Deficit Commission chair to kids: You need to focus more on debt and less on Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg
posted at 10:15 pm on March 7, 2011 by Allahpundit
Words to live by, my friends, uttered here at 2:00 by a man I think of as part fiscal prophet, part Sheen-esque verbal shaman, and part "Walter, the grumpy old puppet." My own preference has always been for Poop Dogg but there's no denying the enema man's talent. He's got excellent, er, "flow."
The clip's long but worth watching in full, not merely because Simpson is cantankerously entertaining but because, as both a Democrat and a fierce deficit hawk, Erskine Bowles is a mythical creature come to life. Watch him lay into the insanity of our current budget "debate" at the very beginning. A new poll from The Hill shows that 95 percent of likely voters consider the national debt a somewhat or very important problem, a heartening sign that the public really has woken up to the gravity of the situation. Now all we need are solutions. A new idea to curb annual spending from Democrat Mark Udall and a tea-party-wooing Orrin Hatch:
In a major development on spending cuts, Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah and Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado are introducing a proposal for a new congressional committee focused only on eliminating duplicative and wasteful government spending…
The committee itself would consist of six Republicans and six Democrats. At least once a year, the committee would introduce legislation to reduce or eliminate duplicative or wasteful programs that would receive an up-or-down vote under the "reconciliation" rules that prevent a filibuster…
The Hatch-Udall team backing the bill also changes the landscape for a proposal once thought to only have a chance at passing the House. Now that the bill is "live" in the Senate, it could give momentum to the companion measure introduced in the House by freshman Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina.
I like it. Trimming the fat from redundant spending won't balance the budget, but it should be hugely popular politically. And the more popular it is, the more leeway the committee might have to expand its jurisdiction beyond duplicative spending to look at discretionary (and nondiscretionary?) spending generally. It's important to institutionalize the ethos of budget cuts, I think. A one-time deal, even on entitlement reform, can halt the inertia towards government bloat but unless there are institutional checks on it, it'll eventually start grinding again. It pains me to say that more bureaucracy is better, but if it's bureaucracy aimed at targeting the rest of the bureaucracy, at least it serves some virtuous end.

Enumerating the 'hidden' IP addresses using port 0?
Its information gathering tools discovered a lot of pertinent data.
It correctly identified:
my eth0 MAC.
my wlan0 MAC.
my firewall rules (using iptables -L -n -v -t filter).
my operating system (using uname -a).
the name of my computer (but not the user name).
my programs listed as ESTABLISHED or LISTENING (using netstat)
For example:
"By connecting to the remote host via SSH with the supplied credentials, this plugin enumerates network interfaces configured with IPv4 addresses."
- 127.0.0.1 (on interface lo)
- 93.xxx.xxx.xxx (on interface ppp0) -
- 128.xxx.xxx.xxx (on interface wlan0)
Nessus gathers this information by sending the queries mentioned earlier (like uname -a) to port 0.
I first assumed that this would be an excellent tool to identify a person as it reveals their real IP (if they are 'hiding' behind a VPN) assuming that wlan0 is not a 192.168.x.x address).
However, I then thought that the 'real' IP address can only be gathered as I was scanning myself.
I need to test this but am I correct to think that if one outward-facing IP uses Nessus to scan a different outward-facing IP then they would not get the 'real' IP addresses like I did when I scanned myself.
I don't see, for example, how commands like uname and iptables can be run on remote machines across the Internet because, if so, the whole idea of VPNs is rendered pointless.

It was recommended to replace the calibers. I know they are getting bad due to the fact I replaced the front brakes days before. Just wondering if anyone replaced their calibers, and if they are using OEM calibers or aftermarket/high performance ones.

When the factory jobs disappear, what comes next?
That's one of the most important economic questions America has confronted over the last decade-plus where are the new industries, the new big ideas, the new jobs that should be springing up to replace the millions of manufacturing jobs lost to outsourcing and automation?
President Obama hasn't had much success cultivating a big new sector to fill that vacuum. Now, his administration is trying something small. It's a pilot program to encourage new industry development in cities that have shed factory jobs. And the new industry it seeks to develop is yep manufacturing.
Obama's acting commerce secretary, Rebecca Blank, announced a small-bore program Wednesday that hopes to plant the seeds of new, advanced manufacturing activity in cities across the country. (If the goal sounds familiar, it is Obama has been preaching the virtues of advanced manufacturing since he first ran for president, like so many other American politicians.)
This year, the program will offer grants to 20 to 25 communities, of about $200,000 each, to write "strategic plans" for their advanced manufacturing futures. The plans are supposed to say what each region is good at, what sort of product it might become a manufacturing hub for, and what federal help the region needs to make that happen. Blank calls that investing in "industrial ecosystems."
"What we're trying to do is give communities an incentive to change their thinking to think, how do we attract new investment? instead of coping with the loss of manufacturing," she said.
Obama's 2014 budget proposes giving five or six of those communities grants of about $20 million each, to help make their manufacturing infrastructure dreams come true.
It's a relatively small amount, and Blank didn't exactly raise expectations that it will lead to millions of new factory jobs, especially because manufacturing today is far less labor-intensive than it used to be.
But she hopes the proposals will set off a happy chain of activity in cities that have been beset by job losses, with new factory work driving more business activity (and job creation) to support it, along with new research that could lead to new industries.
"There are a lot of reasons to want more advanced manufacturing located in the United States beyond just job creation," she said. "And the most important one is, advanced manufacturing is often on the cutting edge of research and development."
Problem is, America is staring at a huge factory employment void and needs a lot of job creation to fill it. University of Chicago economists recently found that manufacturing employment declines explain half of the increase in joblessness among men without college degrees in the past 10 years.
The dominant industry that replaced those jobs, in the mid-2000s, was housing. And that was driven by a bubble, which popped.

