About $30 on Amazon:
Amazon reviews suggests the pieces take a bit of effort to snap together.
I feel like I should be wary of these.
Why be wary of these instead of those silly green army men?
Because they're military lego knock-offs with slightly more powerful looking weapons that are NOT swords, crossbows, or silly lazer guns.
lots of comments from when this was sold back in August
Awful product! Pieces don't fit together and break easily. My son begged me to never buy this brand again because he was so upset with how frustrating the pieces were.
Just walk away. These aren't the bricks to buy, no matter the price.
lego FTW...

So you're saying buy this for the guns and use them with your regular lego men?
There was a critique video on one of the previous sales where the kid who built it wasn't impressed. The little concrete bunker didn't even have building instructions.

If you insist.
My son won about 15 sets of these in a "Lego" Raffle Basket they had at his school (Yes, it said he was buying raffle tickets for Legos") and not one of those sets was a pleasure to build. The pieces broke easily, and good luck if you had to put two of them side by side on the same base. They're not going to fit. Saw these in Big Lots's a week or so ago as well. If you wish to torture parents, get these for their kids as gifts.
Even as a kid, I hated Megaforce with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. I believe the sight of Barry Bostwick using helium balloons as target practice for cycle-mounted rocket launchers was a key element contributing to the wussification of America.
Please don't torture kids with these, you want to encourage their imagination and creativity not discourage it. Instructions on best lock sets are horrible, the bricks come weirdly arranged (if at all), and they don't fit together well.
I bought a similar set of Best-Lock on super clearance last year - they do not stay together! I paid @2.50, so I got what I paid for, these are overpriced for the quality!
No, no, no, no, no, no. These are awful. Terribly hard to out together, terribly frustrating to force the pieces together, terribly difficult to understand the directions. Did I mention they were terrible? Do. Not. Buy.
Legos cost a lot more, but they are also a lot better. It stinks that Legos cost so much, but nothing compares in quality. Lego doesn't own the patent to their basic brick designs anymore, so anyone can make compatible bricks. Tyco, Megabloks, and I'm sure these, are NOT fun because they are shabby. You'll be glad you paid more for the real deal. And if you take good care of them, you'll enjoy the pleasure of reselling them when your kids outgrow them and all the sets they had are no longer being sold. Hunt around ebay and Amazon and you'll be amazed at how often those suckers skyrocket in value. (Don't ask me how I addictively know all this!)
Have your kids been misbehaving? If so this is the perfect gift to say, "see, this is what happens when you piss mommy off". Other than that I'm not sure what use they have. Our Best-Lock set have been relegated to the sand box so they don't accidentally mix with their cool Lego cousins.
Disappointment reigns!
Keep training those babies to grease the wheels of the military complex.
Thanks for all the comments. I think I bought the Kinnex power shovel from Woot once and my son got a Kre-o set. The Kinnex never stays together and the tracks broke. The Kreo says its compatible, but my son but one of his Lego heads in a Kre-o helmet and now its stuck there.
All of your comments (nd my experience) have convinced me to avoid these and all other Lego knock-offs like the plague.
WOW, you guys hate these things!
I didn't know someone could be bad at making little plastic bricks lol
I bought 2 of these sets from Woot last year and gave them to my kids as a gift. The pieces from this set don't fit together very well, leaving gaps between them. Yes, they are compatible with Legos, but the fit between the two brands is pretty loose. The plastic is thinner than Legos and the pieces are more flexible as a result. They're actually easier to take apart than Legos for this reason. For this price I guess they're not bad but the quality of these is frustrating if you're used to the high quality of Legos.

I want thank you for that link. I haven't laughed that much in a long time.

lol. it's a toy.
The quality is awful and not fun BUT, my son likes the tracks to use to make tanks so he uses those on his legos. You can glue the pieces together when building to keep them in place ( super glue) I have 6 boys from 27 to 8 , real legos are an investment and last a very long time and are worth the extra cost.
I bought a similar set from woot a while back. My kids were a little young for them so they sat in a box till they got older. We recently built them, and these kits SUCK. They are awful. The reason? The pieces are not uniform, some don't fit at all. The instructions are not good, sometimes skipping a step. There is no organization of parts like Lego does, ie use Bag 1/2/3 to build this, which means you have to open multiple bags to find all the parts.
Just know what you are buying.
Same as other negative reviews. Ended up gluing the pieces together...and they still don't get played with much. Bought 2 sets...one in desert sand and the other traditional green color. Built one set and haven't touched the other yet. I'd be embarrassed to give this set away as a gift.
what is "creative" and "educationall" about giving children toys that are replicas of things that are buildt to kill...........disgusting
Junk, just finished throwing them away an hour ago. Stick with Lego.

