhaps a current drinker who is flirting with the idea of quitting, the book is not really all that interesting. Halfway through I was beginning to wonder how much longer I could bear to listen to her endless self-pity, self-criticism, and whinging about what a bad mother she was to her toddler. The market is already quite saturated (pun intended) with these womens' memoirs about getting sober - think "Turnabout" as a classic (and better) example, or Susan Powter's book about her own struggle with the demon drink. This one doesn't seem to offer anything those don't, save for a beautiful or creative turn of phrase here and there.
The best part of the book, in my opinion, is the author's digressions about her wacky mother. Drinking problems are a dime-a-dozen, but not everyone has a senior citizen mother who would use the phrase "I'm locked and loaded for bear," to her boyfriend's threatening babymama. That, and others, just cracked me right up. Ms. Karr is also queen of the poetic simile; alas, none spring to mind at the moment, and although I haven't read any of her poetry, I am sure it is quite good.
Overall, however, the story is tiresome: fortunate, brilliant woman who has managed to scrabble her way out of her "trailer park existence" (her words) drinks too much and finally gets sober and starts believing in god. Blech. Also, with my apologies to the author, I don't think she was the best choice to read this extended essay. Her voice drips with bitterness, sarcasm, scorn, and contempt, even when she is talking about the NICE things that happened to her. It's hard to listen to after a while.
Get this from your local library; don't waste your credits.

"Unbelievablely moving"
Listening to this, I came to live in the author's struggles and triumphs. It had me in tears at the end. I wanted it to go on and on. I recommend it in the strongest terms possible.
"Rule #1: Authors should not narrate their own work"
Mary Karr's is not an unfamiliar nor unsympathetic story: a poet/wife/mother/alcoholic struggles with her disease while trying to manage her life. Often witty, sometimes downright funny, and certainly well written, the volume suffers from lack of editing; we get anecdote after anecdote of Karr getting drunk, managing to find her way home and berating herself. Rinse and Repeat. It gets tiring and tiresome. In terms of listening, I stand by my conviction that it is the VERY rare author who reads his/her work well. The narration is unpolished and at times halting. If you must read this book, I'd buy it in paper.
"Well written but self indulgent."
This well written book is annoyingly narrated by the author. Her "tough girl" voice is irritating, particularly in the beginning. It sounds as if the publisher walked into a biker bar and picked one of the patrons to read this book.
That being said, the author is a skilled storyteller and a master at metaphor. However, the book is little more than a well written, self indulgent diary of what she seems to feel are her justified failures after a childhood she, more than anyone else, feels was the worst ever. Though I thought the book was well written, I was not terribly absorbed in the story. One could hear the same thing by attending a few AA meetings.

I have two small colonies. One is a one month old nuc that is on 5 frames. The other hive started 6 weeks ago as a captured swarm.
My concern is in regard to the swarm colony. I went for 4 weeks with out seeing any brood. I was excited when I finally saw brood a week and a half ago. However when I insected to day I noticed a lot of the cells were sticking out because drones were developing in them.
I want to watch it just a little longer to see if this happens to all of the brood cells when they are caped. If this is the case then I know I have either a bad queen or laying workers.
If I have laying workers would it work to combine this hive with my other hive ? Would the bees from the swarm colony accept the queen from the nuc hive?

Black Forest Fire: 9 a.m. news conference update
Friday, June 14, 2013
Colorado Springs - Feeling much better today. That is the message Sheriff Terry Maketa relayed at this morning's Black Forest Wildfire press conference. The weather gave firefighters an upper hand as they work to contain the deadly blaze that's destroyed over 370 homes, and has burned as many as 15,000 acres. Emergency crews are still working on hot spots on all sides of the fire. Crews on the inside are also working on flare-ups and hotspots. Officials say they did not loose any more structures Thursday night, nor did they loose any more land to the fire. Today, they are keeping a close eye on the weather, but firefighters say if they can continue the trend, they could be reaching a turning point, in gaining ground and containing and putting out the fire.
Helicopters and heavy aircraft will remain in the area, to help fight the flames.
The death toll stands at two, as reported yesterday. The victims have not been identified yet.
By the numbers:
38,000 People Impacted
93,000 Acres Impacted
13-15,000 Acres Burned
379 Homes Destroyed
Right now, the evacuation areas remain the same, although officials will be re-evaluating those areas in the morning, depending on how the firefighting efforts go today.
Police are patrolling evacuated areas, and are on the look-out for looters. They did not get any calls in last night, regarding looting.
The next press conference will be at 5:00 pm Friday evening.