Year-round service
Sun, sea and sand – the islands of the Bahamas have plenty of each. But in action-packed Nassau, you'll also find vibrant local culture, a cosmopolitan dining scene and a gracious lifestyle reflective of the country's colonial past.
Many of the most famous buccaneers once roamed these crystal-clear waters, though these days you're more likely to find giant cruise ships and sleek yachts than schooners sailing the Jolly Roger.
Nassau is located on little New Providence Island. This 207 sq. km island is a former coral reef, perched right in the middle of the Bahamas' 700 islands amid 260,000 sq. km of blue water.
In downtown Nassau, you can still see many of the 18th century fortresses, churches and elegant colonial homes painted in cheerful pastel shades of pink, yellow, green and blue. You can also see another aspect of the city's heritage in the Junkanoo celebrations that evolved from African traditions.
As the country's centre of government and home to a lucrative banking industry, Nassau attracts a long list of celebrity residents. The rich and famous are drawn by the tax- and duty-free bargains just as much as the cruise-ship passengers wandering through the jewelry and perfume shops along Bay Street.
Also a major draw – especially for families – are the grand resorts that line Cable Beach just west of Nassau and the over-the-top fantasy of the large Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, located across the bridge from Nassau Harbour.
Nassau is a fantastic destination for:
- beaches
- snorkeling and diving
- shopping and dining

Top 10 Wardrobe Malfunctions Of 2012 — Sofia Vergara, Anne Hathaway & More
From Sofia's epic Emmy's butt baring to Anne's unfortunately upskirt, we take a look at the top 10 wardrobe malfunctions of the year!
Oh what a year it was — from Sofia Vergara's butt to Robert Pattinson's unzipped fly, no celeb — male or female — was safe from the worse malfunction this year. Click through the gallery and VOTE on the worst!
The most recent malfunction victim was Anne Hathaway, who exposed, well, everything, at the Dec. 10 NYC premiere of her film Les Miserables. While promoting the film on Today on Dec. 12, she spoke out to host Matt Lauer:
"Well, it was obviously an unfortunate incident — I think it made me sad on two accounts. One was that I was very sad that we live in an age when someone takes a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment, and rather than delete it and do the decent thing, sells it. And I'm sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies sexuality in order to make a profit."
While Anne made the situation a much deeper issue, Sofia kept it light, proving she has a great sense of humor.
When her dressed ripped at the Emmy's on Sept. 23, she tweeted a photo for all the world to see to prove she isn't perfect (although we still think she is) and then went on Ellen's Halloween episode to surprise Ellen, who was dressed as Sofia!
Sofia said, "You look ridiculous!" Ellen responded, "I feel sexy!"

text: I've always wondered something about jumps but don't have the technical knowledge. Surely someone here can help! When skaters do jumps, whether front entry or back entry, they seem to exit backwards. Do they ever exit frontwards? Is it possible? Could someone do a 2 1/2 axel, for instance? If it is possible, why don't they do it now? I may have dreamt this but I thought there was a time in earlier years when the jumps were very different (in terms of rotation not posture). Any help appreciated!

text: How many of you struggle with this? I heard a song on the radio today that brought me to tears. I spend better than half of my year away from the place I call "home". I am wondering, how do you deal with it. I grew up in this, it was semi normal for me that my father was in another state for 4 or 5 months out of the year. I am now closing in on my 7th and I am having a hard go of it. I was just wondering how others deal.

Moni is a tiny little hillside village scoping about 500 metres alongside the main road. Not much seems to happen here, and any news is big news, including where two blow-in tourists choose to take their accommodation. Actually, this choice seemed to be made for us when the Bemo stopped outside a particular guest-house and our bags automatically became unloaded. So I used the 3 Indonesian words I've so far mastered (Beer, Toilet, & How much?) to explain that we would tell them where in the village we wanted to stay. Our bags were reluctantly returned to the bus. A 100m further on I left John to fend off the barrage of people wanting our sleeping rupiah and crossed the road to investigate the 'luxury' guesthouse in which we wanted to stay. As it turned out, this was full, so naturally I asked the (Dutch) local where the next best place was and returned to assist John, who by now was reaching for his umbrella (yes, he really does carry one!) in order to defend himself from the onslaught. The owners of the guesthouse opposite to where we wanted to stay became increasingly vocal as we headed away from them, a few "tourist advisers" in tow.
We'd barely placed our bags in the rooms when a nice woman approached us and asked that I return to speak to her husband, the Dutch man from the 'luxury' guesthouse. Walking back up the road I hoped that the crowd gathering ahead were simply waiting for a bus, sadly, no. Peter, the Dutch man, explained that the guesthouse owners across the road were accusing him of deterring tourists from them and that the crowd was here to watch his execution, could I please explain the truth to them? Well the crowd seemed content enough with my explanation of wanting to stay in a peaceful, non-confronting place, as opposed to being dragged in through the doors of the place opposite, but those owners weren't interested. It was only after accepting a Bintang from Peter that he asked if I'd seen the machete beneath the jacket of male guesthouse owner, I hadn't.
Peter explained that tourism had fallen to about a third that of pre 9/11, and though he'd been married to a local Indonesian woman for 7 years, he & his euros were still often viewed with contempt and jealousy.
As the sunset, John & I set out down the road to explore the rest of the town. Returning 10 minutes later, task completed, I settled in for a delicious meal of Gado-gado and an early night before our 4am start to Kelimutu to see the coloured volcanic lakes - the reason Moni exists.
Well, by 5am the bemo taking us up to Kelimutu still hadn't arrived, so we returned to bed. Following breakfast, we were able to move into the 'luxury' guesthouse as well as negotiate a truck ride up to the volcanoes for a little over 3 times the regular fare (A$8), it was worth it though, the volcanic crater-lakes are beautiful (even better than Rotorua NZ).
We walked the 10kms back down to Moni, stopping for a hot-spring bath amongst the rice fields and to show some children their photos on my digital camera. Back at the guesthouse we started planning our escape. The following morning, however, we received a request to attend the local police station to give evidence on the previous day's arguments! Not impressed, and not wanting to miss our bus out, we took our time to pack first, and thankfully the arguments were resolved before we made it to the police station. I was glad to be crammed in amongst the chickens and bags of rice, bussing out of this too small village.

