You have misspelled the name of the musical. It is IOLANTHE, not LOLANTHE.


text: Okay I got a pair of hyper white bulbs for my truck to go into the plate lights but the lights i notices once you put in the sockets they aren't pointed straight at the plates so i took one on the old one and its the same. So is there a way to redirect them without cutting and doing some costumizing a new hole to shine on the plate straight? :neutral:

"Rocktober" ain't here just yet, but September is no slouch thanks to the 5th Annual Rocktucket Block Party. The 2013 Pawtucket Arts Festival is underway, with events scheduled through the end of the month, but for music fans it's all about Rocktucket. And what a lineup! Sixteen local and regional acts are scheduled to perform, all for just a requested $5 donation at the door. This is by far the best five-spot you will drop on live music this year. Rain or shine, it's going down Saturday starting around noontime. For those about to rock — the Bucket salutes you!
We've been spoiled with scores of must-see festivals and block parties statewide over this summer (Newport Folk and Jazz festivals, Rhythm & Roots, AS220's Foo Fest, Liberty Fest, Hope Street Block Party, etc.), and now "downtown" Pawtucket (which sort of resembles a backlot facade at Universal Studios) gets to play party host. Rocktucket organizers have assembled another outstanding array of talent, with an emphasis on quality independent hip-hop (a genre somewhat lacking at this year's Foo Fest).
The 2013 Rocktucket schedule starts with an afternoon of eclectic rock acts, ranging from down-home funk ( The Funky Autocrats ) to roarin' roots (Boston's GIRLS, GUNS & GLORY ) to garage-rock specialists ( Gavage and Atlantic Thrills ). Gavage is a relative newcomer to the PVD music scene but the quartet is off to a hot start and caught my ears earlier this year at AS220 while opening for NYC's Parquet Courts. "(Downtown) Where the Killers Are" is a power-chord party-starter, and lead singer Kevin Toth conjures the snark and chops of Craig Finn on the must-hear "The Platonic Verses" ("she was writing a poem entitled 'Leave Me Alone' with a Zoloft promotional pen"). Rocktucket will also feature a pair of iconic singer-songwriters vital to Lil Rhody's music community in Kris Hansen (Viking Jesus) and Malyssa BellaRosa , as the former Fall & Bounce vocalist now leads Malyssa & the Liberators, alongside a solid complementary cast that includes SexCoffee bassist Sharlene Denardo and Viking Jesus/ex-Kanerko drummer Nick Iddon. Ants In the Cellar frontman Mike Adamowicz is the last Ant standing since its inception in the early '90s. Adamowicz resurrected the Ants in 2011 with a new lineup, and late last year the trio released a handful of straight-up barroom jams worth looking up. (Lolita Black was originally listed on the bill, but LB guitarist Bob Otis confirmed that the band will not be performing due to a scheduling conflict.)

Decent acions are getting harder to find nowdays, back when I was comming up through it wasn't a big deal but now,,,, pretty tough to find good ones, or any for that matter. I got a Dr. apointment this afternoon but will put up some pics of the bolt guns I've built up later. The prettyist being the Mauser I just got from bellson last fall, damn good shooter too. Worst part is now there's hardley any place to shoot more than 100m any more for pratice around here.
I may have a Springfeild reciever, 03 I think, and a new barrel all in "the white" and a stock blank I might be putting up for sale soon, I can't decide if I'm going to use it or not, probibly not sense I don't have access to machineing any more to finish it up.
Would anyone here be interested in something like that? I'd just as soon sell it here as anywhere else at this point.
If there's an intrest I'll gather up everything and get some pics up later and figure out what to ask for it. Not sure what other trinket parts I may have for it but I'll check around to see what I have , if there's any intrest.