RELAXXXXXxxxxx! It's ONLY a TOY! Although it may NOT be a toy that YOU yourself 'like, or approve of', does NOT make it, or mean it's a 'disgusting' toy. If you don't like, or want it don't buy it. Just don't. And ALWAYS REMEMBER that YOU have the FREEDOM and CHOICE to just go onto another webpage instead of staying on this particular one and getting yourself all worked up, BECAUSE OF any actual items, and heroic soldiers that these TOYS may represent.
What I had gathered from your post, you were wondering why there are toys such as these even made, and how can they be creative, or educational. I can answer that for you from my own personal experience. My own children are extremely patriotic, and very informed individuals. They are all very up to date with the world's current events. They follow politics, watch the news, and seek out webpages where they can learn more about the world they live in. (BTW, EACH of them do so by their OWN CHOICE, and NOT because they are 'made to', or 'urged to' by either myself, or my wife.-In case you were 'wondering'.) That being said, they DO KNOW what is going on around them, and realize the DIFFERENCE between 'just a TOY' and the 'real thing'. However, they are also children who enjoy using their imaginations, and creativity. So, if they choose to 'play war' with a 'lego type' of block, as their parent it is okay with me, and I do NOT think it is something 'disgusting'. Instead, I feel it is something that is exercising their minds, imaginations, and allowing them to create, and improve each of their own fine motor skill dexterity's. So yes, in those respects I certainly do think that these can be, and are educational items/toys, which can also help each of them to become even more creative individuals than they already are.
Save your money and put it towards the real Legos! I have Legos from 15 years ago and they are still in perfect condition in a storage bin just waiting for my 2 year old son to come of age.
I got 2 of these last time and put them together, they literally fall apart at the slightest touch and I, a 23 year old Lego veteran was frustrated at how terrible the quality is and was ready to just throw them all in the trash! The quality is so terrible that it prompted me to make my first post on woot! Seriously just put the money towards a decent box of Legos, they will last far longer and bring much more enjoyment!
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen anything on Woot that people hated more than this building set! I'm afraid we'll be seeing these in the next wootoff...and the next one....and the next one....
These sets are Chinese. Best Lock has been making blocks nearly as long as that other company. Both brands are knock offs of kiddicraft bricks.
That being said, these are made of a slightly different plastic than the leaders. They do have their place. For the price, they can't be beat. Lots of flat pieces and cool extra parts you can use with your other bricks.
Being that these are Chinese, don't expect perfect pieces. Don't expect your sets to come with all the pieces. On average I'm missing 2 or 3 pieces in each set. Don't expect perfect instructions.
BTW: The Lego set I had recently bought had things pictured on the box with NO instructions how to build them. Sometimes you do need to use that thing above your shoulders for more than a hat rack.
Simply horrible quality Chinese knock-offs.
Not worth it. However they will desensitize your children to eventual Chinese occupation.
Please listen to the naysayers and stay away from Best Lock, they are junk! If you must buy an alternative to Lego, do a Google search for Enlighten or Kazi building blocks, you will find some decent kits for cheap price, but Lego still is best, but does not offer the military kits


text: Alright as the title states if GM were to offer a diesel option in every model that they make would you buy one? Im not just talking about the trucks either, im talking about little 4cyl diesels in the cars, and so on. Basicaly similar to Europe where Diesel is the king for milage. I was shopping a little today for a gas mizer for work, and had someone say i should get a Prius, which has been proven to be more damaging to the Environment to build/drive than a HUMMER! Anyhow i have seen that GM offers a diesel model in every size in Europe. and they get 40 plus MPG, and have good power. Think about driving your K1500 with a lift to work and getting 25-30mpg with the same power you have now. So this is both a poll, and feel free to comment and discuss as well. And as a disclaimer, the muscle cars of GM would still be Gas engines etc.. this is more for the normal daily commute type vehicle.

(Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 10:14 AM
By Jordan Gribble / Special to the American Press
Training to run a 5K isn't easy. Training to run a 5K during which you'll be chased by zombies is slightly harder. Even though the phrase "run for your lives" wasn't meant to apply to competitive running events, that's exactly what the mantra of one local organization's first charity run will be.
Fusion Five a local organization for young professionals will host the first annual End of the Human Race: Zombie Run on Feb. 16, with proceeds benefitting programs such as seminars, speakers and networking events to propel the careers of its members. The race, which will be held in Roanoke, will feature eight 5K races throughout the day, with the competition focusing on making it to the finish line with your life.
Although zombies are notoriously brain hungry, Fusion Five Board Member Ashli Waldrep said that the zombies in this race will try to contain their appetite for human flesh and be purely focused on keeping runners from crossing the finish line with their lives intact.
"If you're a runner in the race you'll be outfitted with a flag football belt, the flags on the belt will represent your life. Throughout the course we'll have zombies try to take those lives from you before you cross the finish line," Waldrep said.
"Along the course we'll also have 'Hunger Games'-style backpacks, if a runner sees it, they can pick it up and it will contain an extra life. The catch is that the backpack will have some weight in it, and they'll have to carry it for the remainder of the race," Waldrep said.
She said this will slow runners down making it easier for packs of registrants dressed as zombies to pick them off.
Runners who do have all of their lives taken by zombies are encouraged to finish the race but will be ineligible for prizes. Prizes will be given out for each race in the categories of first-, second- and third- place runners for both males and females, best zombie costume and for the zombie who has accrued the most flags at the event's Brain Bash, which will be held immediately after the day's last scheduled race and will feature the band The Lochness Mobsters.
Registration has been closed for runners, though those still wishing to participate can register as a zombie for $25 dollars. Zombies are encouraged to dress up, and a makeup artist will be present at the event to complete their undead look. More information for the event can be found online at www.endofthehumanrace.com

Welcome to Si Tapas
apas is the name of a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine.
Served cold or hot, Tapas have evolved into an entire cuisine, whereby patrons of tapas restaurants can order many different tapas and combine them to make a full meal.
Tapa means "lid" or "cover" in Spanish. There are several explanations for the etymology of "tapa":
A commonly cited explanation is that an item, be it bread or a flat card, etc., would often be placed on top of a drink to protect it from fruit flies; at some point it became a habit to top this "cover" with a snack.