[quote user="dezzzR"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"]its just funny how this debate has turned
black people use to always make arguments about how its ****ed up if a white kid goes missing its news and bla bla bla. Now its like white people trying to make a thing of it.
Im taking the race out of it when i look at this. I just see a kid murdered because some ****** bag had a power complex of power he didn't really have and it seems like there may of been a cover up with the police ****ing up the investigation.<u> I don't care what color any of them are</u> or why its a national topic. At the end of the day I think its a good thing its a topic any time light is shed on something of this nature - its a positive
go watch Patrice ONeals elephant in the room standup hour. It hits on this topic
[/quote]But African Americans do!! Thats why Al and Jessie are there. intentionally or not, they are inciting more racism.
so what? So you feel you need to come to defend the white people on this?
lol thanks bro, i'm good, u can just speak for yourself on this matter. And by doing that, it makes u just as bad as them
IF you want to be annoyed at the Al and Jessies of the world thats fine, but it makes u stray from the point at hand. Your letting your political and racial issues cloud all of that.
And make no mistake about it, if this was a black shooter on a white kid the outcry would be the same. Its how it is, deal with it. Just be happy that the details of this didn't get swept under the rug like it seemed it might have. The attention was a positive in this case

I have a lot of the frames on the picture and use them foundationless.
The spacers are hard plastic tubes that are nailed on to the sides of the frames.
I want to go small cell and read that you could get a good result and more eaven comb by reducing the frame width to 32mm.
I meassured ten frames and they are 33.8mm wide. After I used the hammer on the spacers the width got down to 32.8.
Do you think this is enough, or should I change the spacers so that the with of the frames will be 32mm?

Ringo Starr
Starr continued to issue widely released albums through 1981, though with diminishing success. His 1983 effort, Old Wave, did not find a U.S. distributor. Starr was also suffering from the excesses of his lifestyle, but by the late '80s he had cleaned up his act and put together a new lineup, the "All-Starr Band," which toured in 1989. Featuring a rotating lineup of high-profile musicians -- Joe Walsh, Nils Lofgren, and Levon Helm among them -- the "All-Starr Band" went on to tour multiple times during the following two decades. Ringo Starr never forgot about his solo career, however, and in 1992 he signed to Private Music and released a new studio album, Time Takes Time. He also made something of a comeback with 1998's Vertical Man -- his first album for Mercury -- which was released after the surprising success of the Beatles' Anthology project. The world had seemingly rediscovered its love for the Beatles, and Vertical Man cracked the charts in Europe and America, making it Ringo's most commercially successful record since the 1970s. A live album culled from his performance on the VH1 Storytellers series was also released in 1998.
Starr's first seasonal effort, I Wanna Be Santa Claus, appeared in 1999. Two studio records appeared during the early 2000s: Ringorama from 2003 and Choose Love from 2005, both of them released by the Koch label. In 2006 he made a guest appearance on Jerry Lee Lewis' album Last Man Standing and toured with another edition of his All-Starr Band, this time featuring Sheila E. and Edgar Winter. The 2007 release PBS Soundstage Live featured a show recorded two years earlier in Chicago. Also released in 2007 was the definitive Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr.
Ringo toured with his tenth All-Starr ensemble in 2008, populating the lineup with past participants (Colin Hay, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart, and Edgar Winter) and new additions (keyboardist Gary Wright and drummer Gregg Bissonette). A Surround Sound collection of tracks from Ringorama and Choose Love, 5.1: The Surround Sound Collection, appeared in 2008, as did his 14th studio album, Liverpool 8. Two years later, he returned with Y Not, whose lead single found Ringo duetting with former bandmate Paul McCartney. Ringo 2012, his 17th solo album, appeared in 2012, and featured guest spots from Charlie Haden, Van Dyke Parks, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Dave Stewart, Benmont Tench, Joe Walsh, Don Was, and Edgar Winter, among others.
Three years later came Postcards from Paradise, the first record featuring collaborations with his touring All-Starr Band. Just prior to its release, it was announced that Starr would be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. ~ William Ruhlmann & J. Scott McClintock

Parents have hundreds of interactions with their children on an average day. What really counts is making the most of this time — showing positive attention and enjoying those daily moments with your child.
Positive attention is the way you show delight in your child and warmth in your relationship through:
You have opportunities to give your child positive attention in your everyday interactions together.
Right from the beginning, it's critical that children have experiences and relationships that show them they are valued, capable human beings who bring pleasure to others. Positive attention, reactions and responses from key grown-ups help children build a picture of how valued they are.
A child's self-image (or self-concept) is built over time with positive, loving messages from their mum, dad and other important people. A healthy self-image is very important, not only for a child's relationship with others, but also for confidence as they learn about the world.
Children's feelings of security and safety come from their interactions with parents and other grown-ups who care for them. When children are frightened, uncertain or faced with a new or unfamiliar situation, they'll look to you for reassurance and support to feel safe and secure.
In some extreme cases, where parents are regularly distracted or unavailable to focus on their babies' needs, babies can become distressed. Research has shown that if this happens over a period of time, beginning at infancy, babies as young as six months can show signs of stress.
From the moment they're born, children are paying attention to what you say and do – and, perhaps even more so, how you say and do it.
Even newborns are ready to relate, communicate and learn from everything and everybody around them. The more you respond and initiate communication with babies, the more they benefit.
You can respond to newborn efforts to communicate by:
Babies, toddlers and older children
As your child gets older, your words and actions combine to give your child important messages.
It's not realistic or even normal to be positive all the time. Children are quite capable of coping when their parents are occasionally insensitive, unavailable or distracted.
But when most, or even many, daily interactions are negative and distressing, or a parent is finding it hard to feel or act positively, this is frequently a sign of stressed parenting. If you find yourself in this situation, it's worth seeking professional help and advice.

