Several tornadoes ripped through the South on April 24, killing 12 people. One of the hardest hit states was Mississippi where a twister packing winds of 160 miles per hour left a path of destruction 50 miles long, according to the National Weather Service.
"This tornado was enormous," said Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour. He described the scene as "utter obliteration."
A Violent Path
The tornado started in Louisiana, traveled through western Mississippi and moved northeast before weakening in Alabama. The twister tore down trees, homes and businesses.
Mitchell Saxton, the owner of Ribeye's Steak House in Yazoo City, Mississippi, said everyone in the restaurant took shelter in a walk-in freezer.
"The roof was caving in, TVs flying off the shelves and it was horrible," Saxton said. "We got in the walk-in freezer, sat in there for about ten minutes. When I came out it was really bad." The restaurant was destroyed but no one was hurt.
Tornadoes also were reported in Arkansas and Tennessee. A twister damaged about 20 homes in western Tennessee on Saturday, but resulted in no injuries. The same storm front sliced across Georgia, South Carolina and Florida on Sunday, causing some destruction, but no deaths.
After the Storm
Thousands across Mississippi were left without electricity. Downed power lines and trees blocked roads. Rescuers searched the hard-hit areas to find anyone who might be trapped. Survivors returned to destroyed homes to save what they could.
Malcolm Gordon, 63, of Yazoo City, Mississippi, lost his home, but is happy to be alive. "I'll just bulldoze what's left and start over," Gordon said.

The "Dean's Science Division Mentoring/Advising/Teaching Award" is being renamed for faculty member Mary DeYoung, who died this summer, in honor of her outstanding dedication to working with students.
Dr. Moses Lee, who is dean for the natural and applied sciences and professor of chemistry, announced the name change during the division's annual fall luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 13, in the A. Paul Schaap Science Center. The award, "The Mary J. DeYoung Natural and Applied Sciences Division Faculty Mentoring, Advising and Teaching Award," will next be given during the division's spring luncheon on Thursday, March 8, in the science center.
"I am convinced this is the most fitting way to honor our beloved colleague Mary DeYoung and her exemplary record as a long-time teacher, mentor and advisor," said Dr. Moses Lee, dean for the natural and applied sciences and professor of chemistry." She would have been very deserving of this award, since she was nominated several times in the past. Students spoke enthusiastically and warmly of her and they revered her as a professor. She will be missed, but with this award her legacy at Hope College will forever be cherished."
The student-centered award recognizes a faculty member who has gone beyond the call of duty in being an exceptional mentor, advisor and teacher to students. Award criteria include classroom teaching and instruction; research mentoring; and advising (either academic, career, or student clubs and organizations). Faculty are nominated in writing for the award by upperclassmen upon consultation with their respective student colleagues in each of the eight NAS departments. A maximum of two nominations can be made by students from each department. Eventually the student leaders meet with Lee to select the winner from among the nominees.
DeYoung, an associate professor of mathematics, died on Monday, July 25, 2011, at age 58 after a brief battle with cancer. Her teaching and scholarly emphasis was on mathematics education. The college presented her with its Janet L. Andersen Excellence in Teaching Award in 2010 in recognition of her work and perseverance in preparing pre-service elementary teachers for careers in education, including through her teaching as well as by serving as the official academic advisor for many mathematics elementary-education majors and as an informal advisor for other elementary students.

I have been a vegetable gardener for a number of years, and decided to start keeping bees as a way to increase my garden's yield (especially the melons). I purchased my hive kit from Dadant, contacted the State Dept. of Ag for permit, assembled and painted my hive.
When I contacted the Village of Palatine, Illinois, where I live, I found that the ordinances regarding beekeeping are so restrictive, that I could not keep a hive in my yard.
I still want to start bee keeping, but I am in need of a place to put the hive. I have been looking on the net for lists of farms or anywhere that might be looking for free pollination while I get up to speed with my hobby. Does anyone have any great ideas on how to find a local place to put my hive?

SAG Awards 2013 Best Moments: Jennifer Lawrence Thanks MTV & More
The 19th annual SAG Awards ceremony was full of hilarious acceptance speeches and heartfelt moments! Click through the best moments of the show!
Jennifer Lawrence thanked MTV for her successful career in movies, Tina Fey joked that Amy Poehler gave birth to Lena Dunham, and Sofia Vergara admitted that her ample bosom made her look like a hooker! The 19th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 27 was a night to remember!
Our Favorite Moments:
1. Sofia Vergara admits that her father once told her if she did anything artistic, it would make her look like a hooker. Her reply? "I told him, 'With these huge boobs that I inherited from your mother, I already look like a hooker!"
2. While presenting alongside Jeff Daniels, Kerry Washington flubbed the phrase "make us laugh day in and day out," saying instead as "make us laugh in and out". She charmingly recovered, getting a laugh from the audience herself.
3. When Tina Fey accepted her award for Best Female Actor in a Television Series, Comedy, she gave a loving shout-out to her BFF and Golden Globes co-host Amy Poehler. She also got in a great joke: "Amy, I've known you since you were pregnant with Lena Dunham!"
4. While accepting the award for Ensemble Cast, Television Series, Comedy on behalf of his show Modern Family, Jesse Tyler Ferguson took the time to show his gratitude to fellow nominees 30 Rock and The Office, both of which are in their final season this year.
5. Jessica Chastain, looking stunning in red, introduced a heartfelt memorial segment, honoring all the actors who had passed in the prior year.
6. Accepting the Lifetime Achievement award from Alec Baldwin, Dick Van Dyke gave an acceptance speech both hysterical and touching — proving why he's the star he is.
7. When accepting the award for Female Actor in a Motion Picture for her Oscar-nominated performance in Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer Lawrence thanked MTV, saying that her appearance in a network promo for My Super Sweet 16 earned her a place in the Screen Actors Guild.

I love ti have cookies most of the time when I am not busy. I am thinking I should make it by my own someday. And whenever I would want of making it, I would definitely ask from anyone over here. As I don't know to make it and don't know anyone who can make it.

