text: Does anyone know what the weight rating is for tailgate cables for full size Chevy trucks? I've read the manufacturer will not rate them due to liability issues. I've also read of cables failing when loading heavy objects such as motorcycles, ATV, and lawn tractors. Is there any after market cables that are stronger than the factory ones? Is there any other way of assuring the cables won't fail during critical loading times? I have thought of fabricating a 2X8 of the proper length from the ground to the tailgate in order to take some of the stress off of the cables. Anyone have any ideas on this?????

Re: How to cook fish?
It all depends on the type of fish. Something delicate like sole will suit different treatments to a more meaty fish, such as swordfish; got any favourites or things you'd like to try?

Re: How to cook fish?
With just about any fish you cant go wrong with butter,lemon & parsley, it might be boring but Im not sure I really like overly seasoned & spiced fish with complicated sauces... i love the simplicity of it.

I always do Fish once per week and find the best thing you can do is fry it for 30 seconds on the skin side, wrap it in Tin foil with butter, Lemon, Sea Salt and Pepper. Pop in the over for 20 minutes.
A simple butter and lemon sauce or a little bit of sundried tomatoe pesto is wonderful.
Hate to quote certain celeb chef's but the best thing with fish is to "keep it simple"

Re: How to cook fish?
Definately! My dad is a pescitarian (sp?) so my mum is always cooking fish... and more often then not she will cook it really simply:
olive oil
herbs: thyme/ rosemary/ parsley
and thats it! yesterday we had some lovely pieces of pollock, which i put in a large roasting tray, drizzled with olive oil, S+P, lemon slices, thyme sprigs and some asparagus, then shook it all together and roasted. delicious!

Re: How to cook fish?
Going back tot he first post, it is always cool to consider the texture of the fish you are working with....
Denser fish like Tuna, Swordfish and the such can be treated almost like red meat/steak. They take well to broiling, and not overcooking, and work with just about any marinade or flavoring you can think of. I love Tuna steak, grilled on the bbq, with a lemon, ginger soy mixture, then flaked over a salad or zuccinni, eggplant and peppers.
Flakier fish, like sole, cod or halibut, whitefish, can be lightly panfried with butter, lemon and dill, or other herbs and spices. you can also wrap them in foil and cook them with your favorite flavorings, but it will not take much to overpower the flavor of the fish....
Salmon, is probably the most versatile fish out there. You can poach it in lemon water, and make a nice hoallndaise or bearnaise for it...BBQ with garlic butter...stuff it with crumbs and mushrooms with onion, I have seen it wrapped in Saran, and thrown into the dishwasher for a cycle stuffed full of herbs and lemon slices.
Thnk of fish as a palatte...that you add flavor ro to enhance, not overpower....
If it is REALLY fishy smelling and tasting..the fish is not fresh...

Excellent, safe and very beautiful apartment right in front of the Copacabana beach with a wonderful view of the beach and the sea.
Tuti, the owner, is a very charming and caring lady, speaking several languages doing everything to make your stay very special.
One can not ask for more. Highly recommended!
The views are awesome and the apartment was clean and very spacious. Sidonia was the fantastic host making my stay in Rio very special. Obrigado Brazil!
Sidonia's apartment is fantastic with an amazing view, well located in the centre of Copacobana, spacious and near transport. Sidonia was an excellent hostess with great historical knowledge of Rio and Brasil, good ideas about what to see and helpful in every way.. We highly recommend staying at this apartment.
Sharyn and Gary
The view and the condo look much nicer than the pictures. This is a very nice condo . We had an ocean view from the pillow. Tuti, the owner was very helpful and gives a very nice tour.
Tuti is the best that could ever happen to me in Rio. Her place belongs to the most beautifull spots of Copacabana, but the most important is Tuti herself. Her hospitality is enormous, she made it possible that i could have a dinner with 20 persons in her apartment. Her only concern is to make you feel comfortable. Her house is yours. Tuti thanks again, yours Lauk
If there is a place with a magnificent view of Copacabana beach, it is Sidonia`s place. Also, very confortable and excellent attention provided by the hostess, Ms. Sidonia. I will be happy to return in the future.
Me and my freind really enjoyed our stay by Sidonia. She is very nice and helpful. The room is big, very comfortable and from the window of the room you have a panaromic view over Copacabana beach. Very recommemded !
I had a great stay in the wonderful room at copacabama beach. Nice room and a great welcome. I felt at home there. The hostess was so great in giving me all kind of information about good places to eat or buses to take, etc.
I have to say that my experience was excellent. The place cannot be better, in the middle of Copacabana with gorgeous views to the beach and the sea. The room is spacious, well furnished with a modern bathroom. The area is safe (considering the Rio standards) and the building is guarded 24/7. But undoubtedly the best is the host, well educated, considered, affable, cultivated,… a very nice person. Truly recommendable.

