Every once in a while, you hear whispers or rumors about specially-crafted, targeted malware designed to steal a specific piece of data from a particular victim. The data thieves, in these limited cases, tend to be clever, thoughtful, and methodical in both the creation and deployment of their creations.
Rarely do malware researchers encounter these files. But it does happen occasionally, and I thought I had stumbled upon one of these kinds of spies a few weeks ago. It's a peculiar Trojan horse which has been written not as a standard Windows application, but as an ObjectARX application — an application which can only run if you have AutoCAD, the engineering and design program from AutoDesk, installed on your PC.
Now, why do you suppose a malware author would write a Trojan that can only run on computers with AutoCAD; a Trojan that is so well designed that it prevents antivirus applications from running, and downloads specific, tailored updates for itself, depending on which version of AutoCAD the victim has on his or her PC?
Sounds a lot like a slick tool for corporate espionage, right? Well, not quite. Fark: It's just another stupid adware client. We're calling this dumb gimmick Trojan-Pigrig.
Here's how it works: A small stub application (which runs under Windows) scans the registry to determine if you have AutoCAD installed, and if so, which version. Once it makes that determination, it then contacts a server based in China and pulls down code customized to work with one of the following releases of AutoCAD: 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, or 2009. The files are loaded into AutoCAD's initialization scripts so the next time the application is launched, the Trojan loads right along with it.
Once it's been executed once in AutoCAD, the game is afoot, and the Trojan makes a number of system modifications: It downloads more payloads, and copies three files with .dat extensions to a folder it creates on the top level of any other connected hard drive, named Recycled — note that this isn't the same thing as the "RECYCLER" folder on each drive, which is the Windows Recycle Bin.
Clearly, the spy doesn't expect that you'll have a non-writable drive attached to your system. This is the error message that appears when it attempts to copy itself to my CD-ROM drive.
It also loads two DLLs — one runs as a service, the other as a Browser Helper Object. The latter refers to itself as "Quickflash" and acts as the actual adware client; the former hijacks registry keys used by a legitimate (though rarely used) Windows service called the RIP Listener. The adware triggers itself to activate when any of the following URLs are loaded into the browser.
Pigrig calls this service "Remote IPRIP Service" and describes it as "Listener reads Remote Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets." Whatever. In reality, it acts as a download client, copies the payloads to other drives, and stands guard for the rest of the components: If it detects any application tampering with the files or registry keys used to load it or other parts of the malware, it immediately shuts down the system without warning.
The malware isn't well detected by other vendors, which isn't surprising since it requires significant amounts of manual research to tease it out into the open. And even though it's just an adware client, it's a pernicious beast and takes a few sweeps to remove. With this one, be sure to keep your Communications Shield active: We're blocking all the domains the spy uses to download its components, and so far this protection appears to be the spy's Achilles' heel.

After data collection was completed, any remaining incomplete or inconsistent information was imputed during the final content edit of the collected data. Imputations, or computer assignments of acceptable codes in place of unacceptable entries or blanks, were needed most often when an entry for a given item was missing or when the information reported for a person or housing unit on that item was inconsistent with other information for that same person or housing unit. As in other surveys and previous censuses, the general procedure for changing unacceptable entries was to allocate an entry for a person or housing unit that was consistent with entries for persons or housing units with similar characteristics. Imputing acceptable values in place of blanks or unacceptable entries enhances the usefulness of the data.
|Excerpt from:
|Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2006 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
|ACS 2006-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Vehicles Available
The data on vehicles available were obtained from Housing Question 12 in the 2006 American Community Survey. The question was asked at occupied housing units. These data show the number of passenger cars, vans, and pickup or panel trucks of one-ton capacity or less kept at home and available for the use of household members. Vehicles rented or leased for one month or more, company vehicles, and police and government vehicles are included if kept at home and used for non-business purposes. Dismantled or immobile vehicles are excluded. Vehicles kept at home but used only for business purposes also are excluded.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey question provided a space for the respondent to enter the number of vehicles. Since 1999, the American Community Survey question provided pre-coded response categories.

Getting a stern lecture on political decorum from the likes of me would be similar to being scolded by Hannibal Lecter for indulging in cannibalism. Both reprimands would carry a strong odor of hypocrisy.
Although, that scent might not be as obnoxious if the lessons were served with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
The fact is that, as with the fictional Lecter's predilection for dining on human flesh, I enjoy candidates and elected officials who misbehave in public. Without them, I'd have to do actual investigative work, such as trying to stay awake during a Libby Mitchell press conference or figuring out who's spent more time in Maine in recent years — Eliot Cutler or Hurricane Earl.
By that (admittedly low) standard, last week was about as much fun as I could possibly have without the use of illegal chemical stimulants.
It began modestly enough. The Kennebec Journal reported that Democratic legislative candidate Michael "Mick" Devin of Newcastle had put out a press release announcing that he'd be campaigning on a unicycle. "The unicycle is a great ice breaker," Devin is quoted as saying. "People open up quickly and want to discuss issues they feel are important."
Such as where to get good deals on clown shoes, flowers that squirt water, and red rubber noses.
Devin is running (unicycling?) against Republican state Representative Jonathan McKane in House District 51. I haven't done a lick of research on that race, but, for some reason, I'm sensing an easy McKane victory. Even if he's unable to campaign because he's been devoured by cannibals.
The tendency toward unnecessarily making a fool of oneself gained momentum when several news outlets ran stories about Portland City Councilor Dan (The Nuclear Bomb) Skolnik's latest dispute with his fellow council members. Skolnik released a bunch of e-mails that he said showed his colleagues were engaged in a massive conspiracy to ignore him. Also, some of them thought he was crazy. And — imagine this — they've accused him of having anger-management issues, just because he called one of them a "spectacular dunce."
Skolnik had previously announced he would not seek re-election when his term as a district councilor expires later this year. But now, he claims he's running for an at-large seat as a write-in candidate. He might even win if he convinces the city clerk to add all votes for "Daffy Duck" to his tally.
Skolnik is a liberal Democrat, and gubernatorial candidate Paul LePage is a conservative Republican, but they both agree on one thing: When in doubt, go with the wackiest campaign tactics you can think of. In LePage's case, this involves immersing himself in the school of political discourse called irrational blundering tirades.
On September 13, LePage scheduled a series of events to announce his plan to reform state government by allowing businesses to do whatever the hell they want (including cloning Dan Skolnik) for a single $5 fee. At his first stop in Bangor, he got a question he should have anticipated and had a ready answer for:
Had his wife, Ann, invited Hannibal Lecter to her Florida home for dinner?
Oops, sorry. He was actually asked about Ann's receiving property-tax rebates in both Florida and Maine at the same time, even though those states limit such rebates to residents.