Re: COOKIES ANONYMOUS
I'm in love with this rhubarb crumble recipe at the minute:
10 sticks of rhubarb
4 tbsp water
8 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp powdered ginger
110g/4oz butter, softened
110g/4oz demerara sugar
180-200g/6-7oz flour
To serve
double cream
Preparation method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Cut the rhubarb into 7�cm/3in long sticks and place on an oven tray, sprinkle with the water and caster sugar and roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from the oven, sprinkle over the ginger and mix well.
Fill an ovenproof dish about 4cm/1�in deep with the rhubarb.
Rub the butter into the flour and sugar to make the crumble topping. Sprinkle over the rhubarb and bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the crumble topping is crisp and golden-brown and the rhubarb filling has softened and is bubbling.
Remove and allow to cool slightly before serving with double cream.
Good old comfort food. And rhubarb's in season, so it's a good excuse to make it all the time!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Two years ago I was training for a Half Marathon but it all went Pete Tong on my run-up 10k when I developed horrible blisters during the race (raining, hills, wrong socks...) and I lost my confidence - and my ability to continue training as I couldn't walk for a week afterwards!
Since then I've found it really hard to get back into it - I'm not a natural runner, athelete, exceriser.. And I've found it easy to come up with excuses not to run eg being too tired (I travel a lot for work), the weather, temptation for other options etc.
I really want to get back into it to lose weight, increase my fitness levels and generally feel more 'healthy'. My husband and I would like to start a family next year so I have motivation to get in shape for that reason too...
Can anyone give me any realistic tips as to how I can start again, banish the bad thoughts and stick with it so I can get back in the zone of considering myself "a runner"?
Would appreciate any wise words. Cheers!
I have just read the article in July's edition of RW and that should give you the lift you need. I only have a bit of weight to shift and need to step it up a gear so if someone can lose 9st in a year I think that could be the should be the lift you need. I'm planning next weeks run and sticking to it. Let you know if I feel the same this time next week!
Not a natural runner myself I get the 'how can I do it and why am I doing it' but the feel good factor that it gives after your run is wow! I only started running last September, could barely manage a mile before getting out of breath, then it was a mile and a half and then 2. I now go out 3 to 4 times a week and do at least 7km each time. If you can't run walk around the block, I used to drag my husband kicking and screaming to walk around the block to just do something active. Used to walk a 3.5 mile round trip to post letters even though I could have nipped around the cormer. Not sure about how fit I am now but PMA, managed to avoid the slippery slope of depression at the begining of the year. I have done 7.23km today and aiming for 25km by the end of Friday, need to do it, need to do it. Do a fast walk in the rain one night after work - it feels sooooo good. Post what you have done Ali Geake I will read it and post whether I am on top of reaching the goal this week! Don't fret - I am still over weight but Rome wasn't built in a day and all that jazz. Do it do it do it.
Thanks all for your encouragement and advice. I thought long and hard about whether I do actually enjoy running... I think it's more that I don't really like exercising or getting out of breath but the competitive side of me is also present and I like the idea of 'beating myself'. So... I've downloaded the 'Get Running' app for my phone to get me from 'couch to 5k' in nine weeks and keep reminding myself of the 10k I did do when I felt amazing afterwards (rather than the 10k when I was injured and cold and wet!). My husband has also been very supportive and agreed to let me splash out on a new pair of trainers to get me going - always good to have a shopping motivation - I am female, after all...
So...here we go, nine weeks to run a 5k and here's hoping some lbs drop off along the way!
First run scheduled for Sunday when we're back from hols - and I've signed up for Pilates classes too to include some cross-training and work on my core...

Today, Avista filed a request with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (commission) to increase rates for electric and natural gas customers in Washington. Avista has not filed a general rate request in Washington since April 2012. If approved, the new rates would take effect beginning Jan. 1, 2015. Here are the details about the request:
The filing includes:
· a request for a 3.8 percent increase in base revenues for capital investments
· the expiration of two rebates customers are currently receiving that are reducing monthly electric bills by 2.8 percent
· the proposal of a new rebate that would reduce customer bills by 1.1 percent
· a request to increase the monthly basic charge from $8 to $15
These rebates are passed through to customers on a dollar-for-dollar basis and do not increase or decrease the company's earnings.
Bill impact:
The bill impact for a customer using an average of 965 kilowatt hours per month would be, if approved:
· A total billed increase of $4.89 per month or 6.1 percent
· A revised monthly bill of $84.98
Natural Gas
· a request for an increase in base revenues of 8.1 percent
· a request to increase the monthly basic charge from $8 to $12
The bill impact for a customer using an average of 65 therm per months would be, if approved:
· A total billed increase of $5.23 per month or 8.5 percent
· A revised monthly bill of $66.42
This request will take time to be approved. In Washington, this can take up to 11 months, during which time the commission will thoroughly review Avista's request and costs as well as relevant data and take public comments. Once reviewed, the commission will approve rates they feel are reasonable and fair.
The cost of energy and customer rates
The main driver in filing the requests is the continuing need to expand and replace the facilities and equipment we use every day to serve you, our customer. We expect capital investments of $335 million in 2014, up from $280 million in 2013. These investments include upgrades and maintenance of generation facilities, transmission and distribution equipment, natural gas pipe and information technology upgrades.
Keeping rates fair and reasonable for our customers is a key part of our decision making. It's a balance. The cost of energy continues to rise, as does the cost to generate and distribute this energy.
What does this investment look like?
Below are some capital projects that are included in the rate request.
Post Falls South Channel Dam Project
Beginning spring 2014, Avista will upgrade the 106-year-old South Channel Dam, one of three dams that make up the Post Falls Hydroelectric Development. The project includes:
· replacing the original concrete on the structure that helps control water levels of Lake Coeur d'Alene and parts of the three rivers
· installing new electronic gates and hoists
· installing new electrical and controls to automate the opening and closing of the spillway gates, increasing efficiencies and reducing cost
This work will increase reliability and preserve the life of this important generation resource.
Nine Mile Powerhouse Project
We are in the midst of a multi-year project to rehabilitate the Nine Mile Powerhouse, also 106-years-old. . The project will replace original generators, turbines and other equipment that will increase the generation of clean, renewable, low-cost power.
Customer Information System and Enterprise Asset Management System
Avista's customer information system is the foundation of Avista's day-to-day customer operations. For 20 years, the system has been meeting the needs of our customers and the company, but like pipe, wires and equipment, it needs to be replaced. The system touches all of our customers and supports traditional utility business functions, such as meter reading, customer billing, payment processing, credit, customer service orders and material management.
Natural Gas Pipe Replacement
Avista continues a major project to systematically replace portions of natural gas distribution pipe. The project is replacing hundreds of miles of natural gas pipeline that was installed prior to 1987.
Learn more about the rate-making process here. You can also watch this video and read this one-sheet.
To qualify for the free Manufactured Home Duct Sealing Program, a resident must be an Avista electric or natural gas customer in Washington living in a manufactured home that:
- is heated primarily by a forced air furnacehas ductwork outside the heated space (in attic or crawl space)
- is the customer's year-round residence, not a vacation home; and
- the customer owns or has permission from their landlord to participate in the program

Course evaluations are now manged by an online system called Digital Measures. This system provides an online interface for students to enter their evaluations and for faculty to view the results of the course evaluations.

