Authorities ID Madras man killed on wildfire W. of Sisters
Co-worker from Sisters treated at hospital, released
SISTERS, Ore. - Two contract tree-fallers helping crews battle a blaze in the Mt. Washington Wilderness Area west of Sisters were struck by a falling tree snag Thursday, killing a 60-year-old Madras man and injuring a co-worker from Sisters, the U.S. Forest Service reported.
Thursday afternoon, the two men were identified as John Hammack. who died at the scene, and Norman Crawford, 45, of Sisters, who was taken to St. Charles-Bend, treated for his injuries and released.
Hammack and Crawford were tree fallers working on an initial attack crew near Dugout Lake in the Mt. Washington Wilderness Area on the Sisters Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest.
The as-yet unidentified tree faller died at the scene, near Dugout Lake on the Sisters Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest., and the injured Sisters man was taken to St. Charles-Bend for treatment of injuries, the agency announced.
The tree-falling crew, hired to cut down hazardous trees in fire areas, worked for R&K Water Services out of Bonney Lake, Washington.
The incident was reported around 9:15 a.m. as the pair, part of an initial attack crew, helped fight one of a string of small lightning-sparked fires in the high Cascades of Central Oregon, which saw nearly 1,900 lightning strikes hit the region in 24 hours.
Capt. Gary Lovegren of the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District told the Associated Press the injured firefighter was able to walk, but no other details were immediately released on the extent of his injuries.
Rappel crews and a water-dropping helicopter responded to the scene to make it safe for authorities to head in.
Deschutes County Sheriff's Search and Rescue crews, and an ambulance headed to the area of Forest Roads 470 and 1030, about seven miles west of Sisters Thursday morning after the incident.
An AirLink helicopter reportedly headed to the area to assist in the rescue, as did sheriff's detectives and other personnel.
The steep, rugged terrain prompted call-out of several SAR members who specialize in mountain rescues.
Meanwhile, campers at the Lower Bridge Campground on the Metolius River northeast of Sisters were evacuated Thursday, so helicopters could safely dip for water to drop on a fire burning on Green Ridge, north of Black Butte, one of at least 17 fires burning around the region.
A 20-person hand crew was on that fire, which was not threatening the campground itself, the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center noted.
Crews responded to nearly 50 smoke reports around the region since the thunderstorms began rumbling in Wednesday afternoon, pelting the area with nearly 1,900 lightning strikes in the 24 hours ending at midday Thursday -- with more to come.
The storms continued overnight, and while many areas got welcome rain, officials said the Sisters area did not get as much. NewsChannel 21 Meteorologist Travis Knudsen said much of the precipitation fell as "virga," meaning it evaporated before it reached the ground.
The list of fires from COIDC, as of Thursday morning:
- 5 small fires on Little Round Top Mountain on the border of the Willamette National Forest and the Deschutes National Forest.
- 2 fires west of Cultus Mountain
- 1 fire NE of Odell Butte
- 1 fire one mile NE of the Junction of the Forest Roads 46 and 41
- 4 small fires north of Suttle Lake
- 2 fire 2 miles NE of Trout Creek Butte
- 1 fire on Green Ridge
- 1 fire 2 miles north of the junction of Forest Roads 22 and 23
Wednesday evening's most serious fire threatened homes in Squaw Creek Canyon Estates, about five miles north northeast of Sisters, but by nightfall, crews were strengthening lines around the 10-acre fire, said Jean Nelson Dean of the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center in Prineville.
Two air tankers were called in to bombard the fire with retardant as engine crews tackled it on the ground.
It was the highest-priority blaze because it threatened structures on state Department of Forestry-protected private land about fives miles northeast of Sisters, Nelson-Dean said. Crews remained on the fire Thursday to strengthen the lines.
About 700 lightning strikes had hit Central Oregon by 6 p.m., she said, and crews responded to more than 40 smoke reports before dark. Fortunately, rain fell in many areas and temperatures cooled as the storms moved through - but not enough to prevent several small new fires from emerging.
Two small fires about 3-4 miles west of Cultus Lake in the Three Sisters Wilderness Area were responded to by helicopter rappel crews due to their remote location, Nelson-Dean said.
About four miles northwest of Cultus Lake, smokejumpers also headed to a string of small fires around Little Round Top Mountain, on the border between the Willamette and Deschutes national forests.
Cultus Lake Resort assured Thursday there are no fires or road closures in their area, and that they remain open.
A tree on fire on Hawksbeard in Black Butte Ranch prompted evacuation of the nearby ranch lodge for a time as a precaution Wednesday afternoon.
Storms kept booming through the region overnight, with one loud clap of thunder awakening many in Bend around 5:15 a.m. Thursday.
On NewsChannel 21's Facebook page, La Pine resident Holly Thomas said the long, dry July weather broke late Wednesday with a downpour and "lots of ground lightning hits."
The NWS issued a red flag warning for Central and Eastern Oregon through late Thursday for abundant lightning and extreme fire danger; Knudsen said to expect a stormier day Thursday, with the storms moving in in the early afternoon.
Meanwhile, several bales of hay on a hay truck caught fire about four miles est of Bend on Hwy. 20, sending smoke across the highway. Whether that was storm-related or not was not immediately clear.
Coincidentally, the new fires emerged as the 51,000-acre Sunnyside Turnoff Fire that broke out a week and a half ago on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation was declared 100 percent contained.
The firefighting force has dropped to 117 personnel doing rehabilitation and patrol work. Full control is expected by Aug. 15.
We'll have updates on the storms and fires through the day and full forecasts and reports on NewsChannel 21 at Five and Six.