How I Broke Up With a Friend
Your guy may be bummed that his relationship is out in the real world of peers and teachers, or he may want to show his friends that he has more loyalty to them than you. Stay cool in the hallways, but call him out on it when you're alone. If his split personality doesn't stop, you may need to re-evaluate the relationship. You shouldn't be doing all the work!
Ignoring the rumor will only make your friends think the worst. If everyone's talking about your major make out session, acknowledge that it happened but was no biggie. When you take the drama out of it, you leave no room for people to say stuff behind your back. Just remember to destroy the proof: Facebook photos will give the gossips more to talk about!

Allapattah is a neighborhood partly in the city of Miami, Florida, and partly in an adjacent unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County which is a predominantly Spanish neighborhood (specifically Dominican). The area is northwest of downtown, and about five miles east of Miami International Airport. Cubans began moving into the neighborhood in the 1960s. In the 1980s there was an influx of Dominicans,Nicaraguans and later Haitians. It was then that the area began to become the mix that it is today. Now, residents from all across the Caribbean and Latin America reside in the area of Allapattah.

What a crazy week for The Arsenal. It's really hard to put into words how I truly feel as my thinking is a bit frozen, in shock, by the recent run of results. Although I guess "shock" captures it best.
Yes, both matches were going to be difficult, but to concede six and deliver zero is not Arsenal. Something was missing. We all have our opinions as to what it is. I do (listen to last week's Pod). It's all an opinion, but the bottom line is there are a multitude of plays and decisions that give a result. Not just one. I mean that's what I believe.
Can you imagine how the team feels? How the manager feels? They must be as puzzled, disappointed and angry as the rest of us. And they'll be wanting a win this weekend against Spurs.
We all know the weekend will once again bring about a pressure game. We all want a result, but that's what we want EVERY weekend. That means you're competing for the top. Competing for something meaningful. It means you're doing something right.
And to read about and see the anger on supporters faces is beautiful. It means we're all alive. Wanting to win. Wanting The Arsenal to win.

The apartment is in a very good location - walking distance to most places including good cafes, restaurants, bakeries, little supermarket and the metro and 28 tram stop !
It was clean and well equipped and the bed was big and comfortable.
Some cosmetic updates are needed - in the bathroom and bedroom, the stained walls and missing tiles let down the otherwise very pleasing and modern appearance of the space - but I'm sure Miguel will see to these when he is less busy.
I would recommend this place as a good value and pleasant place to stay in Lisbon.
Apartment in a good area but overall with many flaws.
Humidity a bit obvious to all parties (the wall of the bedroom and in particular in the bathroom).
The bathroom, in particular, does not have a good ventilation system and this in some cases is very obvious, with the bad smell that is formed.
In general, the apartment would be great but needs a refresh.
PSVolevo to point out to the owner that the shuttle service Airport / apartment (with his brother's car) to 25 Euro seems excessive to say the least, when the taxi takes 10 Euro.
Nice appartement in the heart of Bairro Alto. Full and even nicer furnished, enough space for 2 people or more. Huge bed, size 160cm x 200.
We had a wonderful stay at Miguel's apartment. It is practical, well furnished and the location is absolutely brilliant. We walked everywhere, except when we visited Belem:)
The bed was extremely comfortable and if you need to catch up on your sleep just close the window shutter all the way down - this makes the bedroom pitch black - we slept till 10.30 on our first day thinking it was only around 7am, bliss!
Amazing stay in Lisbon. Check-in without problems, the same like the check-out. Apartment very nice, tidy and I felt like at home. Close to the Undergroundstation (500m) a lot of Restaurants and Bars arround. Only thing you should keep in mind: it is a aparment without a view over Lisbon. Its more italian like in a small street, but with a very nice atmosphere.
Thanks too Miguel very nice guy we enjoyed our stay in Lisbon the appartment is super in a very cool area i would go back again, i recommend that place to everybody.Thank you
Miguel welcomed me to his lovely apartment that is situated right in the centre of Bairro Alto where dozens and dozens of fab restaurants are virtually on the doorstep. Miguel recomended two that I went to and they were excellent. The apartment was perfect for a one week visit. Thank you Miguel.
A cute apartment, offering great comfort with all amenities necessary, nestled amongst the winding streets of Bairro Alto (which is ranked No.12 on TripAdvisor among 184 attractions in Lisbon!) Great bars, restaurants and public transport all in walking distance. Highly recommendable and would definitely stay here again! Thanks Miguel
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohlgefühlt. Sie ist geschmackvoll und praktisch eingerichtet (Ikeastil), gepflegt und sauber. Das Schlafzimmer mit dem Dachfenster ist etwas eng aber gemütlich. Den oberen Mieter haben wir gehen gehört, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Das Viertel ist für junge Ausgehwillige bestens geeignet. Verkehrstechnisch ist die Wohnung mit der 28er Staßenbahn gut zu erreichen, allerdings ist zu bedenken, dass man immer bergauf und -ab gehen und gut zu Fuß sein muss (was in Lissabon insgesamt von großem Vorteil ist). Miguel ist ein sehr guter zuverlässiger Gastgeber und kümmert sich sehr gut. Lissabon ist eine romantische, relaxte Stadt. Wir kommen sicher mal wieder.

A turret. It's mounted. You spawn it and press E on it to use it.
I started this awhile ago, but never really finished it, so I figure I'd release what's done so far instead of letting it rot on my hard drive.
The script is in working order. It's a STool that lets you spawn a turret, and choose things like its model, bullet tracer and muzzle effects, and explosive bullets and stuff. The effects sometimes break unless you do effects_reload in the console, because I didn't know how to use CreateMaterial at the time I made this.
No pics because I don't care if you download it or not. It's just a gun sitting on an upside-down electrical plug.