Win Shares
A win share is basically one-third of a win. "Why one-third of a win?" you might ask. "Why not one-tenth of a win or a half of a win?" Well, because we can confidently say that a player who adds one-third of a win is significantly better than another. For instance, we can confidently say that a player who has 12 win shares this year is better than another who has 11. This difference has statistical significance.
It's pretty easy to think of a player's win shares in the following manner--a bench player or reliever would routinely get 1-10 win shares per year, a regular player would usually get 10-20, an all star 20-30, and an MVP candidate would get 30+. For comparison, Barry Bonds had 54 win shares in 2001. . . I think it goes without saying that that doesn't happen very often. Additionally, win shares evaluation is a fair to both starters and relievers, middle infielders and sluggers, players from the 1920s and 1990s, etc. Overall, it is a nice tool to use in evaluating everything related to baseball.
Some people have problems with win shares, but I've found it largely interesting and a great tool.
Bill James invented the concept and has a couple of books out on the topic if anyone is interested.
Evaluating Trades
Evaluating trades is tough to do, even when using win shares as a tool. The world is an infinitely complex place, and no trade occurs in a vacuum. There are plenty of other factors to consider, such as payroll implications, roster depth, areas of organizational strength and weakness, free agency, clubhouse politics, etc. There are limitations to what win shares can offer. But they do provide a good starting point for the discussion.
GMs can be evaluated on other criteria, as well. They are responsible for adding players into the system through the draft and free agency; they also are also responsible for overseeing the player development, and ensuring that the scouting/development guys are on the same page. So the trading aspect is only one part of the GM's job description.
Note that I only have the # of win shares through 2001, so they can't be evaluated through this year.
Evaluating Trades with "Long Legs"
It's hard to evaluate trades when players re-sign with teams after they are traded. That seems to happen a lot. For instance--
Dave Burba (CLE)
Paul O'Neill (NYY)
Dan Wilson (SEA)
Mike Remlinger (ATL)
Bret Boone (CIN)
Ed Taubensee (CIN and CLE)
Griffey (CIN)
Shaw (LA)
Norm Charlton (SEA)
So how do you fairly analyze these guys in trades that re-sign with clubs? Is it fair to count O'Neill's 9 years of win shares in New York against the Roberto Kelly trade that happened in 1992? I don't think so. I figured the best way was to do it was to not include their free agency years. If anyone wants to correct me about who was a free agent and when, please feel free to indicate that. I have a feeling that my rough approximates for free agent status are wildly incorrect.
Here's who I counted and for how long-
Dave Burba (CLE through 2001)
Paul O'Neill (NYY only through 1994)
Dan Wilson (SEA through 1999)
Mike Remlinger (ATL )
Bret Boone (CIN through 1998)
Ed Taubensee (CIN through 1997 and all CLE)
Griffey (CIN through 2001)
Shaw (LA through 2001)
Norm Charlton (SEA through 1996)
Likewise, I didn't count guys who were shipped off to third parties (e.g., Fordyce's years in BAL counting against the Reds' totals). I'm simply evaluating how well the Reds did, not how well they did against their competitors. Plus, that would require a lot of time that I just don't have to give to this mini-project.
Bowden's Trade Record Overall
By my count, he has added +169 win shares by trading in his nearly 10 years on the job. That means that his trading alone has added ABOUT 6 WINS TO THE REDS' TOTAL PER YEAR WITH HIS TRADING ALONE. For sake of comparison, Bowden has brought in about 17 win shares per year; last year, the Reds' best player (Sean Casey) only had 18 win shares. . . So Bowden, from up in his office, was better for the club than any other Red was that actually played on the field. Think about that--this total is absolutely amazing.
I don't see how anyone could say that his trading ability is anything other than a prime asset of this team.
Bowden's Best and Worst Trades
Without further ado, here are Bowden's five best trades by the win shares method:
1.) John Smiley and Jeff Branson for Danny Graves, Damian Jackson, Jim Crowell, and Scott Winchester (1997, +54 win shares). There's little doubt about this one. Smiley's arm broke before he could offer any help for the Indians, and Branson served a middle-infield backup for a couple of years. Graves, on the other hand, became an all star and Jackson was used to acquire Greg Vaughn for the Reds' 1999 run.
2.) Dmitri Young for Jeff Brantley; and subsequently, Dmitri Young for Mike Kelly (1997, +45 WS). Dmitri was actually traded to the Reds twice after the 1997 season because he was picked up in the expansion draft by the D-Rays (can you believe he was traded for Mike Kelly??). Both the Cards and D-Rays gave up on him, meaning a tip o' the cap to Bowden is well deserved on this one.
Tied-3*.) Ed Taubensee for Ross Powell (1994, +33 WS). Because of the evaluation method outlined above, I only included Taubensee's 1994-97 campaigns because I think his first walk year with the Reds was 1997 (please correct me if I'm wrong). This doesn't include Taubensee's 16 WS in 1998 or 15 WS in 1999, meaning this trade was probably a lot better than it appears.
T-3*.) Hector Carrasco and Scott Service to KC for Jon Nunnally and Chris Stynes (+33 WS). This might seem like eons ago, but both Nunnally and Stynes looked like potential all stars in 1997. They contributed a whopping 22 WS combined in only a half-season in Cincinnati. Nunnally eventually fell off the face of the earth, and Stynes became a nice utility guy.
5.) The Shaw/Griffey family of trades (+30 WS). Why is this a family of trades? It's easier for me to organize it that way. The guys in the original trade have come and gone. As a result, I chose to evaluate at the trade like this: 1998-2001 Jeff Shaw for 1998-2001 Reyes, 1998 Konerko, 1999 Cameron, and 2000-2001 Griffey. That's one heck of a trade, even if Griffey has been hurt for the past few years. If you add in the 2001 Pokey Reese/Reyes trade for Gabe White and Luke Hudson, this is an outstanding series of talent upgrades. The Reds obviously came out ahead in this group.
Five worst:
T-1*.) Bobby Ayala and Dan Wilson for Bret Boone and Erik Hanson (1993, -30 WS). This one comes as a bit of a surprise to me. But the Reds gave up an outstanding reliever and all-star catcher for a all star 2b and one-year rental. If Hanson had stayed a Red for longer than a year, this likely would've been an even trade, since the Boone/Wilson part of the trade was essentially a wash.