News Report: 50,000 See Led Zeppelin in Bay City
The British rock group Led Zeppelin drew 50,000 rock fans who paid $320,000 at Kezar Stadium last weekend. Although the 2 ½ hour show Saturday was 6,000 short of capacity, listeners blanketed the football field and stands. Hundreds of others heard the music for free from rooftops in the surrounding neighborhood.
A month ago, Led Zeppelin grossed $309,000 to shatter the Beatles' mark in 1965. Organizers said the group netted better than $1,000 per minute during the show here. It was the second large rock concert in a week at Kezar. The only casualties reported were some bad drug trips, a broken leg and a security guard accidentally wounded with his own revolver.
More than 250 cars were towed away from illegal parking areas around the stadium, police reported.

Acid and sunshine
I went with four friends, all of us 16 years old. I don't remember how we got there, but we were some of the first through the door. I remember running, carrying an old sleeping bag to mark our ground. We were 100' from center stage and when we settled down we all dropped acid. As we waited for the opening band frisbees were flying everywhere. People were cool. Everyone was cool. What a huge difference from later concerts where people are so rude. I saw fist fights at a Peter Gabriel concert in the Polo Field in 1988 or so. That was my last big concert. But back to Zeppelin, my first big concert: when The Tubes came on stage they were all dressed in wild clothes. Fee Waybill, the lead singer, was wearing what seemed to be aluminum foil (probably tin foil in those days) and wore boots that never lifted off the stage. They had springs and accordion pleats so that they stretched as he walked. In my acid I thought they were the Devil! They blew me away. They were NOTHING like the clownish party band they later became. They were serious and very, very strange in 1973.
Then everything changed when Lee Michaels came on stage with his Robert Plant hair and cut-off jeans. He was all smiles and happy sunshine. It was a triumphant set and brought me up from hell.
Then some old guy sat on the edge of the stage and sang a song about flying west and how the plane follows the sunrise. I had NO idea who he was and the crowd was not very accepting. So Robert Plant came out and told the crowd that the guy was "the English Bob Dylan" and then we listened a little more quietly, but not much. I learned much later that the old guy was the great Roy Harper. I should have paid attention.
Then a long time and more acid and more frisbees and joints passing in all directions. People were cool. Everyone was so cool and friendly and smiling and happy and peaceful and passing joints.
And then the stage crew started testing the sound system for Led Zeppelin. They played a new Stevie Wonder song over and over and over. The song was "Big Brother" and I didn't hear it again for 30 years. It's playing now as I write this. It was LOUD and beautiful at Kezar in 1973. So beautiful, that harmonica.
OK, here is how I recall the sound system. I don't know how much of this is real and how much was acid and joy. It was an array of speakers mounted on towers about 50 feet high. There were hundreds of speakers. And the towers pivoted left and right so that the sound could be swept across the crowd. When it swept past me it made my bones vibrate. I can still feel that strange sensation. "Your name is Big Brother, you say that you're watching me on the telly, seeing me going no where..." Oh Stevie!
And then there was clapping and shouting and "there's Jimmy!" and he was walking around the back of the stage is a bright white jump suit. And then Robert Plant walked over to stage left and took some photos on a 35mm camera.
And then the show started and it was, yeah, it was. My friends and I left before the final song. But as we rode the city bus to the foot of the Bay Bridge to hitchhike home we could hear the music for what seemed to be miles. It must have been one of the loudest shows ever played. We were still rocking on the bus with the windows down and full of cool people. Everyone was cool.

Will definitely look into the wallpaper scissors. Thanks for the tip!
thinks for the info...I am always looking for a good pair of long lasting scissors.
I thought you were supposed to cut wallpaper with a paring knife? Stick the putty knife into the fold at the ceiling, and then cut with a paring knife...I guess I've been doing it the wrong way, LOL. I tried regular cheap scissors on wallpaper, didn't work. I'll have to get a pair of these.
Another inexpensive trick for those that are living with significant others and children. I went to the dollar store and bought a BUNCH of scissors. Look like my sewing scissors but are $1. I put them EVERYwhere in the house. In the kitchen, in the desk, by the computer. I even put a nail in the kitchen wall and hung a pair of kitchen scissors on it. You use it and then hang it back on the nail. It sure did help. I did this after hiding my good sewing scissors and then couldn't find where I hid them. hahaha. They did show up months later after buying more scissors. lol
I recently bought a tool box and added a Master Lock with key. This was after DD used scissors to cut photographs. Talk about dull-fabric just slides to the side.
I went onto eBay and replaced the scissors that were ruined. I love my little tool box, but since I bought it I see Sears has pink toolboxes. That may be on my Christmas list.
Thanks for the tip. I guarded my scissors and yet my husband used my best shears to cut insulation- fiberglass no less. He learned his lesson though when he had to replace my shears and set him back $35 in 70s $$. No longer married LOL!!! Now when I sew I know my scissors will be where I put them and in the condition I left them. Never heard of wallpaper scissors before your tip. I always learn stuff on this board. It's the best.
me too :thumbup::pscissor guard. let them buy you new fabric scissors and they usually ask first (not really)just have an abundance of dollar store scissors on the magnetic strip

