Do not think we have the luxury of taking a lber or te with our first round pick. DE DT CB OT. Highest rated guy from those four positions that is still available. OT may come off that list soon, the more I think about it

You won't find a OT in that selection bracket thats worth a pick, the DT position is stacked this year I think we can find a potential late first round talent in the 2nd if we were going that route. CB I agree with you. DE no we develop them very well. we can find someone in the 2nd - later rounds, plus we run a rotational DE system drafting another one that high just won't be fruitful, especailly when we have people waiting in the wing or on the field at other positions.

This is the time of the year when I like to build my own personal draft board at least the first one so I wanna post it on here and see what some of you guys think. Also i always pick 2 of each position and im an Florida State guy so i might think higher of some of those guys so here it is and tell me what you guys think.
E.J. Manuel- Florida State- 6'4" 240- SR- I know probably shouldn't start out with a FSU guy but I just had to I've been high on this guy ever since he took his first snap at FSU and he's done a pretty good job of running this multiple style offense that they like to run and he's not the flashiest guy I've ever seen but his athletic ability and the fact he can make all the throws could provide us with a good back up and a nice insurance clause just in case.
Sean Renfree- Duke- 6'4" 225- SR- Going back to the ACC for this one and I won't try to make it a trend but he would be a good 7th rounder for us since he won't get much attention coming out of football challenged Duke but he does have the tools and the frame of your typical NFL quarterback, which is a good start and he did learn under the same guy that showed Eli how to be a pro.
Montee Ball- Wisconsin- 5'11" 225- SR- Probably won't be the favorite pick here since we spent a first rounder on Wilson last year and the emergence of Brown and Bradshaw playing good again but he's projected late 2nd early 3rd which is right where i see our 2nd pick of the draft being and this guy is an old school grind it out running back with the great breakaway speed and a good receiver out of the backfield all around guy who would be a steal at late 2nd round.
Andre Ellington- Clemson- 5'9" 192- SR- Another ACC guy on my big board and he's here because of all of the Mathieu talk. This guy can burn them!! he's a speedster who would be a great return man and a good 3rd down guy where Gilbride could get creative with him. Not one of my top guys on my board and he would be almost a last resort 2nd round guy but his combine numbers could make him fall 3rd to 4th which would be a good value pick.
FB- only going to choose one player as I believe the Hynocerous is here to stay
Zach Boren- Ohio State- 6' 240- SR- This guy is a bowling ball and one hell of a lead blocker. Almost a Hynocerous duplicate would be good to add depth to a position that doesn't need one but then they could try some different goalline formations with these two as we don't have that full on power runner anymore. Good 6th to 7th round pick as not many fullbacks go high and could be a solid guy for years.
Denard Robinson- Michigan- 5'11" 197- SR- Don't even start with "He played quarterback" because his accuracy isn't good enough to make it to the pros and he may be a Randel-El kind of guy. He's super fast and could possibly bring the wildcat to the good kind of New York and nothing else if you give him a screen pass the whole defense will be on its toes wondering if he's passing or running good 4th or 5th round guy depending on how his combine goes.
Marcus Davis- Virginia Tech- 6'4" 232- SR- This guy mostly is on my radar because I love those big wideouts who you just throw it up there and they go get it. He has mid 4.4 speed in the 40 and is a late round pick at best but has been a decent producer for VT which isn't exactly known for its wideouts.
Tyler Eifert- Notre Dame- 6'5" 252- JR- I don't like to put juniors on my board just yet as they still have to decide but this guy is almost too good to pass up at a need for us and where we can get him in the 1st round. He's a great receiving tight end and has improved greatly as a blocker this past season and would be an instant safety net for Eli and a good red zone target giving him the type of tight end he's never really had.
Ryan Otten- San Jose State- 6'5" 245- SR- A raw talent who has the size and ability to become a solid if not great TE in the NFL. I don't know much about San Jose State so I'm unsure how to attribute the stats that he put up but he is in the mid 4.7s for his 40 time and can be molded into a good TE almost like an Adrien Robinson clone but a little bit slower.
Barrett Jones- Alabama- 6'5" 302- SR- This guy could come in and start with us from day one. He's a super intelligent player and is very durable as he's started all but 4 games since being redshirted and is technically sound and currently plays in a pro style offense. Love this guy he should be our number 1 pick if he's available.
Ricky Wagner- Wisconsin- 6'6" 318- SR- Following the tradition of good offensive lineman Wagner should be able to add some depth to a position that could almost always use some help. He is a little sloppy and his technique need work but he would be good to help us with some depth and coming from Wisconsin run blocking is his specialty and we could use some good run blockers. Its hard to judge where he'll go I've heard mid 1st to 4th round pick so he could be a 3rd or 4th round steal with his talent.
Barrett Jones- Alabama- 6'5" 302- SR- Didn't I already mention him? Oh yeah I forgot to mention that he was also a 2nd team all SEC OG his sophomore year! Versatility is key especially when it comes to injuries and you need someone to move around. This guy has it.
Omoregie Uzzi- Georgia Tech- 6'3" 302- SR- Don't ask me how to pronounce it because I've heard and tried it many different ways but this guy brings some good run blocking skills coming out of GT's option offense. Very physical guy up front and could push for a starting job out of training camp. Also 2nd or 3rd round guy so we can get both Jones and Uzzi and start building our OLine of the future while we keep our current one in tact.
Barrett Jones- Alabama- 6'5" 302- SR- Oh yeah this kid is currently playing center for Bama on its quest to repeat. Versatility to the max! He's been compared to Bruce Mathews (HOFer) so thats pretty good company. I love this kid. We need him.
Matt Stankiewitch- Penn State- 6'3" 302- SR- Sorry about another messed up name its honestly not my fault. This guy is a workhorse and the Big Ten has never been short of good interior defensive lineman so he's battle tested. Better run blocker than in pass protection but he always gets the job done and would be a great late round (7th or FA) guy to add some depth to our hurting OLine.
Alex Okafor- Texas- 6'5" 265- SR- This guy is the complete package at DE. He's the kind of pass rusher who can come in and get at least 10 sacks as a rookie. But he's no slouch when it comes to the running game either. Pure strength with great technique the kind of guy Reese likes and Big Blue fans love. Good 1st round pick.
Margus Hunt- Southern Methodist- 6'7" 280- SR- Athletic freak is normally one of the first things people describe him as. He's got the all around JPP like athleticism that could make him a star at the next level. Could be a great 4th or 5th round project since he's only played 3 years and this is his first season as an every down player but thats still low risk-high reward for his current round.
Johnathan Jenkins- Georgia- 6'3" 358- SR- This guy has your prototypical size to be a productive DT in the NFL. He was a a JUCO transfer and stepped in right away for Georgia and has played great for their D this past year. Could help shore up our issues against the run. I like him as a potential first rounder depending on need.
Daniel McCullers- Tennessee- 6'7" 380- JR- Once again I'm normally against Juniors on this draft board but DAMN! HE'S HUGE!!! But also he's not just a big guy to sit and take up space he's a good pass rusher with surprising nimbleness for a guy with his size. Only 1 year removed from JUCO could be a 3rd or 4th rounder for us and could help right away.
Arthur Brown- Kansas State- 6'1" 228- SR- Ok I know right off the start people are gonna say he's undersized, which they are right but he has great range and could help in pass coverage against the new kind of NFL tight end which is something we need help with. Probably too early to pick him in round 2 but 2 or 3 is where I see him going as of now.
Sio Moore- Connecticut- 6'1" 230- SR- Once again I choose another undersized guy but this is a guy I see who can help us stop RGIII. He's not quite strong enough to shed big blockers like lineman but he can shed TEs and FBs no problem and with closing speed he could be a spy on RGIII to stop him in the option. I see him as a value 5th rounder.
Bruce Taylor- Virginia Tech- 6'2" 244- SR- This guy could be a steal in the 6th round. He has great football instincts to know where and when the ball is going somewhere. Great leadership qualities to go along with his early round talent. Only thing holding him back is a foot problem that's plagued him but in the 6th round I think he'd be worth the risk.
Will Compton- Nebraska- 6'2" 230- SR- He's a smart middle linebacker that can make all of the pre snap adjustments on a defense. Almost like another Chase Blackburn. He has a high motor and is a very intelligent guy. Could be like 7th round or FA for us.
Xavier Rhodes- Florida State- 6'1" 217- JR- Here we have a classic complete corner. Has great size, willing hitter, good speed, can do both zone and man coverage well. He's definitely someone that the Giants should look into getting to boost our DBs as a first rounder.
Jordan Poyer- Oregon State- 5'11" 190- SR- This guy has ball hawking skills and will make any QB pay for testing him. Can shut down half of the field by himself. Very physical with receivers despite being a bit smaller.
Robert Lester- Alabama- 6'2" 212- SR- Not the most athletic guy to ever come out of Bama but he's a 3 year starter under Nick Saban who is a very smart player. Makes up for lack of natural talent with his high football IQ. Could help us out as a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
Drew Frey- Cincinnati- 6'3" 212- SR- Another guy like Lester but comes from a school where he doesn't get the press coverage. Smart safeties are always something a team could use and as a 7th round pick you can almost never go wrong with a guy like this.
D.J. Swearinger- South Carolina- 5'11" 210- SR- Great open field tackler who's known for being very physical. Has decent coverage skills about as much as you can expect from an average NFL safety. Mid round pick at best depending on his combine times.
Ray Polk- Colorado- 6' 205- SR- Has great athleticism and is a punishing hitter from the safety position. Would need to work on his coverage skills to be more than a special teams guy but with his athleticism he could easily make an impact on special teams. 7th rounder or FA for us would be a good place to get him.
Not doing kicker or punter as I'm pretty sure we're set… at least until Weatherford goes Matt Dodge on us or Tynes misses a kick
Tell me what you guys think. I will be updating this board as I fully finish mine and find out all of the underclassmen entering the draft
There are a lot of guys to like on FSU this year, most of them on defense. But this kid is not 1 of them. He needs a LOT of coaching and considering he is still making the same mistakes he made a couple years ago, I am not sure he responds well to coaching.
I am surprised being a FSU guy you dont have Pryor as your FB. That kid is a gem.
Other than those 2 things, I like a lot of the guys you mention. Tho I still need to see a couple of them measure in at the combine. A couple of them have some rumored measurable issues. For example I have read that Barrett Jones, who is a stud, may only be barely 6'4 and may have short arms. That might make him a guard only in the NFL. I also want to see Poyner's measurables because he is a player for sure, but it seems as the season as gone on he has gotten taller and taller according to OSU. I want ot know he is 5'10+ or else he will likely be a slot guy, and I think we have our slot guy of the future.