Want to live in a quieter home? Read this article for some great ideas on how to tone down the hubbub both inside and outside your house. From noisy plumbing to raucous neighbors, we'll show you how to create the peace and quiet we all want in our homes.
The continuous, tight bead of caulk on the side of the window blocks noise, while the uncaulked lower edge lets sound enter unabated.
Because of its greater mass, the poured concrete lower wall is less prone to vibrate and will block more sound than the lightweight upper wall—even when insulated.
The small cork or rubber pad helps isolate the vibration of the washing machine (right), while the dryer leg resting directly on the floor passes vibration (and noise) on.
Diminish noise levels using a variety of techniques, including sealing off airborne sound paths, adding mass to walls and isolating sounds generated via the plumbing and heating systems.
Noise is simply airborne vibration. What we perceive as noise traveling "through" a wall or other object is actually sound waves causing the wall to vibrate, then this vibrating wall making the air on its other side vibrate. Regardless of how it travels, noise reaches its final destination— our ears—as airborne sound. That's what ears are, vibration receivers. Since noise travels primarily through air, the best way to block it is to put something in its path. To be most effective at blocking sound, the material needs three qualities. It should be gapless (Fig. B), since sound will sneak through even the smallest cracks and holes. It should have a lot of mass (Fig. C), so it's less prone to vibrate and pass noisy vibrations on to its other side. And last, it should help isolate sound (Fig. D) so vibrations aren't directly passed on from one object or place to another. There are a few other facts (and misconceptions) about noise that are important to understand.
The concepts are pretty simple. But things start getting complicated when we apply these ideas to our houses.
Noise travels easily through gaps, cracks and lightweight building materials that lack mass. The homeowner on the left, with brick siding, snug-fitting storm windows, a well-caulked exterior and other sound-blocking measures, will wake up better rested and a lot less crabby than the guy on the right.
In a whimsical 1970s tune,"One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor," songwriter Paul Simon bemoaned the noisy fate of apartment dwellers. But even those of us who live in houses can relate to the gist of the song; the world around us is noisy!
When Ray next door practices his duck calls at 7 a.m. or your teenager practices her bassoon solo at 11 p.m. or a jumbo 757 takes off over your house at dawn, you'd just as soon hear the sounds of silence.
Here we'll explain the basics of noise transmission, plus give you some ideas on how to make your home quieter.
Taking things to an extreme, you could build a house that would shut out most outside noise. You could erect four solid concrete walls on a concrete slab, cap them with a concrete roof, then cover the whole house with earth. The concrete wouldn't have gaps for sound to slip through, the massive walls wouldn't vibrate and pass on outside noise, and the earth would isolate the house from impact-type noises. You could catch some serious ZZZZs in a house like that.
But you'd need a way in, so you'd add a door. And you'd want light and fresh air, so you'd add windows. And you'd cut in vents for your dryer and bath fan; you'd add a chimney for your furnace. And since concrete walls aren't all that homey, you might replace one or two with wood-framed walls with cedar siding and knotty pine paneling. All of a sudden, your solid, quiet house contains holes and "thin spots" that sound can travel through. And, of course, the people inside your silent dream home aren't always quiet either. Bammm, welcome to Noise Town, U.S.A.
As you can see, efforts to create a quieter home are always a compromise of function, looks, convenience, comfort and cost. Here are some steps you can take to create a quieter home. Some only make sense when done in the course of a major remodeling project; others can be done any time.
Outside noise can be the most annoying because it "belongs to someone else." It can also be startling. There's a logical order to follow in blocking outside noise; you'll be wasting your time doing things further down this list until you take care of the higher-up essentials. One nice bonus about these soundproofing measures is they'll often lower your heating and cooling bills to boot.
You should:
To quiet footsteps and impact noises from rooms above, install carpet with a thick pad in the upper room and a suspended ceiling with heavy rigid board (not flexible fiberglass) ceiling tiles in the lower room. Drywall can be cemented to the top of standard ceiling tiles to add mass—just make certain the metal grid can support the added weight.
Limit noise traveling between adjacent rooms by caulking around all outlets and switch boxes, especially those that are back to back. Replace hollow-core doors with solid-core doors and install weatherstripping and a bottom sweep just as you would with an exterior door.
To create a true quiet zone, add mass in the form of an extra layer of drywall and isolate that mass by one of two methods. The first is to screw resilient drywall channels horizontally across walls and add a second layer of 5/8-in. drywall (Fig. E). The second method, for ultimate quiet, is to build a separate 2x4 wall, insulate the cavity, drywall both sides, then erect it 1 in. away from the existing wall (to isolate it). Adding drywall usually means that you have to move outlet and switch boxes (or add box extenders) so they're flush with the new surface. To make door and window trim fit right, you'll have to add extension jambs, another labor-intensive job.
Our consultant loved drywall as a sound blocker. It's simply the cheapest, easiest to install, most effective sound-blocker around.
Heating and plumbing systems are double trouble since they both create and distribute noise. Most of the following products are available at heating and cooling as well as plumbing supply houses.
To limit heating and cooling system noise:
To limit plumbing noise:
To limit appliance and ventilation noise:
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Native to the Mediterranean, where warmer temperatures prevail, Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) was introduced to Britain by the Romans. Boughs of Rosemary have had many uses in the past. They were carried at weddings, used to freshen rooms, and burned as incense. They are also used as a pungent flavoring in cooking. The leaves, fresh or dried, can be used with chicken, meats (especially lamb), stews, breads, pizzas, and vegetables. Dried leaves can also be added to the coals of barbecues, near the end of cooking, to impact Rosemarys characteristic flavor to meats.
In addition to its varied culinary uses, Rosemary also has a history as a health giving herb. In 1525, Banckes Herbal, the first book devoted exclusively to herbs and their uses, was printed in England and included Rosemary. Early Arabian physicians are credited as the first to recommend this fragrant herb as a tea. And today, it is still enjoyed, often before retiring.
Please Read Item Label and Packaging for Recent Product Information.
The best way to make a good cup of tea is by the infusion method. Place one tea bag in a cup and add no more than 6 oz. of boiling water. Let steep for 3 minutes. Press the bag before removing to enhance the flavor. Add honey to sweeten.