T-1*.) Reggie Sanders, Damian Jackson, and Josh Harris for Greg Vaughn and Mark Sweeney (1998, -30 WS). This one looks a lot worse on paper because the Reds gave up two guys who became regulars and only got one everyday player back. Damian Jackson wasn't going to play over Pokey Reese in 1999, so the Reds dealt from an area of organizational depth. Having both Vaughn and Reese (42 combined WS) playing in 1999 rather than Sanders and Jackson (30 WS) was a huge plus for the Reds that year; as a result, I'm not sure if this loss presents an accurate read on this trade.
3.) Paul O'Neill for Roberto Kelly (1992, -23 WS). Obviously, it could've been much worse if I counted all of O'Neill's season in NY.
4.) Brook Fordyce for Jake Meyer (1999, -16 WS). This really wasn't a big loss because the Reds had catching depth in 1999 (Taubensee and Johnson at the major league level, plus LaRue was fresh of his batting title year in AA). Moreover, Fordyce was out of options. Fordyce had a nice 1999 (12 WS) for the Sox, but other than that, there's not really much lost here.
5.) Gabe White to COL for Manny Aybar (2000, -15 WS). This was just a dumb, dumb, trade. Since White is back in Cincy, I guess all is well that ends well. FYI, the guy who the Reds traded for Aybar later in 2000, Jorge Cordova, looks like an interesting power reliever in AA.
The fact that Bowden only has four trades where he lost more than 10 win shares in telling. Bowden gave up more talent in only two of his five worst deals (the trading away of White and O'Neill). Add in the fact that in two of those three deals, the big difference makers were guys who weren't going to play in Cincinnati (Damian Jackson and Brook Fordyce) but who ended up getting a shot elsewhere. I think this is pretty strong evidence that Bowden is an astute trader.
Moreover, Bowden's only bad trades happened awhile ago (O'Neill, Boomer Wells, and Ayala/Dan Wilson) with the exception of the Gabe White to COL deal. And the Reds managed to get White back pretty cheaply.
Salary Dump Trades (-5 WS)
No real talent was lost here (Stynes is the exception), and the Reds couldn't afford these bloated salaries.
Chris Stynes for Donnie Sadler and Michael Coleman (2000, -8 WS).
Ron Villone for Jeff Taglienti and Justin Carter (2000, -1 WS).
Tim Belcher to the White Sox for Johnny Ruffin and Jeff Pierce (1993, +10 WS).
Michael Tucker to the Cubs for Ben Shaffar and Chris Booker (2001, -6 WS). Shaffar was used to pick up Jose Silva this year.
The Boone/Neagle Family of Trades (0 WS)
Bret Boone and Mike Remlinger for Denny Neagle, Michael Tucker, and Rob Bell (+3 WS). This one had the potential to be a huge deal for the Reds, but now Bell has crapped out, and Tucker and Neagle are both gone. Interestingly, Remlinger actually outperformed Neagle (24 WS to 17) during the 1999-2000 span.
Denny Neagle for Drew Henson, Jackson Melian, Brian Reith, and Ed Yarnall (2000, -3 WS). Many people think this was a bad trade, but I think it would've worked out much better if Reith hadn't been rushed to the big leagues in 2001 (after he had only had a handful of starts above A ball). He has struggled with his confidence and consistency ever since his first promotion. I see this clearly as player development issue, NOT a trade issue.
Michael Coleman and Drew Henson for Wily Mo Pena (2001, no effect).
Rob Bell for Ruben Mateo and Edwin Encarnacion (2001, no effect).
This original trade is now responsible for adding Pena, Mateo, Reith, and E. Encarnacion to the system. Those are some of the best players currently in the Reds' farm system. This trade family might be in the positive column in a few years.
The O'Neill/Burba Family of Trades (+46 WS)
Like the Boone/Neagle family, this series of trades has added a bunch of players to the system, so the original trade is not nearly as bad as one might think initially. Through a series of trades, Roberto Kelly eventually brought the Reds Sean Casey. This trade chain, believe it or not, has actually added wins to the Reds' total overall.
Paul O'Neill for Roberto Kelly listed above.
Kelly and Robert Etheridge to ATL for Deion Sanders (1994, -3 WS).
Deion Sanders, John Roper, Scott Service, Dave McCarty, and Ricky Pickett for Dave Burba, Mark Portugal, and Darren Lewis (1995, +27 WS)
Dave Burba for Sean Casey (+22 WS). A lot of people have been down on Casey lately, but if the Reds had gone with Konerko instead of Casey in 1999, the Reds simply wouldn't have made a run (Casey had 23 WS that year, Konerko had 14).
The Wells Trades (-15 WS)
David Wells to BAL for Curtis Goodwin and Trovin Valdez (1995, -9 WS). This is case of Bowden being Bowden and going after the guy with wheels who can't hit.
C.J. Nitkowski, Dave Tuttle, and Mark Lewis to the Tigers for David Wells (1995, -6 WS). This was a lot better than it appears, because Nitkowski served as an OK middle reliever, but you can get relievers pretty much anywhere. No real talent loss.
Relievers: Coming and Going (+31 WS)
Taubensee to CLE for Jim Brower and Robert Pugmire (2001, +7). Brower to MON for Bruce Chen (2002, too early to tell).
Larry Luebbers, Mike Anderson, and Darren Cox to the Cubs for Chuck McElroy (1994, +7). McElroy to ANA for Lee Smith (1996, -2).
Chris Hammond to FLA for Hector Carrasco (1993, -4). Carrasco to KC detailed above.
Lenny Harris to NYM for John Hudek (1998, +2). Hudek to Braves for Mark Wohlers (1999, +4). Wohlers to Yankees for Ricardo Aramboles (none, but the payoff could be big.)
Norm Charlton to SEA for Kevin Mitchell (1993, +6 WS). I added all of Charlton's years in SEA (1993-1996); if you exclude the final two years (did he re-sign with SEA as a free agent?), then this trade looks like one of JimBo's best (+26 WS).
B.J. Ryan and Jacobo Sequea for Juan Guzman (1999, -1). This one is much more one-sided than it appears; Ryan stinks as a middle reliever, and the Reds used the supplemental pick from the loss of Guzman in the draft to get Dustin Moseley, who is one of the club's top pitchers in the minors.
Tim Belcher to SEA for Roger Salkeld (1993, -5).
Andre King to NYM for Mike Remlinger and Luis Ordaz (1995, +14). Remlinger to ATL detailed above.
Johnny Carvajal to MTL for Gabe White (1997, +14). White to COL described above. White back to CIN in the Pokey Reese/Dennys Reyes to COL for Gabe White and Luke Hudson trade. This final trade looks better every day.
Willie Greene/Bichette Family of Trades (+4 WS)
Willie Greene for Jeffrey Hammonds (1998, +10). Jeffrey Hammonds and Stan Belinda for Dante Bichette (2000, -2 WS). Bichette for Chris Reitsma and John Curtice (2000,
-4). This final trade will start looking a lot better after 2002.
Other Assorted Trades (+27 WS)
Mark Sweeney to MIL for Alex Ochoa (2000, +16 WS). Ochoa to COL for Todd Walker and Jason Jennings (2001, +7 WS). That's a nice flip trade, turning a spare part into an everyday 2B.
Juan Castro for Kenny Lutz (2000, +4 WS).
Dmitri Young for Luis Pineda and Juan Encarnacion. Encarnacion has replaced Young's production at a much cheaper rate, and the Reds have added another power reliever for the bullpen in Pineda. I think the Reds have won this one hands down.
Hector Mercado for Reggie Taylor.
Chris Booker for Jose Silva.