Jamie Oliver/Homebase gas BBQ
I've just taken delivery of a Jamie Oliver branded Gas BBQ sold by Homebase.
I was disappointed to find out that it uses the lava rock system rather than a hooded burner. In my experience lava rock means bad flame-ups if using anything fatty.
Has anyone on the forum used this product? I'm thinking of sending it straight back un-opened

Re: Jamie Oliver/Homebase gas BBQ
Hi Steve,
I don't know this particular BBQ but I've used both types you describe and I'm pretty sure the reaction is the same if you try to cook fatty food (chicken wings and drumsticks). My current BBQ has hooded burners and I still suffered flare-ups, so...what I always use now is one of those disposable aluminium trays you find in the BBQ dept. Except I use them over and over again. All they do is collect the fat that comes out of the meat stopping it from dripping and spattering over the burners/rocks. I recently grilled for 50 people and didn't suffer a single flare-up...
I've just replaced the aluminum trays with a 18"x12" iron grill pan from Australia. I forget the make but it was reduced from AUD220 to AUD80...it's absolutely brilliant and save me loads of time cleaning the BBQ
There are some real BBQ aces here and they may advise otherwise...good luck

Re: Jamie Oliver/Homebase gas BBQ
I have an Outback Trooper with Lava Rocks, no problems at all - our neighbours have a similar one and they always have serious problems. In the UK, I've seen people trying to cook very fatty things over a BBQ and they will always get a flare up.
It all comes down to knowing what to cook and how to cook it. If it's burgers, sausages or fatty cuts of meat or chicken then you are pretty much guaranteed a flare up. Usually because the heat is too high so the fat melts and flares up.
As an experiment, buy one of those expensive Birds Eye Steak Burgers and cook it in a Griddle Pan over a normal hob - you'll be shocked just how much fat comes off of it. Our butcher makes his own burgers (we're not in the UK) and they are practically all meat with only a little fat - they cook way better.
Lean cuts of meat will cook easier without a flare up, though again, not too high on the heat as they will dry out.

Re: Jamie Oliver/Homebase gas BBQ
welcome to the forum steveb9rb
I thought that mst gas BBQ's use lava rock as they spread the heat .
Yes you do get a few minor flare ups if you cook fatty thngs but this could also happen with crarcoal as well , in my eperence it is not unusual to get the odd flash of flame as you BBQ things and the fat drips from the food that is being cooked.
Ths happens even if you are cooking n charcoal that is white hot and ash coated.
I keep turning meats as they cook and this seems to help a little.
Our butcher also makes his own burgers and sausages and we are in the UK . they also have little fat but to be honest it is rare that I cook burgers if we are having a BBQ.
I dont use a BBQ tray hen cooking on the BBQ as we cook directly on the BBQ racks.
We have a small gas BBQ and also a lovely little St Lucia coal pot , I last got the gas BBQ out f the shed on Christmas Eve last year to blacken the red peppers to make some soup !
We have not had much of a summer here, plenty of rain and little sun .
So there has not been much BBQing done.
I also have a majmar clay pot that the tagine sits on , this gets filled with charcoal that I light in a similar way o the coal pot , I cook with the tagine in the garden also.

Re: Jamie Oliver/Homebase gas BBQ
Once the coals have gone white I rake a pile up on one side which means you have much more control over cooking temps and if anything starts causing flare ups I simply move it to section with no coals underneath... problem solved!

Dear SteveB9RB
I wouldnt take the BBQ back . Thats what BBq do when there is fat or oils in the meats, fish chicken etc .
Gas , coal fire or gas with the lava rocks they all make flames or flare ups when oil or fat from the meat drips on the flames. Also even if you have very lean meat sometimes people might have olive oil or bastings on the meats that drip off into the flames and is ignited by the flame or coals in the bbq.
Trust you still enjoying your BBQ and decided to not take it back . You just cant beat BBQ food. I did some BBq cooking on Friday night again in 2degrees C .

Re: Jamie Oliver/Homebase gas BBQ
welcome to the forum ildi.berry
I think you would have to go stright to the manufacturer to obtain the spare parts that you need.
Do you still have the instruction manual or sheet thet came with the BBQ ?
If you dont you can usually find one via a google search , that should give you some details as to where to get spares from.
Sorry I am of not much help.

In the bigger TBH's you are at least going to get some honey to harvest. But they will still be swarm prone I've seen TBH's swarm even when the whole thing is not full, they just didn't want to move so far away from the brood nest sideways.
In the bigger TBH's you are at least going to get some honey to harvest. But they will still be swarm prone I've seen TBH's swarm even when the whole thing is not full, they just didn't want to move so far away from the brood nest sideways.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
I still disagree about TBH being swarm prone in general. Small boxes yes, but if you put a swarm in a shallow they won't be staying long either. Put a swarm in a ten frame lang box with a super, leave it alone, and if they survive, they will more than likely swarm. I think some people get into top bars thinking they will put a hive in the garden and collect honey, but the instinct of the bees isn't to setup shop and never leave. If they get strong and they are not split they will swarm, just like a lang. My dad has gotten several swarms from a man that overwinters his bees in a single deep and in the spring they swarm like clockwork.
I've seen a feral hive in a ceiling void that was 16 inches wide and about 6 inches deep. They want back a long ways, probably close to four feet in that void. The honey combs in the back were probably at least 2 inches thick. Did they swarm yearly? More than likely, since there was no intervention.
I've given up on TBH's but this link https://www.box.com/shared/hkefz3qcic is to a the top bar hive I built. Much bigger than the standard bush model. I don't like the design because the bees seem to swarm relentlessly, they eat a huge quantity of honey in the winter and the combs were so large they tended to break off, but for whatever its worth ....
Did you have any issues with the sides bowing being made from plywood? I like the idea of the escape on the follower board. Solves the problem with the bees behind the follower board.
I just looked at your escape board for your Warre. What are the little red cones from?
Shannon you disagree about TBH's being swarm prone, and cite the fallacies of "anecdotal evidence", after which you go on to try to prove your point, with anecdotal evidence. Which was something about one beehive in a roof somewhere, and your anecdotal belief that bees in a lang will swarm anyway.
Of course bees in a lang will swarm if not given enough room plus other manipulations that langs make possible, for the same reason that any healthy TBH will swarm. But langs are expandable and with skill, swarming can be prevented.
I am not just blowing off some anecdotal evidence. I started beekeeping full time aged 16, working for an outfit with 4,000 hives. We used good swarm control techniques, which I won't go into they are another thread, and hardly ever lost a swarm. That was more than 40 years ago. Although my work with thousands of hives for many years was not a scientific study, I think there were enough hive numbers to make my observations more than anecdotal.
Certainly more than somebodies observation of one hive somewhere in a roof. What breed were they? What was the flow pattern? Do you know why they did whatever they did? No? then it's anecdotal evidence at it's best.
Again I'm not saying all this to knock TBH's. To keep bees properly it's best to have understanding, not see it through a rosy colored view that came from a book, that did not portray the full picture. My friends TBH's do well, if I help them manage them. Cos when I see something happening like the bees thinking about swarming, and sort that, the owner is going to get his honey harvest. But to pretend TBH's don't swarm much, is to ignore reality, at your own cost.
The thread was started by a guy who has a problem with his hive regularly swarming. He came here and asked about it. If he cannot get a full answer because of dogma, what's the point of having the forum?