911 call sparks lockdown in Greene County
GREENE COUNTY, Tenn. - An anonymous phone call to Greene County 911 led to a lockdown at Chuckey Doak high school Tuesday morning.
The caller told dispatchers there was going to be a gunman on campus.
As a precaution, all other county and Greeneville city schools were placed on a modified lockdown. There are no reports of any injuries.
Megan Brantley says there are deputies on the scene and they are investigating the call. Deputies tell her they found the student they believe placed the 911 call. They say that student has not provided any details.
We will bring you more information as we receive it later on-air and on-line.

Nevada County Sheriff's deputies arrest alleged squatters on burglary charges
June 19, 2013
An alert neighbor helped Nevada County Sheriff's deputies nab a couple who allegedly had been squatting in several nearby residences — and allegedly had burglarized a third home.
The man, who lives at Murchie Mine and Red Ranch roads, called at about 7 a.m. to report a suspicious white Mustang parked for several days with a man and woman who had possibly been squatting at a residence.
Deputies responded and found a woman standing near the opened trunk of the Mustang and saw her putting things in the trunk, said Capt. Jeff Pettitt. She allegedly closed the trunk as soon as she saw the deputies, Pettitt said.
The woman, who identified herself as Heather Marie Hood, 35, told the deputies she was staying at a friend's house.
The Mustang was found to be registered to a man identified as Joshua David Packard, 31. Hood allegedly said Packard was at a house across the street, then admitted they had been squatting in the vacant residence.
Hood was found to have a local misdemeanor warrant, Pettitt said. After she was taken into custody, she was found to have the Mustang's keys, and the vehicle was then searched.
Deputies found computer equipment, china and candleholders in the trunk, and Hood had no explanation for why the objects were there, Pettitt said.
Packard was contacted by deputies as he came outside and allegedly admitted to squatting at that residence, as well as another house in the area.
Deputies learned of a residence that had recently been burglarized, and the owner was contacted, linking items missing from the residence to those found in the Mustang, Pettitt said.
Hood was arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary, criminal conspiracy, being in possession of stolen property, and trespassing, as well as the warrant. She also was charged with possessing drug paraphernalia and a controlled substance without a prescription. She was being held without bail.
Packard was arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary, criminal conspiracy, being in possession of stolen property and trespassing. He was being held in county jail in lieu of $50,750 bail.

Are you crazy?!?! That AK could have jumped off your shoulder, loaded itself, and shot an innocent person!!!
1/18/13 I walked in front of the Kansas City Missouri federal court house for thirty minutes today caring an AK-47 with 30 round mag.
This was set up by the KCMOPD. they contacted the federal police officers in advance. I parked a mile away and was driven to the court house by KCMOPD.
the police checked for no ammo and put yellow crime scene tape in the chamber. All four officers were oath keepers and 2nd amendment supporters.
could not have asked for a better outcome.

we had open carry guys here ( WI) legally walking into restaurants armed here an when the cops violated there rights they sued. They didn't ask for permission get a police escort an have crime scene tape on display. we had conciled carry about a year later IMO pushed by this .
Guys were doing this in Arizona an all it did was cause peole to push for no more open carry. I don't think it helped gun rights one bit.

But contemplating the band down the tube of 20 years, in the new DVD version of Tim Irwin's 2005 documentary We Jam Econo: The Story of The Minutemen (Plexifilm), we find that they've been telescoped into their true rarity and specialness. Even though they were all "bros," locals, graduates of the same high school in San Pedro, California, the coming together of D Boon, Mike Watt, and George Hurley could have been ordained only by the flukiest gods of chance: this was a one-off if ever there was one. Boon and Watt were shocked from a stupor of '70s innocence — trance-like repetitions of "Smoke on the Water" played in their bedrooms on out-of-tune guitars — by the early Hollywood punk bands; they roped in Hurley, smiling and surfer-strong, and the radical cell/comedy troupe was complete.
D Boon, huge and taut with his own mass, would prance across the stage, airy, unembarrassable, as if the only thing tethering him to earth were the chord plugged into his amp. Over his bass, Watt churned and blew, and Hurley didn't so much play his drums as taste them, drawing flavor from every surface. Punk rock had jetpacked them into a synæsthetic sound world where ideas had the same value as chords, where Reagan's policy in Central America could be related directly to the setting of your amp. "He had the worst shoes!" chuckles someone in Irwin's film of D Boon, who apparently would not be parted from a pair of ghastly gray loafers because they allied him with the common man. And from Nels Cline we learn that the separation of treble and bass in the Minutemen sound, the gulf between the brilliant scrape of D Boon's guitar and the bubbling underthrust of Watt-ness, was "a political decision," an attempt to establish "sovereign states" of noise. Can you imagine, say, Fall Out Boy thinking along these lines?