I did a hive check today on a sunny warm day into the 50s.
Apparently the new queen is doing her job of good laying pattern.
Already there is one frame of sealed brood. Another is on its way packed with
solid pattern of yellow, light orange, and whitish pollens. And the last frame got
some new eggs all over.
I took off the top empty hive and put sugar syrup on top after covering the hive.
Here are some pics. They are flying fast to pick up the syrup. What a scene with so
many worker bees around. I felt a calm buzz all around them. Can you see some larvae
on the frame?

It is also the 20th anniversary of the first issue of The Point, the courageously independent-minded daily that Hydara founded and directed for many years. He was murdered in a drive-by shooting as he drove himself and two staff members home from an evening of somber celebration at The Point's premises. He had received multiple death threats in the preceding weeks and months. In his last column, he vowed to keep fighting to the end for Gambians' right to speak their minds.

Nancy Lecours of Somers has been buying merchandise on the Internet for years without any problems.
But when she ordered a set of national park quarters for her 10-year-old grandson from an established coin Internet business, she thought she got scammed.
Lecours has been using coins to help her grandson learn about geography. She wanted to purchase special quarters that were minted to honor the national parks.
Based on a search on Google she discovered a deal from Littleton Coin Company where she could receive a set of 15 coins for $5.95.
She placed her order on-line and paid for it by American Express.
But when she received the set she also received four other coins and a bill for $19.91 for this "Special Offer" which the company claimed had a $28.45 value.
"I didn't order them and I don't want them," she told CtWatchdog. She asked if she was being scammed.

Former President Of Proprietary School Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison
PHILADELPHIA - James Mannion, 62, of Palm Harbor, Florida, was sentenced to 18 months in prison yesterday for his role in a conspiracy to falsify documents with intent to obstruct the U.S. Department of Education, announced United States Attorney Laurie Magid. Mannion was indicted in October 2008 with two other defendants. In December 2008, he pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the U.S. Department of Education and to obstruct a federal audit. From 2001 to 2005, Mannion was President of the Harrison Career Institute (HCI), a for-profit proprietary school with locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. HCI, while enrolling students in courses, depended heavily on federal student financial aid through the Title IV programs, such as Pell grants and Direct Loans. Mannion, along with the two codefendants who were also HCI employees, fabricated documents and forged student signatures (including Leave of Absence requests /Verification and tax documents) in order to make the files appear compliant with federal regulations.
In addition to the 18-month prison term, United States District Judge Stewart Dalzell ordered Mannion to pay restitution to the U.S. Department of Education in the amount of $115,128.
"School officials who handle Title IV funds clearly risk a jail sentence if they falsify documents or fabricate information in connection with these financial aid programs," said Magid.
This case was investigated by the United States Department of Education's Office of Inspector General. The United States Department of Education's office of Federal Student Aid also provided assistance. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Denise S. Wolf.

The first images of what will be the world's biggest waterslide being built near Auckland have been released.
The 650 metre long waterslide, the brainchild of Auckland men Jimi Hunt and Dan Drupsteen, will be open for public to use during a two-day festival on February 23 and 24 as part of a festival to help combat depression and promote "living more awesome".
Funds raised will be used by the charity Live More Awesome.
In the video just published, Hunt walks through a 'luge-track' style trench cut in the hillside, which includes a 'tunnel' where the slide runs under a fence.
"We're a couple of Kiwi guys who like so many others have really suffered at hands of depression, said co-founder Dan Drupsteen. " It was really tough, but having come out the other side we decided the best way for us to keep depression at bay was to 'Live More Awesome'.
We hope this amazing project will encourage others to do the same and we want people to know it's ok to ask for help," he said.
Three slides are being built down the hillside - the 650 metre long monster, along with two smaller ones - one 80 metres and another 60-metre "grandma slip'n'slide" for the more timid.
Hunt's previous adventures include riding a lilo down the Waikato River.
The men say Live More Awesome was based around the idea that if they continued to strive for better things and "live more awesome" then there was no way that depression would ever get them again. "So far it's working."

I'm in Michigan with 2 regular hives, but am really interested in making a TBH.
I have an extra five frame nuc (deep) with a queen, and was wondering if it is too late in the year to build a TBH, shake in the nuc, and let it build up for winter. Could it get strong enough in time for the cold?
I could feed, and obviously wouldn't take any honey off of it.
If not, I can wait until spring, but would love to get a head start.


text:
The first bees I bought two years ago, I put into a Tanzanian TBH. (bought a nuke) My reasoning at the time was to go ahead and use the frames. One of the colonies died last year, the other has struggled through a lot of adversity to survive, but they did. ( I accidently killed TWO queens in that hive by rolling them against the side of the box with the side of the frame) I have since started using Kenyon TBH's ( much easier to manipulate the bars). I want to move the TTBH to a KTBH. I have built a small 8 bar KTBH to put on top of the bars of the TTBH. I will make the entrance so that the bees have to go through the small hive to get out. I will also put some empty comb from another of my strongest hives up there. Would it be a bad idea to catch the queen and move her up? Or, should I just let them move up on their own. I am putting a divider in the TTBH to make the brood chamber as small as possible.
I know this is long and rambling, sorry!

Common Law and Marriage: Know the Legal Differences

People are choosing to live together in common law relationships in ever greater numbers. Although these relationships very much resemble legal marriages in day-to-day life, the law does not treat them quite the same way. When one spouse dies, the surviving partner can be left in a vulnerable position if proper planning is not in place.