text: I got my Andromeda in 2006 and sold it last year......I created many amazing patches on the synth over the years, yet most of them were hard come by. My relationship with the Andromeda was very much a love hate thing which was based on the user interface not the sound. The Andromeda, for me, was not enjoyable to program. As to the type of sound....it has the Moog and Oberheim style filters but those are names and do little to suggest the sonic capabilities of this synth and actually sounds nothing like either of those. It has a unique voice of its own....ok 16 voices and though I was often at odds with the Andromeda it was definitely "Worth the Effort"

Zebrie Sanders from Florida State.
Zebrie Sanders from Florida State.
Not convinced OT is that big a need. Think interior OL may be more important.
Depth everywhere still important too.
That is just one guy I like, but I think whomever is the best available OL that is definately what we go with. After all, most of the guys can be shifted to suit whatever we pick up.
I'd rather get Allen and run a dominant 21/22 offensive scheme. Allen and Bennett on the edges are more than enough help to our OTs.
My body was sculpted to the proportions of Michelangelo's David.
I would rather they not draft one player to help another, but rather a player than can handle his own. They'll likely grab a TE late for depth and call it good.
A good line opens up the run and passing game. The Giants have good enough receivers to allow even an average TE to succeed in the offense.

I'm looking for some help before I place my order. Perhaps someone that has a jacket with a similar build can help me with sizing the jacket.
I am 6' 2" and 190 lbs. According to the ultrabreeze sizing My length of 22.5" to beltline is well taken care of by a medium length of 30". Likewise, my gut measurement is 40" and the medium jacket allows for a 52" gut. Plenty of slack I think? For the spine to wrist I am 34.5" and a medium allows for 36". By all rights, I should be fine with a medium if these jackets are made in the same way. It just seems odd that all of my T-Shirts are always Large or Extra Large, but the gut size on a large ultrabreeze is 56"!
I want to be comfortable and "slacky" for bending but I don't want to look like the Stay Puff Marshmallow man either!
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Mighty River Power said one of is directors, Jon Hartley, would step down from the board because of delays to the state-owned enterprise's initial public offer.
Hartley, who has been a director since November 2009, said the decision to step down was a difficult one, brought about by the revised timing of the initial public offer (IPO) creating workload clashes with his other commitments. His resignation is effective from February 20.
"Unfortunately, I have commitments to a number of self-funded overseas engagements with World Vision International and its micro finance subsidiary, VisionFund International, of which I am vice chair," Hartley said in a statement.
Hartley has been involved with VisionFund International since 2003. Mighty River's chairwoman Joan Withers said the board accepted Hartley 's resignation "with regret".
Late last year, Prime Minister John Key said the IPO and listing of Mighty River would be delayed until the second quarter of this year to give the Government more time to consult with iwi over the "shares-plus" concept.
In its interim report, the Waitangi Tribunal said the allocation of special power company shares with additional financial and governance rights attached, could be a way to address Maori claims over water.
Meanwhile the Maori Council has taken its bid to halt the Mighty River sale to the Supreme Court.
At the heart of the council's case is the claim that the sale of up to 49 per cent of shares in Mighty River and other hydro and geothermal electricity generators will compromise the Government's ability to compensate for any successful Maori freshwater claims.
The Government hopes to receive the court's decision before February 18 in order to meet its timetable to sell Mighty River shares before June. Mighty River was to have been partially privatised late last year.

UTSA visiting scholar Ely Kozminsky conducts research on enhancing literacy development
(June 17, 2009)--Ely Kozminsky, professor of cognitive psychology at Ben Gurion University in Beersheba in the Negev, Israel, has chosen to divide his time between the University of Pittsburgh's Learning, Research and Development Center and The University of Texas at San Antonio's College of Education and Human Development during his sabbatical. Ben Gurion University resembles UTSA in that it is about the same age, a relatively new institution, and attracts minority and first-generation college students.