Now that the ISU website has finally updated the standings...two events, 15 pairs competed so far, and the chances of making the Grand Prix Finale. I believe this year pairs are not being assigned third events, so most of the series points will be in play, as in all the other events.
Skate America top four:
1. Aliona Savchenko & Robin Szolkowy-Very likely to win Trophee Eric Bombard and seal it.
2. Keuna McLaughlin & Rockne Brubaker-Both events done, 24 points, which puts them on the bubble. Though with less good pairs in general the same pairs tend to medal at events, making it easier to qualify with just silver and bronze.
3. Maria Mukhortova & Maxim Trankov-They would need to win Trophee Eric Bombard to seal it, which before Skate America would seem to be not happening, and even now isn't the likeliest of events. But even with a bad long they beat Duhamel & Buntin, their closest competition at this event, so more likely than not they'll take silver and then they'll probably be okay. If Duhamel & Buntin beat them, or possibly Vise & Trent thought they'd need to land the quad and hope, they're probably out.
4. Megan Duhamel & Craig Buntin-For a proper chance they would have to win Trophee Eric Bombard, and right now, things aren't looking easy even for the silver, though that might leave them with a chance still, due, again, to the same pairs tending to collect all the medals up. But then again, they'd have to win it first.
Skate Canada top four(excluding McLaughlin & Brubaker):
1. Yuko Kawaguchi & Alexander Smirnov-To seal it they need only medal at Cup of Russia, where they're up against the Zhangs and may also have to worry about Volshozhar & Morozov, but on home ice they can probably prevail over the latter, and the field is otherwise stuffed with junior pairs and Castile & Okolski, who might not make it and won't be at their best if they do. Extreme disaster would probably only knock them down to fourth, where they'd *still* have a chance.
2. Jessica Dubé & Bryce Davison-Would need to win NHK to seal it, which they might very well do; they're up against Pang & Tong, and that could go either way. The only other pair at NHK even remotely at their level is Inoue & Baldwin, so a clean skate will get them silver, which is very likely to be enough. Even a particularly bad skate would only lower them to bronze, which is still a fair shot; it would take a total meltdown to take them off the podium. Though thus if they were fourth, it's a safe bet their scores would end what chance they might have left.
4. Mylene Brodeur & John Mattatall-Would need to win Cup of China to have a chance, which isn't happening with both the big Chinese pairs there. Even silver's extremely unlikely. Ironically, they're not without a chance at bronze; their score at Skate Canada's only a little below what V&M scored on the Grand Prix last year, but that won't help.
Knocked out of the race but may mix things up for the other skaters:
Tiffany Vise & Derek Trent-Fifth at Skate Canada, may mix things up in Paris
Rena Inoue & John Baldwin-Fifth at Skate America, small chance at mixing things up in NHK(bigger chance of winning the bronze and this mixing nothing up whatsoever)
Brooke Castile & Benjamin Okolski-withdrew from Cup of China, may mix things up in Russia(but probably not)
Contenders yet to compete:
Dan & Hao Zhang
Qing Pang & Jian Tong
Tatiana Volosozhar & Stanislav Morozov

A professor of psychology, Eichenbaum directs the Cognitive Neurobiology Laboratory at Boston University and is known for his research on the hippocampus, an area of the brain that is believed to play a major role in learning and memory.
As the fifth in a series of SANA seminars, the program offers a collaborative interdisciplinary neuroscience initiative for doctoral students in neuroscience and related fields. The program offers complementary neuroscience-related courses at both institutions with faculty who serve as co-mentors with the goal to increase student participation. Approximately 70 students are enrolled in the UTSA-UTHSCSA combined doctoral neuroscience research programs.
"Participation in SANA is open to any doctoral student doing neuroscience-related research in a variety of disciplines including but not limited to biology, chemistry, psychology, engineering and kinesiology," said David Jaffe, SANA co-chair.

The Indiana Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Commission was formed by the General Assembly in 1974. As stated in its enabling legislation, the commission is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of an effective system of emergency medical services. This includes the necessary equipment, personnel and facilities to ensure that all emergency patients receive prompt and adequate medical care throughout the range of emergency conditions encountered.
The commission works to meet this mandate through the development of administrative codes and rules regulating Indiana's emergency medical services system as well as the provision of consultative services; promotion of training for emergency medical personnel; education of the public in first aid techniques; and coordination of emergency communications resources. The EMS Commission is also responsible for the regulation, inspection and certification of services, facilities and personnel engaged in the provision of emergency medical services. The commission must promulgate necessary administrative codes (rules) in order to fairly, equally and consistently regulate Indiana's prehospital emergency medical care system.
The EMS Commission is comprised of 13 individuals appointed by the Governor. Title 16, Chapter 31 of the Indiana Code specifies the following categories be represented: a volunteer fire department that provides ambulance service; a full-time municipal fire or police department that provides ambulance service; a nonprofit provider of emergency ambulance service organized on a volunteer basis other than a volunteer fire department; a provider of private ambulance services; a state-certified paramedic; a certified emergency medical technician; a registered nurse who works in an emergency department; a licensed physician who has primary interest, training, and experience in emergency medical services; a chief executive officer of a hospital that provides emergency ambulance service; and a member who is not affiliated with the provision of emergency medical services and who is tasked with representing the public at large.
The Emergency Medical Commission adopted the emergency rule concerning tactical emergency medicine at its meeting on June 7, 2013. The rule was effective on June 15 and may be viewed here: http://www.in.gov/legislative/iac/20130619-IR-836130238ERA.xml.pdf. The rule applies to both ALS and BLS providers who have personnel who engage in tactical emergency medical support.
The Indiana EMS Commission has formed an EMS Technical Advisory Committee in accordance with IC 16-31-2-10 which is based on technical expertise and competency in the specific area of emergency medical services (EMS). The purpose of the committee is to review specific topics assigned to the committee by the Indiana EMS Commission and return to the Commission recommendations on implementation and adoption of rules. The Committee shall consider both operational and educational matters relating to emergency medical services. The members appointed by the EMS Commission are subject to approval of the Governor.
In March 2009, Indiana University School of Medicine received funding from Health Resources and Services Administration to re-establish the Indiana Emergency Medical Services for Children (I-EMSC) program. Elizabeth Weinstein, a dual trained physician in emergency medicine and pediatrics, provides leadership to I-EMSC. Margo Knefelkamp serves as the program manager of this program. Visit the program's website below and follow it on Facebook and Twitter.