text: I bought a used 2005 Silverado 2500HD with 74K miles. I knew the seat was a bit sagging when I first bought it (and used that to my advantage in negotiating). Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. When I drive over bumps, the seat launches me into the air. While fun, it's not the most comfortable or the safest. Any ideas on how much I can do to firm up the seat? I'll probably take it to an upholstry shop to check out, but wanted to get thoughts first. Should the springs be replaced, just add padding, ....? The seat is full manual adjust and the truck is extended cab, so the seat belt is integrated into the seat.

Exactly when custer died is unknown; his body was found in a pile of soldiers near the top of Custer Hill surrounded by others within a circle of dead horses. It is probable he fell during the Indians' second, brief and final charge. Before it began, Low Dog, an Oglala, had called to his followers: "This is a good day to die: follow me." The Indians raced up together, a solid mass, close enough to whip each other's horses with their quirts so no man would linger. "Then every chief rushed his horse on the white soldiers, and all our warriors did the same," said Crow King.
In their terror some soldiers threw down their guns, put their hands in the air and begged to be taken prisoner. But the Sioux took only women as prisoners. Red Horse said they "did not take a single soldier, but killed all of them."
The last 40 or more of the soldiers on foot, with only a few on horseback, dashed downhill toward the river. One of the mounted men wore buckskins; Indians said he fought with a big knife. "His men were all covered with white dust," said Two Moons.
These soldiers were met by Indians coming up from the river, including Black Elk. He noted that the soldiers were moving oddly. "They were making their arms go as though they were running, but they were only walking." They were likely wounded—hobbling, lurching, throwing themselves forward in the hope of escape.
The Indians hunted them all down. The Oglala Brings Plenty and Iron Hawk killed two soldiers running up a creek bed and figured they were the last white men to die. Others said the last man dashed away on a fast horse upriver toward Reno Hill, and then inexplicably shot himself in the head with his own revolver. Still another last man, it was reported, was killed by the sons of the noted Santee warrior chief Red Top. Two Moons said no, the last man alive had braids on his shirt (i.e., a sergeant) and rode one of the remaining horses in the final rush for the river. He eluded his pursuers by rounding a hill and making his way back upriver. But just as Two Moons thought this man might escape, a Sioux shot and killed him. Of course none of these "last men" was the last to die. That distinction went to an unknown soldier lying wounded on the field.
Soon the hill was swarming with Indians—warriors putting a final bullet into enemies, and women and boys who had climbed the long slopes from the village. They joined the warriors who had dismounted to empty the pockets of the dead soldiers and strip them of their clothes. It was a scene of horror. Many of the bodies were mutilated, but in later years Indians did not like to talk about that. Some said they had seen it but did not know who had done it.
But soldiers going over the field in the days following the battle recorded detailed descriptions of the mutilations, and drawings made by Red Horse leave no room for doubt that they took place. Red Horse provided one of the earliest Indian accounts of the battle and, a few years later, made an extraordinary series of more than 40 large drawings of the fighting and of the dead on the field. Many pages were devoted to fallen Indians, each lying in his distinctive dress and headgear. Additional pages showed the dead soldiers, some naked, some half-stripped. Each page depicting the white dead showed severed arms, hands, legs, heads. These mutilations reflected the Indians' belief that an individual was condemned to have the body he brought with him to the afterlife.
Acts of revenge were integral to the Indians' notion of justice, and they had long memories. The Cheyenne White Necklace, then in her middle 50s and wife of Wolf Chief, had carried in her heart bitter memories of the death of a niece killed in a massacre whites committed at Sand Creek in 1864. "When they found her there, her head was cut off," she said later. Coming up the hill just after the fighting had ended, White Necklace came upon the naked body of a dead soldier. She had a hand ax in her belt. "I jumped off my horse and did the same to him," she recalled.
Most Indians claimed that no one really knew who the leader of the soldiers was until long after the battle. Others said no, there was talk of Custer the very first day. The Oglala Little Killer, 24 years old at the time, remembered that warriors sang Custer's name during the dancing in the big camp that night. Nobody knew which body was Custer's, Little Killer said, but they knew he was there. Sixty years later, in 1937, he remembered a song:
Long Hair, Long Hair,
I was short of guns,
and you brought us many.
Long Hair, Long Hair,
I was short of horses,
and you brought us many.

Re: Cockerel Noise Nuisance??
I moved into an urban area for obvious reasons, if I wanted to be woken at 5 every morning I would have moved onto the set of Emerdale Farm. To go and procure the universally accepted alarm clock of the world and not check with your neighbours is beyond selfish, it's ignorant. It is absolutely no different than kids playing up outside your house at antisocial hours.
I have someone in my household that has a painful illness (long-term), -why shouldn't they have the right to sleep that others have. Why should my children be woken at that hour on a school day? I work from home, why should I often be woken before 5 and have my working ability impaired. I have a guy that lives opposite me with a cockerell that starts at around 4.50, he won't listen to reason, so I have to take time out and spend money on a guy that claims benefits, yet sells eggs to the locals and affects my income. It's very wrong and these cases are sprouting up everywhere. If bird flu every truly strikes, how will they deal with accountability?