text: Biggest thing you're going to need to remember here is that you'll need to clean that thing. If you're planning on using any kind of caustic soda for cleaning you'll need a bronze or stainless body pump. I'd look into pumps targeted for the beer/wine industry. They should do what you need.

A friend let me know about a bee hive that was discovered when they were having an ash tree down. I went to take a look at it today. The section of the trunk the hive is in is to large for me to move. I don't have a way to cut it into a smaller piece and the homeowner didn't seem very thrilled at that idea anyway.
Is there another way to lure these bees out of there? I'm assuming they are distressed and would be looking for a new home? If I place a hive body or a swarm trap near the tree is there any chance they would move on their own?

These are forums and message boards where posters can put characters from the same or different fictional universes against each other in theoretical battles and users will usually debate about the outcome and the victor of the battle. The most popular vs. forums are comicvine, animevice, killermovies, moviecodec, comic book resources, factpile, herochat and outskirts battle dome. They might sound fun at first to have different characters from different fictional universes to fight each other, but the forums are normally less than fun. There are normally hordes of fan wankers, fan boys, and trolls who lurk around the forums that tend to try and steer the conversation away from the topic at hand or try to convince people that their favorite character would win the battle.
A vs forum is one of the worst places to have debates about fictional characters in fictional, theoretical battles that will never happen.

Nene Quits, LaToya Jackson and Star Jones Both Fired on Tonight's "Celebrity Apprentice"
2 comments:
- mary said...
I say Donald, what took you so long in firing Star Jones?! Several episodes ago Ms. Jones needed to have the boot way up. I can understand why Nene did what she did. Donald was way unfair to all the remaining players by removing Star from the situation. She should have been left in the situation to have worked it out with Nene. Why give her preferential treatment? Even children work out their differences Ms. Jones. Seems to me you met your match with Nene as well as Meatloaf. What was next Donald had you not fired Ms. Jones?...moving Meatloaf? Oh Donald...I am so disappointed in you. Apprentice Fan Mary

I totally agree. Star Jones has come across as a manipulative, mean person the entire season. She should have been fired a long time ago. I feel sorry for all the celebs that had to put up with her. The show has showcased Star as a horrible person. I wonder how she views herself as she watches the episodes.

Reviews for this host's other properties
It was very nice to stay at this apartment. Chryssa and the team was very kind and ready to help and support whenever there's a problem. The apartment was very clean and the location was good too. Although it was a bit far to the subway, there are buses and it's very close to downtown. We had a car and parking was not too difficult. We parked on the street like everybody else but there are also a lot of paid parking lots nearby (not so expensive, ca. 5 Euros per day).
It was fantastic and fully profesional expierience. The apartment was in the perfect part of Athens, we were close to the Acropol and Plaka. Thanks to support of Helena & Vasalli we were able to have magniefecent time during the one day trip to three islands. I highly recomend!
Spending time with Helena's apartment was very nice. The place is clean and cosy and very close to the centre. There was no problems with time of arrival. Also when we have a small "door-problem" the hosts help us quickly. Thank you for your hospitality!
Very central location, nice, helpful hosts, clean and quiet Apartment!
Helena and Chryssa are very nice and helpful persons. The Flat was very nice and charming. We feeled ery welcome and like at home. We would stay there again next time if we are in Athens.
Great place!!! 5-minute walking distance to Acropolis and Plaka district where all restaurants and shops are. Apartment has a rooftop deck or terrace with excellent view of the Rock and can accommodate a large group of people. Place itself is modern with tons of natural light. Owned and designed by an architect, it offers everything a family might need on a trip.
Helena and her team did excellent work including providing transfer from and to the airport. It was true pleasure dealing with professionals who know how to accommodate visitors.
At the time of writing (April 2016) we were first to book and second to stay in the place. It is (was) brand new and few things were probably just not tested under "heavy" use by the visitors. Team Helena and the owner came over to address everything in person, which was very comforting.
Overall, it could not have been any better, thank you.
First time in Athens with my family - wife, 3 grand daughters and I. We had chosen their cheap' transport from the airport back and forth. Everything worked seamlessly. The drivers where ready, very charming and helping.
We stayed one week with no problem. The appartement was close to Acropolis (15-20 min. walk). It was spacious.
Though, you had to find out about how to get a comptable temperature ni the appartment. The terrasse had some recevoirs with fuel, which gave off a scent ... so we didn't use it (the weather was also still a little too cool, so it didn't matter).
Alltogether a good experience. And we are ready to go back another time.
Great location , nice apartment , everything great :)
Nice, clean apartment in het heart of the city with a giant balcony and a (shared) roof terrace with a view on Acropolis. All major sights are within walking distance and tram and metro stops are nearby for a visit to Piraeus or the beach. Shops are available downstairs for breakfast and a bottle of wine. If you visit the market hall, you can easily prepare your "catch of the day" since all kitchen utensils (including grill plate) are available (although it might be a good idea to read the manual of the oven first).
Be aware that the google map at this site doesn't show the correct place of the apartment; search for "nikis 24 Athens" in google maps. (But there's no need for looking for the correct place, since Helena offers a pick up service at the airport for a reasonable fee.)
The only thing that could be improved: there are no relax chairs at the balcony.
We had a fun trip to Athens. The apartment ist really big and very clean. Thank you very much.