For the love of bees
Thanks for posting the pics Andrew. Those are almond petals on the ground it was about 80 degrees when that pic was taken.
The bees did very well in the almonds this year but it is over now and time to move on.
Great pictures Nick. You failed to mention though if you managed to gather it up. Most of the swarms that I see around here are about 1/4 that size.
Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Taken!
How in the world would you go about getting that swarm hived?
I would think that it is several swarms gathered in one place.
I wonder how many swarms it would take to make one that big and how many queens would bee in there?
What do you think?
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
We didn't catch it. Didn't try. It probably was more than one swarm. You would have needed several deeps to put it in and when we got to that side of the orchard we were out of boxes.
It is now part of the feral bee population in central California.
Wow, what a swarm...I have never seen one half that size. Thanks so much for sharing that picture. Do you think it is possible that it is maybe two swarms one on top of the other...

text: I'll preface this post by saying that I have still not been able to identify a way to start my own build thread, so as to have all of my truck whoas contained in a succinct package. If there is a way to do this, or I have posted incorrectly, please advise (sorry Mods, #newbie) Some brief background. I purchased a 2000 Chevy Silverado Z71 Ext Cab + Long Box with one previous owner and about 109K miles from a dealership in Northeastern Ohio. I've traveled a lot, but most of my upbringing and wrenching took place in Florida, where there is never any snow; and it is the most glorious ever. When I purchased this truck, it was just before winter, and I completed what I would consider to be a fairly thorough inspection. Though I saw some light rust underneath the cab and a few other spots, it didn't seem like a huge deal. That was in 2008. 3 years later, I went through what I can only describe as an equally terrifying and boneheaded experience. I got busy with school and work, and I started to neglect my truck. Not in the sense that I abused it, but in the sense that it became something to get me from point A to point B. I stopped wrenching, I stopped doing my own Oil changes; I was too busy (or so I told myself). After a while, I started to experience a funny brake pedal press, and decreased stopping responsiveness. This was accompanied with what I would explain as a "Operation" sounding (yes the board game) buzz and resistance to apply pressure, like all accessories or assistance to the brakes had been lost momentarily. At first, i thought pressure, but the fluid level did not change much. Then I thought pads/rotors etc, but a quick check did not leave me overly concerned. I drove the truck for about one more week, and it would only happen every now and then. The ambient temperature did seem to impact the frequency of the occurrence as well, it happened more when it was warmer out. The boneheaded part was continuing to drive it for another week without seeking the help of a mechanic. The terrifying part game by way of me driving downhill in rush hour traffic, in a 5000 lb truck, pressing the brake and feeling it go instantly to the floor; without decelerating the truck whatsoever. I downshifted. I applied the parking brake slowly, which also seemed to do little. After riding the shoulder, scrubbing some speed on a median curb, and jumping out in a non-crowded intersection and fred flinstone'ing my truck in to a snow bed; I sat out of breath on the tailgate waiting for a friend to pick me up feeling fortunate things did not turn out much worse. Rust had attacked the factory brake lines just behind the driver's side wheel well under the cab. Eventually, the pressure of the brake fluid ruptured the metal, and while I was driving down the highway, all of the fluid had leaked out without me knowing. The same rust had damaged/weakened my intermediate parking brake cable, which broke when applied. I paid a shop $2000 that I didn't have to replace all factory brake lines, as well as pads and rotors. I new it was a labor intensive job, and it was out of my league; I needed to have my truck back. I told myself it would allow me to keep the truck for a nice long period of time. I did the parking brake cable before the tow truck arrived. That was two years ago. Just this weekend, the same thing started to happen. The rust has gotten far worse, though I have not found any leaks in the brake lines again. The exposed portion of my parking brake is rusted, and it does not work as intended either. I have one week to devote some time to this (Spring Break), and I am trying to make sure I exhaust every option before sending it back to the shop. Any help or assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated. I'm not new to wrenching, but the new Water Pump last weekend is the most advanced I've gotten so far on this truck. The long term strategy is going to be to get the truck in the air, start pulling off rusty suspension components, and start either replacing them or covering them with a product like POR-15. It will get warm soon, and I'll be able to ride my motorcycle around while handling this. Synopsis/Questions: When applying the brakes, lack of pedal responsiveness (opposing force) + buzzing noise (ABS module?) + decreased stopping power is caused by = ??? Driving big trucks with no brakes is stupid and dangerous Rust is the worst ever Any other things I should be checking? Thanks

Olga, I think it is quite a bit more beautiful than Hardrock ... I am of course biased, but you should find out for yourself :) What is certain is that it is vastly harder than Hardrock - even if it was only half the distance. While lacking the overall altitude, it is steeper, and the trails are significantly more technical.ReplyDelete
Really the good news here is that you don't have to wait years and years to get into a breathtakingly beautiful and immensely hard race anymore - Europe has quite a few of them ...

'A comedy and a philosophy', Man and Superman is based on the Don Juan theme, and using all the elements from Mozart's Don Giovanni, Shaw reordered them so that Don Juan becomes the quarry instead of the huntsman.
Boasting an outstanding cast including Ralph Fiennes, Juliet Stevenson, Dame Judi Dench, John Wood, Nicholas Le Prevost, and Paul Merton, this release includes an exclusive interview with director Sir Peter Hall.

"A good time is guaranteed with this play"
A wonderful performance by the actors especially Ralph Fiennes. Such a great masterpiece. Highly recommended.
"Where's Judi?"
I simply expected more of Dame Judi- as she was given first billing in Audible's synopsis (in list of narrators).
Yes; the man was brilliant.
Opening scenes, I suppose. It does labor on toward the conclusion.

Trial for woman accused of killing new husband set for December
MISSOULA, Mont. - The trial for the Kalispell woman accused of pushing her new husband off a cliff in Glacier National Park has been set for December.
In a Missoula federal courtroom Tuesday, Judge Donald Molloy set the start of the trial for Jordan Linn Graham for December 9. Molloy said it falls within the time frame of a 'speedy trial,' which would expire December 13.
Graham is accused of pushing her husband of just eight days, Cody Lee Johnson, off a cliff in Glacier National Park in July. She pleaded not guilty to first and second degree murder as well as a third charge for allegedly lying to investigators.
Graham was not present in the courtroom Tuesday. Her attorneys Michael Donahoe and Any Nelson spoke on her behalf.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Zeno Baucus and Kris McLean asked Judge Molloy for additional time to prepare for the trial, asking for a February trial date. They told the court they are still receiving and reviewing witnesses and at this time have a list of possibly 60 witnesses. Molloy told them that number seems too large for the trial. Attorneys said they will likely be able to cut it down to a reasonable number.
If either party asks for a continuance and a later trial date Johnson's family will have to agree to the new date in writing to the court.
Any plea agreements in the case must be presented to the court by November 27.
Graham remains on house arrest at her parents' home in Kalispell.

Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
I recently had some lost distracted driver t-bone my beautiful 1983 eldorado and total it. It was a dream and only had 47,000 miles on it. As sad as it is I have to get over and get a new. The insurance is giving me a very low value for the car. I think it's worth far more, but I start school in 10 days and don't have time to fight it. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys could supply any opinions or thoughts on the 2 cars I have found close by. One is a 1993 eldorado with 117,000 miles for $3,950.00 and they other is a 2001 ETC with 123,000 for 4,800.00. I've done a carfax on the 2001 and it only had 2 owners and was serviced every year at the dealership. I haven't been able to check the other one. Which one do you guys think is a general best bet to last longer just based on those facts alone. Of course, when I go to check the vehicles I will run DTC codes and do some general inspection/test drive like checking for overheating, oil leaks, checking coolant tank and radiator for any signs of copper/stop-leak usage. Is there anything else I can do a general check on? I've been checking out the forums for a few months regarding the 83 I had. I got lot's of advice reading around old posts on the ht4100. I won't know what the codes mean exactly. Unfortunately, I only have the FSM for the 83.
Go with the 01, but have a blocket test performed in your presence and have the shocks/struts inspected. Have it inspected for oil leaks at the casehalves and oil pan. All of which are really expensive
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
Thanks, the 2001 is 3 hours away. I'll try and see if I can find someone local there that can perform those inspections. I've personally been leaning towards the 2001 and doing more research on it than the 1993.
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
no question - without hesitation - go for the 01 -
the 93 was the first year for the Northstar motor -
in 00 there were all sorts of improvements to the engine -
three hours away -
it might be worth looking into an independent inspection - at your expense -
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
I've seen the block test kits. Would it be worth getting one of those and performing the check or would it definitely be better to try and find a local guy to inspect it? Yeah, the 2001 seems like it would be great. Especially with the good service history. Any test I can do myself or any signs I can look for will definitely help out. The carfax says a dealership performed Brakes checks and Drivability/performance checked about a year ago and the oil/filter changed 7 months ago. It doesn't really say much of what was serviced, but in 2008 it looks like everything was checked out including the engine, Steering/suspension checked, Cooling system checked, Body electrical system checked, Tire condition and pressure checked. It looks like that was at around 86k miles.
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
first - lets clear something up -
carfax is one step from being totally useless -
the information carfax gets -
other than "public information" like registration and ownership -
is strictly done on a voluntary basis -
if the car had an accident -
and the bodyshop doing the work doesn't notify carfax -
carfax will have no record of the accident - and will report the car "accident free"
same with servicing the car -
if the dealer - or independent shop working on the car
doesn't report what was done to carfax -
there will be no record -
so - other than the number of owners - and dates of registrations
carfax is pretty much useless -
that being said - when I ran a shop - we did "independent used car inspections" for $60 -
and actually included that in the yellow pages ad -
I/we would spend up to an hour looking for problems -
my attitude was "I need to find SOMETHING wrong with this car -
that's what the customer is paying for"
the "good" used car dealers that had nothing to "hide" and didn't mind -
the local jipper joints hated us -
and often refused to let the potential buyer bring it in for the inspection -
because we found "everything" - well - almost everything -
call a few independent shops near where the car is -
tell them your situation - and ask if they will do a thorough inspection -
and how much they would charge -
remember - you get what you pay for -
you aren't looking for a FREE 5 minute inspection -
good luck
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
Thanks for the information and insight. This forum is full of excellent members and information.
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
'01 no discussion, but really make sure is worth the money, these cars are very expensive to maintain, not so expensive to buy. Well you had one so you know what I am talking about.
Forget about brake and tires, these are VERY small bills comparing with the bigger ones:
1. Suspension (struts ~$700 EACH!!!!!)
2. Engine HG (NOT COMMON as you hear about but VERY common in the cars for sale).
Oh yeah PULL THE CODES!
Basically you need to establish what is the reason the car is for sale. 90% of the used cars are for sale because there is a reason, how likely is to be so bored with the perfectly functional car you spent $50K 8-9 years ago to buy so you can trade it in for $1500 and spend another $50K on an new car? Also as a 2 owners car if the second owner had it for 1-2 years is about the time it got feed up on a bad deal and is passing the problems to some other sucker.
Also consider the fact that some (by that I mean MOST) parts were discontinued, so even if you have the $700 for a cat or the $400 for a filler neck pipe is not going to help you much.
I am not saying the car is bad or anything, just be very careful and don't assume anything.
Just so you have an idea, in the next weeks I will be $10000 (yes is 4 zeros) car expensed in the last 6 months. Do you think I would sell this car? On the other hand a friend of mine just sold his '97 STS he got 1 year ago. He spent less than $1000 in required repair (but used the cheapest stuff possible – including mixing oils of various types because $54 is too much for engine oil). These are typically the cars for sale.
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
I'll add one more vote for the '01. Is it a dealer or private sale?
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
private seller.
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
Ahh, in that case you can't negotiate the price as low, though the asking price is lower than book value anyway.
Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
Yeah, the 1993 is at a dealer and it looks like on cargurus.com they've had it for awhile and lowered the price before. However, I have still been leaning toward the 2001. The 83 was the second year for the HT4100 that always gets a bad rap for aluminum heads/cast-iron block. I was taking care of it and never had any issues. Ran better than any car I've ever had. I've just been reading caddydave2001's OP about some serious issues he was having with the suspension after recently changing it. I'll definitely have to get those inspected the right way. I can't find a list of the codes anywhere. Of course, that was the case with the 83 as well. Had to track down the FSM.

Re: Total Loss Looking for opinions on 93 vs 01 eldos
The '01, for sure.
The only way I would even consider a '93 is if it had 40K with a light scent of Ben Gay.