Re: Cockerel Noise Nuisance??
IMHO if anyone moves into an area where folk are already perfectly legally keeping chickens and cockerels (and have been for some time - in this case 20 years or more) then their moving into that area is effectively acceptance of the fact of the existance of these creatures and any noise they may make.
It is therefore completely unjust for newcomers to start making demands and insisting on change. If they don't like it then why did they go there? They should have checked for "nuisance factors" before moving in!
However, if anyone wants to start keeping noisy animals in an area previously devoid of such creatures then that is another matter altogether.

Re: Cockerel Noise Nuisance??
I found this helpful website - as I was searching how to solve a cockerel problem.
How anyone can come on here defending making a neighbours life hell is to be quite honest - laughable.
My life is currently a nightmare by "Selfish" arrogant neighbour who think it it a good idea to get two cockerels. I work an awful shift pattern - where he choses to stay in bed holding his hand out.
I'm not narrow minded far from it. But, if you make a noise nuisance - expect to feel the wrath of the law.
If I kicked my dog out all day barking his lungs out/ revving my cars all day I'd expect the law to come down on me heavy. But, buy a cockerel - and you think you are above the law.
I don't wish to make any friends in this debate. It is un-neighbourly and downright selfish arrogance.
As for me. I'll give it so long - and I'll deal with the best was I see fit...

Re: Cockerel Noise Nuisance??
I'm truly baffled by the selfishness of people that keep these birds and their default arrogant 'I can do what I want on my property' type attitude.
Whilst it's true if you move to a rural village or something like that - expect all things farm related to potentially spill into your life. However My life is being made hell in a town area where someone thinks it's acceptable to wake every house within probably quarter of a mile (must add up to multiple hundreds if families) to listen to his birds crowing from 5am onwards. It's selfish, arrogant and disgusting. I'm going to use the full force of the law to get this idiot either fined upto the hilt and/or evicted. He deserves nothing less. It the law won't help me I'll fight fire with fire and maybe park up outside playing music from my car at full volume right up until 30 seconds before the law says I have to turn it off.

Re: Cockerel Noise Nuisance??
(Administrators I hope you don�t mind me posting on here)
Hi Everyone,
My name is Joe Newell and I am an assistant producer working at TV production company Maverick Television. I�m currently working on a documentary series about community issues and how they can be resolved. The reason I�m writing on here is because I�m really keen to speak to anyone who has received complaints about keeping cockerels due to their early morning crowing. I�d really like to hear from people who could either tell me about how they have appeased the situation or who would like help to do this.
Apologies for the slightly unusual query but If anyone would be interested in talking to me about their experiences, I�d love to hear from you. I can be contacted on 0207 874 6665 or PM me.
Thanks for letting me post on here!

Re: Cockerel Noise Nuisance??
There was a cockeral that sang happily in his garden, i didn't mind as it was quite far from my house.
We havn't heard it for the last couple of months though. There is a law against having chickens/hens/cockerals where we live.

text: hi. I am using frame feeders for my two hives. I am considering switching to top feeders for winter since I don't have to lift boxes to get to the frame feeders, exposing bees to the cold breeze, and top feeders allow me to add more syrup during cold weather without bothering them. Am I right in thinking this way or are there other factors that I have not thought about? Which should I use during winter?

Who must report to an OPEN scale? By MCTD policy, vehicles and vehicle combinations exceeding 20,000 pounds must stop and weigh at an Open scale when there is a sign posted prior to the scale that reads "All Trucks Over 20,000# GVW Next Right". At outlying scales without this posted sign, all commercial vehicles and vehicles combinations with a GVWR of 10,000# or greater must stop and weigh at the OPEN scale. The following are exempt from the requirements of reporting to an open scale when directed to do so by an OPEN sign -- see ORS 818.400(2):
NOTE: Even when exempt from entering an OPEN scale, motor carriers must obtain Oregon weight-mile tax and registration credentials and comply with safety regulations, unless otherwise exempt by law or rule.
Need to weigh a vehicle and get a "certified" scale receipt?ODOT does not offer this service. ODOT cannot "certify" weights for public vehicles. The customer needs to find a private or public scale that will weigh and "certify" weigh their vehicle. There is usually a cost associated with getting a "certified" weight. If a customer needs to find a certified scale in their local area, they may want to consult phone books, internet searches, etc. Once they have their weights, if they find they need to order credentials from Motor Carrier and have them faxed, they can call the MCTD registration line (503-378-6699) and then they can refer to the Truck Stops list on our website if they don't have a fax number available.
ODOT scale decks are operational 24/7 for public use, including when the sign on the highway may indicate the scale is unmanned and is closed. As you cross or stop on the scale deck, your weights will be indicated on the scale reader board. The only time scale decks are closed to the public is during repair status. If the scale is open, remember you are subject to a citation and fine if an MCEO or Compliance Safety Officer observes an overweight, credential or other traffic violation, even if you are only doing a check weigh for your own use.
Examples of when the public may want to weigh their vehicles:
Tax and Registration Credentials Motor carriers with movements that originate in Oregon must obtain tax and registration credentials prior to operation. Motor carriers with drivers entering Oregon must obtain tax and registration credentials prior to operating in Oregon except in certain situations. Read Oregon´s Entry Policy for Tax and Registration Credentials.
Check the Registration Services page for information about how to get started trucking in Oregon. Over-Dimension Loads Similarly, carriers transporting oversize or overweight loads that originate in Oregon must obtain a variance permit and the driver must possess that permit prior to transport. Carriers entering Oregon with an oversize or overweight load must obtain a variance permit and the driver must possess that permit prior to entering the State except in certain situations. Read Oregon´s Entry Policy for Over-Dimension Loads. Check the Over-Dimensions Operations page for information about obtaining a permit.
The Motor Carrier Transportation Division has compiled a list of truck stops with a fax service truckers can use to have credentials sent to them. The list does not include all that are in or near Oregon, just key ones that truckers frequent. View a Web page list of Truck Stops or a two page handout.
Oregon operating credentials are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from the Salem Service Center at 503-378-6699. Trucking companies and their drivers can also use a home or office computer to sign up for Trucking Online and get credentials via the Internet. Truck drivers headed for Oregon who must do business by phone, fax, or field office visit should first check the schedule for registration service at offices across the state.