I really wanted to use Pryor but I thought that it would seem like I'm super biased. Also didn't think we could get him where I see him going or at least wouldn't draft him early enough to get him. Lots of guys out of that team that I liked that I wanted to put on here but couldn't. I wanna see the OLB/DE Jenkins from FSU at the combine and pro day before I say anything on him.
But back to Manuel.... I know he's made some dumb mistakes and he's made me wanna tear my hair out but I believe give him a clip board behind Manning (possibly even Carr so like practice squad him) and I think he could maybe develop into a good security blanket or maybe a trade chip depending how a pre season game or mid season injury replacement goes.

I like Tyler Eifert alot, and have no issue taking em, as he was my pick in the 2nd to last mock i did, and i've mocked em a couple other times as well in my weekly mock, i believe, so i'm ok with that.. I would rather go Baccari Rambo in the 2nd rd over Tharold Simon.. U can find CB's later in the draft, better then u can find playmaking Safteys that turn the game around ala Ed Reed.. Baccari Rambo is extremely underrated , and if he shows he has no off field issues, could end up pulling a Harrison Smith, and jumping into Late RD1 consideration.. I'll gurantee he makes a couple big plays in there bowl game, becuase hes a star, who shines in big moments...
I dissagree about Brennan WIlliams though.. I think he'll be fine coming back from a labrum tear as young as he is.. Ed Reed played right through his Laburm Tear all season long this yr and is doing fantastically might i add.. It a common injury in the NFL...Drew Brees, Matt Hasselbeck, Mark Brunell, Dwight Freeny, Shawne Merriman, Frank Gore had 2, and they all played fine after words and came back with no problems...
Orr Limpisvasti a Orthapedic Surgeon in LA said in a Article talking about the injury that most of the time u can play with it, and even a severe one, u should be able to be fine with the right surgical procedure..

A good stout young LB might not seem like a huge need on the surface, but once u scratch alittle deeper, and talking about next yr, u can see its alittle more of a issue, and also a real beast young LB has been lacking for some time anyways.. U may say "eh, blackburn, boley and kiwi are doing swell", but we need a true ALL PRO type back there.. Our defense gets shredded to often, and maybe one of the reasons is we don't have a top of the echelon LB .. I think it would make a world of a diffrence..
CJ Mosley, Khaseem Greene, and Arthur Brown are stellar players who are all over the field and would make us alot better against the run, and pass..

NPGA received an update today from Enterprise Products Partners regarding the status of TEPPCO pipeline repairs:
"Enterprise Products Partners has completed the process of purging the remaining liquids and vapors from its 8-inch Enterprise TE Products propane pipeline, which has been emptied of product and nitrogen between Watkins Glen and Selkirk. The company is currently working with the federal Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) on the details of the hydrostatic test, which will involve injecting water at high pressure to confirm the integrity of the pipeline.
Upon receiving PHMSA approval to proceed with the hydrostatic testing, completion of the hydrostatic testing, and any necessary remediation under the oversight and approval of federal regulators, Enterprise will begin the process of bringing each segment back into service.
Based on our best estimate, Enterprise forecasts that the Harford Mills terminal will return to service the week of November 8, 2010, followed by the Oneonta terminal the week of November 29, 2010 and the Selkirk terminal the week of December 20, 2010.
Please note that this forecast is an estimate and is subject to successful hydrostatic testing, compliance with the corrective action order and final federal approval."

What are the chances LSU keeps things close with a not so hot Kentucky team on Saturday.
86-87 Kentucky beat us twice in the regular season and once in the SEC Tournament. Nikita Wilson was out on grades, we were down players to chicken pox It got so bad Chris Carrier suited up. The season changed when we lost to Georgetown in a game we got hosed. On our last possession Dale told Jose Varges and Ollie Brown whatever you do do not shoot. Jose let a 17 foot rocket go and we lost. We played great the resu of the year. In the regional final Ricky Blanton out played Kenny Sky Walker and Winston Bennett. When it really counted we beat that crap team and went onto the final 4. We were a 11 seed and should have beaten Pervis Ellison and Louisville. I don't think and NCAA team went so far with so many set backs and role players. Thanks Derrick Taylor, John Williams, Ricky Blanton, Anthony Wilson, Ollie , Jose, Bernard Woodside, and my favorite the late Don Redden. And Yugos.
EDIT: There's also a good place to look up year-by-year results for UK basketball at LIN
Dale Brown holds the record for most wins and games coached against Kentucky with 18 wins and 51 games.