Liverpool Street station is my favourite London station. OK, it's the London station that I travel into most often so that may have something to do with it, but it's always got a kind of nice atmosphere that some other large London stations don't have.
There are loads of places to grab something to eat or drink from before you have to get your train - McDonalds, Burger King, Millies, Upper Crust, Wasabi, Pasty shop etc as well as a pub.
If you want to shop there is practically a whole shopping centre to shop in - Boots, Lush, Thorntons, M&S, WH Smiths, Accessorize, Claire's Accessories, Paperchase to list just a few!
There's also a gym, a walk-in centre where you can see a GP during the week and a hairdressers! Not bad eh?
The toilets at this station are very nice and clean and there is a lot of them which means no queues. They also have dyson airblade hand driers which as anyone has used them knows are the BEST hand-driers there are! You can also navigate the barriers outside the toilets well even with luggage which is always good!
There is a taxi rank next to platform 10 and also outside McDonalds.
If you venture outside of the station, you're in the heart of London's financial district.
Trains from Liverpool Street run to East Anglia so Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire is covered if you want to go further afield!
Whenever I hear Liverpool Street Station mentioned it brings back very fond memories for me. As a young girl I would travel up to Liverpool Street Station with my parents for an exciting day at Madama Tussuads or the Natural History Museum or a night in London to see the Christmas Lights in Oxford Street with the huge shops all being open till late at night.
Then when I reached 15 I started my first job in the City of London in a Stockbrokers and used to commute to Liverpool Street everyday to work. I loved the hustle bustle of the Station life. Not so good when trains were running late after a hard day at work, but still a great atmosphere to soak up.
Liverpool Street Station was first built in 1874 by the Lucas Brothers and the roof was designed and built by Fairburn Engineering Company (who also built the Royal Albert Hall Roof as well!). Now I have a small hold to fame as my Grandad was once a roofer on the stations famous roof. I believe this to have been around the 1940's and I have some photo's of him actually on it working. So whenever I went under the dark gloomy roof of the station as you approached the platforms I always used to think I wonder which part he had worked on, unfortunately I never got the chance to ask him as he died and I didn't find this out until afterwards ( we should all try and find out more about our families while they are still alive to pass on to our children as I was only 9 years old when he died I didn't really know alot about him!).
After travelling back and forth to the station over many years, I then stopped working to have my family so I didn't get back up to Liverpool Street Station until earlier this year to go and see the show "We Will Rock You".Well I was really excited about going to see the show, but I was really really excited about going back up to Liverpool Street ( how sad am I!).
I had seen it briefly on the great commercial on TV for T-Moblie, where they got lots of people to mill around the Station (dressed as commuters so they looked normal!) then at 11 0'clock on the 16th January 2009 they it all started with just a few at a time starting to dance to loud music starting of with a Lulu classic, then gradually more and more people joined in much to the bemused people around them, with it ending up with great old sing song!.
Now when I went up to London it was in March and WOW! how it had changed since I was last there. It has a most amazing concourse that goes around the top of the Station with 3 staircases the lead you down to the lower platforms. The shops up here are all glass fronted with the usual Macdonalds, Burger Kings plus a few specialised foodie shops. You will also find WH Smiths here as well as a Marks & Spencers Food Shop ( which was handy on the way home at night as I was starving so I could grab a sarnie for on the train!). All of the shops are not very big but have a good selection of different items to buy.
Now I wanted to use the loo's so after hunting these out I went in only to find that it costs 20p a go what happened to "Spending a Penny" inflactuation I suppose!. This station is very bright with so much glass it just seems so friendly and clean. The staff were very helpful as well, as we hadn't been up there for some time we needed to know where to get our train back and what times they were. They didn't hesitate to stop what they were doing and help us 5 out of 5 for service. They do have a lot of staff about as they have 18 platforms to tend to with the constant flow of passengers going in and out of the station.
Around 123 million people use this station a year to get to Norwich, Kings Lynn, and a whole lot of different places around the Essex area, they even have a boat train that goes to Harwich.I beleive that there is also a train service between this station and Stansted Airport known as The Stansted Express. When arriving at Liverpool Street Station you then are then met with the Underground system that takes you all over London. This consists of the Central, Circle, Hammersmith, Metropolitan & City Lines. So whether you want to go to Hyde Park, Marble Arch,
Tottenham Court Road or South Kensington these are easily accessible.
On leaving the station you will find a large Taxi Rank as well as a very good Red Double Decker Bus service going in many directions throughout London.
Lastly I cannot forget to mention the Whetherspoons Pub that is in the Station, this is known as Hamilton Hall, being built within the ballroom of the Great Western Hotel. It is said to be named after the Lord Claud Hamilton chairman of the Great Eastern Company 1893-1923 which originally built this station.
So If I had my way I could quite easily go to Liverpool Street Station and spend the day there not trainspotting, just people watching and generally watching life pass by. I Love This Station!!!
5 stars for a really bubbly, friendly, rushing, exciting place to visit!!!
I travel via Liverpool Street daily and although I see it everyday whenever I see a picture I forget the station I know and remember the organised chaos of the whole station singing 'Never gonna give you up' by Rick Astley, is it the spirit of East Londoners, Essex people and East Anglians or was it Facebook groups, who knows but for me it kind of sums the station up, chaotic, generally due to one train delay or another, full of incredibly interesting people, its such a great place to sit and watch people wander by wondering are they tramps or off for a night in shoreditch, are they businessmen or simply drinkers dressed up in suits, its a paradise of random people.
Anyway the station has two WH Smiths, a Wetherspoons which is huge, a M&S foodshop, Mcdonalds and Burger King.
Trains depart to Stansted Airport every hour, trains go to Southend, through essex, via East London, to Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, Tubes are the District/Circle line and Central Line, all are regular and quite efficient.
Overall the station has a place in my heart and its a paradox of busy people and crazy looking folk. Head east, its the new Central.
This is my first attempt at reviewing an actual building, but its one I visit regularlly, so here goes! Liverpool Street station is one of only a few stations owned and run by Railtrack itself, this enables them to focus on providing a great service at this station. The station serves East Anglia, with trains ariving from cities such as Norwich, and Ipswich, as well as the Colchester line and Standsted Express service. The four train operators using this station are Anglia Railways (runs between Norwich and London) First Great Eastern (Ipswich, Clacton and Harwich to London) WAGN and the Standstard Express. The station was first built in 1872, and if you look up, you can still see the original design in the archways on the ceiling. Over 72 million people use this station every year, and despite this, the station still has an airy feel about it. The shops are well out of the way a second level which runs around the station, so all the stations ground floor is used for either platforms, ticket offices, or infomation desks. Its a short walk from the platforms to the underground station, althouh with just one escalator down to the underground platforms for the central line, and over a bridge for the circle line, its a great interchange. The infomation is provided well at this station, with huge boards spanning across the ceiling, and huge blue signs to guide you in the right direction. To me this station is only second to London Paddingdon, which I find to be alot easier and friendly to use (maybe thats because they have a music shop!) Next time your passing through Liverpool Street station, just take a look up and see the archetechture that goes into the building!
Located right in the heart of London's bustling financial district, Liverpool Street Station really should serve as something of a wake-up call to some of London's other mainline rail termini, it certainly puts Kings Cross/St.Pancras to shame (although Paddington is now much better, it seems to have been redeveloped to a similar model) The station always seems to have an air of calm about it, but at the same time a hustle and bustle in all the shops and in the waiting areas...I've never to experience it at 5pm on a Friday night though - that's probably a different matter altogether. The good points:- - Large, open station: means the atmosphere doesn't get too claustrophobic. - Ridiculously clean. - Good selection of shops, restaurants etc, from the usual station gang: Burger King, Costa etc. Bishopsgate complex close by for further shopping. - Well signposted; easy access to Underground (unlike at St.Pancras, which involves numerous walks down urine-scented tunnels) The bad points:- - No litter bins! (to my knowledge, anyway!) I understand there's the whole terrorism issue to take into consideration, but surely even one litter bin with a CCTV camera monitoring it isn't too much trouble. - Toilets too diificult to find. And why do all London rail stations take pleasure in charging 20p for the right to use toilet facilities? Nice place generally though. Few people visit train stations by choice, but Liverpool Street certainly looks after its Commuter masses working in the City nicely.
Liverpool Street is located to the east of the City of London and serves the major parts of East Anglia including Cambridge, Norwich and Ipswich. When visiting it now in all its white marble splendour it is hard to imagine that it was not always like this. Years ago in 1983 when doing my industrial training year as part of my degree, I visited Liverpool Street and took many photographs. In those days, it was very dark and dirty. Just look at it now. The Station itself has a long waiting area and if you look up – you can see a rectangular perimeter of shops, which can be accessed up a double staircase. There are numerous vendors including a fruit and veg store in the entrance to the tube station. Liverpool Street station is well served by tube lines. It is located on the Central, Metropolitan, and Circle lines. Turning right out of the station is Bishopsgate where there are many new and excitingly designed office blocks. There is a Tesco Metro opposite, which seems to do a roaring sandwich trade. In fact this area of the City is bustling and wealthy. A wander down to Aldgate via Petticoat Lane shows a different story. Here you will find old-fashioned bagel shops in a Jewish quarter. This is the start of the East end. Liverpool Street is a transformed station which represents the confidence and affluence of the area in which it lies.
Funny, I really rather like Liverpool Street Station; perhaps because I use it more for underground and waiting for buses outside than for mainline trains. There is quite an extraordinary vista as one descends the steps/escalator from Bishopsgate during rush hour - people en masse; yet strangely (until you join them!) it doesn't seem too overcrowded or stifling - perhaps because of the very airy conversion job done several years ago from the old station. There are restaurants and bars in the upper area - not all of them unduly expensive - and the usual array of fast food outlets in the lower concourse. But only just outside the station there is a small but useful shopping centre - and landscaped areas among the big business boys towards Moorgate. Cross the road (Bishopsgate) and you are into Petticoat Lane market - always bustling. Trains - forget 'em; just stay around the station