HILLSVILLE — A 34-year-old Hillsville woman faces charges, one a felony, involving an incident with a loaded rifle going off in the back of a vehicle, according to Hillsville police.
It happened Dec. 1 when Joanna Reagan Gardner stopped at the Gulf station on South Main Street after picking up an unidentified juvenile to play with her children, according to Police Chief Greg Bolen.
HILLSVILLE — Solving the grand larceny of a 1993 Ford Fiesta might also lead to other crimes being resolved, according to the Hillsville police chief.
HILLSVILLE — Alcohol played a part in a wreck and injury involving a moped on East Grayson Street on Nov. 29 at about 4 p.m., according to a police report.
Hillsville Police Department Officer Billy Anauo responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash and found Timothy Glenn Freeman, 47, injured at the scene.
Freeman told the officer that he applied his brakes and started skidding. Freeman lost control and flipped the moped onto its side.
HILLSVILLE — Police have charged a driver who crashed at the 22 mile marker on Interstate 77 at approximately 3 p.m. Monday after a chase, according to law enforcement officials at the scene.
The green Hyundai Tiburon with North Carolina plates was traveling at a high rate of speed when picked up on radar by Carroll Sheriff's Office Sgt. Bobby Lyons.
HILLSVILLE — Virginia State Police say that speed was a factor in a Saturday night crash that killed the 20-year-old driver and seriously injured the passenger.
HILLSVILLE — An apparently intoxicated customer drew the attention of workers at McDonald's first and then police, which lead to several felony charges last Thursday against a 31-year-old Sparta, N.C., man.
Workers at the Interstate 77 Exit 14 area fast food restaurant notified the Hillsville Police Department of a man and a woman who appeared to be intoxicated, according to a news release.
HILLSVILLE — After word that a probation violation would result in an appearance before the magistrate, a 24-year-old Woodlawn woman tried to flee the Carroll County Sheriff's Office on Friday.
Effective Nov. 15, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) made three synthetic phenethylamines illegal drugs under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) for the next two years.
"These drugs are marketed online and through illicit channels as illicit hallucinogens such as LSD," said a news release from the DEA, shared by Grayson County Sheriff Richard Vaughan. "They have been encountered as powders, liquid solutions, soaked onto blotter paper and laced on edible items."
The Better Business Bureau is warning businesses and consumers of a new computer threat that steals information, encrypts the data, and then charges $300 in ransom for recovery of the files.
The ransomware is called CryptoLocker, and is the latest attempt by scammers to hold consumer's and businesses' computer information hostage in order to make a quick buck.
The Galax Police Department has issued a safety advisory after hearing multiple reports of bear sightings in the city during the fall season.
Police received another report the afternoon of Oct. 25, after a citizen spotted a black bear prowling around First Citizens Bank on Cranberry Road in Galax. Further sightings pinpointed the animal heading in the direction of Walmart minutes later.

January 29th is National Puzzle Day and since Valentine's Day gifts are on everyone's minds, MomonDealz has combined the 2 holidays and brought us yet another fun, educational and frugal craft to do with our little ones!!
Popsicle Puzzle Making
Popsicle Sticks
Modge Podge (or I've been told Elmer's Glue and Water works just as well)
Photo/Image of choice
Scissors or Craft Knife
1. Cut image of your child's choice to desired size.
2. Lay picture down and line up popsicle sticks beside it to ensure you have the correct number of sticks.
3. Line the sticks in a row and tape them down on your work space (I used a plastic grocery bag to avoid messes).
4. Apply Modge Podge on the back of the photo/image and glue it to the sticks. Allow to dry.
5. Flip sticks and image over and apply adhesive to the entire back of the sticks. Allow to dry.
6. Using sharp scissors or craft knife, cut the sticks apart.
7. Apply Modge Podge to the front of each individual stick (this will prolong their life in the hands of toddlers). Allow to dry.
Valentine Gift Tags:
I created the tags on Print Shop using an image I found on the internet. Then I cut red circles from card stock and attached the tags to them. Simple! Then we put the the sticks in the goody bags and punched a hole in the tags to attach them to the baggies. We will also add some candy in the bags when we finish them!
Note: You can also tape down the popsicle sticks and have your child color their own picture (depending on their skill level).
*If you don't want popsicle puzzles, you can also purchase blank traditional puzzles and add your images to those as well.
To see the educational activites that coincide with this craft, visit Momondealz HERE.

We had a pleasant stay at margret´s
she was nice and courteous
and the room was clean and comfortable
We thoroughly enjoyed our four nights with Margaret and her lovely dog Bella. She was very thoughtful and helped us learn our way around Glasgow and plan the continuation of our trip even though she wasn't feeling well. We are planning to stay with her again as we travel home. It's just like staying with family!
Very nice, traditional flat. Beautifull and clean room.
Maggie is very nice and halpfull. The best choice ;)
Very nice and familiar apartment, and the hostess was really helpful as friendly.
The apartment was in a area with good bus connections to the city center.
It was just amazing! Maggie is such a nice woman. The room as well as the whole apartment was really cute and clean. We are very thankful that we had such a great start in Glasgow. We can just highly recommend this apartment!
The room is nice, pretty big and very clean. Margaret is such a nice person! She gave me all the informations I needed and she's been kind to me all the time.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Glasgow and Maggie´s home. She is such a kind and helpful person and she has a very nice, little dog. Her flat is really beautiful, very clean and the room she provides is so cozy.
You can reach the city centre and west end within minutes by bus.
I am sure we will book again :)
It was a pleasure to stay at Margaret's home. I was very well treated and the house is beautiful. It definitely worths the money I paid for my stay.
Highly recommended!!!
The room is nice and cozy and Maggie is a very kind person. I liked the fact of enjoying a cup of tea after returning from sightseeing. We had some good conversations and I appreciate all her help.
As written below her flat is located very well. It takes about 10 minutes by bus to get to the city center and not even 5 minutes to Victoria Park in Westend. The apartment is clean and you are even able to use her kitchen if needed.
Thanks for such a pleasant stay Maggie & Bella (her lil puppy). And btw I would rather like to stay with her than in any hotel ;)

Bumpfiring is not illegal. What would you be charged with? Personally I don't believe in going beyond the letter of the law.
I saw an interesting device the other day. It was a crank type trigger for a 10/22 . I know most of them don't work because you end up firing out of battery. This one had a bolt close safety/safety sear incorporated into the trigger pack to prevent the hammer from falling unless the bolt was fully closed. Great idea and they were running out 50 rounds in 5 seconds without fault. Total waste of ammo but totally legal.