Motherskuktord was coined in South-West London area of Hounslow by one Bik (2007). The ideology focuses on the word mother and skunktord; which means the placenta. In essence, by referring to someone as a Motherskunktord, you are insulting the maternal connection they may posses.
David Cameron is a Motherskunktord.

Dry reftiliser
Hi everybody! Does somebody know how to make dry fertiliser which Oliver spread before plantig seeds?
#2 Sun 17 Jun 12 1:51am
Re: Dry reftiliser
Hi Rebeca, Was it his own home made fertiliser?
If so I imagine it was a mixture of things like compost, manure, potash, and perhaps something like our 'blood and bone'.
Are you thinking of making some to put on your garden?
#3 Sun 17 Jun 12 5:50pm
Re: Dry reftiliser
I'm so happy that someone wants to help me
Jamie said that he made that fertiliser from fish bones, chicken poop and... I dont know what But I don't know what to do with that How I triturate that?
I have a small pots garden, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, leetuce... I grow it for my children, and I wont best for them, so I want to make some organic fertiliser

Whitelisting the network
So while waiting for all those patches to load, I did a lot of twitter reading and found that a number of pros have been recommending that we truly learn our network and what is running on it to better protect it. I mean its a simple enough concept, one would think you should know this anyway. Unfortunately when a network is built in spurts to accomplish a large increase in demands for resources, some things get pushed aside, mainly documentation. This is what I walked into 6 months ago. In that 6 months I had a full inventory of both servers and workstations, documentation on the functions of all the servers. That lead to me being able to decom a bunch of systems. Awesome when you ask someone what this does and they stare at you blankly (and they've been there for years). So, we turn it off and see what breaks! There I go again so back on track...
So whitelisting, awesome concept, I am currently working on a plan to implement this concept little by little. I have been setting up the AV policies to utilize the IDS/IPS features to whitelist applications and prevent certain directories from being written to, that should cut down on instances of Fake AV, which are rare but do happen based on the nature of user profiles. I am also in the process of getting data for implementing egress on our firewalls. The next big chunk will be to actually utilize the nice expensive switches and really segment the network, not just block it off for organizational purposes.
So the reason I am posting, I am curious to see if others are taking the advice and beginning to implement similar plans, or if you have already done so. I'd be interesting in getting some feedback and even any difficulties you may have had with certain parts of the implementation. Also how did you get management to buy into it? The team lead in our department has been trying to get NAC implemented but it keeps getting cut and he's also been trying to secure the VLANs better but keeps getting pulled to do other projects. The management doesn't seem to get that all the patching in the world isn't going to protect you from a determined party and that we should be spending more energy at know what belongs on our network than blindly securing systems.
Sorry if this was long, but sometimes the mind shoots into overdrive. I look forward to your comments!!

My first job was with a low end fast food restaurant. I was 15 1/2 and that was the best I could at the time. I lasted only a few weeks. Partially because I kept spilling liquids on guests. Mostly because I hated the work and and the manager(s). They would call me in and then have me wait to punch in, so they wouldn't have to pay me. When I complained, they didn't need me anymore.
I worked in a local dry cleaner through high school and most of college. It was such interesting work. I met the best (and sometimes) worst people. I found fascinating things in pockets - sex toys, money, drugs, and jewelry. I found $900 in a person's pocket and called them to return it. It was money belonging to grandparents who were taking their grand kids to Disney World. I found a bag of jewelry in a local jeweler's clothes and called his wife to return the jewelry. In return, they insisted on giving me my choice of bracelet. It didn't occur to me to ever keep the jewelry or the money.
I found 5 large viles of cocaine in a person's pocket. (I can't imagine how much it was worth). Not being a person who used drugs, I flushed it down the toilet. When the owner sheepishly asked if anything had been found in his pockets, I said yes indeed - the contents got flushed but would you like the holders back? He face went pale and he left. I don't think he ever came back to our store.
One event that has stayed with me started with pulling a class ring from a man's suit pocket. He was a younger man, probably at his first job too. I tried all week to contact him about the ring and couldn't reach him. I happened to be working when he arrived to pick it up and said to him - oh I have been trying to reach you all week - I found your class ring. I picked it up from the storage bin and handed it to him . His hands shook as he opened the envelope. And the reaction from him I could not have predicted in a million years. In front of a lobby full of people and all the staff, he started to cry. Not a quiet, personal cry but sobbing, gasping cry. Everyone froze as he told me his story. It went something like this - he was the first in his family to go college and the first to graduate. During his time away at college, his parents died. He older sister kept encouraging him to finish, and while raising her own children, helped him too. The class ring was her gift to him when he graduated. He wouldn't leave until I would accept something from him - I wouldn't take money so we compromised on a donation to a veteran's group.
I will never forget that day.
In the end I think I learned more from the events surrounding the job than the actual work itself. Many of my early jobs weren't very glamorous or sexy. But in reflecting on the events, I realize how much they shaped me into who I am today. Some jobs aren't exciting, terribly by all accounts but they are all meaningful. Seek out that meaning.