Sarah Dusseau wears many hats at the brand new Café One24. She's the executive chef, general manager and also a business partner with owner Renee Shecterle. That's all in addition to her other job, as a personal trainer.
And, I'd like to add "clean eating" cheerleader to that list.
Dusseau is enthusiastic about eating organic, non-processed foods. So much so that she and Shechterle opened Café One24 because their "clean-eating" prepared meals offered at the Fit Food Trainer studio had become wildly popular.
Café One24 is located on 124th Street, on the border between Tosa and Brookfield. They are in the building that houses Culver's and Chipotle Mexican Grill. Currently open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, Café One24 is a one-of-a kind dining experience that includes a wine bar central to the candlelit dining room.
"We focus on organic ingredients, completely unprocessed food - no processed flour, sugar or salt," Dusseau explains. "We don't use animal fats, heavy cream or butter. And we don't have a fryer in the restaurant."
If you're thinking that sounds like no fun at all, that's where you would be wrong: Although the meals are portion-controlled, they offer an abundance of flavor that would please anyone.
Café One24 has only been open a few weeks, but there are already several popular dishes, including sweet potato, wild mushroom or margharita flatbreads ($11-$12), chicken roulade ($14), blackened tilapia po'boy ($11) and the California or black 'n blue burger ($10.50-$11).
"I want people to not be gun-shy about trying a healthier restaurant. They don't even realize they're eating healthier food when they eat here," Dusseau explains. "We offer new twists on familiar tastes - healthier versions of favorite foods."
Café One24 uses ingredients from local "powerhouses" such as Empire Fish and Growing Power.
"It's very laborious and time-consuming to cook this way," Dusseau says. "We're not cutting corners, and we're making great food."

Exploit Development
I was looking around the forum, noticed alot of people have alot of security certifications. I was wondering, which course would one of you guys suggest that covers the topic of Exploit Development fairly well (Like to a point where you see a demonstration, cover it, and can go through the steps on your own time in exploiting applications)? The CPTS, CPTE, OSCP,CEH, etc? If the course covers it barely & you'd suggest a book, go ahead and name it, I'm listening! Thanks in advanced.

Sorry... somehow I double-posted.
Sorry... somehow I double-posted.
I watched the videos Tim Ives has posted on youtube. The hive he follows throught the three videos looks very strong. It was surprising to see how strong it was in March 2012. Although, the winter last year was non-existant. I wonder how that hive is doing this year?
I wonder what his mite levels are like?
He gives his bees a lot of space. I wonder if they truly need that with his management system or that is just how he does it? He mentioned adding foundation but nothing about cell size or type of foundation.
As I was watching the videos I had a feeling that there are some common themes with how Michael Palmer keeps his bees. Both have supers stacked higher than I want to work. Although, it would be nice to have colonies that strong.
Walt calls them wax makers not me. I would assume it is for the same reason he gives for distinguishing between a reproductive swarm and a crowding swarm. When describing a bowl of fruit it is fine to refer to any fruit as fruit. But when discussing apples and oranges you must describe apples and oranges. Young bees are a bowl of fruit. A bowl that contains many different fruits. Walt is attempting to describe the individual fruits in the bowl. So he refers in his writing to wax makers, house keepers, guard bees cell cleaners, honey processors. All tasks that woudl be performed by young bees.
In addition my interest in Wax Makers specifically are two fold.
1. Walt claims his methods will not work if you do not have drawn brood comb. The single main reason for this claim is that wax makers are not present in the hive. I have found this is not so in my hive and my bees are in fact drawing foundation. and am looking for any reasons why.
2. Walt describes a three week period from the swarm cut off date to the foraging for nectar. This lull as he calls it is due to the need to rear wax makers and house bees. IF this rearing of house bees wax makers honey processors etc could be stimulated pre swarm cut of. some this three week period might be reduced.

My apologies. I misjudged the intent of your comment.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
So how does one enhance these populations of young waxmaker bees? After the flow I see little to no comb building...
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
I find they will draw comb if.
1. it is checkerboarded, or what I call put within the boundary the bees consider home.
2. they have sugar water or other liquid food source. any nectar flow at all for example.
I found that placing sugar water on my hive last late summer early fall did get my bees to draw an additional box of med foundation. they filed it with honey and I used it as winter stores on two late trap outs I had.
I am seeign this lack of checkerboarding at work again right now. I placed med full of foundation on top of my hive. and the bees have moved into it but are not yet drawing the foundation. I could add drawn and filled frames from one of my other hives. or I can ad sugar water. or I can do both. Any one of the above I say would cause the bees to start drawing that foundation. I intend to wait a week and find they have done nothing. then do one or the other or both of the above and see what they do in the following week.
Today will be one week since I added this foundation.

You may find specific answers to questions which arise from reading Walts' texts and watching Tims' videos by corresponding directly w/ them since they do not wish to spend much time on beesource.com having their thoughts and ideas responded to by those who throw stones at them.
May you do well in your search for greater knowledge of the things in which you are interested.
Mark Berninghausen
I believe that if you reviewed Threads that Walt has Posted and Threads he has participated in he would characterize comments in that way. Though I can't really speak for him. Discussing this doesn't further the Thread, imo.
Mark Berninghausen
My theory on how I'm getting around mites is bees are brooding up way earlier in a 3 deep system vs 2 deep. 2 deep systems are on the verge of starvation by March on my area. A 3 deep will already have a brood cycle in, plus queens have 50% more room in a 3 deep vs 2. Drone brood doesn't start till around 3/11 when fresh pollen starts coming on. Mites need drone brood to be most prolific. Mites have to many immature females in worker brood. Plus I suspect, to cold for mites in late Feb. Once brood is capped very little of the cluster is on capped brood. Cluster will cover the open brood. Which I seen several years back when going to reverse hive bodies, because that's what all the oldtimers around me said you had to do. But once getting into bottom deep and it was 60% laid out with capped brood(which I thought was dead first time I seen it). I just put everything back together and kept watching closely. Few weeks later a crazy amount of bees. Rechecked bottom deep all laid out again with open brood.
The more hives I got the easier it was to see the average of what was going on. Anything below average got split, above average got supered.
Supering was a lot of trial/error.I'll go over that later.
Since there's a lot of questions,speculation and opinions on what I'm doing on here. According to advanced search of my name. Probably best if I read thru and just create a new thread..
Yes that would be interesting.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
In this video, Danny explains how they went from typical treatment management to non treatment. Its worth watching. The video of Binfords talk is good too. How the family business started is kinda funny.
If boxes are not stored where it will freeze, wax moths can be a significant problem even in cold areas.