A Vacaville man accused of attacking a local transient with a skateboard earlier this month appeared in Solano County Superior Court on Wednesday.
Michael Lee Shipley, 36, pleaded not guilty to a felony count of assault with a deadly weapon in the April 8 attack on a 38-year-old Vacaville transient. The attack, which occurred in a creek near Peabody Road, sent the victim to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek by way of an air ambulance for treatment.
According to police, the victim and his girlfriend had been drinking with Shipley and several other people when Shipley began "berating her." Shipley picked up a skateboard and hit the victim in the head four or five times when the victim tried to stop Shipley's rant, police said.
At the time of the incident, Shipley was on probation for various crimes and wanted by authorities for a failure to appear in court.
According to court documents, Shipley pleaded no contest on March 18 to a misdemeanor count of petty theft and resisting arrest. With prior convictions for petty theft and stealing vehicles, Shipley was facing two years in county jail but negotiated it down to six months as part of his plea agreement.
He was granted two court days to get his affairs in order before turning himself in on March 22, but was a no-show, according to court documents.
Vacaville police caught up with him after the attack on April 8 and transported him to Solano County Jail, where he remains with bail set at $40,000.
Judge Donna Stashyn ordered him back to court at 9 a.m. May 7 for a probable cause hearing.

text: I have a 1998 K2500 Silverado I use strictly as a hunting truck which i bought used a few years ago, Yesterday I hauled it down south to do some predator hunting. After unloading it and starting it few times and moving it around, we headed to the pasture. No Problems. I turned on the AC and the truck, immediate died. Tried to restart and battery was low and would not crank. Jumped the truck with my other truck and it fired right up. Removed jumper cable and volt meter on the dash read 9 volts. Called a friend and he brought a new ALT from Autozone which turned out to be the wrong one. He left to go get another one. While he was gone the rancher came buy and he has a 97 that the engine is locked up in. He let us take the ALT off it and after we put it on it would still not charge. My friend got back with the new one and we put it on, still no charge. I have a CHILTONS in the truck. We read and tested all the circuits, checked all the fuses, and looked at all the connections. Still nothing. Yes, the "L" wire is good to the alternator, it is supplying voltage to the ALT. Tested the large connection off the back of the ALT and getting battery voltage but it drops as the battery drains. Does the dashboard have a light as well as the gauge? If so the light does not work. Three alternators (original, one off the 97, and a new one) all bad???? When i get it off the trailer, I'm going to take the new one off and have it tested to make sure it works, but my suspicion it it's ok on the bench. Anyone have any ideas?


text: I was planning on taking this train ride but things got in the way. I have been lurking here enjoying all of the beautiful table runners. Great work everyone I look forward to the next ride. I donated my quilt from the last train ride to the school carnival. It raised quite a bit of money. The school principal won it. She bought $30 worth of chances. I am glad someone who desperately wanted it won. The school where I work is pretty low income so this money will come in handy for the little extras for the kids.