"Thinking Inside The Box"
i wasn't trying to prove anything with anecdotal evidence, just pointing out that bees will build quite large hives in the roofs or between floors. Not that it is perfect, just that it happens. And these can grow large, and then they swarm, as there is no one to split them to prevent a swarm. And the same thing happens in Langs all the time. Odfrank talks about his mastery of swarm catching. He claims that it is mostly first year beeks. My guess is most of them run Langs.
Not saying TBHs don't swarm. But so do every other hive. That is nature of the insect. You can manage to it, but if you don't they will fly. If you want to put something in your backyard that just gives you honey and never swarms, purchase a few cases of honey.
I don't personally think I have a rosy view on TBHs. if you want honey, don't get a TBH, get Langs. If you want to be commercial, run Langs (yes, I know there are some commercial pollinators that run TBHs, but they are not running thousands of hives. ). You will have much more help in the way of people that also run them, you can "borrow" a frame of brood when necessary, you can purchase stuff for them from a store, etc, etc.
My point was not that the best hive or configuration was to have your hives in rafter space, just pointing out that it is possible to have a hive that isn't painted white and isn't the shape of a cube that could grow quite large, and it doesn't need you or me to manage. On the other hand, I'm quite sure that hive had been there a long time and it had probably at least a swarm a year, since no one was managing it.
I'm not a Pollyanna, and I don't think TBHs, are going to save the bees, let alone the world.
Wow guys take it easy. It sounds like it could be a little small for my area as Tom suggest it always happens when we have a good flow they just back filled and left. This time i stayed on top of it adding bars to broods nest they built a lot of comb but did not back fill everything before they left. i still have the first swarm that left put her in a lang and they are doing great they have filled one super full of caped honey and almost filled another.I have no idea what kind of bees i have. I caught them in my swarm traps. It seams like I might try to make it a little bigger maybe add a eight frame lang to the front end and have the best of all worlds. It,s a shame i really like my top bar.Well thanks for all the help guys.
You may want to PM Tomas. I haven't seen a post in a bit, but he may have good info on tropical TBHs. Hate to see you go the Frankenhive route, it is the worst of both worlds. You can't work the top bars easy because of the Lang on top, and you don't get the full advantage of a Lang.
Didn't have any trouble with the plywood. The roof keeps the sides nicely sheltered. Have two sitting unused that are both still in great shape. I love (loved) the design, strong simple joints, stable legs, relatively cheap. The end pieces are a little complicated but the trick is to mark a straight line down the middle and measure everything from that one line. But but but wasn't at all happy with them
The cones can be purchased from Dadant (http://www.dadant.com/catalog/produc...roducts_id=481) I've seen folks make them from screen as well.
Thanks for the reply back. I have some of the screen escapes, I thought maybe you found some ad hoc device to do the trick. I'm rather cheap.
Sorry to hear about you TBH problems. I'm surprised that you had collapsed comb, your depth doesn't seem extreme, and your bars are not that wide either. Was it in full sun?
In an effort to cause more uproar, have you considered the Warre's? Same top bar advantages (simplicity, clean wax, variable cell size, cheap, cheap and of course cheap), but with the ability to do some Lang type manipulations (adding boxes, splitting hives, etc.). I really like it and the bees don't seem to miss my supervision.
It wasn't so much that the combs were too big. It was just that I didn't open up the hives often enough. Everything gets glued together pretty quick, then gets torn up when you're inspecting. The Warre's are better fit for me. I take honey in the fall and leave them alone for the rest of the year.
Gotcha. TBH's take more management and way more than Warre, that seem to require very little intervention. Did you use package bees for your Warre, a swarm or did you cut out from the TBH? I would like to have a Warre just to have one.
is it bad if they do swarm? I'm not interested is producing sellable ammounts of honey or splitting and having a million hives I just think bees are cool and look forward to the benifits in my garden I live in a rural area and shouldn't have any problems with neighbors.
In your case no, since you are not breeding pest, you are breeding feral colonies! I would recommend that if you are not going to manage for swarms that you place a swarm trap or two near your property during prime swarming season. While you may not be interested in the swarms, someone else may purchase them from you.
Mcartney Taylor has a PDF, swarm traps and bait hives. Google it and you can find it. It pretty much covers what you need to know, and you can read it in probably an hour or two. If you know were the hives are and they are easy to get at you could do a trap out and pull some bees off. You probably won't get the queen, but you could pull off a start and purchase a queen for under $30.
You may want to check out the swarms, cutouts and trap out forums.
I have been lurking there. My plan is to buy a package for 1 hive and trap a swarm for the other. MIGHT decide to have one more just in case I do decide to split. For what it's worth. I'm pretty sure my ferrell colonies are swarms that took off from a fairly new beekeeper about a mile down the road they are big fat ( what appear to be Italian bees) and appear very docile.