The largest ice-free region in Antarctica is a barren but beautiful area known as the McMurdo Dry Valleys. When the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott first came across the valleys more than 100 years ago, he described them as lifeless: "... we have seen no living thing, not even a moss or a lichen; all that we did find... was the skeleton of a Weddell seal, and how that came there is beyond guessing. It is certainly a valley of the dead..."
Scientists have since found that Scott was wrong. The Dry Valleys are one of the driest deserts in the world—they average less than half an inch of precipitation a year. But they are not lifeless. In that dry habitat of sand and rocks, there are entire ecosystems of microscopic organisms that spring to life when water is added. For a few weeks each summer, the temperatures are warm enough—and the sun strong enough—to melt glacial ice, which can create streams. Colorful mats of bacteria grow along the streambeds and tiny organisms live in the damp soils surrounding the streams. But the streams dry out completely, so the organisms must be able to withstand freeze-drying, often for many years.
Survival of the Fittest
The organisms that survive—and thrive—in such harsh conditions can withstand freeze-drying. Most are microscopic, but a few are visible (barely) to the naked eye. The largest organisms in the Dry Valleys are the collembola, commonly known as springtails. (In the northern part of the Antarctic Peninsula, there is an insect called a midge that is larger.) But what about penguins? Like sea birds and seals, penguins aren't considered truly terrestrial, even though they spend time on the ice and land. Researchers joke that springtails are the "elephants" of the continent (30 springtails lined up would be about an inch long). Other common, but uncommonly tough, organisms include tiny worms called nematodes. There are also rotifers, mites, and tardigrades (also called water bears, which look like potatoes with eight bear-like claws).
Byron Adams of Brigham Young University and Eric Sokol of Virginia Tech are two researchers in the group of scientists who call themselves "The Wormherders." They study the relationships between the organisms and the soils they live in. Many teams of scientists study the Dry Valleys as part of a worldwide project called LTER, for Long Term Ecological Research. As Sokol explains it, "a common thread among all of us is our effort to understand how the biota [living organisms] and the environment are connected, and how they will change as the climate changes. Some scientists focus on nutrients in the soil or water, others study glaciers. Many study the biota that live in the soils, streams, and lakes, others study geology."
Preserved Pieces of the Past
But what about that mummified seal that Scott and his team of explorers found so many miles from the sea? Good question! It turns out that a lot of seals end up in the Dry Valleys, but not on purpose. It's clear the seals got lost, but not clear why. Once a seal ends up there, its body can be preserved by the dry cold for a thousand years, which is why there are so many seal mummies scattered around the valleys. Paul Koch of the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Brenda Hall of the University of Maine, are two researchers who have been studying the seal mummies to find clues about the conditions in which the seals once lived hundreds, or even thousands, of years ago. Their findings help scientists know what questions to ask about how animals lived, their diets, and how they responded to changing climate. According to John Nye, a researcher on the team, more than 300 seal mummies were found this season.
Koch and Hall have also found mummified elephant seals in areas where the animals are very rare today. They believe that a warmer climate thousands of years ago enabled animals such as the elephant seals to live along the Ross Sea coast. By studying the mummified remains of seals, researchers might be able to anticipate the effects of climate change on wildlife.

Obama Admits He Was Born In Kenya CWN Video
yep we all knew it-- why don't everybody else????
Last edited by j427x; 03-19-2013 at 11:31 AM.
damn--who says the media ain't covering for him--?-LOL!
i'll see if i can find another copy somewhere--
It's to bad there's not a damm thing that can be done about it!, Think about this for just one minute, If we were to lie to any federal agency, we could be arrested and prosecuted dependeing on the circumstances. The Democrats are the ones who nominated him for thier party, Even though you have to be born a united states citizan to be president. Now if this were to hit the mainstream media, what would happen seriously? Just my opinion, but as usual nothing would happen. Yes he commited an offence by lying about his birthplace etc. But he would need alot of help in covering up his natural place of birth, ( to which there are many that could help pull this off. But take into account everything that he has done since in office( which is make the country broke, inflated the national debt, bailed out banks and auto makers etc
and the laundry list goes on.In my humble opinion this is by far the worst President
to ever be elected to the Highest Office in tis Nation. Sure he may have graduated
from an Ivy legue collage( and I say may have no-one knows for sure records are doctored all the time in this country by many diffrent agencies and indivudals from all industries and companies and positions, from janitorial services to Law Enforcement Officals to politicans. We are never going to be able to stop these people., and many ask why? its because they have the two things that the most of us do not, Unlimited cash resources and Extream Power, to control those beneath them. All the News groups are biased to eathier one political party or another. If your able to find a news group that sides with the american people, and reports the misdeads and criminal behavior of those in power, they are automatically disregarded as crackpots, or consperency nuts.
I always said for once I would like to see this nation run smoothly and with honesty and Integrety, But as far as I can see that is never going to happen in my lifetimeand im 52 now. We all know that for the most part the election system in this country is rigged,
Seriously how can one deligate have several electorial votes , when a citizan is only allowed one vote to cast per reperesentive or its voter fruad, to which you can be jailed fined ,if not both.I have sen people show up to listen to one canadate speak, while wearing another canadates tee.shirt, only for them to be removed from the canadates public apperence. Now there is a First Amendment violation if I ever saw one. what was to say the indivudal was listening to both canadates to make up thier mind, to decide whom to vote for. Kerry lost to Bush plane and simple, and now hes back thanks to a Preisedent who shouldnt even be in office due to not being Born in the United States.
but yet here is is, and theres not one damm thing we can do about it. Political power and corruption go hand in hand, like bread and butter. If anything can be done, to weed out the nut job politicans like bloomburg and a cast of many. they spend more time tring to take things away, then to do what is right for the american people, the only thing that they are cioncerned about is the power struggle adn how much money can I make.
How is this for starters a bill should be introduced by the american people to cap politicans saleries, The money you raise for running for office, and if you are not elected the money sjhould be returned to the american people who donated it to them in the first place. not to use as they please. Jessie Jackson just went down for doing just that, who many more are doing it that has not yet been caught. The longer they stay in office the more money they raise, the more they get to stash away. This whole mess was brought to you by the political system, that only cares about itself, and in plain english could care less about the people that placed them into office. the only thig a cana date will remember is how much money that you contributed to thier campange, and nothing more. Remember the bank scandle of the 80's I believe when congress wrote so many bad checks,,It would be interesting how many never paid back those bounced checks ,if it were you or I we would be in the crowbar hotel for passing bad checks, but the goverment can get away with it. It wont be long now before I start getting phone calls to support this one and that one for public office, and in reallity I just have a few words for them that do not include Merry Christmas or Happy New Year.
As far as Im concerned I havnt seen a politican do anything for the american people
that will benfit them. The politicans take more time off than actually work.. In the real america the way thigns work you keep showing up late or not at all will get your ass fired! and that is what should be done with these people that think that they can get over on the people of this nation. what was it 2000 illegal immigrants were release from custody, only to go back on the street to commit more crimes.its just plane nuts, and the majority of the retoritic the democrats are spewing is utter bullshit. The main question is can obama be removed from office for lying, I hate to say it but our goverment is so out of touch, obamas situation is liable to be labled a matter of nationl
security and which nothing can be done about it. So he get s to play President, Im wondering if hes comeup with a scheme to get a third term yet! Doc
here is another one--
i got to put up multiple links cause somebody is going around knocking the links out--LOL!
i wonder who dat be?--
ahhhh prrety sure he said that as a joke . not saying he is born here but I saw the whole speech when he said it. he is mocking the birthers.
yea but even a liar got to say the truth one time--LOL!
and these videos were made before he was running for president --there is no law that says you have to be natural bore to be in the senate or the congress.
many described obama including himself-- before the presidential bid as a "naturalized citizen" --if he was born in hawaii as he claims he would have no need to be a naturalized citizen now would he--
He was joking huh?
His wife was not joking.
i bet if you can even find yoammas REAL birth cert i bet is says something like this--
mother suspected prostitute while illegal alien , father UNKNOWN, birthplace KENYA!
the Obummer before the presidential election was , straight, black, christain and american born and an american citizen.
the Obummer of today is gay, illegal alien, muzlim and a citizen of the world-- and that is coming from HIM!
WTF do we have in the white house anyway? he can't even pass a simple background check himself but he wants to put every body else through the wringer of background checks for everything---
the man ain't even qualified to plunger stopped up shitters-- much be president of the US-- we need to DEMAND BACKGROUND CHECKS for ALL politicians !
and if the MFers faked up anything it is a felony 25 years hard labor!

