After installing package bees with foundation frame only, how long before you should be seeing bees bringing in pollen? Installed yesterday and a little curious.
After installing package bees with foundation frame only, how long before you should be seeing bees bringing in pollen? Installed yesterday and a little curious.
If pollen is available for forage, I suspect you will see them hauling it in on their hind legs over the next few days.
New packages need a few days to settle and orient themselves. I suggest watching for a couple weeks before snooping.
Have seen pollen coming in within a couple hours from turning them out. Re-orientation only takes a few minutes, and the foragers go to work promptly.
I see them coming and going, but not seeing and pollen packs on there legs. Should I be worried?
If they were installed on foundation they need to have somewhere to store the pollen, so they may not immediately bring it in, but surely after a few days they will once they get some comb drawn, and you should be feeding sugar syrup continually. John
Thanks for the replays. Yes I am feeding sugar water to them, I was thinking the same thing, that maybe they need a couple of days to draw comb, but just got the new beekeepers jitters I guess.
the swarms i caught recently didn't bring in much pollen for a few days. it takes an egg 3.5 days to hatch, and once there are larvae in the hive, you should see more pollen coming in.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I assume you are feeding? Bees that are severely short of nectar or syrup will not bring pollen. The mechanism is based on the feeding formula that foragers get from the nurse bees. If the ratio of protein is low, they bring pollen, if the ratio of syrup is too low, they concentrate on finding nectar in the wild.
Often you can see how well things are going in the hive, w/o opening it. I believe wcubed (WWW) noted in one of his articles that bees that are not bringing in pollen when brood rearing should be booming need feeding. I find that bees w/o brood hardly forage at all. The bees simply look unmotivated.

the pacakage i installed 3 weeks ago tomorrow was bringing it back in a couple of days.
I'm the dude, so that's what you call me.
Thanks for the replays. Yes I am feeding, it just took a few days and then I saw the pollen pouches coming in. I was just unsure about when I should be seeing it.

Where I stayed
Octopus Resort
What I did
Rob, Kris' and Michael's bathroom (there was a tree in it!!!!!)
The weather was tropically and the atmosphere relaxed as we spoke our vows and laughed the afternoon way.
There was all that is expected at a 'normal' wedding,
walking down the isle,
amazing bouquets,
stunning bridesmaids,
hilarious groom men,
a photographer,
a cake,
throwing of the bouquet,
our first dance ect ect..
but there was a slight twist,
shall we say a slight island twist of fiji culture, customs and a overall Beach theme. I will explain below;
In true Fiji style the ''wedding' itself was only organised the day before the event. My bridal waltz comprised of four local Fijians playing an unheard tune. The 'arch' was made out of colourful tropical flowers, not a typical arch if you ask me.
The isle meandered through rocks to get to the patch of sand were my handsome husband awaited. The reception dinner was made from a traditional Fijian Lova. Yum Yum! (well i think it was, as I was too busy talking to eat!)
Our entertainment for the night was a local choir and dancers. All of these reasons made our day extra special and we loved it all but one of the stand out highlights for me was when my dad and I started to walk down the isle.
I had been in side all day you see, so it felt bloody fantastic when I stepped out into a clear picturesque day with the sun shinning on me
I took a moment to dig my toes into the warm golden sand (this maybe because I was stuck on a nail) and I thought ahhhhhhhh this is Bliss and this is how I wanted to feel on my wedding day.
I looked eagerly down the beach, spotting my husband and our closest loved ones waiting for us. So I decided to make my way down to say G'day
A big thanks to all who travelled such a long way to be with us, as it would have not been the same without you there.

Maddalena muy simpática y la verdad nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitamos. El apartamento es muy acogedor con unas vistas impresionantes y en el centro de la ciudad por lo que pudimos ir andando a todos sitios. A pesar de ser un quinto piso las escaleras son cómodas de subir. Si vuelvo a Florencia sin duda me quedo aquí de nuevo
El apartamento es perfecto!! No es muy grande, pero es perfecto para estar 3 personas! Esta super en el centro, a 10 segundo de la Piazza Santa Croce. Des de la terraza del apartamento se puede observar todo Florencia, el duomo, el palazzo Vechio.. es muy bonito al atardecer.
La amfitriona Maddalena es muy agradable y nos dió consejos de donde podíamos ir a comprar etc.. además teniamos el Mercato de San Ambroggio a 5 minutos, y pudimos comer pasta, fruta y verdura fresca de calidad!!
Lo recomiendo mucho!!!!
The flat is very nice and appointed!!
The view is awesome...
Maddalena is very nice and has a lot of good tips!
I really enjod the time!!
What you see on the photo's is what you get. Is realy in the middel of the centrem. All on walking distance. Had a nice time there.
The host, Maddalena, was very communicative and helpful.
It was a long climb to the apartment on the 5th floor, but the view from the roof terrace was terrific: Duomo, Signoria and Santa Croce. The apartment was well-equiped, quiet and comfy.
Leaving the bicycle outside in nightly Florence was not a good idea as it got damaged.
Wimdu promised a special price on its website, but made us pay 77 EUR more. I made a screen shot of the special offer. Despite our complaint the price issue is still not settled.
We had a great time in the apartment. It looks exactly as shown in the internet.
It is a great place to stay in the centre of Florence, everything is near to it.
There's a nice terrace with an amazing view !!!
Maddalena is very kind, answers all the time and helps you with everything!
I think it is one of the best places to stay in Firenze!!
I had a wonderful month in Florence and Maddalena was the perfect host. She is helpful, generous and friendly and I would definitely come back to the Fancy Apartment. It's in the ideal position, very close to the main attractions yet so peaceful.
Excellent; even better than expected. Carefully managed. Wonderful location. Maddalena was nice, helpful and friendly. Absolutely not a disadvantage, just to keep in mind that the staircase is really steep that may annoy elderly people, and it maybe to think about mosquitoes guard - but that is due to the city, not the appt. Once more, a lot of thanks to Maddalena!
Maddalena was a fantastic host. She made you feel right at home. We had a fantastic time in Florence and at Maddalenas corky and lovely apartment that was right in the heart of the city and had a wonderful view.
This charming apartment had everything you could ask for!