Separate but equal: Swedish Muslim edition
posted at 10:44 am on April 28, 2006 by Allahpundit
As usual nowadays, it's the minority group that's in favor of the idea and the majority that's opposed.
The Swedish Muslim Association, which represents around 70,000 Muslims in Sweden, has sent a letter to all Sweden's main political parties suggesting a number of reforms, SVT's Rapport programme reported.
The proposals include allowing imams into state (public) schools to give Muslim children separate lessons in Islam and their parents' native languages. The letter also said that boys and girls should have separate swimming lessons and that divorces between Muslims should be approved by an imam.
"Segregation" is an ugly word, so naturally they're calling it "freedom of religion" instead. And if all this sounds familiar, it should.
The Swedish integration minister says no way no how no chance will the SMA's request be granted. And, to their credit, the Swedish Muslim Council — the umbrella organization to which the SMA belongs — is reportedly opposed to the idea, too. Which is in keeping with the community's track record: last year, when a Swedish Christian preacher accused Mohammed of having been a pedophile, the head of the country's council of imams explicitly warned Muslims not to respond with violence. Because, after all, they could just sue the preacher instead.
And if that sounds familiar, it should.
I won't belabor the usual points about the dangers of non-assimilation, topical though they are; Mark Steyn writes about them every week, and there are plenty of worthwhile books on the subject. The point is, it is a danger — for all concerned:
Among Swedish Muslims, 39 percent displayed systematic anti-Semitic attitudes as opposed to five percent in the general Swedish population.
In order to compare attitudes toward other religious minorities, some questions in the poll were about Muslims, the largest religious minority in Sweden. There are 18,000 Jews in Sweden and 350,000 Muslims. The poll showed that the intolerant attitudes towards Muslims were higher than those towards Jews.
Two percent of Swedes supported discriminatory measures toward Jews. Only 2.9 percent of Swedes think that there are too many Jews in Sweden, while 24.1 percent feel there are too many Muslims. 6.7 percent also feel that "Muslims ought not be allowed to vote in political elections."
Emphases mine. The Swedish government is paying attention.
Update: A lot of attention.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by martyross, Dec 8, 2012.
Maybe we will see something like this at Nationals
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsxzugW8m50 you're right it is from Nationals.
I actually don't think Tessa and Scott will change their costumes, especially because her dress looks hella expensive.
Thanks! So next time Luca will be all in black And Anna had hairs down Shpilband is a devil
Yes, Scotts costume is expensive too. His costume is from bamboo.
I don't think trying to look more like Tessa and Scott is the right strategy as I found that version of their FD the least impressive. The more they try to look like V&M the more it highlights the huge difference in their abilities. C&L had a fantastic season with their La Strada FD and I don't think they were served well by their coaching team this year. Probably won't make a difference with the judges who seem to only value elements (evidence in the marks I&K are getting ) but as a fan it's disappointing. I don't think Carmen was the right program to follow La Strada. If Igor is playing games I think this move backfired on him as it certainly doesn't help C&L build on the success of their previous season, their best program this year is their SD and iirc Igor didn't choreograph that one. It's clear why he needed Marina.
Maybe i am wrong, but after C-L start doing V-M huge before skating.....
But judges love this - they get such a huge marks at GPF.
I think Carmen good choice for C-L, but with different choreo. And they didnt improve there skating (IMHO). This is sad.
I don't understand your first sentence? When I first heard both teams were doing Carmen I thought it would favour C&L so the choice itself isn't terrible. BUT if Igor knew V&M were doing Carmen (and it seems more and more obvious he did) and C&L didn't know (she said in a press conference when they found out it was too late to change) than that is what I mean by it backfiring because he underestimated what V&M were willing and driven to do with Carmen. They took a gamble and I think it failed. Maybe not for the judges though because again at this stage it seems they don't really care that much about anything but the elements. But for me I lost respect for Igor and I don't find C&L as good as I found them last season, their FD this year reminds me why they aren't on the same level with a team like V&M. I think a different FD without the direct comparison would be more favourable to them.
O, i mean what Tessa and Scott doing before skating, when they still along.
This split is worst for T-S.
tbh tessa's costume has grown on me. at first i didnt like the sleeves and i prefered she wore purple and black but then i found out that is some purple in her costume
honestly, i think the only change she should make is her hair
We'll see. They certainly have the best choreography they've ever had - maybe Igor was holding them back. They said the original Carmen was "ordinary." And I was just thinking how like every season since 2009 V&M have lost to D&W in their first matchup (2009 4CC, 2010 GPF, 2011 Worlds, 2012 GPF, 2013 GPF), but have always gone on to beat them in the rest of the season's events (2009 Worlds, 2010 Olympics/Worlds, 2012 4CC/Worlds). In that sense their career trajectory this season is no different from the Igor days.
And I think C&L are doing great with Carmen/Igor. They usually barely or don't qualify to GPF, and this year they made it and were 4th. I would have never expected them to be beating both Russian couples at a Russian event. They stand a real chance of winning a medal at Euros. It is clear that they are not rivals to V&M, D&W, and P&B, but they're dominating that second tier, when they were usually toward the bottom middle.
Hm, they were too close to P-B in FD at GPF.
And both russian teams skate better, then C-L.
I talked about the split is worst for V-M only because of how he try to copy all, what V-M are doing.
I know, but think about it this way: Would you rather see V&M skating their current Carmen, and C&L doing a generic version, or see V&M doing a generic Carmen and C&L some other dance. I'm happy we got the programs we did and C&L's success is taking nothing away from V&M. Out of all the reasons V&M did not win GPF I am certain that a comparison to C&L's Carmen was not it.
Dont get me wrong. I will be happy with C-L success if they really improve there skating. But how judges could compare P-B with them at GPF? And C-L so slow compare to russian teams....
I agree the dress looks incredibly expensive, but Team V/M is not one to cut corners. If they think they need a new dress to better show off the Tessa and the program, there will be a new dress.
For the longest time, I thought the dress was perfect. It is gorgeous, but the skirt is starting to bug me quite a bit. It's like it has too much fabric, is too long, and it makes Tessa's legs look short.
I think what Pani was trying to say is that C/L are now doing the pre-skate hug thing that V/M do.
I tend to come down on the side that their Carmen FD is doing C/L no real favors. Their skating is obviously improved under Igor in that they finally seem to be consistantly skating like a senior team rather than still looking juniorish in some aspects of their technique. They do a good job with their FD, but it just pales in comparison to the tour de force that is V/M's Carmen. I completely agree with the sentiment that a different FD in which they weren't being compared directly to V/M would have served them better.
I love her hair in the long ponytail! It needs to be contained/controlled somehow, given the demands of that program. I have really long hair, and from my own experiences, the hair would become a huge distraction if it were down and free. Even if it were done like it is for the Hallelujah exhibition, I think it would get in the way. The ponytail still lets Tessa's hair have the element of long and flowing, which the other option of hair control, a bun, wouldn't allow for.
IMO, a lot of the scores/placement at the GPF came down to politics... I do think B/S handed C/L a placement with their mistakes though. Mostly though... politics.
Got it. I think the split was hard on all the teams and they all just had to keep going the best they could. I´ll think they´ll be preparing a lot earlier for next season and make whatever changes needed.
almost everyone is copying/influenced by v/m it just proves how influential they are and how they are the leaders and at the top
its nbd really
That choreography looks so generic. C/L deserve better.
I know,that`s why I always get angry,when commentators,especially the Italian ones,talk about the battle of the Carmens.As if there is even a comparision.Anna is very expressive,but technically she isn`t even on Nathalie`s or Ekaterina`s level.I don`t even want to talk how she would measure up against Tessa.
tbh i dont think there was ever a battle of the carmens
but yeah i still think the italian commentators still love v/m
tessa's fab practice gear comes from this company
I think Tessa could be great model for this company
I think italian commentators are really sweet and love all skaters
i love how one of their newest bodysuits is called "carmen"
hmm i wonder why they called it that
Well, If you look at the testimonials section, Tessa's comments are at the top with her name in bigger font size than the rest (along with an old photo with Scott), so they know she's wearing it. So far, she's worn Allegra, cap sleeve with something, square neck, and zip front with circles. Can't see in the pictures the bodysuit she wore for CoR. I guess if Tessa won't give us a fashion show with her costumes, at least she is giving us one in her practice outfits. <Sigh> Nationals can't come soon enough.
O, yes. Maybe for competitions coaches didnt let her to use so many dresses, like she want, but she could do this in practice. So we will see something new at Nationals.
Guys, anybody know, SkateBuzz will be geoblocked during Nationals and WCh?
Some new photos from GPF press-conference
skatebuzz is now charging ..But I think they'll take your money no matter where you're from... I think CTV and TSN will have online covereage of the parts they televise. I don't know if they geoblock
Thank you!
CTC and TSN are usually have geoblock.
Back from holidays and havent read the thread yet. Hope all is well with our favourites!
welcome back!
no news on tessa and scott, but kaitlyn is injured so w/p will not be skating at nationals.
is anyone going to stars on ice toronto this summer?
Yeah I just got tickets for myself, daughter and granddaughter to go to meet and greet and event in Vancouver. Cannot believe it! I have wanted to go for several years now, and we finally get to go. I am sooooo excited
haven't gotten my ticket yet for the toronto show...