Brian Hayes
The specific model I've been toying with was devised 10 years ago by Ken A. Dill of the University of California at San Francisco, who has continued to explore it since then with the help of several colleagues. Almost all of my experiments merely replicate their earlier work.
Dill's molecules would not be recognized as proteins by a biochemist (or by a ribosome, for that matter). They are radically simplified in three ways.
First, whereas real proteins are constructed from 20 kinds of amino acids (which differ in size, shape, electric charge, affinity for water and other properties), the building blocks of prototeins come in just two flavors. Dill designates them H and P, for hydrophobic and polar; the H units repel water while the P units attract it.
Second, the various forces acting between amino acids in proteins (electrostatic attractions and repulsions, hydrogen bonds, solvent interactions) are reduced in prototeins to a single rule: H's like to stick together. The P units in prototeins are inert, neither attracting nor repelling.
Third, prototeins do their folding on a lattice, as if the molecules were laid out on graph paper. Think of the H's and P's as colored dots placed at the grid points of the lattice; the chemical bonds in the backbone of the prototein are lines drawn on the grid to connect the dots. Confining the molecules to a lattice is a major computational convenience. It keeps the number of configurations finite. If the chain could bend and twist in continuous space, there would be no clear way of counting the arrangements, and you could never be sure you had tried them all. Dill and others have explored several lattice geometries in both two and three dimensions. My own experiments all inhabit the two-dimensional square lattice, which is the simplest.
Dots and lines on graph paper: That's really all there is to a prototein. Or else the model could be described in terms of colored beads, laid down on a board with a gridlike pattern of dimples to hold the beads in place. To build a sequence of amino acids, you string together H-beads and P-beads in whatever order you choose. To fold the molecule, you arrange the string of beads on the lattice board. The string is not allowed to stretch or break, and so successive beads in the sequence have to occupy nearest-neighbor sites on the lattice. No two beads can be piled up at the same site, and so the chain cannot cross itself. If two H-beads that are not adjacent within the linear sequence wind up on adjacent sites after the chain is folded, their attraction creates a cross-link, or contact, that helps to stabilize the molecule. Foldings that give rise to many such contacts are favored over those with few contacts.
Simple and abstract the model surely is—so much so that you can't help wondering if the process of abstraction hasn't sucked all the life out of it. The squared-off, flattened molecules certainly don't look very biological. But the proof of the prototein is in the folding.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Ok so patience it sounds like....
Along with your plan of action Diana would you add any other plants? I hear some people saying to heavily plant ADA tanks.
DO not stock this tank.
Return the Tetras.
ADA soils will continue to leach ammonia for roughly a month. During this time the nitrifying bacteria is growing, but it is not fast growing bacteria. It will take time until the population is up to dealing with the amount of ammonia the soil can produce.
The nitrifying bacteria grow better when the pH is over 6.5, the GH and KH over 3 German degrees of hardness.
What I would do:
Add some baking soda or other source of carbonates to keep the KH about 3 degrees.
If you want the bacteria to grow faster add some. Look for Nitrospira species of bacteria. Do not waste your money on anything else.
If you are OK waiting, then just monitor the parameters.
Do water changes if the ammonia or nitrite are over 5 ppm.
As the ammonia production gets less and less in the soil you may have to add some ammonia to keep feeding the bacteria.
Here is a quick rundown of the fishless cycle:
Test daily.
Add ammonia to keep it at 3 ppm once a day.
Do water changes if the ammonia or nitrite are over 5 ppm.
When you add ammonia one day, and the next day (24 hours later) both the ammonia and nitrite are zero it is cycled.
Well even if it does continually leech out ammonia wouldn't the nitrogen cycle/bacteria compensate and null it out?
Also today i was told by my LFS that i can actually start stocking it since it seems to be cycled and that even though my ammonia is at 1.0 since my PH is at around 6.0 it's not toxic and safe for fish.
My current fish seem to be just fine....
Any one agree/disagree?
It's probably going to take you a month to get through your cycle so buckle up for the long haul. It will be worth it.
You also may want to do some reading in the substrate section of the forum so you better understand your Aquasoil.
|How long has it been setup ADA soil is known to leech ammonia for 4-8 weeks before it stops?
What don't you like Ony? The PH crashing or something else?
Todays Readings
PH 6.4 (Was much higher yesterday after the WC)
Ammonia 1.0 (never moves)
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0.0 - 5.0
As stated before I already had my Nitrite spike to 2.0 then drop to 0 and a small show of Nitrates, which led me to believe the tank was cycled but the ammonia always holding at 1.0 is puzzling me.
Just want to make sure i am doing things right. Thanks again!
I don't like the sound of that TBH. Do you know your KH?
I really wouldn't add fish with such high ammonia levels, wait till it drops and you will get off to a much better start.
Hey thanks for the response.
I am just making sure it isn't doing any harm. Since you've used it did you wait a long time to add more fish? I feel since its holding at 1.0 ppm I don't want to risk it. But does it ever stop leeching?
This is my first planted tank so please keep that in mind.
ADA is supposed to lower pH. Don't use ADA if you don't want a low pH.
With that said, why are you trying to raise it? Most plants/fish will do fine in the 6pH tank. And bacteria don't stop producing in less that 6.8pH. They may slow down but they still take a hold. I use Netlea soil which lowers my water to 5 to 5.5pH, 6pH if I use tap water and I have cycled all my tanks and don't have a problem with fish in it.
PH\Cycle Problem
Hello all
I just got a 40g tank all setup a week and a half ago with four pristella tetras. But am having a problem keeping the PH up. I've done water changes (30%) three times so far and I manage to get the PH up to 7.8 but the next morning it will bottom out to 6.0. The API test kit i have shows 6.0 as the lowest possible reading. So it may even be lower.
So my problem is I am not sure if my tank is cycled or semi-cycled due to the low PH. I say that because I know nitrifying bacteria stop reproducing once you go lower then 6.8PH. I also don't know why my PH keeps crashing. Also i think the ADA is still leeching ammonia so i'm scared to add any more fish. Based on my log it looks like a semi cycle went through and it's just left over ammonia from the ADA. Anyways any tips or advice is much appreciated. My plan is to eventually put in some Apistos!

Discussion in 'CO - Colorado Chevy Truck Fans' started by BurbanMan, Jul 31, 2013.
I live here in Delores, CO. Where are you?
You live in a nice part of the world ! I lived in Cortez in the early 60's and in Durango for a couple of years. Used to go fishing above Delores - that was before you had to "take a number" or fight your way to the river ! I'm a long way from there now, but just had to reply. Ken
Yea. The Delores river is a pia now. I haven't lived here long as I'm from Tulsa, OK. So fishing happens at Mcfee nowadays for me.
Anyone else? Surely I'm not the only one out here in 4x4 country
Moved this to the Colorado forum. It could go in others too I suppose, but the OP was from Colorado ...
yes! Please do
Let's get this party started right .... Let's get this party started quickly.
Wow...CC and the Music Factory; haven't heard or remembered that song in years.
- - - Updated - - -
I'm over on the Eastern slope, but definitely head West and Southwest during my off-road and other Colorado travels.
I'm along the Wasatch Front. Not sure it would be considered the 4 corner's region, but it is one of the 4 corner's states.
I've not been to any off-road event in CO
I'm gonna have to google search that! Lol