OK, I'm getting ready to start the buying parts phase on a x25 gas operated carbine. So far, here is my plan:
Apex AK74 kit for main components. (what I don't need, I can stockpile or sell) $265.00
Royal Tiger PPS43 kit for the magwell and 4 mags. $69.00
RTG for HK sight conversion kit. $45.00
Green Mountain for a .311 barrel blank that I will have another lister finish for me. $33.00
I have read tons of information on the 7.62x25 caliber conversion, but there is a fair amount of conflicting information. I plan to try and follow 2XTM's write up over at Weapons Guild on building a gas op set-up. His is absolutely georgeous, and runs perfect. Only problem is that his is designed around a nice machined aluminum magwell, and PPSH41 mags. If I had access to one of those magwells, it sure would make life easier. Oh well.
Any rate, that is my current thoughts on a parts list. Before I start burning up the plastic, I wanted to run it by the experts, so I don't buy something wrong. Thanks in advance.

One afternoon in May 1861, a young Union Army officer went rushing into the mansion that commanded the hills across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. "You must pack up all you value immediately and send it off in the morning," Lt. Orton Williams told Mary Custis Lee, wife of Robert E. Lee, who was away mobilizing Virginia's military forces as the country hurtled toward the bloodiest war in its history.
From This Story
Mary Lee dreaded the thought of abandoning Arlington, the 1,100-acre estate she had inherited from her father, George Washington Parke Custis, upon his death in 1857. Custis, the grandson of Martha Washington, had been adopted by George Washington when Custis' father died in 1781. Beginning in 1802, as the new nation's capital took form across the river, Custis started building Arlington, his showplace mansion. Probably modeled after the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, the columned house floated among the Virginia hills as if it had been there forever, peering down upon the half-finished capital at its feet. When Custis died, Arlington passed to Mary Lee, his only surviving child, who had grown up, married and raised seven children and buried her parents there. In correspondence, her husband referred to the place as "our dear home," the spot "where my attachments are more strongly placed than at any other place in the world." If possible, his wife felt an even stronger attachment to the property.
On April 12, 1861, Confederate troops had fired on the federal garrison at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, prompting a number of states from the Deep South to join in rebellion. President Abraham Lincoln, newly installed in the White House, called up 75,000 troops to defend the capital. As the spring unfolded, the forces drifted into Washington, set up camp in the unfinished Capitol building, patrolled the city's thoroughfares and scrutinized the Virginia hills for signs of trouble. Although officially uncommitted to the Confederacy, Virginia was expected to join the revolt. When that happened, Union troops would have to take control of Arlington, where the heights offered a perfect platform for artillery—key to the defense or subjugation of the capital. Once the war began, Arlington was easily won. But then it became the prize in a legal and bureaucratic battle that would continue long after the guns fell silent at Appomattox in 1865. The federal government was still wrestling the Lee family for control of the property in 1882, by which time it had been transformed into Arlington National Cemetery, the nation's most hallowed ground.
Orton Williams was not only Mary Lee's cousin and a suitor of her daughter Agnes but also private secretary to General in Chief Winfield Scott of the Union Army.
Working in Scott's office, he had no doubt heard about the Union Army's plans for seizing Arlington, which accounts for his sudden appearance there. That May night, Mrs. Lee supervised some frantic packing by a few of the family's 196 slaves, who boxed the family silver for transfer to Richmond, crated George Washington's and G.W.P. Custis' papers and secured General Lee's files. After organizing her escape, Mary Lee tried to get some sleep, only to be awakened just after dawn by Williams: the Army's advance upon Arlington had been delayed, he said, though it was inevitable. She lingered for several days, sitting for hours in her favorite roost, an arbor south of the mansion. "I never saw the country more beautiful, perfectly radiant," she wrote to her husband. "The yellow jasmine in full bloom and perfuming the air; but a death like stillness prevails everywhere."
The general, stranded at a desk in Richmond, feared for his wife's safety. "I am very anxious about you," he had written her on April 26. "You have to move, & make arrangements to go to some point of safety....War is inevitable & there is no telling when it will burst around you."
By this time, he almost certainly knew that Arlington would be lost. A newly commissioned brigadier general in the Confederate Army, he had made no provision to hold it by force, choosing instead to concentrate his troops some 20 miles southwest, near a railroad junction at Manassas, Virginia. Meanwhile, Northern newspapers such as the New York Daily Tribune trained their big guns on him—labeling him a traitor for resigning his colonel's commission in the Union Army to go south "in the footsteps of Benedict Arnold!"
The rhetoric grew only more heated with the weather. Former Army comrades who had admired Lee turned against him. None was more outspoken than Brig. Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs, a fellow West Point graduate who had served amicably under Lee in the engineer corps but now considered him an insurgent. "No man who ever took the oath to support the Constitution as an officer of our army or navy...should escape without loss of all his goods & civil rights & expatriation," Meigs wrote to his father. He urged that Lee as well as Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who also had resigned from the federal Army to join the enemy, and Confederate President Jefferson Davis "should be put formally out of the way if possible by sentence of death [and] executed if caught."
When Johnston resigned, Meigs had taken his job as quartermaster general, which required him to equip, feed and transport a rapidly growing Union Army—a task for which Meigs proved supremely suited. Vain, energetic, vindictive and exceptionally capable, he would back up his belligerent talk in the months and years ahead. His own mother conceded that the youthful Meigs had been "high tempered, unyielding, tyrannical...and very persevering in pursuit of anything he wants." Fighting for control of Arlington, he would become one of Lee's most implacable foes.
By mid-May, even Mary Lee had to concede that she could not avoid the impending conflict. "I would have greatly preferred remaining at home & having my children around me," she wrote to one of her daughters, "but as it would greatly increase your Father's anxiety I shall go." She made an eerily accurate prediction: "I fear that this will be the scene of conflict & my beautiful home endeared by a thousand associations may become a field of carnage."
She took a final turn in the garden, entrusted the keys to Selina Gray, a slave, and followed her husband's path down the estate's long, winding driveway. Like many others on both sides, she believed that the war would pass quickly.
On May 23, 1861, the voters of Virginia approved an ordinance of secession by a ratio of more than six to one. Within hours, columns of Union forces streamed through Washington and made for the Potomac. At precisely 2 a.m. on May 24, some 14,000 troops began crossing the river into Virginia. They advanced in the moonlight on steamers, on foot and on horseback, in swarms so thick that James Parks, a Lee family slave watching from Arlington, thought they looked "like bees a-coming."