mr clemens sezs:
they don't always continue caring for them and finishing them. Though I carefully grafted a new group of larvae into cell cups, them introduced them to the bees, four out of ten were initially accepted and had begun to be constructed, then tonight, three days later, I checked that cell bar and discovered that even the four that they had begun to care for were no longer in an accepted state, they were empty and had been torn back down to cell cup status.
tecumseh replies:
this is a sign that resources are insufficient for the girls to finish the cells and this is why some folks employee finishing colonies where limited resources or bees will not limit the number of cells that come to completion.
troy ask:
I had read in another thread online that you can use a thin coating of Gorilla Glue to seal it, but that is awfully expensive. Is there a cheaper alternative?
tecumseh replies:
it is quite common here for flat roofed commercial building to be insulated with this kind of expanded foam product. it is my understanding that the product is sealed with an acrylic surface about 5 thousand of an inch thick which protect it from the elements and most especially uv. this dimension is approximately the thinkness of most (heavier bodied) paints. I have not tried this myself (since I don't build stuff using that kind of foam) but I would suspect a coat or so of good quality acrylic paint would work just fine.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › New Take on Tent Stake Windscreen/Potstand – 1oz., One Piece, Fits Inside Mug, No Folding.
Jul 14, 2006 at 3:32 pm #1219015
One ounce, one piece windscreen and potstand that rolls up to fit inside a Snow Peak Trek 700 Mug. Uses braided stainless steel wire for support instead of tent stakes. No parts to fuss with, strong, light and very stable. Same concept as the tent stake design but integrated the potstand and used braided wire instead.
The wire was nylon coated so the discoloration is just the melted nylon coating, please ignore it, I didn't bother stripping it off first.
I tested this on my home gas oven/stove and boiled 16oz. of water 5 times in row on med-high heat (way more heat than any alcohol stove produces) and the braided wire held up perfect. Here's some more pics:
Rolled up inside mug, note that the wire does not need to be loosened or removed, the way it is laced allows it to loosen with the rolled windscreen:
View from the bottom (that's the bottom of the 700 mug on the potstand wire, very stable!):
View of the side showing joining and lacing:
1. Windscreen 28.8 grams – .012″ Aluminum Sheet 13 3/4″ X 4 1/8″. Twenty-six 1/8″ bottom air holes punched every 1/2″, 1/4″ up from bottom edge, starting at center of material which is 6 7/8″ in from either side. Eight 1/16″ lacing holes, 2 1/2″ up from bottom edge punched every 1 23/32″ (1.72″) from center.
Note: when punching holes from the center remember to half the distance on either side of center for your first hole on each side of center, this is because you'll be punching one hole on either side of center and if you don't half it, you'll end up with twice the distance on the holes next to center.
Two 1/8″ deep slits cut into each end edge to join the ends. Rolled around a spray paint can when finished to form it into a cylinder.
2. Potstand 0.4 grams – 35″ of braided stainless steel bead stringing wire from craft store (Beadalon 0.18″ thick, 19 strand flexible, 26 lb. breaking strength). Laced to form a square grid and ends knotted together at first and last holes. The lacing pattern is important because it does not bind as much as other ways, so when the windscreen is rolled the wire shifts around and loosens as the circumfrence shrinks, but pops back into place when opened.
Lacing pattern (assuming the seam where the ends meet in the windscreen is the front and facing you):
1. Tie a bowline knot in one end of the wire. Now, with the other end in your hand, start at first hole on right side of the seam where the ends of the windscreen meet.
From the outside go straight in and across to the opposite hole in the rear, pulling through all your slack, so that the bowline is snug up against the outside of the windscreen.
2. Now go to the right out of the rear hole into the rearmost-side hole and from there across to the opposite rearmost-side hole, pulling through all the slack.
3. Again go to the right out of the rearmost side hole and into the the left-rear hole and across to the opposite front-left hole.
4. Again go to the right out of the front-left hole into the closer left-side hole and across to the opposite closer right-side hole.
5. Finally, tighten up any loose areas and tie off the ends using the bowline you tied in the beginning of the wire and a couple half-hitches or tautline hitch in the trailing end.
The wire is so light that you can carry an extra 35″ backup just in case. I have not experimented with other braided wire, but I'm sure there are others out there. I thought about using a .025 7 strand because it would hold up to the heat better, but this thin 19 strand stuff is surpassing my expectations, so I haven't bothered.Jul 15, 2006 at 5:08 am #1359351
HI. Excellent minimalist design ! I believe creating a good windshield is very important. Slightly conical pot helps with the design and airflow. I have just finished a similar design though not as lightweight as yours which I'll post here soon. Great work. I hope you don't mind if I make a version of your design !Jul 15, 2006 at 8:31 pm #1359367