Please update us on these three-their health, if two will do Euros? How is Kaetlyn? Any info appreciate,,,
Please update us on these three-their health, if two will do Euros? How is Kaetlyn? Any info appreciate,,,
Here is Osmond's LP at the Skate Canada Challenge recently. She was 5th after the short, but won the long with about 119 points, and ended up winning the whole thing. https://www.facebook.com/KaetlynOsmo...75970219204843
And an article : http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201...ada-challenge/
Kiira Korpi is injured and could not compete at Nebelhorn. The Finnish skater who did compete could not earn a spot for Sochi. Kiira hasn't competed since the GPF last December. I'm not sure if the GP scores from last season count towards the minimum score requirements for 2014 Euros, or even if Kiira is recovered enough to compete at Euros.
Kostner won't skate at Nationals but will skate at Euros in January.
Kiira isn't doing her jumps yet with my last knowledge although training 5-6 times /week on ice. She's going back to states in january. The new national winner Juulia Turkkila will go to Euros.
So Finland has not even one spot for the ladies???? I did not know this. So, it sounds like we will never see her compete again? This is awful, as she really was still growing as an athlete. So little has been said here about her, and that is where I look for news.
I really missed her this season, and Osmund is so charming. I thank you for that link. Does anyone know what exactly is caro's injury and how serious it is? thank you.
I have strong believe in Kiira. In her interviews she hasn't said anything close to quitting but to take it slow with properly healing her injury. Hopefully it'll work out great. I also think that her moving to train in the states was a big thing for her mentally and i think it would bring a lot to her skating. Also Finland can't afford not have her in the picture cause they have no other top skater at the moment..
Oh, this is sad as I also enjoyed very much Laura Lepisto. I know people didn't like it when she won the bronze at Worlds but given that an injury ended her career not long after, I was happy for her, and happy to see destiny or what have you, give her a happy ending. Kiira has grown on me over the years. I like her costumes, always different-more European than NA tastes, but elegant, simple, not overdone. She really is a beautiful vision on the ice. There are so many stunning skaters, and she certainly is one-a good athlete and a maturing artist.
I really hope to see her again and healthy.
Kiira is 25 now and it will not be easy for her to return from the type of chronic injury she has. The injury is painful and the pain is relieved with rest but returns when she returns to full skating activity.
Finland does have a promising junior skater in 13-year-old Jenni Saarinen.
with translator
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8etkXgvvgKiira Korpi thought in October that she will return to train with the United States in December. Now it seems she will return next year. Rehabilitation is well, but I do not want to rush, I talked to my coach Rafael Arutunian, and he agreed, Korpi says. She returned on the ice in early November and has been practising in Helsinki. She is still in pain and feels like an electric shock, but the doctor and a physiotherapist have said that it is a good thing. The pain in this case is a good signal. She is supposed to move slowly towards the basic skating, spins and jumps.
Jenni is the most talented Finnish skater in a long time, alongside Kiira and Laura of course I would say that Jenni is more consistent and talented jumper than K & L ever were. The video posted above doesn't really do justice for her. I saw Jenni in another competition just recently where she skated both her SP and FP perfectly. In an interview she said she would like to be in top 10 in the upcoming junior worlds. Her idols include Kiira (with whom she trained until last Summer) and Gracie Gold.
Here's another talented young Finn (Emmi Peltonen) who won silver at junior nationals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63g2yesxnxU
About Kiira's injury, I really hope she makes full recovery but I'm not too optimistic taking into account the fact that she has been struggling with achilles problems for a few years already.

Apple deal with China Mobile
China has been a vibrant money machine for Apple.
In just four years since opening its first retail Apple Store in 2008 – the market has grown from just a "few hundred million dollars" up to $12.4 billion in sales during the first half of 2012.
Analysts expect that Apple may pass $25 billion by the end of this calendar.
Read somewhere CM wants a piece of the action - Apps revenue sharing in return for access to 1B subscribers. This might be the real reason for the delay.
China Telecom says it plans to begin selling the iPhone 5 in late November or early December, a little earlier than expected.
During Apple's FQ4 call, Tim Cook would only say Apple expects a December Chinese launch.
China Unicom's chairman is more cautious in setting a timetable.
Meanwhile, RBC is predicting Apple will finally reach a deal with China Mobile in 2013, perhaps even before the Chinese New Year.
CNET reports that distributors are bullish on Apple sales for the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini in China, particularly given the lower cost of the Mini relative to its more established, larger predecessor.
Along with Morgan Stanley, Gartner analysts are also bullish on the iPhone 5 launch in China this quarter, according to Apple Insider. The firm expects the holiday quarter will be Apple's strongest, as it usually is for the company.
The new China government is expected to issue 4G LTE licenses for the Chinese market in the second half of 2013. Observers are also praying that Apple can finally secure a distribution deal around the same time with China's largest Telco China Mobile (NYSE:CHL) to carry the iPhone. The two developments would unleash all the 4G phone's gold standard features and presumably lead to a boom in Chinese Apple sales.
As a consumer driven stock with dividend yield and potential Apple upside, China Mobile is a great way to play China.
China Unicom has sold iPhones in China for more than two years now, whereas China Telecom just began offering the iPhones in China early this year and thus has less experience with the product and working with Apple.
But this lengthy delay by the telecoms regulator is starting to look increasingly strange,
China Mobile , has perhaps played an obstructionist role to keep the new iPhone out of China as long as possible to undercut its rivals.
China Telecom may beat Unicom in offering the iPhone 5 first in China, though it won't really matter since the product has already been available globally for more than two months.
Apple's fans on the Chinese mainland have so far had to turn to rival carriers, China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd. and China Telecom Corp., which unveiled iPhone subscriber packages in 2009 and 2012, respectively. Both carriers have based their 3G rollouts on internationally used standards.
Barlcays analyst Anand Ramachandran in Hong Kong cautions investors to think twice before piling into shares of China Mobile, even though he says it's not out of the question that China's dominant telecom could get a deal on the iPhone in 2013.
- [ Ignore ]
Apple Asian news:
1) The iPad Mini has launched to sparse crowds in China. The regular iPad controlled 71% of the Chinese tablet market in Q3, according to Analysys.
2) China Unicom took over 200K iPhone 5 pre-orders in its first 2 days of availability. Unicom is fully subsidizing the phone to those who make a $947 deposit.
3) NTT DoCoMo is facing more pressure to strike an iPhone deal (previous): the top Japanese carrier lost 40.8K subs in November to rivals SoftBank and KDDI.
Apple's Japanese sales rose 113% Y/Y in FQ4
- [ Ignore ]
China Mobile Starts Hong Kong Mobile TV Service to Boost Sales.
The service has both free and paid channels that can run on tablets and smartphones with Google Inc. (GOOG)'s Android system, China Mobile said in statement. The service also works on Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s iPhone using a plug-in receiver called a dongle, the Beijing- based company said.
The "next big thing" from Apple might not be a smartphone, tablet, computer or a television, as countless recent rumors have suggested. It might not even be a service like a Pandora competitor or a new TV service tied to an Apple set-top box. Instead, Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty believes the next big thing for Apple will be a deal.
In the December 10th issue of Forbes magazine, Connie Guglielmo writes that the iPhone's eventual arrival on China Mobile, China's biggest wireless carrier, will be Apple's next big catalyst.
According to Morgan Stanley's Huberty, who is cited a number of times in the article, China Mobile will likely begin carrying the iPhone in the second half of 2013. If Apple's older, low-priced iPhone models are picked up by China Mobile, Huberty thinks Apple stock will explode to as much as $980 a share.
As for me I loaded up with AAPL@502 on December,17.
Interesting that EricMartin and RobertJones have the same IP addresses….
Apple CEO visits China for second time in less than a year:
"Tim is in Beijing meeting with government officials and partners. China is an important market for us and we look forward to continued customer excitement and growth here,"
Apple's spokeswoman in China Carolyn Wu said on Wednesday.
Apple CEO Tim Cook met with China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua today( january 10),
when they discussed "matters of cooperation" and signed a confidentiality agreement. The talks have increased hopes of a breakthrough between the companies that would allow China's largest operator to offer iPhones. Tim Cook said he is confident the country will soon become Apple's largest market, with the company planning to increase the number of stores there to over 25 from 11
Good Trading!Good Trading!
Apple Inc. (AAPL) and China Mobile (CHL): Who Needs Who More?
"Although China Mobile has the largest mobile subscriber base in the world, Apple is unlikely to see but a small fraction of those sales.
The majority of China Mobile subscribers are on pay-as-you-go plans on "dumb phones." These people are members of China's lower and emerging middle classes, and at this point in time do not have anywhere near enough discretionary income to afford Apple wares.
Second, many Chinese customers aching for an Apple phone long ago fled to China Unicom and China Telecom , both of which already offer the iPhone 5. Third, roughly 15 million iPhone users are already on the China Mobile network using unlocked phones and are unable to access the carrier's 3G network.
The second and third point illustrate not only why the benefit of a China Mobile deal for Apple would be limited, but also why such an agreement would be more beneficial for China Mobile. The company islosing lucrative 3G market share to China Unicom and China Telecom. Even if the iPhone's popularity fades in the future, customers that have already switched are unlikely to return to China Mobile, barring a sea change in the mobile phone landscape.
As well, Apple would not see its customer base broaden substantially by having existing iPhone customers on China Mobile's network obtain formal access to the 3G and 4G services. On the other hand, China Mobile would benefit from having an additional 15 million subscribers paying for more lucrative 3G/4G services.
So while Apple would certainly see some new customers as a result of a deal with China Mobile, it's increasingly evident that such a deal would be more beneficial to China Mobile. As a result, look for China Mobile to potentially back down from its revenue sharing demands in negotiations with Apple and see a deal done sooner rather than later."
Apple rolls out China credit facility.