text: I'm going to be making a CowboysZone Themed WP and im looking for imput from people who visit the site. I've talked this over with Hostile and he agreed that having members imput is the best way to go on this. What im asking for is a Slogan to go along with CowboysZone. something catchy and original. Something you think of when you think of the Dallas Cowboys and this website. And i guess players to be used. as ill be making series of these. The first Wallpaper will just be the Website name and slogan with some effects no player. As i really do think the people who contribute their time to making this site work are doing a great job. over the yrs i've seen this forum, but i never knew just how big it actually was. So to salute the admins, the mods and the posters i'm going to make this with your imput. Just a gift of appreciation for having a Cowboys msg board dedicated solely on the Dallas Cowboys. Good football talk all the time. So get your ideas in and i can get going on this CowboysZone WP series. i guess u can post your slogan and players you'd like to see and i can get an idea of what players u guys would like to see. As far as the slogan used, i guess the one with the most backing would be used.

I know the pattern you are talking about and I have lusted after it for a while now. Hmmmm, maybe I should just give it a go on my own? Love the way yours turned out!!! Wonderful!


text: So I tried doing the simplest task ever in a car, replacing spark plugs. Well it didn't work even with using the proper tools I broke the first spark plug I tried to take out. The metal snapped not the insulator, so now I have part of a spark plug stuck in the cylinder of the truck and I can't drive it anywhere. I know the only real way to fix it is drive it to a shop, but I'm not sure I can drive it with out possible damage to the engine. My mom's friend is a certified GM tech I will be asking him to look at it next week. I'm so frigging pissed, how the **** does that happen!?!?:grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr:

AOL breaks U.S. video industry records, tops comScore rankings in September
Oct 17, 2013
In just one month since we completed the acquisition of Adap.tv, we're proud to announce that both parties are already reaping the benefits.
Earlier today, comScore released the U.S. Online Video Rankings for September; AOL not only tops the list of online video ad properties for the month, but also served up 3.7 billion (yes, that's with a "b") video ads -- the largest number by a single property ever recorded by comScore*.
This is the first public data combining both Adap.tv and AOL as one unit, and these results reaffirm the significance of the acquisition and speak to the bright future that lies ahead in video. Specifically, Adap.tv is uniquely positioned to accelerate programmatic ad buying across a bevy of premium publishers and brand advertisers -- and indeed, it already has.
We recently highlighted our leadership position in programmatic at our first-ever Programmatic Upfront, where five of the top six media holding companies committed to programmatic ad packages with AOL in 2014. Adap.tv was also named by IPG's MAGNA GLOBAL unit as its preferred video technology platform, accelerating the agency's client successes across digital, mobile and linear television. The belief is that by eliminating the many points of friction and manual processes within advertising transactions, we can explode creativity and spotlight the incredible work being done in video advertising.

Many prison problems have persisted or gotten worse for years. So why hasn't the Maine State Prison Board of Visitors, the blue-ribbon panel of five citizens appointed by the governor to oversee the way the prison is run, corrected at least some of the problems? This is a recurrent question among people concerned with prison issues.
To look into this question is to have a glimpse into a black hole of officialdom. The Board of Visitors, first set up 78 years ago, is composed of officials who generally meet in secret and rarely — if ever — challenge the administrators they oversee. The board didn't even get around to writing and giving to the Legislature its legally required annual reports for the past four years until last month, after the Phoenix asked to see them (see sidebar, "Miraculous Appearances").

Prison warden resigns
Amid the turmoil swirling around the Maine State Prison, Warden Jeffrey Merrill announced his resignation at an August 10 prison-staff meeting. The state Corrections Department said he would be given a new job leading the department's energy-conservation efforts. Commissioner Martin Magnusson will take over day-to-day prison management, though Merrill, who had been warden for 14 years, will remain at the prison for several months to help in the transition to a new warden.
The department has been strapped for cash, but deputy commissioner Denise Lord said Merrill would be paid with funds from "a vacant position." She said she didn't know what his salary would be. Asked if Magnusson had asked Merrill to leave, she replied: "He and the commissioner have been talking for several months now about options for him." She said Merrill was "ready to take on new responsibilities."
Denise Altvater, who runs a youth group at the Passamaquoddy reservation in Perry and was appointed last year, refused to talk with this reporter. Ed Courtenay, of Warren, a former prison guard supervisor who has served on the board for 13 years, crisply says he sees the board's role as limited and expresses deference to prison officials. The woman who had been the fifth member, Kendra Bryant, a Rockland psychologist, resigned earlier this year after two years on the board, and has not been replaced.