Merrifield man is business owner, musician, member of Lions Club
Ron Scrimshaw, 68, is a local business owner, longtime resident of the Brainerd lakes area, musician and active member of the Merrifield Lions Club.
Ron and his wife, Karen, have owned Karen's Antiques and Things in Merrifield for 22 years. Together, they have raised their family in this area. Ron and Karen have four children and three grandchildren. Also, as of September, they will have been married for 45 years.
"Family is really important," Ron said.
The Brainerd area has always been Ron's home. He was born and raised in Brainerd and graduated from Brainerd High School. He then attended Brainerd Community College for a year before joining the Army, where he served in Vietnam from 1966-67.
After returning to the area, Ron received his Associate of Arts degree and then studied layout and design at Staples Technical College. He worked at various places in St. Cloud and Brainerd, including a 10-year stint at the Brainerd Dispatch.
During this time, Ron also pursued his passion for music that had originated in his high school days. Ron was the drummer, or "the noisemaker," as he jokingly added, for several area bands.
"My most favorite thing in the world is music," Ron said.
He was part of the Shaceltons from 1968-78 and was in Wild Rice, Mountain Fire and, most recently, Limited Engagement.
In addition to his longtime musical pursuits, Ron has been involved in the area business community for many years. Ron and Karen originally had a small antique shop in Brainerd. When they built a house near Merrifield about 30 years ago, they moved the contents of their shop into their new garage.
"I just put up a big sign that said, 'Antiques — 1 mile' and that's how this whole thing developed," Ron said.
They searched for property and eventually bought the storefront on County Road 3, which was formerly a gas station. The business currently has two buildings with 200 square feet on County Road 3 and 200 square feet on Crystal Lake.
"It might be small, but we have a lot of stuff in here," Ron said, explaining that their business stretches beyond just antiques.
"We have everything from the turn of the century to today, and that's why we call it Karen's Antiques and Things, because then we could put things in as well," he said.
Along with running Karen's Antiques and Things, Ron works part time driving school bus for the Brainerd School District and is the president of the Merrifield Lions Club.
"The Lions give so much to our community, and that's always been a really important part of my life," Ron said.
He has been a member of the Merrifield Lions Club for 28 years and president of the club for two years. Ron was a member of the original charter for that group.
The Merrifield Lions Club has 32 members, and Ron is encouraged when younger faces join this community-focused organization.
Ron is also enthusiastic about the business community in Merrifield.
"There are a lot of nice, nice people," he said.
As a part of the Merrifield community, Ron is involved in an effort to put a pedestrian crosswalk across County Road 3 by the Merrifield Lions Park. He explained that the purpose of the crosswalk is to slow down traffic and keep pedestrians and bicyclists safe when they cross the road.
Ron is concerned about safety, but that doesn't mean he wants to eliminate the traffic that drives through Merrifield.
"We want traffic to be here, but we'd like to have them stop, too," he said.
Ron appreciates when people driving through Merrifield stop at the antique shop. He said customers frequently come in to Karen's Antiques and Things and tell him they have been driving by for 20 years and finally decided to stop by.


text: Fires are starting to crop up all around due to the severe drought. Instead of lighting up the smoker, I used a mister full of sugar water to do a quick inspection of a small hive. I have also used plain water for a quickie. Are there any other tips for inspecting bigger hives using alternatives to smoke (rather than nothing at all)? Does water work effectively when it's a large hive? Or an aggressive hive?

Derksen passes on, is mourned by city officials
Ron Derksen, former Pine River City Council member, passed away at his home July 29 from terminal cancer. His former fellow council members remember him as someone who stood for what he believed in.
"He was always pretty feisty. He always had his own opinion, which I appreciated very much," said Pine River Mayor Jim Sabas. "He was definitely not a yes person on the council. He fought for what he believed in. He always had a good laugh from time to time. He just seemed to be an all-around honest guy. He was truthful in what he did. He never said anything he didn't mean."
"Ronnie Derksen was a person who told it like it was. He wasn't afraid to say what he thought and if you didn't agree, well, you were entitled to your own opinion. His work ethic was strong and he wasn't one to accept charity or help. He was one of a kind and I was honored to consider him a friend," said Pine River City Clerk Wanda Mongan.
Derksen was a member of the council from 2006 to March 31, 2013. He was originally elected to fill a vacancy left by outgoing council member Rob Jesse, and was re-elected alongside Tamara Hansen in 2008. He resigned from his position following a diagnosis of terminal cancer to spend time with his family.
During his time with the council he served as a liaison to the sewer district board, and then served on the airport commission until his resignation from the council.
"He was a good person to have on there, because he told the commission what the city required of them and what the city was going to do with the airport from time to time. And he wasn't just a yes person for them, either. He always brought back news that he stood up for what he knew was right," Sabas said. "He helped the city a lot in that respect."

An exciting line-up of talented Kiwis will try to tame some of the most rugged terrain in the Southern Hemisphere in the first round of the 2013 New Zealand Motorcycle Cross-country Championships this weekend. Racing will take place on rugged hill-country farmland near Te Anau on Sunday.
Four rounds of intense action are on the calendar for the KTM-sponsored series, with the first round sure to challenge even the most ambitious and skilled of the country's elite dirt-bike riders.
"The Te Anau community has come to the party and it's great to be able to run an event down there. It's not just a North Island championships afterall, it's a national event," said Motorcycling New Zealand cross-country commissioner Chris Smyth, of Dannevirke.
Round two in Taranaki on March 16 will also break in previously untried terrain.
Palmerston North's Adam Reeves will be keen to win back the title he held for three seasons between 2009 and 2011, although he'll have to find a way past reigning champion Adrian Smith, of Mokau.
Te Awamutu's Mark Penny, Tauranga's Reece Burgess, Pukekohe's Matthew Vining, brothers Lance and John O'Dea, and New Plymouth's Renny Johnston will threaten for the senior title. Wellington's Hugh Lintott, Hamilton's Sam Brown, Onewhero's Jim Orton, Stratford's Karl Roberts, Dannevirke's Stacey Smyth and Raglan's Jason Dickey could also feature among the leaders.
One to watch will be Raglan youngster Matthew Quirke, the KTM rider having stepped up from the junior ranks this season. He has given impressive performances in several lead-up events.
Another rider from Raglan, Jason Dickey (Kawasaki), is also a title candidate, with other fast-rising youngsters Ethan Bruce (Yamaha), of Maruia, Pukekawa's Anthony Parker (KTM) and Pahiatua's Daniel Christie (Yamaha). Mokau's Aaron Jones (Yamaha) is another young rider who is stepping up the ranks and could also spring a surprise.
After this weekend's event and the round in Taranaki, the series heads back down to the South Island, to Christchurch on April 21, and wraps up in Hawkes Bay on May 18.
The venue for this weekend is signposted from Lagoon Creek Rd off the Te Anau-Mossburn Highway (SH 94).
Event schedule
Round 1 February 17, Southland
Round 2 March 16, Taranaki
Round 3 April 21, Christchurch
Round 4 May 18, Hawkes Bay