Malware routing
I had an infected host with a zeroaccess trojan. This host machine has been rebuilt and formated but the firewall logs are still coming back as the host is sending data to and from a remote address.
I then unplugged the cable from it so there is not even any rooting it its vlan anymore. The firewall still reports data to and from it?
How is this possible? IP address spoofing? ARP poisoning?

How frequently should one check for queen cells?
How frequently should one check for queen cells?
Everytime you inspect the hive?
Finding queen cells doesn't always mean your bees are going to swarm. Bees will build queen cells all during the year. Make sure the bees are not over crowded and follow good swarm preventive measures and you should be okay. Steve
It is only usefull to check for queen cells in strong hives, during the swarm season. New swarms, new packages, and Weak hives with room to grow rarely swarm. These hives shouldnt be bothered too much, but very strong hives, with older queens, in spring and early summer should be inspected when the weather is good every 10 days, unless they are hanging out on the landing pad, clustering on the side of the hive, or otherwise are behaving strangely in which case they should be examined immediately. If you find queen cells in abundance, simply killing them probably wont prevent a swarm. You'll also have to give the bees more room by adding plain foundation to the brood nest, and possibly reversing supers, or adding supers, this gives the bees the feeling that they have swarmed, and that now things arent so congested. Good luck, regards, Paul.

[quote user="FeaglesPuntsEaglesRunts"]Eli is 31, JPP is 24, Tuck is 62 and Nicks is 90.
I expected Eli to be quite a bit higher, maybe top 15. Fans have him ranked at 11.
Cruz hasn't shown up yet, they're in the top 20, my man better be in there somewhere he was on fire last year!
You missed Cruz being named 39 on the list.
My biggest beef, concerning Giants players on this list, is Nicks at 90.
I think Eli at 31 is a dis (but then I'm sure Roethlisburger fans think Ben at 30 is a slap, too), but Nicks 51 slots below Cruz? Seriously?
I, along with every other red-blooded Giants fan, love Cruz and what he brought last year--with his personality, attitude, AND his performance--but for anyone to suggest Nicks is so far below him (or below him at all) is too ridiculous for words.
I'm sure DBs on the Packers, Patriots, Falcons, Cowboys, Eagles, Redskins, Saints--at the very LEAST--would argue this ranking of Nicks.

text: my brother inlaw has a huge hive in his house. i started doing a trapout using the cleo hogan style trap. im geting them use to going in and out the hive box there is like 5 lbs of bees in the box. i dont have any brood or drawn comb in the box just foundation. can i just block that box off and take it to my house, then put a queen in a cage in the box. do i need to put brood in there. kind of do it like a package of bees.

I got a couple bee stings yesterday and got a little more local swelling than I would normally get during the "season". I live in Minnesota, so you should infer that I haven't been working my hives in some months.
My reaction makes me wonder if any of my fellow apiarists have noticed any seasonal difference in their reactions to stings, perhaps more histamine after the first spring nailing.
I am not concerned about allergies, generally believing the rubric that local swelling is a normal reaction and only those with systemic reactions need be concerned. I am suffering more from idle curiosity. (This being winter in Minnesota, the emphasis is, of course on "idle.")