After a stop at Letterfrack to have lunch in a pub on the terrace, we reached Diamond Hill which is located quite close to this village. Diamond Hill, in the heat of the Connemara National Park, is part of the Twelve Bens assembly line. There are dedicated footpath to reach the top of the mountain (445 meters) and from there, the panorama on all the Connemara is incredible. You can see all the sea and mountains gorgeous landscapes… You can even sight Kylemore Abbey
You will be impressed by the ground in Connemara: because of the water, it's a real sponge. During the walk, some kinds of wooden pontoon were built when the ground is not practicable to avoid people to sink.
During my stay in Ireland, I have been 3 times to Connemara, and the weather was always sunny…very lucky!!

Re: brownie make me sad :'(
Yep, sounds like your oven... had the same problem with mine. When I checked it with a termometer I found out that impartial of which temperature I put it on it first heats up to over 200°C (!) and only then reduced down to the desired warmth, which is death to any fragile cake or cooky recipe ...

Re: brownie make me sad :'(
I made these on the weekend, turned out perfectly,
Espresso Brownies
1 cup butter, cut into pieces
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
2-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup instant espresso powder
1/4 cup coffee-flavored liqueur
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 recipe Chocolate Glaze (see recipe below)
Chocolate-covered coffee beans (optional)
1. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Grease foil; set pan aside. Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Cool mixture to room temperature.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat eggs, sugar, espresso powder, coffee liqueur, and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in cooled chocolate mixture. Add flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
3. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes until top appears set and dry. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Pour Chocolate Glaze evenly over brownies. Cover and chill about 2 hours until glaze is set.
4. Before serving, let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Use foil to lift brownies out of pan. Cut into bars. If desired, garnish with chocolate-covered coffee beans. Makes 48 brownies.
To Tote: Cover and transport in baking pan. (Or cut into bars and place in a single layer in a shallow container.)
Chocolate Glaze: In a medium saucepan combine 6 ounces coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate, 1/4 cup butter, and 2 tablespoons milk. Cook and stir over low heat until melted and smooth.

Re: brownie make me sad :'(
Brownies should not be really runny. Maybe they needed a little more time in the oven. (As not all ovens are the same that's possible even if you did follow the recipe minutely)
Some things you bake are still soft when they come out of the oven and harden as they cool, but again "runny" is not a good sign with brownies. See if it sets (has set). If it did, cut them and see if they might not be ok after all.
A good way to test these things right when the cake or the brownies come out of the oven is to stick a wooden skewer into the middle and see if it comes out clean. If it doesn't bake some more.

Re: brownie make me sad :'(
We have a dodgy oven too (we rent and it comes with the house so we're stuck with it). We bought an oven thermometer for about £3 in a kitchen shop - and have now worked out what the dial should say compared to the actual temp in the oven (we were about 30 degrees out !!!)

Try this recipe next time and trust me you wont be dissapointed My avatar is of the said brownies
Chocolate Brownies
200 grams butter
200 grams plain chocolate
600 grams caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs -- large
250 grams plain flour
4 tablespoons cocoa
Preheat oven to 180C, Gas 4
Prepare a small rectangular roasting tin or oven proof dish approximately 8 x 12" (20 x 30cm). Grease or line with baking paper
Melt the butter and chocolate over a pan of simmering water. Cool slightly.
Stir in the sugar and vanilla.
Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until well blended each time.
Sift the flour and cocoa together, add to the mixture and beat for about 1 minute, until smooth.
Pour into prepared tin, and bake for about 35 - 45 minutes. The mixture needs to be just cooked, so start testing with a cocktail stick at about 35 minutes - it should have moist crumbs, but not wet batter, still clinging to it.
Cool in tin until cool enough to handle, then cut into pieces, but leave until completely cold before removing from tin.
I cut this size into 24 pieces (8 x 3), but it could easily make more smaller pieces as it is very rich.
Use the best quality plain chocolate you can find, I always use 70 - 75%

This would be true for cakes, but not for brownies as you want moist crumbs sticking to it, if its clean I'm afraid to say you have overbaked
Cocktail stick test
Clean = Overdone
Moist Crumb = Perfect
Wet Batter = 5 more mins needed

Sear Spring 1911
this cylinder and slide reduced spring is supposed to lower your trigger pull by 1 1/2 lbs.
now i tried one. i didn't get 1 1/2 lbs shaved off i got less than a half pound.
my triggers were at 4lbs to begin with. i think this spring might give better results on a stock set up.
notice it got glowing reviews. it costs only $1 more than the excellent wilson combat spring. for $6.99 your certainly not risking a lot of bread , worth a try. i would try the S&W hammer first.

Mute Math, Against Me!, and Cold War Kids turned out spirited opening sets, with CWK making shout-outs to the Middle East (the club, not the war zone), and trying out a new song that sounded like an attempt at In Rainbows–era Radiohead, replete with lilting falsetto from head Kid Nathan Willett. But Spoon, whose Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (Merge) is one of my favorite albums of the year, were the main draw. Although they've been around more than a dozen years, their stock has risen sharply since Ga Ga came out, in July. Back in April I saw them at the MFA's 400-ish-capacity Remis Auditorium, which frontman Britt Daniel told me was their first time headlining a seated venue. Eight months later — with a big club show at the Roxy in the meantime — they had some 2000 people transfixed for the entirety of a 13-song set that drew exclusively from their last three albums. The band — supplemented by a three-piece horn section, which was absent at their previous Boston shows — treaded between the precision of their MFA performance and the sloppiness of the Roxy show. Every tambourine jingle and piano chord were dead-on and discernible, but Daniel, whose hair had an Alfalfa cowlick thing going on, was all over the place, yelping and shrieking and stabbing at his guitar. At one point he got on his knees and summoned an ungodly rasp from his semi-hollowbody Gibson, like he was playing the biggest show of his life.