Plenty of Fulbrights
Four faculty members, one graduate student and one undergraduate received Fulbright awards for the 201213 academic year.
Dr. Claire Badaracco, professor emerita of communication, will research peace and policy studies at the Center for International Conflict Resolution at the University of Ulster in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
Dr. Joseph Daniels, professor of economics, is in Canada this fall for his second Fulbright, which he is spending at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Daniels is studying how patriotic and nationalistic attitudes after 9/11 have shaped U.S. and Canadian residents' views of trade, immigration and foreign direct investment policies.
Dr. Jodi Melamed, associate professor of English and Africana studies, is teaching two graduate-level courses at Humboldt University in Berlin this fall. It's familiar territory; she was one of the first American undergraduates to conduct research at the Bertolt Brecht Archive in the old East section of the city after the Berlin Wall came down.
Dr. Steven Long, associate professor of speech pathology and audiology, took Spanish classes for the past four years to achieve fluency. His hard work will pay off in spring 2013, when he teaches an advanced course in evaluation and treatment of patients with unintelligible speech at the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, a 400-year-old Jesuit university in Argentina.
Kellen Plaxco, a theology graduate student, is spending the year at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium studying the texts of Didymus the Blind a Coptic Church theologian and head of the Catechetical School of Alexandria.
Aaron Owen, H Sci '12, is spending the year at Universidad de El Salvador studying the dietary choices of Salvadorans who have been exposed to modernization. He hopes to quantify the impact of globalization on the traditional food culture of the region and on overall public health. LCS

Subscribe to this Chargers blog Go to the front pageGates, Tomlinson miss Friday practice, are questionable to play Saturday
If it's the postseason, the San Diego Chargers must be dealing with injuries. This time, it's running back LaDainian Tomlinson and tight end Antonio Gates who are hurt.via NFL.com
Tomlinson has a strained groin and abdominal muscles after fighting through a toe injury for most of the season. Gates has a high ankle sprain. Neither participated in practice Friday and are listed as questionable for Saturday night's AFC Wild Card Game against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Chargers defeated the Colts in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game last year with Tomlinson and quarterback Philip Rivers on the sidelines. In fact, the Chargers' winning drive was directed by backup QB Billy Volek. Still, the Chargers probably would prefer to go with their full compliment of players Saturday.
Colts already have proven they can win at Qualcomm, yet the Chargers have won three of the last four including last year in the playoffs.
Colts will sling the ball; Chargers want to make them hurry
The Indianapolis Colts recently have struggled against teams that run 3-4 defenses.
Not this season. The Colts are 5-0 when facing the scheme, including a 23-20 road victory over the San Diego Chargers in Week 12.via NFL.com
But will that carry over Saturday night against a red-hot Chargers team that has averaged 37.3 points during a four-game winning streak that brought them the AFC West title and a playoff spot? Can San Diego slow down an even-hotter Indianapolis team that has won nine straight and is averaging 25.3 points per game since its last loss?

I was given a hive that belonged to my neighbor. He fell into bad health about 2 yrs. ago and hasn't done much with his bees since then. He had this one hive left that he has given to me. It's woodware was in terrible shape and falling apart. It was a depp body with 3 shallows on top. This hive did get apistan strips and terramican(sp) this past fall. When we opened it up there were still 2 apistan strips in the super.
The supers had some frames, but no foundation so there is comb everywhere. The brood box only had 9 frames and some had no foundation so it is a mess. The frames in the brood box weren't cross nailed so when I pried up the top bars started pulling off. I kind of knew what to expect so I had a lot of tools with me.
I broke the hive all the way down and swapped the 9 frames from the broodbox into a new box and bottom board placed where the old one sat. When I seperated each super I tore comb to pieces as they had built everywhere due to no foundation and overcrowding. This hive was absolutely packed with bees.
So now here is what I've got. As I said I placed the 9 frames from old brood box into new and shook out old box into new. I couldn't fit another frame as the comb was doubled on some frames. On top of that I placed a brood box with 10 frames with wax foundation. Above that are 3 new shallow super boxes with the comb and frames from the broken rotted supers I took off. As I said these frames had no foundation and some boxes only had 7 or 8 frames so the comb is a mess. When I got done there was torn and dripping honeycomb in a pile on a board that I worked over. I put a new inner cover and a telescoping cover over that. There were bees absolutely everywhere. I'm pretty sure the queen is in the lower brood box but I did find capped queen cells, some of which I destroyed.
How can I get this hive straightened out? How can I get the frames in the lower brood box cleaned out so I can replace them? How can I straighten out these supers, they are packed with honey, but as I said they had apistan strips in them.

Hi Sergio
My son can only eat soups when his wisdom tooth plays up, so until he has it operated i eats high protein soups.
Four bean soup is great:

Re: Big help please!
sergio nice to see you back , you should call in more often .
It was only for the first few days that my family used to find it painful and sore to eat so they just ate soft foods that they fancied.
( and yes this was used to their advantage to get those lovely soft sweet deserts !)
After those first few days the discomfort would settle down and they would be back to normal with their meals , just being a bit careful of the brace.
soft warming casserole type dishes that have been slow cooked for hours so the meat is almost falling apart with mashed potato was good. with plenty of rich norishing gravey.
I often mash something like parsnip or sweede into the potato as well .
savory rice, with small chopped saute vegetables added.
Very fine noodles with fine chopped veg or meat and a good sauce.
Fish... fish is soft and so that shuls also be fine to try and eat.
Not much puts my family off their food as you can see !