I Hate Jade Empire

No, what really kills it is how terribly boring it is. It's dreadful, really; duller than an inflatable knife - and it's not just simply tedious either. Jade Empire's banality can be divided into two separate levels of boredom.
Firstly, there's the plot itself, which is so predictable it'd be enough to make anyone think they'd become clairvoyant. You play an orphan who has been raised by the teacher of an awesome Kung Fu school that sits unmolested in the rural outskirts of the standard Wuxia setting. Apparently you've never questioned about your parentage until the day that Master Li ominously lets you know you have an important destiny.
Oh, sorry, not ominously, obviously.

Was the break a good idea?
I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost 2.5 years. During that time we've had a month break shortly after our one-year anniversary, and a year later we broke up for four months. We've been back together for a little over five months now.
I love him dearly. I have given a great deal of time to this relationship, as he is still in school and lives a few hours away. Up until last month, things were going great. We had fun together and laughed. But, there has always been a feeling of doubt in my mind following our last break up. I found out that he was flirting with other girls and I didn't approve of it so he stopped.
Recently I've felt like he doesn't want to spend time with just me. He also lied to me about hanging out with another girl, and that really crushed me. I brought this up to him and it seems like it has pushed him further away from me. He has seemed totally disinterested in spending time with just me and in having a relationship. After I talked to him more, he said he doesn't know what he wants anymore. I want to move forward and continue to have a happy and loving relationship together. But I don't know how to make him happy. I know we've both been unhappy and unsure about where the relationship has been going. I have a sinking feeling that he is starting to develop feelings for this other girl.
I talked to him yesterday about trying something -- taking a break. I want to be able to laugh and smile with him again, and I do want to have a future together. Upon suggesting a break, I said I wouldn't contact him at all for a month. I said I would see him on his birthday in a month and then we can move forward from there. He seemed like he was OK with this and it seemed like in a month, he and I could move forward as a couple because that's what he wanted too. But I could be wrong.
I wouldn't say that it is a huge weight off my shoulders to take a break, but I think we both needed it. I continue to worry about this other girl and that he won't want a relationship with me again, given how rocky things have gotten recently.
I'm not sure if this was the right move, or what's in store. Any insight or help would be appreciated.
– Setting Love Free, St. Cloud
The break wasn't a terrible idea, but please understand that it will probably lead to a breakup. And that's OK.
I'm not sure how a month-long break is supposed to fix all of your problems. If anything, it'll just remind you that you can live without him. It'll give you a taste of freedom.
My guess is that in a month, you'll end things for good and feel more confident about the decision. You're both unhappy, and you're getting to the point where you don't trust him. You say that he doesn't want to spend time with you. That's no good. And keep in mind -- this is your third time-out.
Take this time to remind yourself that you can go it alone. Spend the month considering what life would be life as a single person and whether your routine is more pleasant when you don't have to worry about trying so hard to make someone happy.
I know you want to reunite and have a shiny new relationship all over again, but I don't see how that's possible. This month off is basically a set of training wheels that will get you to a real breakup. And with all of these issues, isn't that what you need?
Readers? What happens after a month? Is this a training wheels breakup? Should she be worried about this other woman? Should they stay together? What is he doing with his break time? What if he wants to stay together? Discuss.
– Meredith

I did a 24 hour IPM board inspection for Varroa mites. Took it off late yesterday afternoon.
Question # 1- How hard is it to identify the mites? I see lots of wax particles and pollen but there's something I can't identify with a magnifing glass. I took pictues of this, put it on the computer and zoomed it and it looks like it might be VM's from the pictures I've seen on the internet but I'm still not sure. I have to do a lot of zooming to even see what I do see. I thought the mites would be a little easier to see than this. Am I wrong about this? I've taken pictures of the bees on the frames while out of the hive, put them on the computer and zoomed them and saw no mites on any of the bees.
Question # 2- The temp was in the high 80's yesterday. When I took the IPM boards (2 hives) off just before dark the porch was covered with bees. Was this because of the heat created by the IPM board being there and causing a heat build up?
Question # 3- It finally rained last night and today for the first time in awhile. This morning when I went to check on the ladies there was 2 or 3 pupa and 2 or 3 larvae as well as maybe a dozen dead bees on each porch. All the larvae was drones. Did I see this because of the rain or do you think there's another problem?
Being a bee dummie sure is frustrating! In my humble (ignorant) opinion both hives seem to be thriving considering they were both started from Nucs the first of July. I appreciate the help of you more experienced beekeepers here cause I need all the help I can get!

A 4-year-old boy became "entangled" in a ferris wheel at the A&P Show at Murchison near Westport yesterday.
The boy needed to be airlifted to hospital after the accident on the show ride about 3pm.
The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter said the boy suffered "moderate arm injuries".
He was assessed by the onboard intensive care paramedic before being flown with his family to Nelson Hospital for further treatment.
Meanwhile, the rescue helicopter also retrieved a 21-year-old man who had been pinned against a tree by a bulldozer yesterday.
The man was trapped at Takaka about 4pm.
He was treated by an intensive care paramedic during the flight to Nelson Hospital.