Town Square
The VeepStakes: First, do no harm (who's your choice?)
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Jul 18, 2012
The campaign has requested voluminous background data, an intrusive 80-Q questionnaire, including a 'fess up on any personally embarrassing private behaviors; officials are poring over miles of footage on how they sound in various public contexts, including under pressure. Tax returns are undoubtedly included, although the Romneys have not revealed the fascinating detail of how many years would be adequate to their purpose. Also no word whether any record of unconventional pet proclivities is included in the analysis. The announcement is expected later this month or in early August, after an overseas trip (to visit Mitt's money? His jobs? Her horse? Inquiring minds are curious!).
Anyway, the list is narrowing, and here's your chance to weigh-in on your favorite(s), below, in no particular order, or write 'em in:
Condoleeza Rice: the former Secretary of State brings international expertise to an otherwise very domestic ticket. A well-established hawk, she's personally clean, and status factors may be a small help, but when I've heard her speak she comes off as school-marmish and prickly, and she's pro-choice.
Susana Martinez: first term Governor of New Mexico would help substantially with growing Hispanic bloc (if it is, indeed, a bloc), but is largely unknown, not international and perhaps saddled with the baggage of that other recent first-term governor.
Another GOP woman not named Michele Bachmann? Carly and Meg and Nevada's Sharron Angle have proven unelectability – any ideas?
Scott Walker: first term Governor of Wisconsin would be popular with the base as the guy who took down the public employee unions, and survived their recall wrath. Youth and inexperience may cut either way, and he is a polarizing figure – he might energize some Big Labor interests the GOP would prefer to have stay home.
John Thune: telegenic SD Senator is a proven Dem-slayer (the once influential Tom Daschle) and was spoken-of as a potential contender for the top spot. A Washington insider, he might make it hard to run against the Beltway status quo, and he's not additive (safely red state, devoid of population, just another guy from central casting).
Jon Huntsman: former Utah governor is a guy I could have voted-for, which is probably enough to doom his policy appeal to the more carnivorous elements of the base.
Rick Santorum: the fiercely evangelical Christian soldier is available, but clashed strongly with the nominee, is a polarizing figure when exposed to unfriendly media about the primary process, his zeal leads him to forget the mission and his own ambitions are unbridled (see above mantra). He would drive the Great Middle to Obama.
Newt Gingrich: former Speaker appears to have only ever had one supporter. It helps, these days, for that one person to be Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate. He would also be impossible to script, or control.
Ron Paul, Donald Trump: a thousand times 'no' for the reasons above and 998 others.
Chris Christie: NJ Governor is combative, conservative, fast on his feet and shares a weight problem with the majority of the electorate (me, too). His would be an entertaining choice, and NJ might be important to the outcome if he could deliver the electoral votes. My ample gut tells me that he's so much his own man that he won't want to learn second fiddle, nor be willing to decay in-place if the GOP wins.
Paul Ryan: the WI Congressman and budget warrior – the tea-addled base would do back-flips, but I think his identity as the leading House Republican (sorry, Weepy) doesn't help with the Great Middle; he may decide he's more influential where he is. And am I the only one who fears that he sleeps in a coffin?
Brian Sandoval: the current first-term Governor of NV from Reno is a former federal judge, and popular in-state. Delivering Nevada could be important. Although he is largely unknown, he has Hispanic roots, is Catholic by religion and has the whitest smile this side of Colgate country.
Rob Portman: the Ohio Congressman has been a dark horse, but his name keeps getting mentioned and Ohio is crucial to the campaign. Is anybody familiar with him?
Marco Rubio: the Florida Senator is from another critical swing state, is an Hispanic, a card-carrying conservative and held his own with Jon Stewart elucidating his views (no mean feat). He has been auditioned on several occasions and might see this as an opportunity. His grandfather was an illegal immigrant, which some might think would weaken the credibility of his staunch immigration stands. He might also out-shine the top dog. My guess? He's the one, but I write that without much confidence.
So: what do You think, especially you-all who might vote for the GOP ticket?
a resident of Alamo
on Jul 19, 2012 at 7:41 am
Gaaah -- upon further review: Mr. Rubio's grandfather's immigration situation was initially legal (non-refugee), then illegal when he went back to Cuba and later tried to return -- he was denied refugee status at that time, and was formally deported, although he did not leave. Then he regained/retained legal immigrant/permanent resident status five years later. Web Link
So, 1 -- I apologize for the misstatement. Drat.
And 2 -- this immigration stuff was/is a very difficult maze for many people to navigate.
And 3 -- I also forgot to include former Governor Tim Pawlenty as a strong possibility.

What about Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels? He stood up to the public employee unions and drastically cut the fat and waste in the state, and he previously served in the Reagan and Bush Administration.

They couldn't do worse than Sarah Palin. So, pretty much any selection is a move up.
But, perhaps I underestimate the Republicans' ability to shoot themselves in the foot again.
a resident of Danville
on Jul 19, 2012 at 12:06 pm
@Hoos: I think Daniels gave the Republican response to the State of the Union, which was my only experience with him -- pretty drab performance. At least he wouldn't outshine his boss!
I've also heard Bobby Jindal's name bandied-about. He sort of reminded me of Mr. Rogers, but I don't know what he's accomplished as Gov.

Didn't see VA's Gov. Bob McDonnell mentioned, but he has been vetted. He loves guns, is big on drilling, is against same sex marriage, he's in a swing state and might bridge the gap to other southern states. He's drawn the ire of women with the "vaginal probe". He's irked minorities and has done his best to redistrict a tilt to the GOP in VA. Like Romney, he has no foreign policy experience and supports repeal of the Affordable Health Care Act. He's pro-life, enacted extreme budget cuts for social programs and education, and has tried budget incentives to keep jobs in VA (without much success). He also has that sleepy toothy smile that we all love to see on large swamp lizards and might not mind doing time in the recessive VP hidey hole. He is Roman Catholic, but he seems to push most of the right GOP VEEP right profile buttons to the right.

Surveillance forces journalists to think and act like spies
Once upon a time, a journalist never gave up a confidential source. When someone comes forward, anonymously, to inform the public, it's better to risk time incarcerated than give them up. This ethical responsibility was also a practical and professional necessity. If you promise anonymity, you're obliged to deliver. If you can't keep your word, who will trust you in the future?