Looks great. Some issues I have with many "windstands" is that they are a bit fiddly and a pain to deploy. I usually prefer stoves with a built-in stand, but this screen looks like I can finally use some other stand-alone burners with ease. Seems to be a straight-forward 'unroll and start cookng'. Thanks for the photos and instructions for this very nice design.
-MarkJul 15, 2006 at 8:58 pm #1359369
Mark, thanks for the feedback. Yes it is very quick to deploy. Ease of use and hassle free was my main objective when making this piece of gear. Somehow the idea of using tent stakes for the potstand didn't make sense in the multiple use gear scenerio: need to cook, get two stakes, shelter falls down?
If you can strip the nylon coating off the wire before lacing, this makes it unroll and join much easier. When the nylon coating melts it creates little hard blobs along the lacing and it can add fiddle factor.
Be sure to adjust the height of the lacing holes to accomodate your burner flame height.
Best, JhauraJul 15, 2006 at 9:02 pm #1359370
Ian, cool, glad you like it. I'm still experimenting with the air gap between the windscreen and pot, right now I use 1/4″. Let me know if you find a better gap width for use with alcohol type stoves. I'll keep an eye out for your post! If you make one like this one here, post pics in this thread so I can check out your unique take on it. Thanks, JhauraJul 17, 2006 at 11:47 am #1359406

Hi again. I'm new at this and have only made 3 different stoves. From my experience the air inlet holes are an issue, do I have many small holes or fewer bigger ones? All around the base or just some of the way around the base? To me the idea of using a conical shaped pot and wind shield is the best so I am always looking in the kitchen section of shops to see what they have. I want to make almost exactly your design but the wind shield would be made from another pot modified. It would then easily store in the pot. My first design was pretty much that, but the pots were square (tapering from top to bottom)which was surprisingly good.Jul 18, 2006 at 5:52 am #1359434
Me again !
If the wind shield is laid out flat then it would 'arc' I'm sure. Did you determine this arc by slowly rolling the pot by hand on the wind shield material while at the same time drawing the arc ? Know what I mean !?!