Dodge 440 Engine Rebuild - Mopar MusclePosted in How To: Engine on March 1, 2008 Comment (0)
If big is good, then bigger is better. That's what we thought when we decided to rebuild our 440 Dodge block, instead of slapping in a 360 from a junkyard just to get down the road. While these big-block beasts haven't been produced since 1978, there are still plenty of them running strong in trucks, cars, motorhomes, and a few Jeeps. While a small-block swap would have been quicker and cheaper, it wouldn't have produced the torque and horsepower we needed, so a stock style rebuild was in order. Why stock? For our application it was simple; stock is simply the most reliable and durable way to go. We didn't need fancy high-rise manifolds and lumpy cams, and living in California we have this nasty problem with the emissions inspectors. They mandate stock or approved items on the engine to pass inspection, even though it may sniff dead clean at the tailpipe. We felt that 440 cubes of big-block power was more than enough, and knew that a slight rebore and a RV type of cam could help the engine breathe well enough to satisfy us-for now at least. Our engine had melted two pistons before we owned it, due to an overheating problem blamed on the radiator. Already taken apart and shoved into boxes, cans, and crates, the remains were left out in the rain to rot, which is why we got a good deal on the basket case.
With parts in hand, we went down to our friends at Coast Motor Supply in Canoga Park, California. Coast has been building engines for years, and specializes in fleets and companies that require reliable rebuilt engines. We discussed our project with the owner, Owen Carter, and came up with a plan to do all the machine work and show the process along the way. What we did was stick to the original design idea of the engine without too many hoorah parts for reliability. Upgrades are good, but sometimes compromise the end result. Here's what we came up with for a torque-devil 440 engine.