My wife says I have ADD, but, hey look- a chicken!
I can't imagine how one would do this. How do you trap them, in a vacant hive baited with honey? How do you get them to stay? The hive they were combined with would have to be some distance from their home hive, and obviously would also have to be some distance from the hive they were robbing.
Interesting idea. I look forward to seeing the response to this.
Instead of figuring out a way to trap robber bees, the beekeeping community would rather you spend your time coming up with a way to eliminate varroa mites. Now that would be productive. John
You're looking to steal someone else's bees?
I have tried it with somewhat mixed results. I don't think it's worth it.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
This part of the bee keeping community thinks you should try if you like & bees are only your when they are in your hive.
Good luck
not sure how- figured I'd post it. I guess it is a little bit controversial. But many things can be.
My wife says I have ADD, but, hey look- a chicken!
Well, that's exactly the thought that I had this summer, except instead of honey or syrup to attract them, what I was doing is using my heat gun on cappings in my wax melter when the sun was gone. After about 20 seconds of running the gun and perfuming the air with the smell of melting wax/cacoons/honey I had around 200 bees homing in on me. Bee espace would have worked beautifully, but I never tried it. I guess the issues are that you are getting half-life bees, that might be deseased.
Or end up trapping many of your own bees that were attracted as well.
I have a variation of the question....
I had a situation that resulted in an attempt at a late season split, well two....
The original hive has found the two week splits and are ravaging them.
The one split is out of stores now. I was angry when I came home and found they had found the second split and were robbing from it. I blocked them in.... I'm hoping that the robbers become loyal to this new little colony.....
What are the odds they will just kill off the Queen and try to get home?

Un apartamento muy acogedor situado en un lugar inmejorable para disfrutar de Central Park. Muy bien comunicado para visitar la ciudad, tiene tiendas cerca y la anfitriona es muy amable y atenta.
We really enjoyed our stay at Summer's apt. She is a great host who made us feel like home, and add to that excellent tips on getting around in the city. Comfortable and clean apt. Nice view on Central Park and well located near transit system. We'll recommend to our family and friends.
It was my wife's first time in NYC and after looking through numerous places, we decided on staying at Summer's other place (called Sabrina's place)....and boy are we glad we did !! We had such a perfect experience and wonderful time !! Something we will cherish and remember for the rest of our lives. Our host was very welcoming and respectful. She would always make us feel at home and would greet us in the morning with her beautiful smile...and a nice cup of coffee whenever we felt like it.
The apartment is in the PERFECT PLACE: right across the street from Central Park (calmer and less noisy), 2 minutes walk from the subway (train), seconds from bus stops, minutes walking from numerous restaurants (you HAVE TO try our host's breakfast recommendations: "Le Pain Quotidien"...supremely delicious and even healthier organic food...WOW !!!)
Apartment is clean, beautiful and cozy. And the bed, wow the bed...well it is ROYALLY comfortable!!! Absolutely guarantees a good night sleep.
I mean, if your are not happy with Summer's place , I wonder what would !!
Soooooo deserving of all the praise and comments !!
Thank you sooo much for everything. We will never forget how beautiful a time we had.
Highest regards
Marc-André and Marie-France
We really enjoyed our stay at Summers place!
Thank you very much for the nice talks and delicious coffee in the morning ;-)
We had an amazing time. The location is really perfect, on the edge of Central Park, the subwaystation closeby and also some nice restaurants in the neighborhood.
Summer can tell you all about NYC, especially where to shop :-)
Last but not least....Chet Baker in the morning!!
We took some beautiful memories with us back to Holland!

We enjoyed our stay in Summer's place. The apartment is beautiful, cozy and neat. It is very well located in upper Manhattan right in front Central Park. It is very easy to get around because the subway and bus stations are near. Our host was awesome, supportive and caring with us. She made us feel as if we were at home. Of course, we would love to return.
We had a really great time at this apartment! We were a little confused in the first place that we had to share the bathroom with 2 other travelers and the host BUT her lovely, nice & helping personality totally changed our former insecurity. Our room was neat & beautifully furnished, just as the rest of the apartment. I would totally recommend this room to anyone who wants to have a pleasant stay in New York City with a host, who gives you all the advice you need to have a great time in the city that never sleeps :)
My partner and I stayed here in the beginning of September for a week. The weather was gorgeous really nice and sunny every day apart from one day when it rained but it was still quite warm. It is easily located and close by to 2 subway stations. You can either travel up to the Bronx or to downtown Manhattan or to Brooklyn.
It would roughly take 10 minutes on a number 2 to Times Square and you can get a 1 and 3 to Soho and that will take roughly 25 minutes.
The apartment is facing Central Park with lovely views. The apartment is modern spacious and tidy. We got our own room and shared the bathroom.
The host was fantastic, really warm and inviting. She made us feel at immediately at home. She was full of recommendations and advice on places to go and things to see.
I would highly recommend staying here and if we are ever to go back I would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for an amazing trip.
Outstanding location with buses at the door and the subway a short "walk in the park", staying with a New Yorker gave an extra dimension to our stay.
Our host was great and so inclusive, you felt a part of the family , She knew the little details a traveler needs before you asked, so her arrangements and recommendations helped get the most out of every day.
Living with the community on 5th Ave, at Central Park with all the food, music, people, the museums and the excitement of Harlem just up the road, leads to an unforgettable stay, not to mention the easy access to everything else NYC has to offer, Thanks PJ. It' s been a privilege to meet and stay with you.

I was posting in another thread when something occurred to me....
I know this will ruffle feathers but this thread doesn't specify skill positions and if you are going to talk about the "best ever" offensive players then you at least have to recognize that we have had some of the best Offensive lineman ever come through our doors.
The guy who immediately comes to mind is Rosey Brown. He was before most people here day(including mine) but he was a game changing tackle way ahead of his day. He blocked for a couple of the players mentioned in this thread: Gifford and YA Tittle.
So while I think the OP mean to ask about skilled positions on offense, but since he didn't I have to bring up Rosey as he was the best of his day at his position. Its hard to say that about any other player mentioned in this thread.
As Good as Tiki was, he wasn't the best of his day as long as Fault and Tomlinson played. Simms and Eli couldn't be called the best of their day either. Gifford trailed by miles behind Perry and Jim Brown in his day. But Rosey? He was the best player at his position in the league for several years. At least in my opinion
I had forgotten this but in 1999 Sporting news did a top 100 players of all time. Roosevelt Brown was the NYGs highest ranked offensive player at 57. Its not proof, just evidence that he should be in this conversation.
Last edited by BlueSanta; 05-01-2014 at 04:07 AM.
I honestly believe if Tiki started a bit sooner then he did and was used more often as a RB his first yr or 2 , he'd of broke tons of NFL record. He had best there ever was type talent. Could do it all. I think it'd be harder choosing who was 2nd best offensive player on Giants you ever seen, rather then 1st, as 1st is easily Tiki Barbers..
he was unbelievable .... he was light years ahead of O linemen at the time as far as athletic ability
he would get out in front of a back blocking downfield take out 3 of 4 potential tacklers in his path while outrunning the back ...... he was literally faster that the backs..... literally .... straight up in a foot race he would have beat Tucker Frederickson, Ernie Wheelwright, Frank Gifford, Phil King, Alex Webster , by a mile....and probably even Del Shofner
linemen weren't as big as they are today back then so Rosey looked enormous at 6'4 255 (estimating... don't know exactly) ... basically the size of todays LBs
he was a natural born gifted athlete and to my young eyes up in the stands looked like Superman
If you were around to see Rosey play, then great, but that's why nobody is saying him.
An offensive lineman ranked that high from a bye gone era should convey to the less seasoned crowd here, how dominant and ahead of his time RB actually was.
I wish I saw him in person.
No one remembers who came in second.