Electra group: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18446.html
Love it!!!!!
I bought the Clover fork pins at a local quilt shop. I am teaching this method at our guild retreat in April and someone in the group did an online search and found plenty of places that sell them. Amazon has them.
Interesting concept will try it
Glad for your tut on QAYG. I have one I have partially done whichI need a question answered on before finishing. I liked the idea, but the seams of the blocks are showing. The long armer said I would need to put a piece of backing over the entire back to remedy the seams of the blocks.
Is that my best bet or can you suggest something else. I thought of having done French Seams, but you still have the seams showing.
Please pm me so I don't miss your response.
Have a wonderful Quilting Day, make it your way!
Martha Tompkins
Thanks for the tute....am working on quilts for Project Linus....will try this method!!!
There is no place like home!
I'm going to try it for my next quilt-thanks!
Great job and I know the people that receive these quilts will appreciate them. Great job.
I don't have a frame, so will have to try this. Thanks for the great instructions.
Cheryl, hiding away in my quilting studio
I have thought of this,but I had not tried it . now I know it will work.Thanks for sharing .

[Article]-Course Review: Digital Mobile Forensics Deep Dive

Digital Mobile Forensics Deep Dive is a 3-day course written and taught by Wayne Burke of Sequrit. I decided to take this course to expend my knowledge into a field I barely knew. Being a penetration tester with a background in web application development, I was completely new to the forensic world. Since the official web site stated that this was a "highly advanced and technical course," I honestly expected to be completely lost. I thought I would learn more from home after the class, trying to slowly digest what the instructor said. With the site also stating that "about 80% of the course is focused on practical REAL WORLD hands-on lab scenario exercises," I decided to buy an airplane ticket and give it a try.
I received the lab requirements by email directly from the instructor, Wayne Burke. The email included the laptop specifications and software that had to be installed such as VMware Workstation. The instructor also mentioned needing Backtrack 5 and CAINE (Computer Aided INvestigative Environment) virtual machines. So I cleaned up some space on my laptop, downloaded what I needed and installed the two VMs. I was eager to start the class.

Awesome product !
The main reason why I bought this oil is because of its ingredients Argan and Jojoba oils. Im extremely pleased with this purchase. This oil blend is just amazing It has a thinner consistency and absorbs quickly into the skin (especially if skin is damp as oils are observed more quickly that way). I mostly use it for my hair and its just fantastic on dry curls non greasy and very deep conditioning. Additionally I also found out its an excellent skin moisturizer.I use it at bedtime as an anti-age face massage its become my night beauty ritual. I highly recommend this oil for anyone interested in affordable quality hair & skin care products.

Wonderful oil for skin, hair and nails!
I have dried skin, hair and wrinkle nails, from my study I know that Argan oil, collagen, and Hyaluronic acid are good to solve my problem, from Skin, Hair and Nail Oil by Derma E I got Jojoba oil and Kukui oil too. So I use Skin, Hair and Nail Oil everyday after taking shower I mixed this one with my moisturizer and apply all over my body, but for nails and hair I apply this product directly. It is very good and I plan to buy again.
It can solve my problem for dried skin, hair and nails. It is so much cheap and I love it now.

My roadmap to InfoSec
I'm new to this community, but I have read a lot of good & interesting articles in here and that's the reason why I need your advice
I'm currently working as a network administrator for about 4 years now (it's my first job) and would like to go deeper into InfoSec. I spent most time of my day on router, switch and firewall shells, so I've got quite good networking fundamentals. Beside this I am a LPI - certfied Linux fanboy - well, I don't use Windows unless there's no other way, like in the world of Active Directory and I am a VMware enthusiast, because I love this technology and its impact.
I've got coding knowledge in VB.NET, PHP/SQL and basic ASM, C++.
Now I would like to realign my focus on InfoSec like attack and prevention mechanisms. I'm interested in InfoSec for over a year now and already have some basic fundamentals (like WebSecurity, BufferOverflows, usage of Metasploit and some other common tools) but I'm missing the in-depth details. That's the reason why I started to blog about things but this only helps a little. Now I've read a lot about certifications on EH and think those courses and (practical) exams are the best way to learn the details.
I'm currently thinking of going this way during the next 2 years:
CEH -> eCPPT Pro -> OSCP -> OSCE
(Taking the CEH and eCPPT Pro until summer, and the OSCP until end of 2012).
What do you think ?
By the way: My problem is that I have to pay most of the courses/exams out of my own pocket because my employer doesn't want to pay them. I hope that they'll pay at least the CEH
Thanks & Regards

I had a hive that appeared to be my largest population. Both this year and last. This hive didn't produce anymore than the others last year but seemed to have a larger population, was always bearding far more than the other hives and just seemed to have more activity than the others. Filled frames faster, expanded sooner etc etc.
When the hives started showing significant activity this year again this hive seemed much more active and seemed to come out of winter with a larger population.
The first time I got into this hive it seemed like it consumed far more stores than the other hives and was the only hive that I felt I need to add stores to. I added two extra frames of honey from last year.
When the weather had a stretch of warm days I then went into the hive again to do a bit further inspection. This hive seemed to have lost a large portion of it's population from the check 2-3 weeks earlier. This was also the only hive that had any significant amount of dead bees in the bottom board. The hive had some capped brood and some larva but not a significant amount and I found no new eggs.
One week later this hive seems to have some capped brood and no larva, so I'm assuming the queen either died or left.
I did do a mite check on all the hive and this hive appears to have as many mites as the other ones with 2-3 times the population.
My only guesses would be A) this hive swarmed. However this would have had to have happened in mid March which seems unlikely...although we have had insane weather. B) Some disease, parasite killed the queen and many bees although there didn't seem to be nearly as many dead bees as there were missing. C) of course I could have squished the queen in early march late Feb when I added the frames of honey, but I find that unlikely since I only messed with the top box and only outside frames.
Can mites take out a hive like this so early? Can mites kill the queen?
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
As to what to do with this hive I decided to add a frame of capped brood and a frame of 1-2 day old eggs from another hive. Will do this once a week for a couple weeks. Hopefully they will raise a queen and the added brood will boost population...if not this ones a goner.