Scrambled eggs are high in protein and need no chewing . Just make them over a low heat and constant stirring so they come out with a very small curd .
Did you have to have any teeth extracted for fitting the braces? I would avoid spicy foods or gritty foods( things that have small hard pieces) if so.

Re: Big help please!
Lentil soup. If you use red lentils they will disintegrate into a puree once cooked. I fry onions, carrots and potatoes, diced small, then add the lentils and some ham stock. I use a pressure cooker to cook til the lentils are soft; on the hob it takes about an hour and a half boiling. once the lentils are done, the other veg will be very soft. You can use a hand blender or potato masher to make it totally smooth if you want.
This is high in protein and very comforting. Sorry about no quantities, I do this by eye and the amount of lentils depends on individual taste anyway - some like it quite thin, some so thick you can stand your spoon up in it! In any case, it thickens as it stands.

Re: Big help please!
Hi sergio1972,
When my daughter had to have some major dental work and braces as a follow up, she could eat food that was made with finely minced beef, pork or chicken.
Meat balls were her special favourite because of their soft texture but she still felt as if she was getting something other than soup.
Soft boiled, poached or scrambled eggs with warm bread, toast was too hard to eat.
Poached chicken finely minced and made into dumplings poached with some very finely chopped veggies and noodles, mournay's are out of fashion but she could eat those as well.
I would have made her fish because of how soft it is, but she doesn't like it. Fish cakes, fish poached, fish in white sauce etc.
Nothing crumbed or crusted though, that tends to get into the braces.

Dim Sum is prety soft. Vietnamese Pho is something I had in BanhMi 11 last week, seriously tasty. Minestrone is a good one that Jamie has online somewhere.
Are Brakes brackets the same as braces?
I had a brace as a tenager for a while, what a pain that was.

Hi everybody!
Ok first things first: as I said, I really miss you guys, unfortunately (or better, fortunately) I've been very busy with my trainings. Its the first year of my company and I'm all alone which means Im doing everything from scratch, translating manuals, power point presentations, booking rooms, finding students, getting them to book the trainings, bank accounts...
But it's good to be back. In Portugal we have a saying that says something like "The good soon always returns home" so I'm back!
Now, thank you all so much for your help.
Until yesterday I've been eating soups with vegs, lentils, soy, sometimes I'd mix some grinded meat or fish.
Yesterday I made a fish pie and I managed to chew it without much effort.
The doc said this should last for 2 wks, yupiii...
So thanks Kye (Hi little duckie ) , Mummza, Ashen, hippytea, birdymum, goose and of course Grandma (ciao bella )

I finally got to Joann's yesterday to get the fusible Pellon for the totebags. At the register the girl rang everything up and took my 50% off cpn for the Pellon. She said, it says there is nothing to use the cpn on. I told her the Pellon was not on sale & I wanted to use it on that so she called someone. I looked at the little screen on my side and it read 50% off the Pellon. I told her it already did it. The other woman said no, Pellon is not fabric and you can't use that cpn. I said again, the register already did it. We were all confused but at least I got the 50% off. It was originally $8.29/yd. Then I went to Walmart. They had it for about $5/yd. So it was still cheaper with the cpn. Today I work on the bag.
Blessed are the quilters, for they are the piecemakers.
Since when is Pellon not fabric??? In that case fleece and felt aren't either.
She said it was interfacing not fabric. I was just glad I got the 50% discount.
Blessed are the quilters, for they are the piecemakers.
Made two totes from stash. One with upholstery fabric outside and "why did I get that" fabric (think it is 100% polyester) inside. The other is heavy denim with superheroes lining for DGS iPad. Also have two quilts from swap blocks that have sashing from my stash and fleece (also from stash) backing/batting. Binding will be from stash as well.
Here's one of my stash busting. all stash except binding and half of iron on interfacing.
Once I get myself back up and running 100% I bet I will have some more stash busting done. But, I did a no no, saw some fabric at $4 per yard, and bought 8 yards. It will help get rid of some blocks that are in my stash so i can get a top done and will use it for the back as well since it is enough. Whew, not a total wrong, will help bust some stash.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
Sounds like a good deal to me - a total of $32 and stash busing to make a quilt!

Heavy rain dropped from the heavens over night at the Prince course forcing the committee to begin round two this morning with carts on path. The shotgun tournament teed off at 730AM with the final pairing of Jared Sawada, Alika Bell and Jonathan Ota each two strokes apart.
Sawada posted a steady round today (37-39=76) to achieve the win over the rest of the field. With only two birdies (Hole 16 and 18), Jared attributes his win to keeping it consistent.
The Prince Course is rating amongst the top 100 courses in the United States and many of the players experienced first-hand this weekend why it received that rating. After 124 rounds the front nine average score was 43, while the back nine score average was 44 with a total score average of 87 between the four flights (PRO/CHAMP/A-Flt/B-Flt).
In the Professional flight there was a sudden death play-off between Andrew Feldmann and Sean Maekawa. After the first hole, Sean Meakawa would win to receive the first place check of $1,000.00.