Kozminsky is being hosted by Rosalind Horowitz, UTSA professor of discourse and literacy studies, who lectured at Ben Gurion University in 2000. They have continued their communication -- and transnational collaboration over many years.
Kozminsky trained as a cognitive psychologist at the University of Colorado at Boulder with Walter Kintsch, one of the world's eminent theoreticians and groundbreaking researchers in cognitive psychology and reading processes. Kozminsky's research in paragraph sequencing and text comprehension was a significant dissertation in the field of text processing. He has continued the study of how to enhance high-level reading comprehension for more than 30 years and the mentoring of many doctoral students.
Kozminsky came to UTSA to work with Horowitz as he designed a book on the development of reading comprehension (in Hebrew) for parents who reside in Israel, many of whom are immigrants and have moved several times across geographic regions. This volume will include the latest experimental research findings in ways that are meaningful and useful for parents to process. The book promises to incorporate an engaging narrative structure and literary works to illustrate its arguments and methods for guiding reading development.
Additionally, he is collaborating with Horowitz on the Border Literacy Project, which examines the role and value of movement across physical borders on the changing fabric of reading --- cognition, motivations and habits -- of adolescent populations with particular attention to teens who cross the U.S.-Mexico border as well as other international borders.
To further explore literacy development, Kozminsky's research explores how categories of graphic organizers, especially variations of concept maps, might assist text processing while reading, and now with Horowitz, how graphic organizers can facilitate high school and college student composing processes while writing. He presented a theoretical discussion of graphic organizers in Horowitz' C&I 5743 Seminar, Reading in the Secondary Schools, at the Downtown Campus, a class designed for improving the teaching of reading.
With graduate students, he also has been researching how new technology products affect literacy development (e.g. e-books read by kindergartners) and how word processors and the Internet environment change the processes of learning and writing.

Tracking said mine was expected to arrive on the 19th, but I got it today, the 15th. So, not TOO terrible.
The chocolate is quite good and, as expected, very dark. The boxes are pretty too.
Mine was scheduled for the 18th, but arrived today. Had some odd condensation (likely from changing weather and the long-ish voyage) on the outside of the box, which was also apparent on some of the wrappers. I'm hoping it hasn't made its way through the foil to the chocolate. I tried one of the bars that had the external condensation, and it seemed alright. So far, I'm happy with the product, but not super thrilled about the shipping conditions.
Not my favorite shipping experience. Mine arrived in town yesterday (Tuesday the 15th) and is scheduled to arrive on the 17th (Saturday).
Having alcohol delivered is too much of a PITA, and based on this shipping experience, I think I'm also done with wine.woot. But best luck to those involved and continuing to use the service.
I guess I'm used to slow shipping from wine.woot. I was slightly concerned about the fact that this was being sent stupid post and is chocolate, but it arrived today. No obvious problems with the product, aside from the fact that it's disappearing too quickly into my mouth.
Wow, this chocolate is amazing!
Got mine today, figured I would after watching the tracking. Great chocolate but you damn sure aren't going to sit and eat bar after bar.
Anyone know if this stuff will be sold outside wine.woot anytime soon? It is quite tasty, and I'm hoping to get more when this batch runs out.
Just got mine and tried a piece. The only other good chocolate I've had was Lindt 70%. This was much smoother. The Lindt had a much more harsh and acidic quality to it, and was also much more bitter. I also noticed that when melted, it didn't have the heavy, sticky mouthfeel that I've noticed with pretty much every other chocolate I've had (I didn't want a glass of milk when I was done...I wanted more!). There's almost a tannin quality to it. Good stuff and I would definitely buy it again for this price. I would prefer to be able to buy less, if only for the fact that I will have a lot of trouble not eating it all in a week.
better than lindt. this is primo product. 100%. i'm uttery impressed. i knew a guatemalan guy who was kind of a jerk. this makes up for it.
A guinea pig had commented that this chocolate ran circles around Green & Black 70% and I started salivating on the spot, as G&B is my preferred chocolate at the moment. (Well, actually, Andre's is, but I can't get their stuff very often.)
Alas, this chocolate has a higher melting point than G&B (rather waxy), and flavor is NOT as robust and complex. Even Ghirardelli double chocolate chips (65% or so) are preferable to my palate... we plan on using the rest on strawberries...
Got my chocolate today. Wow, THIS IS GOOD STUFF! Thanks Woot for another great offering. I have NEVER gone wrong with buying a food item on Woot. (Can't say the same about wine though, plenty of bombs there). Keep it up, Woot!
This is really quality stuff. Anyone know where to purchase more?
Hmm... Still yet to receive mine... Hmm....
Kao1138 wrote:The price per bar comes to $2.499_ before shipping or $2.999_ including shipping which seems steep but as far as I can tell is actually not that bad of a deal for a shipped premium bar of chocolate.
Just one example compare to Lindt, a very well known and regarded brand, which is $3.50 - $8.00 per bar.
You need to learn how to shop. I buy Lindt 90% Cocoa bars (3.5 ounces) on sale for $1.50 at my local Walgreens about once a month.