Not all 440s are created equal, and while all are good, some are better than others. For instance, early style engines come fitted with forged cranks and a host of other important items aimed at the race crowd. However, for most 4x4 and towing uses these upgrades and improvements aren't critical, but if you have a choice at the same price then go for the good stuff. Here's a few numbers we pulled to show what means what.

I am just starting with beekeeping. I amplaning on starting with an 8 frame conventional hive with Italians and a top bar (with supers) and Russians.
My girls come in 3 weeks and i am very excited to get started!
I am just starting with beekeeping. I amplaning on starting with an 8 frame conventional hive with Italians and a top bar (with supers) and Russians.
My girls come in 3 weeks and i am very excited to get started!
Welcome, let us know how they do.
Hello and Welcome!
I have an uncle out your way, in Media, PA.
This is a good forum to learn more about bees & beekeeping! I'm sure you'll learn a lot.
Are you involved with a local beekeeping club? Clubs are great places for finding mentors and getting connected to the local beekeeping community:
I have joined a group in MD where I am taking a bee class. My mentor is here in Chester Co and I have also joined that group as well. Right now I am in full education mode and reading everything I can get my hands on.
I have not, however, Read any thing on where to put emoticons.
Hey MeriB: I am a new beekeeper this year as well...live in Montco County, Skippack, PA, getting my first of two packages this Saturday, one later in the month...Hygienic Italians from Spell Bee.
Welcome to the forum. Most of my hives are right down the road from you near the Green Lane reservoir. If you ever need any pointers or information, feel free to give me a call.
Hey Yuluder...that sounds great! is this Mike? I saw the Chesco video...are you with them? I am with MontcoBeeks....I wished i knew you were so close, i would've bought nucs from you instead of packages from georgia...oh well...I would like to arrange to visit one of your bee yards and learn what you're doing to get by chemical free and do this thing the right way...do you guys have survivor stock? What races?
A government large enough to provide everything you need is strong enough to take everything you have. T. Jefferson
The packages I'm getting are also from Georgia. The only difference is I'm driving down to get them, lol. Yes I do have survivor stock and will be grafting from my top 2 or 3 hives in a few weeks. I also have 2 instrumentally Inseminated queens on order. One is a Carni X VSH from glenn apiaries and the other is from VP queens in Fredricks Maryland. My name is Lucas, lol. Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks. Yes I have joined 2, one where I live and one in MD where I am taking my beekeeping class.
Tghanks yulelander. I have a friend who is mentoring me. I am really trying to find someone who has successfully kept top bar hives. The 2 fellows in my bee club are helpful BUT don't seem to have had a lot of luck with them. They have also only had them 2 or 3 years.
Good Morning Lucas: Thanks for the response. Is there any way i can arrange to come to your apiary and meet you, discuss what Yules is doing and learn the management techniques you have adopted? I am definitely going to be re-queening next season and would like to purchase a couple queens at that time. I only have two hives, since i'm just starting.
Thanks, Scott
Hey Scott,
Give me a call my cell number is 267-626-6523
Lucas: Dude, it was great talkin' to ya and lookin' forward to learning all i can...me being a new beek, I need all the hours of bee time I can get. I'm totally stoked about my package comin' saturday...hives all set..stands good...feeders ready...spray bottle....a brand new William's hive tool...my gloves are already full of propolis and used my veil about an hour already doin' hive inspections with other beeks willing to let me watch/lift some frames out and look for queens on brood....it's great!!