Family upset roadside memorial will be taken down
PUEBLO, Colo. - The Sisneros family says requiring grieving families to remove roadside memorials after 45 days is setting a time limit on grief.
Pueblo City Council voted unanimously Monday to have memorials taken down after 45 days.
Memorials adorn countless intersections in Pueblo. One of them sits on East Fourth Street and LaCrosse. Jose Sisneros, 56, was struck and killed by a vehicle there April 19, 2013.
"I come here almost every day whether I need to come this way or not," said Corrine Martinez, Sisneros' sister.
Martinez said her brother's memorial is all she has left of him. The family arranged it right after Sisneros was killed. Now the city wants it taken down.
"I don't think that's right because that's like trying to give me a time limit of how long I can mourn for my brother," Martinez said.
Sgt. Eric Gonzales said there's no vehicle or suspect description for Sisneros' hit-and-run investigation.
Sisneros' family said his memorial could be the key to finding the person responsible. "Hopefully that driver will have a conscience and it will hit him every day if he passes by here like we do and he sees it," Martinez said. "It's gotta pull some heart, tug on them heart strings at least."
Pueblo City Council is exploring other ways for the family to pay tribute, including a public memorial. But the Sisneros family wants no part in it.
"It's not the same. He didn't die over there. He died here," Martinez said.
City Council member Steve Nawrocki said one of the reasons for limiting the time of the memorials is so the city can maintain the area around it. Martinez said her brother's memorial isn't bothering anyone.

Australian billionaire James Packer has brought his 87.5-metre superyacht Arctic P to Auckland for a refit that could mean upwards of $10 million for the local economy.
The giant vessel - the 50th largest yacht in the world - is berthed at Wynyard Quarter where it is expected to stay for at least six months.
The arrival of Packer's yacht is a blessing for the Auckland marine industry after losing the $50 million refit of billionaire Graeme Hart's superyacht to Whangarei.
The Packer vessel, which has hosted celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in the past, has been hanging about Auckland ports since October.
Industry insiders confirmed this week it had been moved to Wynyard Quarter for a refit, its first since 2008.
Packer this week opened up in an emotional television interview about the last words from his father, Australian media mogul Kerry Packer, from who he inherited the yacht upon his death in 2005.
Details of the work to the vessel have been kept confidential but research on superyacht refits suggests Arctic P will result in a multimillion-dollar benefit for Auckland.
It is likely to be a smaller project than the refit of the 77-metre yacht Weta - known as U77 - owned by Hart, New Zealand's richest man.
Weta was towed to Port Nikau in Northland last week after local firm Culham Engineering was believed to have offered a better deal for what is reportedly the largest yacht refit the country has seen.
Hart's superyacht had been in Auckland for more than a year and those in the marine industry are keeping mum on the reasons behind his decision to have it finished in Whangarei, where the port has been dredged to accommodate the large vessel.
Whangarei councillor Brian McLachlan, who praised Culham Engineering for luring the Weta refit, said he understood Hart's decision to be based on where he could get the most cost-effective work.
Drury-based Nautical Contracting had been working on the Weta while it was in Auckland and last reported in February last year that its work was continuing.
The company's website said "2011 was a tough year in the global superyacht industry and for the boatbuilding scene in New Zealand. But we are pleased to say there are encouraging signs for the year ahead".
Nautical Contracting managers would not comment on the Weta's move north this week.
Refurbishing superyachts was a lucrative industry for Auckland, NZ Marine Industry Association executive director Peter Busfield said.
Research by NZ Marine has found a typical refit for a 40m yacht resulted in $5m spent in the industry and another $1m spent on tourism in the city hosting the owners, representatives, guests and crew.
Auckland has about a 90 per cent share of the superyacht refit business in New Zealand, and the cost of a refit can vary from $1m up to $30m.
Mr Busfield said there were efforts to double the number of superyacht refits being done in New Zealand over the next three years.
"Only cities that have a highly skilled marine industry workforce and special marine facilities such as we have in Auckland can hope to attract this international business," Mr Busfield said.
"Of the 7000 superyachts internationally we believe that 1000 of these are wishing for, or are due for, a refit.
"New Zealand attracts approximately 25 refits per year and with [New Zealand Trade and Enterprise] assistance we have a strategy ... to entice more than double this number over the next three years."
Mr Busfield said superyachts were normally attracted to New Zealand as a cruising destination and then later becoming aware of the world-class workmanship the local marine industry provides.
Who is James Packer?
Wealth: US$6 billion ($7.17b)
Age: 45
Source of wealth: Gaming
Lives: Sydney, Australia
Marital Status: Married with three children
The son of the late media mogul Kerry Packer, James inherited the business and shifted investments to focus on the gambling industry, in particular casinos worldwide. Last year his fortune grew by US$1.5b ($1.79b) as he sold off his last major stake in media and his casino group, Crown, expanded.