Oh Medal of Honor: Warfighter, what am I going to do with you? I had such high hopes of the time we would spend together. Ever since I laid my hands upon you at E3 this year, I've been fluttering my eyelashes at you from afar.
But now that I've spent time alone with you, caressed you, tried to tease open your secrets, I just, I just don't feel happy. I feel... I feel dirty. And unsatisfied.
Developer Danger Close's second installment in the Medal of Honor reboot was supposed to be a step up from the first. It was supposed to bring gamers back to the realistic world of war, where the action was intense, and the fighting was fast.
It does none of those things. In fact, it does precisely the opposite. This game is a step backward. It is a mistaken blot of a title. It is so fist-clenchingly frustrating that it makes me angry. But my anger has quickly slunk into sadness, making me ponder whether I should give up on the entire franchise.
That's a big call. Medal of Honor and I go way back. We grew up together. But if this is the best Danger Close have to offer, well, maybe its time to end the affair.
Warfighter's biggest and most immediate problem is its complete lack of depth and narrative. You play in the shoes of a jarhead called "Preacher". He might be from the first game, but I'm not sure. I really can't remember. In any event the title makes no attempt to link the game to the background and history of its forebear. Preacher is chaperoned around various hotspots by "Mother", the ubiquitous bearded special forces soldier with a cricket umpires cap and a Captain Price beard. As far as I could tell, that's it. There is literally nothing new to see here.
Both Preacher and Mother appear to be dude-bros so tight, they think nothing of shacking up together in hot and heavy hotspots around the world - from Somalia to the Philippines. These environments look nice, and you can blow them to smithereens with lots of high-tech, and ultimately familiar weaponry. But you'd hardly know why - and that a good game does not make.
Throughout the confusion, Preacher and Mother have got each other's back. Sure, theres lots of hoo-ah, roger-niner, check your six, and eyes on me, but as to what they are doing in all these places, and why you the player should care, I couldn't tell you. Because the game never tells me.
Maybe it's something to do with Islamic insurgents, train bombs, international terrorism, and tired racist stereotypes about Middle-Eastern otherness. Or I could be confusing its narrative set up with a thousand other military shooters pumped on the juiced-up high of American exceptionalism. Or, maybe there's no need for conjecture. Because it's both of those things.
Sure, there are quieter moments. Moments where Danger Close has tried to show its soft side. But the cut scenes where Preacher wrestles with both his conscience and his loved ones only come across as forced and contrived. And they are as poorly animated as they are acted. Part of that's down to empty writing. In an early scene Preacher's wife intones "why won't you let me in" before Preacher hangs the phone up on her. Let her in to what? His cliched war-ravaged psyche? His battles with post-traumatic stress disorder? The mind boggles. By keeping us out of that stultifying experience Preacher is probably doing us a favour.
We've all played games where the story, or lack thereof, gets a free pass. Pac-Man has no narrative, but I still race to it in retro arcades. Sometimes the story is just the fluff round the edges. For some titles, shooters especially, what really matters is the gameplay.
But here, too, the ugly visage of rushed production values and poor game design raises its oft seen head. As a game, Medal of Honor just doesn't play well. Weapons appear to do both too little and too much damage, and the inconsistent emphasis on "military realism" results in a game where you can run full speed through waist high water - but where a bullet won't go through a plywood plank.
But even moments of promise, such as unlockable door-breach maneuvers, are overshadowed by problems. Fiddly controls (to lean, you need to perform finger-yoga by stabbing the shift, alt and D or A keys simultaneously) take you out of the experience. As do bizarre combat animations, such as when Mother takes the trigger of an M19 Grenade Launcher and begins firing it in the opposite direction to which he is aiming. But nothing beats being literally being taken out of the game because you're forced to kill the executable when the title has frozen.
The frustrating game mechanics are not helped by poor level design. The maps are linear and formulaic. You are directed down avenues and paths, through hordes of spawning enemies, whose charges are triggered by your actions. It's a turkey shoot. It's a chore. Warfighter's environments are also shamefully unrealistic. I should know, I've stood in Iran a stones throw from the valleys of Afghanistan. I've flown over Iraq. I've trained from Bulgaria to Serbia and back again. The places Medal of Honor takes you bear absolutely no resemblance. To be fair, it's a game, not a travel blog, but even the barest of research would have paid dividends.
None of this is helped by in-game guidance that is contradictory and confusing. As one level begins, we see Preacher quickly scoping his sniper rifle onto the head of a Somalian pirate. As the game zooms into his field of view, the hud tells you that taking the pirate out is your primary objective. But if you do, the game fails. Instead, Preacher must inexplicably wait (for 18 hours of game time no less) before he's ready to pull the trigger. Why? I don't know. I honestly have no idea. But I do know that it's a symptom of a game that hasn't been quality controlled.
Perhaps I'm missing the point to Warfighter. I'm reviewing this game as a realistic real world first person shooter, inspired by real events - as it boasts before each level.
But thats not right. I've got it wrong.
Its none of these things, its a Dali-esque fantasy, a surreal dreamscape where reality has been broken to mess with your mind. Danger Close have peered behind the veil and crafted a sensory overload of the horrors of war. Just kidding. That would have been cool, and a title worth playing.
Instead Medal of Honor is a formulaic experience that feels rushed, ill-thought out and hollow. Its gameplay is rote and its mechanic is derivative. To be frank, I'm tired of this. Shooter fans are not simply teenage consumers of asinine adventure. We deserve better.
Warfighter isn't a break from reality. It's just a broken game, and a massive disappointment.

The boat job's been going well and I really enjoy it, although it's tricky doing my job when the sea is rough! The crew are great, we go out to some nice sites, but it's a long day and hard work
So, during the past month I went on a fishing trip up the local Estuary with my housemates and my mate Emma. We hired a little pontoon and fishing gear, took some snacks and headed off into snadfly and crocodile infested waters to see what we could catch. I caught a mudcrab and Alan decided to try and get it off the line which was a huge mistake as they are viscious little creatures! First it fell onto my leg and scratched me then clawed and cut Alan's fingers - he was lucky he didn't lose them completely! Needless to say we admitted defeat and threw him back in the river. Additionally I decided to have a go at driving the boat and unfortunately we were hit by a wave from another boat which caused water to come in and the front of the pontoon started tipping rapidly.....into crocodile infested waters......in a flash everyone got to the back of the boat and we stopped the engine and managed to reclaim the situation and all members on board survived.
Spent a lot of time in local bars for happy hour - one bar has a daily feeding of a local Groper fish (George) but he was somewhat shy on the day we went. Also caught up with some friends I met elsewhere - Emma, Claire and Jo. They are now working here for a while so that's good for my social life (but not good for my bank balance!). Tom Hanks was in also town too for a few days and my housemate was exctatic that she got to serve him breakfast at the cafe she works at.
Managed to go out on the boat as a guest with Alan and went scuba diving which was cool
My housemate took myself and Alan up to Cape Tribulation for the day which was nice. We did lots of touristy things on the way including breakfast at High Falls Farm (tropical fruit farm), went to look at an outdoor theatre (Karnak playhouse), watched some buff guys making vases and things from moulten glass, went to a cool insect museum, had homemade ice-cream (Daintree ice-cream company), had crappy coffee (Dragonfly Cafe), checked out Cape Tribulation beach and were lucky to spot the rare and dangerous Cassowary bird just at the edge of the bush - amazing!
Alan left town early this morning to meet a friend and travel the West Coast so last night we had a huge send-off for him involving copious amounts of alcohol and silly dancing. Not sure how much we drank but I'm pretty tired today - still don't really get hangovers guys!
As for all the cool pics of where I live you'll have to check out my facebook albums at the mo as this site takes too long and I want to get out of this internet cafe soon as it eats my hard earned cash!

Mount a second spray nozzle inside pointed directly at the wax cake and your wax will come out like saw dust. Put the wax in a container with tiny holes in the bottom to drain off any excess liquid. I don't have to pull the drum all season since bought a new one. Invest in a drum puller. Save you from a broken arm.