Harvey Schools Chief Gets Jail Term for Fraud
A south suburban school president and her son were sentenced Wednesday to 180 days in jail for defrauding a college financial aid program.
Janet Thomas, president of Harvey District 152 and a Bloom Township High School teacher, also was ordered to pay a $7,000 fine and repay $10,525 she obtained for her son in fraudulent school grants. Her son, Derrick Fomby, must pay a $3,000 fine and help repay the grants.
Stephenson County Judge Charles Hartman ordered the mother and son to report to jail May 24. They were convicted March 10. Thomas was convicted of falsifying her income to help her son obtain grants to attend Highland Community College in Freeport from 1998 to 2001. She was earning $80,000 a year and receiving money from 10 rental properties.
Fomby admitted on the stand during his mother's trial he used some of the grant money to buy personal items such as gym shoes.
"It is very distressing that an educator stole from funds that are intended to help students whose families did not enjoy the same financial prosperity that she did," said Attorney General Lisa Madigan, whose office prosecuted the case.
Thomas also had worked for Harvey Mayor Eric Kellogg's administration, heading the city's Work Force Investment Act program for about $17,000 a year. Kellogg is an assistant superintendent in Harvey District 152.
Fomby got a job from Kellogg as superintendent of the city's Metra and Pace parking lots for about $33,000 a year. "We will need to terminate their employment," mayoral spokeswoman Sandra Alvarado said.

If you went far enough to make this a veggie sandwich, why not go a step further and remove the fat, cholesterol, and harm to the animals and the planet by using a vegan mayo and a vegan cheese. It doesn't take much to make good and delicious into excellent and mouth-watering. So if you want to help make the world a better place - use veganase and veggie cheese."

In the shadow of the Mid Canterbury foothills lies a modern-day Camelot, where something magical is happening - huge super cows are milked by robots, and a dedicated team of humans attends to their every need.
Camelot Robotic Dairy Farm is owned by the Beeston family's Blumoon Trust, and is a place where animal welfare and sustainable farming practices are kept at the forefront of decision making.
At 26, Frances Beeston manages the state-of-the-art robotic dairy farm, home to the Blumoon Holstein Fresian and Triann Brown Swiss studs. She says life doesn't get much better.
The daughter of Bryan and Annette Beeston, Frances grew up with elite dairy cows, and wasted little time thinking about where her future lay.
"I worked on the farm with Mum and Dad when I was a kid. I had pet calves and loved going out at night to check on cows at calving - I always loved the lifestyle," she says.
While Frances briefly considered a career as a vet or a farm consultant, she was aware such occupations were bound to clash with her values.
"My way of farming is not conventional - I need to try to help an animal, whatever it takes.
"I don't think I could cope with farmers deciding to put animals down rather than treat them.
"If I'm not satisfied with a diagnosis I'll get a second opinion, I'll try homoeopathic or any other alternative therapies.
"If something happens to one of the cows I consider it's my fault - and I don't think any life is worth more than another.
"If a cow is paralysed after delivering a really big calf, then that is my fault for mating them with a bull that was too big, or maybe over-feeding them, so I want to give them every option to survive."
An example of her commitment: when a Camelot cow was injured while adjusting to the newly-opened robotic system, it benefited from hydrotherapy at a neighbouring robotic farm - and a seed was sown. Soon, a second-hand cow-bath was established by the calf shed.
"They soak in warm water for a few of hours at a time. The water supports them and their circulation improves without having to be hung up by the hips.
"The water is emptied gradually and they slowly take their own weight."
During the spring, five cows - one from Camelot and four from nearby farms - were in hydrotherapy.
The move to robotic milking was also motivated by Frances' concern for the welfare of her herd, which contains some of the country's top milk producers.
She spent months working on robotic farms in New Zealand and in Australia, looking for design ideas, learning about routines and figuring out what would work best on Camelot, before construction began.
"I love the cows. The better you breed them and the better you feed them, the better they do.
"I'm always trying to improve the line - to breed better animals with better feet and better udders.
"Having spent money to breed better animals and fed and grown them to their potential, you want to make sure they milk to their potential.
"My cows are half as big again as normal cows, and they produce twice as much milk."
Robotic milking allows the animal to take pressure off the udder when it needs to, and as the robots milk each quarter separately, dropping off when dry, the risk of infections and harm caused by over-milking is minimalised.
Giving the cows the option of milking when they choose makes perfect sense. Recently calved cows, milking up to 60 litres, might use the robots four times in a 24 hour period, whereas those about to dry off cut themselves back to once-a-day milking.
Handing the decision over to the cows alleviates the need to run separate herds and reduces stress on the animal.
Adjusting to the robots took the herd about three months.
Accustomed to functioning as a herd, the cows had to learn to act independently and to push open the gates, activated by a microchip on their a collar, before moving into the robot.
"At the start, whenever one cow moved toward the shed, the rest followed - because they expected someone would be behind them driving them up," Frances said.
The unfamiliar sensation of the automatic teat scrubbers and robotic arms moving underneath to attach the cups also took time for some animals to adjust to.
"When we first started we had a lot more maintenance work because the cows were more likely to kick, but they've settled down now."
Frances says cows are clever animals, and food is the secret to ensuring their co-operation.
"Each time a cow comes to the shed, she is rewarded. She gets food in the robot, and goes out on to fresh pasture - it doesn't take long to work out that's a good choice."
The result, according to Frances, is that the cows are more content, quieter and friendlier.
"It's nice when the cows come up for a lick and a scratch - it shows they trust you."
On average, the Camelot cows calve every 18 months.
"Some milk for 600 days. We had one in milk for over 1000 days.
"When you demand a lot from them it can take longer for them to get back in calf. They need time to recover from birthing and settle back down - there's no rush to get them in calf, we don't chop their heads off if they don't get in calf straight away, it doesn't work like that here."
Robotic milking systems have been touted as less labour-intensive than conventional sheds, but this isn't the case on Camelot.
"I don't believe it requires less staff, but it does require higher-quality staff. Because the cows aren't coming in as a herd it's not as easy to spot one that's off colour, you don't see the lame cows at the back of the herd when you're not driving them in.
"I employ people who can read animals, who know when they are in pain or sore - they notice when something's wrong. The sooner you get on to an animal health problem, the quicker it's fixed.
"They don't injure themselves deliberately and, if they kick, it's because they are frightened - I have no tolerance for people who are cruel to animals."
A recently constructed feed pad will make winter easier this year, able to feed 140 cows at a time, clear of the mud.
"It will save the pasture and it's easier on the cows. The bigger the cow, the deeper it sinks into the mud."
The herd is 580 strong and will grow to 600 in the next year, but that is the limit the shed can cope with.