A first view at WebGoat
as promised, I have finally started WebGoat and want to share what I've seen so far with you guys. Being a complete newbie (especially on webapp security), don't take this as 'the truth'. It's all simply my interpretation.
Also: to my regret, I haven't finished all the lessons yet. There are quite a few, and since my gf and I have just moved in together, there is a lot of stuff going on But I hope it gives a nice first glance until I can finish the rest.
What is WebGoat
WebGoat is a J2EE web application, created by the OWASP community to provide a teaching environment for webapplication security.
It is a deliberately insecure program, where you must go through a number of lessons. In each lesson, you learn about a new sort of vulnerability, and in the same moment get a hands-on try at exploiting that vulnerability.
It's completely free, so that's a big up from the start.
The installation on Windows is very straight forward.
As explained at http://www.owasp.org/index.php/WebGoat_Installation, it is simply a matter of
- installing Java and Tomcat (very easy)
- download the WebGoat zipfile and exstract it (easier)
- double click the file "webgoat.bat" (well..)
- go to http://localhost/webgoat/attack
- give the credentials guest/guest
- you're ready to go.
The installation on Linux, OS X or FreeBSD seems just as easy, but I have not tried those.
As digitalcliff pointed out (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,5243.msg26711/#msg26711), there is also a virtual image available if you find this easier. I gave this a quick shot through a live CD I got from OWASP at a conference, and it all worked fine.
I had a small problem though with the webgoat.bat. When I tried to run it, I got an error saying that the default port 80 was already bound. The same went for webgoat8080.bat (another install file), and I couldn't 'unbind' them.
Fortunately this was easy to remedy, so if you come across this:
- Go to the Webgoat folder, into /tomcat/conf/server_80.xml
- Look for the entry <Connector address="127.0.0.1" port="80" ...
- Change 80 to whatever (I made it 81)
- Then go to http://localhost:81/webgoat/attack
Note: on the wiki it says http://localhost/WebGoat/attack (capital W and G), but I had to use small letters to make it work.
I later installed it on a different Windows laptop aswell, and there it all went perfectly smooth.
All in all, even though I had a few small bumps, everything went just fine and easy. If you try it yourself, chances are you won't even have the bumps.
Please also note that (as is mentioned as well in the program itself) that, whiles running WebGoat, your own box is very vulnerable to attack.
So preferably, put your box offline during the excercises.
First lesson: Introduction
Once you have WebGoat up and running, you'll go through a little introduction.
It will explain its goal, structures, etc.. It will tell you how to deploy WebGoat in a class and how to make new WebGoat lessons.
Those last two things weren't of any relevance to me (yet), and I found them a bit oddly placed. But you can ofcourse skip them without worry.
You'll get a quick overview of some useful tools, namely
- WebScarab (an intercepting proxy, with which we can review and modify HTTP requests and responses)
- IEWatch (a tool to analyze HTTP and HTML for users of Internet Explorer)
- Wireshark (a network protocol analyzer)
- Nessus/Paros scanners.
In the lessons that I've done so far, I only really had to use WebScarab. You'll find it a very handy tool which seems to be used frequently (it's also created by OWASP). Further down the road those other tools might come into play ofcourse.
The real lessons
Finally, we're at the lessons themselves.
There are quite a few, as you can see at http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Lesson_Plans
What I can tell you so far:
Don't count on the application to give you all the knowledge you need.
I found that the best way to go through the lessons is to read the lesson plan that comes with each chapter, and then Google for more knowledge.
The lesson plan usually has a nice introduction about the vulnerability in question, and Google can help you get a little deeper once you know what it's about.
Once you've done that, you can try and exploit the vulnerability in the program. You can use the hints, but be careful: when you have clicked on the 'hint' button a few times, the solution pops up (as the last 'hint'), but without warning.
I found this a bit frustrating, since I much rather get all the hints and not stumble upon the solution.
But even if you stumble on the solution, or just don't find it yourself in your first try (as was mostly the case with me) you still will have learned what you set out to: you learn what the vulnerability is, what it looks like, and now that you've seen the solution you might apply it yourself with more ease.
As a bonus, there are video solutions available for every lesson, at http://yehg.net/lab/pr0js/training/webgoat.php. They are very nice to see as a 'double check', and sometimes contain a view of an extra tool or a little trick that you haven't though off. Very nice work on those.
Conclusion so far
Well, that's about all I have to say for now.
I do apologize that I haven't finished all the lessons already. My schedule for the next few weeks is a little more open, so I hope I can finish it all asap. When I do I can write a steady conclusion to the whole thing.
But for now, I hope this will convince my fellow newbies that WebGoat IS something worth looking at. It's a great hands-on way to get a little deeper into that big, curious world of webapp security, and it's free.
Imo, it's pretty awesome that tools and tutorials like this exist. Thank you OWASP! (and so many others)
As this is my first review ever, please spout criticism as much as you want, so that I can improve upon my writing skills.