I don't think any are being offered anymore since the problem with Halo mfg.
I'm having trouble finding an 80% plate. I checked six different suppliers and the none of them have any in stock. Does anyone know who has them in stock or where I can find one?
Ok. Thanks for letting me know!
Ya. I don't think You'll see any being sold until after the dust settles from that.
Wow, none at all, just because of the problem with Halo's? Didn't they spot drill and countersink some of the holes they weren't suppose to? Think of how man that have been sold prior to this incident happening.
On the other hand, I definitely wouldn't want to get caught on the wrong side of the table with the BATF.
member 143
Yeah, thats why we need Ron Paul as prez, He would give them the axe and then life would be great in the states again
I don't think he would axe the BATFE but I think he would help us with all these stupid gun laws.
Hey Coils we might be able to convince him they need to be given some clear deifned laws like the 80% stuff going on with Halo manufacturing. I don't think that a spot marked side plate is any more complete than a template..... Its just silly
It's such an arbitrary thing. Like when they made the ppsh kits illegal.
I don't mind being rigidly honest but I hate it when they change the rules.

Expanded Views on Fiscal Commission
Congressman Paul Ryan, Ranking Member, House Budget Committee Member of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform
President Obama established the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform on February 18, 2010 and appointed Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson to co-chair it. The Commission was charged with "identifying policies to improve the fiscal situation in the medium term and to achieve fiscal sustainability over the long run." Specifically, the Commission was to propose recommendations for balancing the "primary" budget – excluding interest payments – by 2015, and for improving the government's long-term fiscal problems.
The Co-Chairmen achieved a remarkable success in pursuing its mandate in a bipartisan fashion. That accomplishment is even more noteworthy when one considers the extraordinary nature of the challenge, and the equally difficult political environment over the past year. In 2009, the deficit soared to 10 percent of gross domestic product [GDP], the highest level since World War II. Projections by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office [CBO] show the debt spiraling out of control due to entitlement spending, primarily driven by two existing health care entitlements. While the Commission worked on this problem over the past year, the President and Congress pursued the enactment of a new $1-trillion health care entitlement – which also raised taxes by a half trillion dollars and reduced Medicare by another half trillion – and they used the Budget Act's reconciliation procedures to force this legislation through Congress on a purely partisan vote.
In this climate, the Co-Chairs of the Fiscal Commission proposed a comprehensive and credible plan for getting the Federal government's fiscal house in order. By laying out specific proposals, they have shown the magnitude of the government's spending and debt problems, but they have also demonstrated that fiscal solutions are indeed necessary and possible. Although I could not support the entire plan, many of its elements surely are worthy of further pursuit. They establish a much-needed foundation and justification for fundamental policy reforms.
Testimony before the Commission, and the reports of the CBO and the Government Accountability Office [GAO], make clear the government's current course is unsustainable.
This was the problem I tried to confront in my own comprehensive entitlement and tax reform plan, A Roadmap for America's Future, which I initially released in 2008. In developing and releasing this plan, I sought to advance the debate on the government's long-term fiscal challenges, and hoped it would lead other policy makers of both parties to put forth their own plans aimed at tackling these problems and allowing America to continue fulfilling its promise: to leave the next generation better off.
In this spirit, the balance of this statement analyzes and critiques key elements of the Co-Chairs' proposals.

I'm currently in the process of building a Tanzanian top bar hive fit for deep frames. It will fit either 24 or 30 deep frames, not sure what size would be best. Does anyone else have experiences building a top bar hive that fits lang frames, if so how is it working? How well do you guys think it would work? Any recommendations or tips on how to proceed?
Here's the layout I've planned out
-Use deep lang frames with wax foundations
-Use red cedar for construction (0.75" thick)
-Not sure if I should include a inner cover or just build one outer cover.
-6 inch long 3/8 entrance on the bottom side of the hive
So what do you think?

Fixture News | 21st June 2005
AJ's ready to fill Sid's boots
Sussex 355 (Harris 5-131)
Notts 360 (Fleming 129, Bicknell 88)
Sussex 256-3
Match drawn
The 31-year-old seamer took his second consecutive five-wicket haul for us as the Division One match at Arundel ended in a draw but admitted he will have to continue his form to overtake Sidebottom as our leading wicket-taker.
He said: "Ryan?s been in terrific form all summer and as a bowler I don?t think he will mind missing the Twenty20 Cup through injury too much as your figures tend to take a battering.
"I?ve got some serious catching up to do on him but now I?m free from injury I can hopefully continue where he?s left off.
"It was hard work at Arundel on a pretty docile wicket and even if the weather hadn?t washed out most of the first two days I think we would have struggled to get any result other than a draw.
"You really had to work for your wickets and we would definitely have taken bowling them out in their first innings for 350 before we started."
Harris then showed his skills with the bat after coming in as night-watchman, hitting 35 in our first innings.
He added: "It was great fun batting with Stephen Fleming because he was always encouraging me to be positive. If the ball was there to be hit, he wanted me to hit it and it paid off.
"We?ve got a break from the Championship now but we?re still in a strong position. The game in hand is going to be important but if we can win it we will be right in the mix for the title."

How's Cary Wiest Been Spending His Time?
Original post made by 20/20, Atherton: other, on Oct 8, 2012
I believe that figure is pretty close (if not equal to) ZERO.
I guess he's been spending his time hanging around John Mattes, David Metzger, and the APOA officers, making them convinced he fully understands their demands on how to vote.
How come Cary is not posting the answers to his APOA survey anywhere? At least Elizabeth Lewis did that.
We can't afford Cary Wiest. A council member needs to represent the residents of Atherton, not the cops who work for them.