Hey Jill,ReplyDelete
I'm with the peanut gallery on your photos, they're great!
I wonder if you've played with the "photo stitch" feature of the software that came with your camera? At least I assume it comes with the OLYMPUS Software. I just recently started taking some multiple shots to make one panorama and can't believe how easy it is to "stitch" them together with the software that came with my Canon SureShot. Back in the day, I loved my wide angle lense but now all I have is this little point and shoot digital. The photo stitch software enables me to capture big landscapes again – like you've got out there!
A few things I've learned on combining multiple shots into one:
- Turning the camera vertical makes for a more traditional proportioned picture. Otherwise, it can be a wide and squatty combined outcome.
- A handful of shots work better than trying to get a whole 360 view. It would take a large scale printer and the side of a barn to really appreciate the series I took last weekend from the top of the St. Augustine Lighthouse.
I hope this didn't sound like a lecture from an anon. :-)

Hi Jill, great catch and yummy looking dinner! :-)ReplyDelete
I hope I didn't contribute to your frustration at anonymous lectures with my comment several posts ago about unanounced drafting. I realized after I posted I could've made it a little more light-hearted and less lecture like.
Anyway, I hope you are enjoying your break and your rides!
That fish looks like something mounted in the prehistoric area of a natural history museum. Nice work!ReplyDelete
Hope I was a defender and not an offender. I hate to be a suck butt but, you are a fine weaver of words. I'll miss them on your break. If you want to read some annoying but ultimately really funny stuff with regard to an anonymous commenter, peruse "Marshmallow Fluff and a Shot of Jack" on my Tuesday Grimpeur blog. You have to read the comments on the post before it too for the full effect. Just ask Bluecolnago. A warning, it becomes Hunter S. Thompsonesque and there is a lot of profanity, but it is just for that post.ReplyDelete
As long as we're asking for links--please; oh, please!

Hey Jill...ReplyDelete
I wanted to let you know that you do indeed inspire. I tell lots of people about your blog. (But then I can barely talk to you the fewtimes I've seen you because it's funny to have read such personal writing of yours but still be on a just-getting-to-know-you basis.)
I was running along Thane Road on Sunday and saw a bike track in the gravel on the side of the road and I thought "I wonder if Jill was riding out here?"
Anyway, just wanted to say both you and Geoff are inspriing me as I train for my first marathon.
I hope you start writing again when you have refreshed.
Nice fish.
-Deb (from Starr Hill)
Let me know if you ever want company hiking this summer. I'll be headed up all these peaks, too!
Nice fish-- what is that, 25-ish pounds?ReplyDelete
Going for halibut this weekend out of Homer. Hopefully I'll get the same kinda luck.

Life in Southeast is surely sweet...saltwater Kings! Interiorites stand river side for hours, net in had, to try to catch Kings that have been falling apart in freshwater for days! And don't you get to put out crab pots too? King Salmon + King Crab=The Sweet Life! I need to move to the rocky coast. Hard to make a living there, though.ReplyDelete
Yesterday I went on my first bike ride for many years. I just rode to the glacier visitor center and then the to the waterfall and back home. About 5 miles round trip, and I was really really slow, with lots of real bikers zooming past me, but I did it! And you and your blog were totally my insperation! Thanks!ReplyDelete

Well, Snakebite definitely has his opinions and to some extent I must agree. I wanted to comment on the Pepsi also, but to each his own. Personally I would prefer a nice glass of vino. Of course being of Italian & French descent probably has something to do with that.ReplyDelete
You're really not a dork ;)
That's a king salmon. I'm not sure how much it weighed. It wasn't quite derby material, so we didn't take it to the weigh-in. Maybe mid-20s? It was tough to reel in - I definitely need to work on building my forearm muscles. Brian helped a lot with guideance and steering the boat. I almost lost it when it swam around the bow and I don't think he would have ever forgiven me. He's a Tlingit salmon slayer with generations of Southeast Alaska fishing experience behind him, and I'm a clueless formerly landlocked Utahn. But we do what we can.ReplyDelete
Cyn ... thanks. 20 miles a day is a lot! Nice work!
Deb ... I'd love to have a hiking partner this summer! Always tough to work my schedule around others', but I generally have mornings free, and you can't beat a quick trip up Mount Juneau or Jumbo on a sunny day. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can exchange phone numbers. And congrats on the marathon plans.
And congrats to you, too, Elizabeth. I head to the glacier all the time. Hope to see you out there.
Also, I don't claim to have a refined palette, but if you ask me, Diet Pepsi is the nectar of the gods. And in my defense - it was 11:30 a.m., I was leaving for work in an hour, and I had about 20 minutes to prepare that lunch. But, man oh man, fresh king salmon needs no expert touch. Mmmmmm.
And, on the radio silence ... everyone needs a break once in a while, even from their hobbies. I guess this comment has been as long as an original post would have been. But I will be back very soon.
I should let you know, Rod, that most women find the practice of using sex to insult them more tiresome than degrading. Similar to being called a "stupid poopy head" by a 4-year-old. If you'd really like to insult me, you could spend just a couple of minutes persuing my blog to pick out my real weaknesses.ReplyDelete
They have asparagus in Alaska?! That looks awesome ...ReplyDelete