2015 Fiat 500 2dr HB Sport for $0
View 6 more Fiat 500 listings.
More and more Canadians are deciding to live in cities. For those urban drivers, that lifestyle decision includes a heavy diet of congested streets, tight parking spots and stop-and-go traffic.
This month's Dear John letter writer, Mildred Johnston from Vancouver, is facing such an urban driving challenge in trying to decide on her new car.
This will be Mildred's first car purchase. The 20-something ad-agency receptionist has always relied on public transportation or the goodwill of family and friends with cars to get around, so she's looking for a new vehicle that "won't be too intimidating to drive."
To be specific, Mildred's first priority is to own a car that's easy to park. Her workplace doesn't provide any parking, so she will have to battle each morning to find a parking spot near her downtown Vancouver office.
The drive from her apartment to work is only about 10 kilometres, but Mildred still "doesn't want to spend a lot" on gas. As well, with no children and zero need for "active-lifestyle stuff, like mountain bikes or kayaks," Mildred says she can get away with "a two-seater, if I had to." As for price, she's on an under-$20,000 budget.
While most Canadian new-car buyers can get away with a "normal-size" vehicle — subcompact and up — city-dwellers such as Mildred can take advantage of the less-is-more value of so-called city cars: two-door hatchbacks designed primarily for crowded European cities. Three such cars are the Fiat 500, Scion iQ and Smart Fortwo.
The front-wheel-drive 2+2 Fiat 500 is the Papa Bear of this tiny trio. At just over 3.5 metres in length, it's easier to park in tight spots than a larger subcompact car, but still offers a pair of rear seats. Prices (including freight and pre-delivery inspection fees) start at $17,690 for the 500 Coupe Pop. For that, you get a 1.4-litre four-cylinder gas engine, which makes 101 horsepower and 98 pound-feet of torque, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
One look at my next recommendation, Mildred, and you can see how parent Toyota designed its front-wheel-drive 2+2 $18,610 Scion iQ for customers looking for a better Smart Fortwo.
While the snub-nosed Scion shares similar proportions with the Smart minicar, the iQ is dimensionally larger, inside and out. Power comes from a 1.6L four-cylinder gas engine making 120 hp and 112 lb.-ft. of torque, hooked up to a continuously variable automatic transmission.
There's good reason congested European city streets are lined with Smart Fortwos: the car is ridiculously small. At just over 2.6 metres in length, in some municipalities, you can park the two-seat Fortwo sideways. The Smart's efficient packaging is obtained by mounting its 70 hp and 68 lb.-ft. of torque three-cylinder gas engine in the back, sending power to its rear wheels via a five-speed autobox.
While all three of these cars are über-city-friendly, I'm going to have to eliminate the Fiat 500 first, Mildred. The Fiat offers the most rear cargo room (its 771 litres is about twice that of the Scion and Smart), and the 500's pair of rear seats is more accommodating than the occasional squabs in the Scion. But as the longest and least frugal at the pumps (rated at 6.4 litre per 100 kilometres in the city, and 4.9 on the highway), the 500 gets the boot first.
Super-small cars should come with super-small prices, and with a base price of $15,695, the Smart Fortwo Pure is the least expensive city car here. With a four-year/80,000-kilometre warranty, the Smart offers 12 months/20,000 km more than its Fiat and Scion rivals. And with the same 4.7 L/100 km highway rating, the Scion and Smart are also neck and neck in city ratings: 5.5 and 5.8, respectively.
However, whether driving on highways or downtown streets, the Smart feels a lot less refined than the Scion. Compared to the iQ's continuously variable transmission, the Fortwo's sequential autobox (you tap the lever to change gears up or down) remains a sore point. Smooth shifts require playing with the throttle to avoid head-jerking changes, and with a shorter wheelbase and narrower track than the iQ, the Fortwo is less composed on the move.
This leaves us with my recommendation for Mildred's next new city car: the 2014 Scion iQ.
Yes, its $18,610 starting price makes the iQ the most expensive option here, but that's still within your under-$20,000 budget. Plus, despite being marginally longer and wider, the Scion city car's turning circle is actually smaller than the Smart. Also, where the Fortwo offers room for two passengers only, Toyota engineers have cleverly reorganized the iQ's front dash components, carving out more room just ahead of the front passenger.
This trick not only delivers an airier experience for those sitting up front, but also allows the front passenger seat to slide forward enough to allow the occasional passenger to ride in the back for short distances.
In the end, Mildred, the 2014 Scion iQ is the smart way to go for your next new city car.