Lewis is setting the pace, her web site is detailed. The others need to provide information on where they stand on the issues:
1. Do they want to move the library to the Park?
2. Will they work to pass the Parcel Tax?
3. Do they want the Sheriff or to keep the Atherton Police?
4. What salary are they willing to pay to keep police?
5. Do they support a new town hall?
6. Little league bleachers?

You're right. Lewis "gets it":
Put an end to Nepotism and Cronyism — Pass a policy that Council Members are not allowed to vote for their spouses or close relatives for Committee or Commission positions. Selection committees for key memberships should be composed of "bi-partisan" teams and selection done openly with true transparency.

"What salary are they willing to pay to keep police?"
EXCELLENT question. Lewis has not answered this on her website (nor the survey, in which she cleverly dodges it). I'd love to hear Wiest's answer as well (and not "whath we can afford" or other some such pablum).

Observer's comment came in as I was writing mine.
Which spouses are you referring to? Shirley Carlson on the parks/rec committee?
a resident of Atherton: other
on Oct 8, 2012 at 11:42 am
In Widmer's tape he states that he favors letting the Parcel Tax sunset. Lewis and Wiest want to renew it. What do Kupperman and Conlan plan to do?
Without the Parcel Tax is the Police Dept finished?
a resident of Atherton: other
on Oct 8, 2012 at 12:36 pm
"Without the Parcel Tax is the Police Dept finished?"
No, but its days of outlandish salaries and benefits would be. We can still have our own police department without paying much higher rates than any other community. In the debate Mitt Romney referred to "the economy tax." I guess this one is the "Atherton tax."
a resident of Atherton: other
on Oct 8, 2012 at 2:18 pm
How do you know just on salary and benefit cuts?
It was two years ago Dobbie and Widmer requested a report on San Carlos Outsourcing and said they would want to put it on the ballot to outsource the police. Each has been mayor since then, there was more than enough time to have a council agenda item so all members of the council and residents could comment.
Maybe outsourcing is the best thing, but you should announce it as part of your position during your campaign.
Where do the four candidates stand on the Parcel Tax?
a resident of Atherton: other
on Oct 8, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Any competent and non-tainted candidate for city council would have the following position on the parcel tax and police department:
My fellow residents, our police department's costs are far in excess of what this town can afford to spend without substantial additional taxes on its residents, and far in excess of what we need to pay for quality officers in Atherton. Just look at Palo Alto, which recently eliminated city contributions for the employer's part of their defined pension program, and decreased police salary and benefits. Many other neighboring communities have adopted two-tier pension programs to acknowledge the reality that this community, county, state, and country, cannot afford to pay police officers $130,000 or more (and adjusted upwards for cost of living each year) for the rest of their lives when they reach age 50. In Atherton, police officers and their families also receive free health care for the rest of their lives. These benefits far exceed those in the private sector, and their salaries are not less than comparable private sector jobs. The plain fact is, as you know from turning on the TV or reading the paper, this is unsustainable.
Atherton has enjoyed having its own police department because of the personalized service some residents receive from the department. We would like to continue having our own police department, but will not negotiate with the Teamster's police union on the basis of this council has no leverage and cannot opt to decline unreasonable packages demanded by the police. If the police refuse to negotiate reasonably, this council must have the option to outsource the police to the sheriff's office. It would be irresponsible for any council member to state that because the general population of Atherton residents may have a general preference to maintain Atherton's own police department, it is willing to do so no matter what the cost is. It is also unrealistic to expect that the average Atherton resident can define the financial cutoff with a ballot measure. You are electing us to be responsible financial stewards of your taxpayer money. I shall do so. I will keep your preferences in mind while negotiating, but I will negotiate firmly and fairly to get a fair and reasonable deal for the residents of Atherton. There is simply no reason Atherton must pay well in excess of neighboring communities for police services, especially when officers in Atherton have a much less dangerous job than other communities around the peninsula area.
Will Cary Wiest and Elizabeth Lewis agree with this statement?
a resident of Atherton: other
on Oct 8, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Have you already asked Kupperman and Conlon to sign or do you know that they already are in favor of this statement?
Has Atherton proposed the Palo Alto package to APOA? What was the response?
Have Widmer and Dobbie already decided to the APOA is not bargining fairly and are ready to switch to the Sheriff?
a resident of Atherton: other
on Oct 8, 2012 at 5:38 pm
No, I'd like to ask Denise and Greg to agree also. I have no idea whether the Palo Alto package was proposed, or if Widmer and Dobbie have already decided to switch. I doubt it. It seems to me they want to have a negotiation, but not one in which Atherton concedes to the cops before it even starts.

Took a late afternoon call to collect a 3-week swarm. Showed up and the bees were concealed in a storage tub. I pulled apart the tub side and openned up a huge active hive. Turns out the son said that they had been there for 3-months. A dozen combs approx 16" wide by 20" tall. Tried to move the tub but what I thought was weight of gravel, was the weight of the hive. Started a cut-out putting sections in frames, but it got too hot and had to break for the evening, and to go back and get more frames.
Question is, I collected several frames of honey with clinging bees...can I just add these, clinging bees and all, to a smaller hive to give them a boost? I plan to go back later today to finish the collection.