I often hear this when talking about discipline methods for children. The key word in this sentence is "okay." What is our definition of this term, and is "okay" really what we want for our children? We now have a greater understanding of the impact of spanking and yelling, and how it negatively affects a person throughout their adult life.

Oh, there it is! I enabled the feature yesterday but looked allover for it to appear on the board. Finally gave up.
Thought I'd try it and see how useful it is. It puts another load on the server so I suspect I'll be getting another notice about using up my allotment.

Just finished viewing a thread by BjornBee (9-26-07 04:16PM) about CCD.
The "Similar Threads" shows a "flow and weather question".
What is "similar" about these posts?
This is useful vbulletin feature.
Dave : let's give it time and you will see it is nice feature
There are parameters that affect the performance of this feature. I'll play around with it and see what happens. The search results are scored by relevance. A setting defines the minimum score a thread must have in a "similar threads" search to qualify as a similar thread.
The finer the setting, the greater the load on the server which means another upgrade probably.

Ford Hit with Class-Action Lawsuit Over C-MAX, Fusion Hybrid Fuel Economy Claims
Brandon Hill & Shane McGlaun

Ford C-MAX
Ford sued over hybrid vehicle efficiency claims
Ford is defending itself against a class-action lawsuit brought against it by McCuneWright, a law firm based in California, alleging false and misleading marketing campaigns for the 2013 C-MAX and Fusion hybrid vehicles. The law firm alleges fraud and negligent misrepresentation by Ford and filed the suit in US District Court Eastern District of California.
The lawsuit is seeking punitive damages including the reimbursement for the purchase price of new Ford hybrid vehicles. The main plaintiff in the suit is Richard Pitkin from Roseville, California. Pitkin purchased a C-Max Hybrid vehicle in October and alleges that he has only averaged 37 mpg during that time. That mileage is significantly lower than the EPA rating of 47 mpg.
"In its advertising and marketing campaign for the vehicles, Ford claimed that the C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid achieved a class leading 47 Miles Per Gallon," part of the 17-page suit read. "These materials helped Ford achieve record sales for the first two months of C-MAX Hybrid sales, outselling its rival, hybrid sales leader Toyota, but there was a problem. These ads were false."
The Ford C-MAX and Fusion Hybrid, like many vehicles, are essentially built to "ace the EPA test", so it can be very difficult for drivers to achieve the rated fuel economy numbers in the real world. For example, the highway portion of the EPA test stipulates that a vehicle should be able accelerate to a maximum highway cruising speed of 60 mph. Ford hybrids can operate at up to 62 mph on battery alone power if driven in the exact same manner as prescribed by the EPA. Once a driver crosses the 62 mph mark, however, the gasoline engine springs to life and the fuel economy drops.
Most major U.S. highways have speed limits of 65 mph or higher, and even if the speed limit is a more "hybrid friendly" 55 mph, most people likely cruise at 60 mph or higher. And one also has to remember that no hybrid can travel on battery power alone, indefinitely – the gasoline engine will eventually kick in to maintain cruising speed.
Ford Fusion Hybrid
Consumer Reports
reviewed the C-MAX earlier this month and found it obtained 37 mpg overall with 35 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. Similar findings with the Fusion Hybrid found that the vehicle achieve 39 mpg in testing overall.
Fuelly, a website that tracks fuel economy readings from everyday drivers, mirrors
Consumer Reports'
findings and shows that 51 drivers are
averaging just 39 mpg in the C-MAX
. The Prius v, the main competitor to the C-MAX, is
showing an average of 42.1 mpg
from 219 drivers versus an EPA combined rating of 42 mpg.
Ford isn't the only automaker to find its fuel efficiency claims disputed in court.
was caught inflating fuel efficiency estimates and was forced to create new window stickers for the vehicle fleet reflecting more realistic efficiency claims.

"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

Jury duty is far from over for the jurors who sat through more than a month of testimony to convict a former Hawaii-based soldier of murder in the death of his 5-year-old daughter.
This week, they began hearing more testimony on whether Naeem Williams is eligible for a death sentence. This process is unfamiliar in Hawaii, where capital punishment was abolished in 1957.
But the death penalty is still possible in federal cases, and Williams is being tried in federal court because the 2005 beating death of his daughter Talia occurred on military property.
Part of the prosecution's burden is to prove the crime was so heinous that a death sentence is warranted, said Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, D.C.
"This is a question about whether he's also guilty of a capital murder, of a death-eligible murder," he said.
The prosecution needs to prove there's at least one so-called aggravating factor that makes this murder especially heinous. In his opening statement for the penalty phase of the case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Darren Ching alluded to Talia's age and vulnerability in highlighting the terrible nature of her death.
The defense is presenting what it views as mitigating factors, arguing Williams shouldn't be sentenced to death because of his low IQ. Mental health experts have been testifying this week about his low level of intelligence, using test scores to make their case.
The jurors will then deliberate, weighing the aggravating and mitigating factors, Dieter said. If they reach a verdict unanimously agreeing he's eligible for the death penalty, they will then deliberate and render a verdict on his sentence.
If they don't agree he can be sentenced to death, the judge will sentence Williams to life in prison without possibility for release.
Death penalty cases are contentious, partly because jurors who have any moral opposition to the death penalty can't serve on such cases.
"There's a major difference in the way the jury gets constituted because of that," said University of Hawaii Professor Justin Levinson, who conducts research on criminal law and death-penalty cases. "You're stacking the jury for death, basically."
Research has shown that the jurors who are eligible to serve on death penalty cases "have higher levels of racial bias," he said. Williams is black.
There have been calls for bifurcated juries — separate panels to handle the separate phases of death-penalty cases — Levinson noted. But the associated costs and time are deterrents, he said.