This article originally appeared in the November 28, 1997 issueof the Boston Phoenix.
Since its electrifying debut nearly two decades ago, the Alien franchise remains the sci-fi vehicle most conducive to provocative ideas, hardboiled edginess, sheer excitement, and auteurist elan. Even David Fincher's dreary, much maligned Alien 3 (1992) posed disturbing thoughts on subjects ranging from abortion to the nature of identity and the meaning of human existence. That film's poor showing, however, seemed to finish the series even as it killed off its heroine, Sigourney Weaver's redoubtable Ripley.
Through the miracle of cloning -- both the pseudo-scientific and the Hollywood high-concept kind -- Ripley and the big ugly bugs are back. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, half the directing team behind the saucy, surrealist French fantasies Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children, Alien Resurrection is not so much a rebirth as a reconfiguration. Lacking the taut terror of Ridley Scott's original and the overwhelming banzai assault of James Cameron's follow-up, this edition gets by on an attitude of sardonic misanthropy and elbow-nudging reflexivity. That and Jeunet's puckish, fractured-fairy-tale sensibility and whimsically chthonic set design -- the latter inspired by sources as disparate as Francis Bacon canvases and the Fruit of the Loom TV commercials.
The plot is absurd, inconsistent, and filled with longueurs of menaced humans wandering endlessly through corridors and over catwalks; and its inventiveness is limited by borrowings from nearly every successful science-fiction thriller since Alien's first inception. Still, Resurrection manages an unsettling, engaging identity of its own. Much credit is due to Weaver, who has reinvented her role. Two centuries after she sacrificed herself to save the human race in Alien 3, she has been brought back to life by military scientists on a remote space station who have tinkered a trace of her DNA into a clone. Their goal is to extract the alien queen in her womb and exploit its lethal potential. Ripley herself, though, proves of interest also, as the alien characteristics seem to have fused with her humanity a la The Fly. She has astounding strength, regenerative powers, a mean way with a basketball, and a witty cynicism about the human race worthy of Jonathan Swift. With relish she informs her warders that the queen "will breed. You will die." Her tone suggests that she doesn't think this is such a bad idea.
Her predictions are fulfilled in predictably messy fashion, but they're complicated by the arrival of a crew of Han Solo-like renegade traders on a dilapidated merchant ship. Among them is Call (a pouty Winona Ryder), an overalled waif on a Terminator-like mission to do Ripley in before she comes to term. Failing that, Call forms a nervous alliance with Ropley, and together with Call's motley shipmates -- the crudely macho Johner (Ron Perlman), the fancy-shooting Christy (Gary Dourdan), the gnomelike, wheelchair-bound Vriess (Dominique Pinon) -- they band together for survival.
The familiar game of who gets it (and when, and how) and who doesn't ensues, with a few surprises. What is surprising is the sense that it doesn't really matter. Like the other three films, this Alien is infused with a profound nihilism, a resignation to cruel fatality, and a recognition -- more capriciously suggested in Starship Troopers -- that the most alien of creatures could not compete with what's at the core of our own psyches.