Piepho Campaign support
Original post made by Hal Bailey, another community, on Nov 18, 2007
The 2004 Piepho campaign listed me as a supporter. My only role was fair provision of campaign information from Ms. Greenberg and Ms. Piepho to Alamo Region neighborhoods.
The 2008 Piepho campaign lists Mr. Michael Gibson as a supporter without his permission or participation. Mike has kindly explained his similar experience to mine in 2004 and notified the Piepho campaign to remove his name from the supporter listings.
It is important for individuals serving our community to maintain independence from campaigns so they can fairly provide information on issues from a perspective as an Alamo Region neighbor. We can thank Mike Gibson for his independence and the expertise he can provide as explanation of issues impacting the Alamo Region.

I assure all readers of Danville Weekly and/or this blog that any endorsement reflected on my endorsement list for election or re-election as a County Supervisor has been received in writing. I am honored to have such an outstanding group of elected and community leaders along with many grass roots supporters behind me as I begin my campaign for re-election. Mary Nejedly Piepho

on Nov 19, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Many thanks to the supervisor for her clarification that mistakes can happen in listings of supporters. We can be quite certain that a majority of supporters listed are confirmed supporters and are listed at their request.
It has been a convenience to neighborhoods throughout District 3 to have a listing of the supervisor's supporters for contact and clarification of the voting majority's opposition to the supervisor's re-election. Most do not oppose the supervisor as an individual, but fully oppose the many actions sponsored during the past 3+ years.
Once again, Alamo neighbors will be making sure all candidates get fair distribution of their campaign positions among community e-chains so our neighbors can make personal, informed choices.
Let the campaign begin!

Sergio was just perfect with us. Despite all the changes i had to bring, he always answered to my questions, very available on What's App. Thank you so much Sergio. The place is very quite, nice, clean. You can have a lot of smells very nice all the morning. The brunch is situed front the B&B in a little bar.
The place is well situated, ten minutes walking to the Colosseo, and fifteen of Piazza Venezia.
Sergio was very friendly with us. The room was clean and confortable and the apartment is near to downtown. It was a great experience.
A small, very quiet and cosy appartment. It is well and easely connected with the metro and the train.
Sergio was really friendly, professionnal gave us a lot of informations. To be recommended.
The room is lovely- air conditioned which I think is important in Rome in the summer, en suite bathroom, lots of space, great kitchen and a perfect pizza take away downstairs- best pizza we've had in Italy so far.
It literally is 10 min from the Colosseum, 2 min from the underground and another 10 min from the Rome's central bus station.
Sergio is very friendly and knowledgeable, will provide you with a tourist map of the city, we just wished we had more time to spend in Rome.
Was a great time in Roma. Thank you for the nice room :-)
We had a nice stay at this B&B. Friendly staff and clean room.
Everything was really good and i definitely recommend staying at this place! Great room, nice host and a really good location - best place to stay in rome.
Great locaction near metro. Very friendly host who gave us a lot of useful information. Room was simple but comfortable and very quiet considering being in the city center. We would always like to return.
Everything was alright. The room was old, but very cozy.
The location was very good:
1 Min to the Metro Station and 5 min from the Trainstation.
The breakfast was in a Café-Bar next to the room and included a coffee and a croissant.
Sergio was a polite guy.
One minus point is that in our room the Wifi don't works. But who needs the internet on his holiday.
Thank you for the nice weekend.
Peter and Julia
A verry nice place to stay ! charming and clean ! just near a metro station... and just a bit out of the touristic fury. Perfect !

My wifes Great ....etc. Grandmother passed the story down to her children that he was indeed alive and well after the tobacco barn incident. And that he hid out at her house for about a month or so in hiding. He then feared that people would recognize him so he left for Kentucky.Originally Posted by Custer
When you came down to 's house and hit the WV/PA line just outside of Hundred, you were probably less 2 miles from where he was hid out. As a matter of fact, there are still some Booths that live in the area.
No way to prove it, but the ol' lady told it for gospel truth. Guess she would know her own brother.

text: I've got a list of weekend projects that I'm just flat-out not going to be able to do. Among them are: 1) Fence repair after the last storm. Might just hire someone to replace a section of fence. 2) Fix a couple of blinds that are out. 3) Replace a bunch of burned out lights ... seems like the compact flourescent lights are a joke, they maybe last 2x or 3x what old lightbulbs last ... looks like one of them just about melted down on me, not happy with that. 4) Have to clean up my office a little bit, getting ready to take on some more side projects and have to have a neat and clean home office. 5) Have to fix the sectional couch that keeps coming apart. I might just bolt them together and be done with it. 6) Need to price out getting a shed put up in the backyard so I can move stuff out of the garage. 7) Need to spackel the walls and touch-up paint in about a dozen areas. Yeah, that's about it for now.

When an AK is manufactured in semi-auto only, the little lug on the bolt carrier that trips any full-auto lever is machined off. Plus, the hammer on a semi-auto only AK is machined not to allow that little trip lever to fit under the front of it; not to mention the fact that the receiver does not have the extra hole required for that trip lever to be installed.
I've rebuilt a number of AK's recently and nowhere did I ever hear of the need to change the bolt carrier. Ive used all 922 compliant parts (Nodak Spud receivers) and fire control group but kept the original bolt carrier.
Is this a problem?