I have read a few articles on regression with natural bee size and was wondering about some things.
It seems that man is always trying to make animals or plants produce more all the time for his benefit. Take
for example the angus cow. It's a farmers dream cow for meat production. Yet, it's survival in the wild would
not be long unlike it's ancestors. Farmed trout and salmon grow faster now than they did 50 years ago as
well because of man's breeding efforts. They too don't do as well when released in the wild. The list goes
on. Some improvement is fine but the medicines used in food production is out of hand. I guess to have
power is to abuse it and man does this all too well.
Some of my questions are:
1. Does a hive full of small bees produce the same amount of honey as a hive full of larger bees?
2. If larger drone comb is usefull for controlling varroa wouldn't smaller comb size mean less varroa after a while?
3. Wouldn't a larger amount of small bees bee able to survive easier in the winter compared to fewer larger bees?
I imagine nucleus of small bees in the winter would be able to fit tighter and stay warmer. I also think that
each large bee that dies in the winter makes a bigger gap in the nucleus than a small bee dying.
I do know that larger honey comb size makes it easier to harvest the honey. I'm not knocking large bees.
I'm just wondering what are the differences if any? I wonder if there will be smaller queen excluders made?
I can see a 4.9 mm queen going thru a regular queen excluder.
I only ask now as to avoid mistakes later and may we all learn together like a good hive.


text: Ive got a 2011 GMC 1500 with the cloth seats. I find it close to impossible to keep the seats clean. Ive always been a fanatic about keeping my trucks spotless. The new seats are very difficult to vacuum. I have to go over all the seats with a sticky lint roller to get the lint and dust out of them after I clean them. Also I have a few stains on the seat bottom that wont come completely out. Ive tried soap and water, Blue Coral interior cleaner and even dry cleaning solvent. Nothing seems to work. This isnt anything more than a soft drink that spilled onto my lap when the top came off the cup. Any suggestions from you guys on what to use ? The seats in my 03 Tahoe have been through a lot more with raising 2 kids and they still look mint.

The Walker's ongoing relationship with Sol LeWitt dates back to 1984, when the wall-sized painting permanently installed outside Gallery A was commissioned. In 1988, for the exhibition Sculpture Inside Out, which coincided with the opening of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, he was commissioned to create a crosswalk between the Garden and the Walker Art Center building. LeWitt, a Conceptual artist, often uses architectural elements to create works customized to his geometric instructions. For the crosswalk, he submitted a number of maquettes of possible geometric configurations of red and white paving stones. Once the final design had been chosen, representatives from the Transportation Board of the City of Minneapolis were invited to discuss issues such as the speed limit and posting of crosswalk signs; the city's usual method of marking a crosswalk – painting bright yellow lines on the pavement – was overlooked in this case. Both the maquettes and the crosswalk itself became the property of the Walker Art Center, though LeWitt retained rights to the design and the work as an idea.
After seven Minnesota winters it became apparent that the crosswalk was suffering from the continual freeze and thaw of the ground. The paving stones were unstable and hazardous. Funds were spent investigating the damage and proposing solutions. The Walker contacted the artist about ways to ensure the longevity of the commission. LeWitt felt that the Walker had spent a considerable amount of effort on the piece to date, and since it had been on view for some time already, he thought it best to remove the crosswalk rather than spend further money trying to conserve it. It was removed in October 1995. LeWitt has since given a number of works to the Walker for its permanent collection.

I know this may seem like a weird thing but I'd appreciate any advice.
The problem is I've devloped a crippling fear of writing due to discovering that a key element to my game's backstory is slightly similar to a big AAA RPG's. While I'm a big fan of said series I had no idea that said element was even in their game till I played it.
While the two are more than different enough I still cannot help worrying about someone thinking I copied them and starting some sort of Twitter mob to destroy my company before it begins. Do I just stop need to stop hanging around 4chan and people who think Mass Effect 3's ending was a literal criminal act or do my worries have a valid point?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Edit- Yes I do have OCD before someone asks.

"Coach, I just stood by this guy he must be at least 7 feet, 4 inches tall." That's what Jerry Johnson said to Head Coach, George King, in the huddle before Purdue met UCLA in the final game of the 1969 NCAA basketball tournament.
"I'm 6-10 and he towers over me," Johnson said.
"Don't worry about it Jerry," King replied. "We're just counting on you to hold him under 33 points."
Jerry tried and he did pretty well. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, known in those days as Lew Alcinder, only scored 37 against Johnson.

I'm doing my winter preparations and was wondering what others are doing around the country (and other countries). This sort of thread could be especially helpful for new beekeepers going into their first or second winter.
This last week, I inspected my home yard. Naturally, this time of year is a critical one for mites, mite loads, and under other philosophies when mites are treated. I found one hive that had an obvious visible heavy mite load. Since it is too late to requeen and it's not going to get treated, unless this is some sort of magical hive, I'm expecting it to die. However, since I don't test for mite loads and set arbitrary limits on the numbers of mites that can be found and dealt with, who really knows what kind of mite load a hive can survive with? It's a good opportunity to watch and learn. I haven't had a hive die due to a mite infestation for a long time and this hive was a new split this year. I can only expect a certain number of new hives to survive, it's part of the winnowing process. If this queen was a good mite resistant queen like her mother, she may have mated with a bunch of drones who weren't. That's farming.
We had a very hard summer. I measured temperatures at my home on one occasion to be 114.8F degrees in the shade. That combined with extended periods of 105+ temperatures, no rain, and no blooming flowers as a result, left none of the hives with much honey to speak of. I'm expecting a dieoff of feral hives to a certain extent, though I think it is possible for smaller hives to have collected enough honey in the fall to be able to overwinter. It's kinda like overwintering nucs.
Thus, I've needed to spend a lot of money on sugar. I've been feeding as much as I can over the last month or so, and now as temperatures get colder, it is coming to the point where the bees will no longer accept syrup and I'll need to make a last ditch try with granulated sugar.
A nice gentleman from Texas insisted on buying two nucs from me two weeks ago. I told him it might not be a good idea for him buy nucs this time of year, but it's hard to say no when someone offers to pay you to take your risks from you. Also, I lost two hives over the summer but there wasn't much to do as far as post-mortem, they were both just gone. I'd guess it was failure to requeen. This leaves me with 13 hives going into winter, the most I've gone in with since 2004 or so.
I recently watched Michael Palmer's presentation on incorporating nucs into one's operation. http://vimeo.com/23178333 It's a fantastic video. The sound isn't great, but it's well worth the time to watch. I believe keeping nucs like he does will really add to the efficacy of treatment-free beekeeping. I already have six five-frame nuc boxes and a 4x4-frame nuc gadget and so next year I'm adding a major push toward nucs as part of my to-do list. At the same time, I'm learning how to graft and produce my own queens on a larger scale. They go perfectly together. Also, since I'm slowly switching to medium boxes exclusively, it seems to me that the 4-frame deep nucs Mr. Palmer uses would translate well into 6-frame medium nucs. Nucs are very easy to make from 1/2" plywood and very cost efficient over purchasing pre-made.
How about you?