Am so happy you're posting again!ReplyDelete
My co-worker just sent me the list yesterday. Have you ever been to Rolf's (#10 on the list) before? The Christmas decor looks amazing! I am excited to check out some of the Queens locations as well. City Bakery hot chocolate is delicious, but I usually can only drink their shot size (with a marshmallow, of course!).ReplyDelete
So that pumpkin pie... waaaaaay expensive but the claim is legit. Best I've had. I've asked my mother-in-law to try and figure out how I can make a similar graham cracker crust that doesn't just get soggy when you fill it with the pumpkin pie filling, because I've tried and it's impossible! Theirs is super thick, but STILL! It's the best. YUMMMMMM... Cute photos! xoxoReplyDeleteReplies

"Liquor Jacket" refers to the phenomenon of not being able to feel cold while drunk. The term is synonymous with "Beer Jacket", but has a much nicer ring to it.
I hate walking through this frozen college town on the way to parties... Good thing I have my liquor jacket on.

When you are outside in the cold without a coat but you are so drunk you feel warm.

CHFI v3 Courseware/Study Guide
The courseware does not show up on their standard website, you'll need to go directly to their order page at 2 Checkout, located here.
In addition, the Official CHFI Study Guide has finally been published (month-after-month of being pushed back) and will include v3 objectives. This can be purchased directly from Syngress/Elsevier, or you can order it on Amazon for a little cheaper.
Having had the chance to see/read previous version of CEH and ECSA, and then also reading the newer versions, I'm sure that we're likely to see quite an improvement in the material presented in v3 of CHFI.
Happy studying!

Three major botanical institutions, The Morton Arboretum, the Field Museum of Natural History, and the Chicago Botanic Garden, have developed the online, searchable database vPlants ("virtual Plants") that provides free plant specimen data and digital images of specimens to anyone with internet access. The project began in January 2001.
Users can search data from 80,000 plant specimens from the greater Chicago Region, which are housed in the herbaria of each of the partner institutions. In addition to the collection data, there are digital images for almost 50,000 of the specimens available for viewing from the website. We are now in the process of adding about 12,000 fungus specimen records. By adding specimens from new partner institutions we will expand the total to over 120,000 records. New features of the site include descriptive information about the vascular plants and fungi of the Chicago Region. This project is a first step towards building a larger online database for plants and fungi that occur in the Great Lakes area and beyond.
Specimen Pages
Information from specimen labels entered at the three institutions is transferred, using XML, into a single web-searchable database at the vPlants portal. This allows each institution to keep their data in any format they wish and then export XML text for the vPlants system.
The data, provided by collectors on specimen labels, are very useful and yet are rarely available for viewing or searching by the public or even other scientists. Two key pieces of collection information that are recorded in our database include locality and habitat data. Archiving the location where the plant or fungus grew (locality) will allow us to generate electronic maps of historical and present distributions of plant and fungal taxa in the Chicago Region. Likewise, the habitat data provide users with information about the ecology of the species. Trends and changes through time in the natural communities of the Chicago Region can be examined using this information.
Aside from label text, we also capture high-resolution digital images of the specimens so that users can examine the details of flowers, leaves, or fruits using standard Web-browser software from their home or office. This convenience allows scientists and other herbarium users to view specimens without traveling to each institution or requesting specimen loans.
Species Description Pages
We are continuing to write species description pages for the website. Rather than provide details about a single specimen, these pages present information about a species, subspecies, or variety that exists in the Chicago Region. Page writers compile descriptive data in databases at the three institutions, then export the descriptions as XML files to the vPlants portal where the XML is combined with database queries to generate live description pages.
Users can learn about the plant and fungal diversity of the area from these new pages. We have included visual appearance, details about similar species, habitat and ecology data, etymology of the scientific names, and photographs. The county distribution data are based on our specimen collections. As with the specimen pages, users will be able to browse or search by family, genus, species, or common name.
When complete, there will be pages for about 3,000 vascular plant taxa and 1,000 fungal taxa. In the future we hope to add the technology of online visual keys or guides to aid users with identification of a particular plant or fungus found in the Chicago Region.