I don't own the LCP my buddy does when I shoot his gun I am very very happy I have mine. When he shoots my gun he is very very happy I have my gun for him to enjoy also.
The LCP is a nice little gun that does its job and conceals very well. The Arizona made gun is much better and higher quality then the Florida made .380. Although, compared to the Mass. gun the only real similarity is they both shoot .380 bullets.
The P380 is a fine reliable tight weapon that is actually fun to shoot. It is a very good looking and extremely accurate weapon for that caliber and that size. If you want a gun to shoot the P380 is the one. If you just need something to fill your holster and that will go bang, the LCP is a great choice. The BG doesn't care which weapon delivers the bullet. If you want to shoot it and smile you might, i know I do.

In search of a BB Cream I came across this product. Given my past horror stories with such products, I purchased the darkest shade - and was impressed at how close the shade was to my skin tone! Granted I was shocked at the size of the package (can only blame myself for assuming more), but upon using the product I was impressed; in combination with my everyday foundation and concealer the end result is a personalized, custom finish. Excellent texture, easy to blend - a little goes a long way! If they make a larger size count me in!3

Event Coverage
FASHION WEEK: The Blonds, Let the Party Begin
NailsPhoto 6 of 16
Blonde wigs backstage! TIGI Global Creative Director Nick Irwin uses CATWALK by TIGI to create the futuristic silhouette for the 18 models.Photo 8 of 16
Make-up and nailsPhoto 9 of 16
Fun, happy, chaotic, interesting, stressful, inspired, creative,...The Blonds fashion show is all of the above. Scoring an invitation to this show is quite difficult, but thanks to TIGI, Modern was in! We were beyond thrilled to be up close and personal with the team that creates sexy, fun, studded, beaded, spiked and yet still flattering looks for Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, Fergie, and so many more. The inspiration for the Spring/Summer 2014 collection was, as always, powerful...paying homage to the "original blonde: Tweety, as well as Marilyn Monroe, Marie Antoinette, Madonna and Jane Fonda.
HAIR: We started backstage and grabbed an interview with TIGI Global Creative Director Nick Irwin who used CATWALK by TIGI to create the futuristic silhouette for the 18 models. "We wanted to create a character from the future, very alien," he says. "But still couture and avant garde." Irwin started with styrofoam balls which he and team covered in shiny slick synthetic hair (blonde of course). The models hair is then lacquered to a top knot and braided. The prepared form is placed over the knot and secured to the head.""This form isn't going anywhere," says Irwin after admitting he really had to press the bobby pins in to the base. "It is quite secure.
NAILS: Also secure were the nails, courtesy CND. Jan Arnold, co-founder, was there to share that not only did the models have fashion changes for the show...but each model had THREE NAIL CHANGES! The CND team was parked backstage during the show to change up the nail for each outfit. It was extraordinary. "In honoring the original blonde," says Arnold, "The Blonds honored Tweety Bird." Arnold then showed off her favorite nail of the evening, a shield as a 'bionic nail' honoring the Bionic woman. "A clear cover nail is attached with a hinge," she says. "Underneath are the gears." Arnold pointed out that it took more than 200 hours in the CND design lab to created the designs. "I feel we are curating an art show, featuring the nails. Technology and expression is going through the roof. It's a great time to be a nail artist!"
MAKE UP: Kabuki and team, for MAC Cosmetics, went all out with winged eyeliner, Tweety Bird yellow shadow, and alien eyebrows.
FRONT OF HOUSE: The Front of House (FOH) was the biggest party ever. Guests start arriving about 30 minutes before show time to chat it up, check out the fashions and style, and allow themselves to be greeted by the paparazzi. In attendance: Carmen Carrera, Amanda Lepore, Tyra Banks, Miss Bunny and a enormous collection of "club" types and amazing drag queens that didn't hold back when it came to dressing for the evening. Jan Arnold and I were sitting next to each other when she said "Oh, there's my friend Johnny Weir." I asked her if she would get a little interview and the ever gracious and fabulous Arnold chatted with the every gracious and fabulous Olypmic skater. Done!
The whole evening was a blast. When I was invited to the AFTER party, I asked..."You mean this ISN'T the party?!!!!!" I had to pass. There is only so much fabulousness, beauty, fashion and blondness a person can have in one day.