The Boulder Faculty Assembly has been a fixture on the CU-Boulder campus for over two decades. Many of you are familiar with the BFA through the annual BFA Faculty Excellence Awards. With committees addressing issues as diverse as athletics, diversity, and campus budgeting, the BFA is actively working on topics affecting many areas of campus. However, as the new Chair of the BFA, the most frequent question I hear from faculty members is, "What does BFA actually accomplish?" To help answer this question, this column will be a monthly message updating the campus on what activities the BFA is currently undertaking. And this year, the BFA has a new look, new initiatives, and a renewed focus on building faculty engagement.
My philosophy on stepping into the BFA Chair position is that every person on the CU-Boulder campus is a critical component of the CU community. Our campus is facing both challenges and opportunities as we work together to address issues such as budgets, on-line education, enrollment management, and reductions in available grant money. However, these issues should be looked at by the community as opportunities for examining where our campus is moving over the next decade. This will require broad input and engagement. Building, promoting, and fostering engagement in the CU community as a whole is my underlying focus and philosophy as BFA Chair.
To promote engagement, the BFA has initiated a group of activities designed to both bring faculty together and address emerging campus opportunities. For the students, we have initiated the Faculty-Student Mentor program where 130 faculty from around campus are volunteering to mentor 1,000 first-year students. I believe as a faculty we should be able to grow this program over the next two years to cover every incoming first-year student. For mid-career faculty, we have initiated the BFA Leadership institute where the first group of 16 faculty are working with senior administrators to learn the issues around running the CU-Boulder campus. I look forward to receiving nominations for the 2014-2015 class in the Spring. For every faculty member, we have initiated the BFA Faculty Recognition Program where every week we will be recognizing in collaboration with the Provost's office faculty who are performing excellent service to the university. I encourage every faculty member to take 5 minutes and nominate one of your peers.
These are just a few of the initiatives that are now in place. I encourage you to visit the BFA Web page at http://www.colorado.edu/FacultyGovernance/index.html to learn about the full range of initiatives being put in place this year. The BFA is in a position to build engagement through innovative initiatives that both recognize faculty as well as serve as platforms for faculty to engage in the university community. I believe that BFA should be a forum where every faculty member can find an opportunity to participate. I will continue to introduce initiatives to provide faculty with these opportunities. My goal is to change the question I hear from "What does BFA actually accomplish," to "How can I get involved in a BFA initiative and become more engaged on the CU-Boulder campus?"
If you have an idea for a new initiative for BFA to explore – contact me at email@example.com. Every idea is worth considering – ideas build engagement.

Back when I was a teenager (all of 14), and thumbing through the pages of GQ for the first time, I gained a fast appreciation for the finer things in life – including great skincare. I came to understand from reading editorials, seeing advertisements, and going into sensory overload on the main floor of department stores, that there was a wide array of options when it came to skincare. Despite the overwhelming amount of options, one thing my 14 year old mind internalized was: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize. It didn't matter what brand I bought, as long as I followed three steps (and as long as I bought it from an expensive store), I was set.
In the years following, I experimented with countless brands and was occasionally wooed by the glossies (Vogue says Gwyneth Paltrow uses a lotion from a certain store on Spring Street – Must.Go.Buy!). But I would always come back to these simple three steps. Yet, no matter how much I was told I needed all three, it didn't seem to quite work for me. As I became more educated and stopped being an advertising zombie, I realized my skin didn't need to be toned; that a cleanser and a moisturizer was sufficient. Surely if I was coming to this realization, others must feel the same. I started paying attention to trends and certain brands seemed to begin taking a more minimalist approach to things. It was around this time that I first discovered Malin+Goetz, with their less is more approach to skincare. Since then I have more or less lived my skincare routine by this doctrine.
Having followed this belief for so long, you could imagine my shock upon reading a recent New York Times article which sited several brands coming out with not fewer steps, but more. Not 2 or 3 more steps, but up to 11! Eleven products that one has to go out and spend their hard earned money on, and then spend even more of their valuable time in front of the bathroom mirror applying. As I read on, it was clear that these extra products were not being introduced to us because they are a necessity; they are being created because the Asian market happens to favor a long, drawn out facial regimen and will spend money on all of these products. The funny thing is, representatives from certain brands were blatantly saying they will produce anything and everything that someone will spend money on.
As an employee of, and a loyal user of Malin+Goetz, I can proudly say that over the years, in light of the continued growth and evolution of the company the core philosophy of simplicity and honesty still very much holds true. Yes, new products have been introduced, but they fill a void or meet the needs and requests of our customers. We are never saying these few additional "problem+solution" products are essential to everyone and must be used as part of your daily regimen.
In these complicated and unsure economic times, the last thing that should cause stress or financial hardship is your skincare routine. Our core concept of balance doesn't just apply to a single great cleanser and a single moisturizer, but also to the balance between luxury and efficiency.

In the NA show he was more devious and manipulative, making Flogg his puppet whilst allowing him to believe he was still the Mutants leader. He actually had some successes against the Galactic Guardians, certainly in comparison to his Eternia exploits.
But back on topic, give us NA Skeletor ASAP.
A Disks of Doom/Battle Blade variant with swappable parts would be even better.
Can't WAIT for this cat to show up at my door!