Call up Lee and they give you new decaping pins plus a few extra. One of mine broke on like round 45 and they sent me 3.
I got a little more of the bolt done today. I still need to: square up and deepen the front of the slot for the hammer; fit a fireing pin return spring; and a fireing pin retaining screw. I made the slot by drilling some 13/32" holes and hacksawed/filed out the slot. It took about 2 hours. Heres a before and after.
can i post?
Clan MacPherson
Sure, Just keep in mind its not done yet. What I've done so far is based off of the SGN article with a few changes.
I was re-reading the SGN article and looking at the ar15 fire control parts, firing pin and recoil spring and I got to thinking about another possible direction for this build. The ar15 9mm bolts and barrels are expensive compaired to a 223 bolt and barrel. The Suomi bolt can be turned down small enough to fit in an AR15 upper. The difference in lenght of the two bolts from the back of the firing pin to the front of the bolt is only .030" The differences being in the lip that protrudes past the bolt face. One problem that I see is that .450" of the AR15 bolt goes into the barrel extension so to use the ar15 firing pin set up you would have to recess the 9mm barrel in the same fashion to get the correct angle of the hammer striking the firing pin. I suppose you could just make a barrel bushing modeled after the ar15 barrel shank with a built in feed ramp of sorts. The Suomi mags and drums won't fit an ar15 magwell. but a modified sten mag will. The bolt would have to be modifed for the ar15 firing pin like the SGN-9, and a key added like the ar15 bolt so you could use the charging handle; the barrel bushing made (and barrel extended); and the magizines modified. Perhaps less work than the SGN-9.
I got a little more work done on the bolt. The front of the hammer slot has been squared up and the 8-32 firing pin retaining screw installed. Heres a picture with the firing pin installed. I'm going to try and use an inertia firing pin as I set the hammer .050" off of the firing pin at its full forward fired position. About .065" of the firing pin head sits out of the bolt body in the unfired position for the hammer to hit. If it doesn't work I'll keep trimming the front of the hammer slot until I get good primer hits.
Prexis is offering a ready made bolt with the firing pin installed for their Suomi semi only receiver.
The Prexis semi bolt counts a a US made part for $215, and they will also will modify your bolt for $120. The SGN-9 article said it took the guy about 8 hours total on just the bolt and I'm well on the way there. I'm going to try to make or modify all of the parts myself for this build. Today I got the feed lip squared to the bolt face and will try to get a picture of it up tomorrow some time.

if sombody scans the SGN artical I would like to have a copy of it. all of the racks were empty in all of the stors that I know carry SGN.

Perfect location, easy to walk within minutes to restaurants, bars, shops, cafes.
Spacious lounge & dining area. Two good sized double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one with en suite.
The apartment was clean and all necessary equipment available (TV, free WLAN, Nespresso coffee machine, A/C in all rooms except one sleeping room (only vent), washing machine).
Communication and logistics was excellent.
Had a wonderful week in our new "home" in Palma. The apartment was very central to everything going on - from restaurants, shops, bars, buses, taxis and a short walk to the train station. The apartment had everything that we had requested and was very clean. We met Claudia on our arrival and she was very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely use Wimdu again for our next visit to Palma.
Nice place, centrally located with bars and restaurants within a 5 minutes walk. Some cafes for breakfast directly around the corner.
The appartment is light, clean, big enough for three and nicely equipped. The kitchen could have a little bit more equipment and the WiFi should be checked (wasn't working for us all three days).
Communication and logistics was excellent.
The flat was really nice. We appreciated the good beds and the air conditioning. There were 41 steps to the secend floor but it was OK for us. It would be nice if you can do a manual to the washing machine. It´s much easyer to use then.
Basically everything was fine and according to the description with the booked accomodation:
The apartment was clean and all necessary equipment available (TV, free WLAN, Nespresso coffee machine, A/C in all rooms except one sleeping room (only vent), washing machine).
At arrival we were expected in front of apartment at agreed time (2PM).
Departure was at 11AM and we could deposit our luggage in the rental company's office until our final departure to airport.
Only problem (cause only 4 points instead of 5 points): the apartment is in 3rd floor and the stairways are VERY small to bring up the luggage. It seems this is standard in city houses in Palma, but it should be mentioned in the description.
Great host. Quick to reply by mail and text. Supplied baby cot and chair without hassle. Just easy!
Amazing location in old town, Palma.

We had a great stay in the apartment. Location is really great. In reality exactly like the pictures. Pay attention: the stairs are rather steep!
Everything was more than ok, except for the noise the wooden floor makes.....
We liked:
-Excellent location, easy to walk within minutes to restaurants, bars, shops, cafes. Perfect with little baby.
-Spacious lounge & dining area (we were 3 adults and a 5 month old baby).
-2 good size double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
-Elevator (but 3 steps to get up to it made it a little tricky with pushchair).
-Quiet - good for sleeping!
-Lucky it was available at short notice.
We didn't like:
-No electric kettle - just one for the hob - far too time consuming for tea & making baby bottles!
-No AC in the bedrooms, only in lounge. We had to have the lounge at lowest temperature for a few hours to help cools the bedrooms.
-Tiny microwave (our standard MAM baby bottles wouldn't fit).
-En suite bathroom did not have a shower curtain.
-Poor water pressure in showers.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

I'm 45 years old, married to my best friend and we live on 15 acres in north-central West Virginia.
We want to keep bees for several reasons; to increase pollination and productivity of our trees and other flora, to syphon off a bit of honey for ourselves, but mostly for the experience of working together with the bees to our mutual benefit.
I've been doing most of the research; books, podcasts like The Organically Managed Beekeeper and am still in the research stage. Were gravitating to the philosophies of The Fat Bee Man, John Seaborn, and other like-minded beekeepers. My Wife and I are currently enrolled in a six night course with my county BKA and let me tell you they are a great group even if we are hearing a little bit of conflicting philosophy there.
For this season. we are leaning towards purchasing a small cell nuke, and using foundationless frames in 8-frame medium Lang supers.
I am definitely here to learn and welcome all advice.
About the only thing I have to offer at this point is an open mind.