At the Center of the Action in Midtown
St Giles Hotel New York - The Court • New York, NY
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Courtyard King Room
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two in an Executive Suite
- Breakfast for Two
With the brightest lights, the busiest streets, and some of the best shopping, dining, and entertainment you'll ever see, New York City can seem like the center of the universe. If your recent getaways have been middling at best, gravitate toward this Escape to the St Giles Hotel New York - The Court in Midtown Manhattan.
From the moment you pull up in front of the St Giles Hotel in the shadow of the Chrysler Building, you'll know you've arrived. Gaze up at the hotel's colorful facade on the corner of 39th Street and Lexington Avenue as the sounds of midtown fill your ears. The din will recede as you pass through the revolving doors into the posh lobby.
Inside, chic chambers are outfitted with sleek, minimalist furniture in a palette of chocolate, rouge, and cream. In addition to nine-foot ceilings, guests will enjoy flat-screen TVs, high-speed Internet access, and spa quality bath products.
Just two blocks from your hotel is famous Fifth Avenue. "Between Central Park and Rockefeller Center, this commercial strip is the El Dorado of shopping," says Lonely Planet. "Here, fabled jewelers like Tiffany & Co. and Cartier hold court, alongside the gilded department stores of Bergdorf Goodman and Henri Bendel. Even if you left your Amex black card at home, it's worth going to see the artfully designed window displays, which change seasonally and get more spectacular each year."
When cocktail hour rolls around, drop off your loot at the room and pull up a seat (or a plush ottoman) at the trendy Court Bar, where an expert mixologist will happily pour you a tequila flight or signature cocktail. Stay put to savor light bites at the bar, or nab a coveted reservation at any of the celebrated restaurants in the neighborhood for a quintessential night on the town.
After sleeping in the next morning, you can make time for a quick workout at the state-of-the-art fitness center or grab a classic breakfast at the hotel's Icon Restaurant before heading out for another taste of the Big Apple. Make sure your itinerary includes a stroll down the tree-lined paths winding through Central Park—the perfect way to end an Escape that, despite its Midtown location, is hardly middle of the road.
"Exceptional service in a modern, boutique-style atmosphere. We had a spacious room with an outstanding view. The location is great—a 15-minute walk or $5 cab ride to Times Square. Great bath products, robes in the room, and all the little extras."-- TripAdvisor

Dump Oak Grove "flip flopper" Councilman Campbell
Original post made by frank, Pleasanton Heights, on Apr 29, 2008
What happened to the rest of us who support Oak Grove and all of those who put years of effort in to come up with the present plan? Let the legislature fix any problems with state election law, Mr. Campbell. How do we in Pleasanton benefit from this appeal?
Mr. Campbell appears to be ill-suited in his official role as a councilman and it would be better to dump him at the next election and get someone with backbone to represent the general population of Pleasanton. That's what we vote them in office for, not to flip flop to please minorities.

on Apr 30, 2008 at 10:30 am
LOL! A bit late in the evening when you wrote that? Maybe PW can provide editing services.
I'm for "flip-flopping" by Councilmembers when factual evidence and research presented to them shows that an opposition's side is more beneficial to the larger community (such as how Sullivan voted on the Stoneridge Drive extension). Though "flip-flopping" done in the name of trying to appease both sides isn't too cool. He's trying to please all of the people, all of the time and in doing so is going to please no one. That's always been Sullivan's style. I understand he's trying to find compromise and bring people together that way, but as a leadership style it makes him appear really weak and ineffective. I'm not sure he realizes this.
a resident of Pleasanton Heights
on Apr 30, 2008 at 12:54 pm
My apologies to Mr. Campbell. Of course, I mean Mr. Matt Sullivan. In the past I've been known to make this interchange after Mr. Campbell left the council. Perhaps the editors can make the appropriate correction to the headline since it is misleading.

Ya gotta love it!!! When he supports your position - he's the greatest thing since popcorn. Let him "flip", for whatever reason, and under the bus he goes. What type "democracy" would that be??? Get the clipboards ready, I see a "recall" on the horizon!!!! Let's be sure we have all the necessary documents!!! :)

Sorry Frank, but we don't rewrite posts although we monitor Town Square to remove or partially delete inappropriate comments. You can always let this one fade out and start a new one with a similar comment about Councilman Sullivan, if you choose. This town is filled with many good "Matts" so it's easy to mix them up once in a while. BTW: Former Councilman Matt Campbell, who always earned good marks both as a civics teacher at Amador Valley High and during his all-too-brief four-year stint on the City Council, is now a Vice Principal at Foothill High, lives in Danville, has a family and doesn't miss those late night council meetings and all of the homework that goes with them one bit.

Not sure what point you're making. Is your response directed at my comments?
a resident of Oak Hill
on May 2, 2008 at 3:39 am
Nope, not directed at your comments.
It seems that while Councilman Sullivan was supporting OG, to some, he was a "Prince among men" but since he "flipped"(on the appeal)he's no longer trustworth to those same "some", so there's a call to get rid of him. I find that amusing.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on May 2, 2008 at 7:55 am
OK. Just wasn't sure. I've always held the same opinion of Mr. Sullivan's leadership style. The way he votes is actually somewhat predictable, as is McGovern's. I didn't vote for him.
a resident of Country Fair
on May 2, 2008 at 8:04 pm
I think it is commendable what Matt did in this vote. It shows he has integrity. Matt acknowledged that 5,000 people signed a petition and even though those petitioning disagreed with his vote, he thought they should be allowed a voice in an election on this item. A majority of the Council stated that they voted for this project and they did not want the residents to be able to second guess them. Matt has been consistent in the voices of the individuals before he was on the Council and he has stayed true to it. Whether Matt thought that the election code was clear and stated that the petitioners had to carry a copy of the ordinance, which they did, or that they carried what the officials at the City gave them and it turned out to be wrong, he felt that those collecting signatures did it in an honest intent. Even though he did not agree with the petition, he supported their rights and was willing to have the decision overturned if that is what the residents wanted. It seems the others, now that they are in power, no longer believe in the voice of the residents. That is a shame.

Are you sure you watched the same meeting I did? No one on the Council said they didn't want residents to second guess them.

It was pretty clear what the vote was going to be, and Matt Sullivan knew there was a very good chance he would be casting a minority vote. For me, that is different than a swing vote and I am not ready to "throw him under the bus" and I am not hearing (except from Frank) that others are either. His position, though I disagree with it, is a fair one to take. How do any of us really know what indirect impacts the court's decision will precipitate?
Although the paper and a few individuals (Ayala loyalists) say "other cities are watching" (sounds a bit like dubya and his "the terrorists are watching/listening"), where are all of these interested watchdogs?
IMHO, Sullivan and Hosterman stuck their necks out as bona-fide environmentalists to support Oak Grove as rigorously as they have. They realized it was a time to compromise and found some real benefits for the City in the open space and trails. Sullivan just has an extreme propensity to re-open an issue whenever a neighborhood or other faction gets his attention. For that, perhaps he loses some support?

text: I received a call today from a lady that wanted me to do a cutout at one of her rental properties. The house is in Woodland, CA, which is about 2 hours south of me and I don't think it is worth my time to do it. If you live close to Woodland and are interested, let me know and I'll give you her contact information. Based on what she has told me, it seems like a fairly large hive.