THE Ross Valley Sanitary District has just filed a lawsuit to collect almost $350,000 from its former general manager Brett Richards.
It's likely an exercise in futility. Richards is a fugitive, with a seven-count felony indictment and a $7 million bail on his head. He has no known assets.
The district may recoup $149,000 of the unsecured "housing" loan to Richards from an insurance policy.
Unless it quickly acts to file a legal malpractice suit against the agency's former lawyer Sanford Skaggs, it can kiss the remaining $200,000 of ratepayer money goodbye.
Skaggs spotted that Richards' loan papers had no provision for any security. Nor was there any requirement that in collection actions the loser pay attorney fees.
Skaggs wrote a memo to that effect to district directors, but he sent it to Richards not to his actual client, the district's directors.
Arguably, that's legal malpractice.
That's like notifying the fox that he's about the enter the henhouse. Needless to say, Richards never forwarded Skaggs' memo to the board.
The sewage district's current attorney, Jolie Houston, disclosed the statute of limitations on Skaggs' oversight will run out at the end of June. The board will decide within weeks whether to proceed against Skaggs and his professional liability insurance carrier.
My hunch is that it will do nothing.
For a big-firm attorney like Houston, collecting $200,000 might cost more than could potentially be recovered.
Instead, the board should consider hiring a local attorney to collect the cash for a one-third contingency fee.
There likely are dozens of Marin lawyers who'd be delighted to take the case on a contingency. The district has literally nothing to lose unless, of course, there were some potentially embarrassing facts that litigation could bring to light.
FILING FOR ELECTION for city and town council seats in Novato, San Rafael, Tiburon, Fairfax, San Anselmo, Mill Valley, Corte Madera and Larkspur opens on Monday, July 15 and closes Aug. 9. A slew of school board, sanitary and fire district posts will also be on the November ballot.
If candidates are considering running, now is the time to start organizing their friends and neighbors.
Waiting until the last minute to decide about mounting a campaign is rarely a winning idea.
The Novato rumor mill indicates there are no candidates for City Council, except the incumbents Pat Eklund and Denise Athas. Both are expected to run.
It may be that next year's battle royale for the Novato-centered seat on Marin's Board of Supervisors between incumbent Judy Arnold and challenger Toni Shroyer is overshadowing this November's council race.
IN 2012's "top two" primary election, 49.81 percent of Marin registered voters participated. That's far less than the 90 percent of registered Marinites who cast ballots in presidential elections though more than the 40 percent that show up in odd-year municipal and school elections.
In an effort to find ways to encourage voter participation, Marin's Registrar of Voters Elaine Ginnold surveyed why 50 percent of registered voters didn't vote.
The top five excuses: 54 percent replied, "voting was inconvenient to my schedule;" 42 percent were "not interested" in the election; 37.1 percent just forgot; 37 percent didn't know enough about what's on the ballot; and 18 percent said, "my vote doesn't matter."
Some respondents gave multiple reasons
It's odd that the largest number complained about inconvenience. California, with permanent month-long mail voting, has the most liberal and easy to participate electoral systems in the nation.
TOM MONTGOMERY, vice chair of the Marin County GOP, says that "Marin's version of someone 'coming out' is when they divulge that they are a Republican."

text: I see a ton of questions about painting interior and exterior plastic pieces on multiple forums, so I figured I'd give my .02. I don't claim to be an expert on the subject but I have done many pieces without air tools, without a shop, and using rattle cans and autozone bought products. The point of this is that you can make a show quality job on a budget if you take your time and relax. 1. First step is to carefully remove the piece you are working on and wipe any dirt or dust off. 2. Next clean off your piece with a wax remover, or acetone 3. RINSE WITH WATER!!!! Your paint will bubble and flake if there is residue. 4. Scuff up with steel wool or 500 grit sand paper. You can also in this step smooth out your part by working medium grit to fine sandpaper for an ultra smooth paint job, I start with 120 and work to 1500 grit. 5. RINSE WITH WATER AGAIN!!!! Make sure you remove all dust from part and work area. 6. SPAY 2 LIGHT COATS OF ADHESION PROMOTER THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR PAINTING PLASTIC. 7. Time to prime I use Duplicolor High build gray primer usually 2 coats of primer, follow all directions on the can, and remember light even coats. 8. Light sanding on the part will 1000 grit sandpaper just to scuff it up. 9. RINSE WITH WATER AGAIN!!!! The dust thing again. 10. I use once again duplicolor car and suv paint you can buy a spray can to match almost any OEM color, once again listen to the can, I like around 4 or five coats personnaly you get the true color that you want from the spray paint. 11. Let it cure for at least a day be patient. Trust me its worth the wait. 12. Finally scuff it up again with 1500 or 2000 grit sand paper and wash off the dust. 13. Use duplicolor crystal clear clear coat spray paint, I prefer 4 to 8 coats of clear depending on where the piece is located the more it is contacted by dirt or feet the more coats, wait 10 to 12 minutes between coats of clear wait 24 hours before handling.

Carolina Herrera Spring 2012
Carolina Herrera looked to the graphic modernism of the Bauhaus movement as the starting point for a collection that translated those characteristic linear motifs into something altogether more feminine.
Tiers and panels of diaphanous fabrics including chiffon and organza were layered to flutter on the breeze, or set as godets into swing skirts; flocks of budgerigars swooped across the little crepe dresses in a delightful print design, and even the boxy purses were crafted from leather so soft they promised to collapse and fold into the glove compartment of a Hispano-Suiza.
Herrera took her palette from the antique Bakelite bangles that accessorized many of the looks à la Nancy Cunard; jade greens, canary yellows, lipstick reds, and the graphic play of black and white.
The thirties motif extended into slinky bias-cut evening dresses frosted with Art Deco embroideries that were simply jagged with sophistication, but those same motifs in the intarsia knit of a lean sweater worn with cropped pants, or as the fine patent belts cinching the waists of sleek little tea dresses brought the looks firmly into the twenty-first century—for Herrera's decorous modern clients.

Residents voice concerns about dangerous curve
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Some local residents say a dangerous intersection is a deadly accident waiting to happen and they're calling on the city to take action.
"I've been very hesitant to cut down those two small trees," said Steve Hall. "Thursday proved my point: they are my guardrail."
Hall has lived just below the corner of Locust and Beverly Hill Streets for about four years. In that time, he's seen half-a-dozen crashes, like Thursday morning when a van crashed into one of his small trees just feet above his home. "I was lucky. May not be as lucky next time," he said.
He said that's too many crashes and too close for comfort. "It's just a matter of time before someone comes through my house," he said. "It's a big concern."
Hall's neighbor, Lisa Rasnick, is also worried, especially this time of year. She said the slope of the street plus Mother Nature is a bad combination. "It's a lot worse in the winter time. Ice snow, rain, any moisture on the road makes it worse."
Now Hall is hoping the city can make a change on the 25-mile-per-hour streets that don't have any warning signs of the slope or of the turn. "I would like to see a guard rail put up. Nothing fancy," he said. "Just something to stop a vehicle from coming into my house for my safety."
But the City of Kingsport officials said no one in the community has told them about the residents' worries. "It's definitely something we encourage to be brought to our attention. This is the first time we've heard of this complaint," said Ryan McReynolds, City of Kingsport's Public Works director.
According to crash reports from the Kingsport Police Department, there have been three crashes at that intersection since October 2011. Residents said they've seen more crashes than that, but many aren't reported to the police. "If there is an accident, I encourage them to report it to police because we monitor that data," McReynolds said.
McReynolds said the city will evaluate the area including traffic patterns, posted speed limit, amount of traffic, possible improvements and signage and work to find a solution. Anyone with road concerns is encouraged to call the City of Kingsport Traffic Department at (423) 229-9470.

I hope this doesn't seem like a silly question. I will be getting my first bees in a few weeks and would love to be able to see them through a window in the hive without having to take the top off. I have a traditional langstroth hive and was considering just cutting out a little window on the side of the deep super/hive body. My idea was to cut the wood, attach the glass to the inside of the hive and then replace the wood on the outside with some hinges and a knob so that I can open and close the window whenever I wish to view the bees. Can anyone foresee problems with this idea? Suggestions? Links to a similar design?
Many Thanks!