This is from a total newbie. In fact my bee don't even arrive for a week!
but for all it is worth, I am putting a bottom board in my KTBH that is interchangeable. One is a screen for summer, one a solid board for winter and one will hold a nuc box (gondola style) attached under the TBH open to the bars.
My hope is that the Nuc that is arriving next week will move up and into the TBH. they will be using the TBH entrance and I am going to cut the frame with honey and put it up there on a top bar.
I'm so new to this I am thinking it might work! Beginners luck? <sigh>
any ideas are appreciated. i will post pictures when I can!
who would have thought that a person could be SO EXCITED about a bee delivery? i'm trying to assure my kids that their arrival was just as exciting... http://www.beesource.com/forums/imag...es/biggrin.gif

A principle objective of the project is to promote innovative undergraduate teaching in the region, and to develop cutting-edge courses on gender and sexuality based on strong social constructionist and critical vision of sex, sexuality, and gender; to launch the teaching of queer theory, feminist analysis of sexuality and other approaches, which interpret sexualities politically, through the prisms of proliferated power and inequalities.
The main sessions of the project will include the following topics:
Teaching Sexuality and Gender: from Theories to Everyday Life (2011-2012). The central task of this session will be to introduce and discuss fundamental ideas/theories/methodologies in the study of gender and sexuality, and to engage practical application of the theories in the comprehension of everyday life.
Global/Local Discourses of Gender, Sexuality and Power (2012-2013). This session will concentrate on analysis of sexualities and power within different spatial and temporal localities (Soviet time periods, post-Soviet localities, and so on), and the dimensions of
Sexuality, Gender and Power In Intersectional Perspective (2013-2014). This session will target intersectionality, including such categories as alternative ability, age, class, ethnicity, gender identity, and others within gender and sexual politics. During the session we consider the links between the construction of sexuality and inequalities, privileges, privacy, family, heteronormativity, and dominance.
The question of feminist queer pedagogy (with focus on undergraduate university teaching) will be discussed within all theoretical or methodological topics.
The host institution of the project is Visual Culture Research Center of National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy

Q: My son has been in KiwiSaver for over two years. He turned 18 recently. Is he eligible for the entire $521 at the end of June assuming he has paid in $1043 or is he only eligible for a portion of the amount from when he turned 18?
For example, if he turned 18 exactly on January 1 is he then only eligible for half of the $521 - so he will need to have paid in $521 rather than the full amount?
I rang Inland Revenue and after a prolonged consultation period they seemed to think he is only eligible for a portion of the $521.
Could you confirm this for me?
The KiwiSaver year runs from July 1 to June 30 and your son will be eligible for a proportionate amount of the maximum member tax credit from the month he turns 18, until the following June 30. This is provided that he satisfies other eligibility criteria.
The member tax credit works out to around $10 a week, so if we consider your suggested example then for the period from January 1 to June 30 the member will get around $260.
To receive this maximum entitlement a member needs to contribute at least $520 during the KiwiSaver tax credit year. That's $1 in member contributions for every 50c received in member tax credits.
KiwiSaver members turning 18 should also review their prescribed investor rate (PIR) and let their provider know before the beginning of the next tax year (April 1 to March 31) if it's changing, otherwise they may find that they are paying too much tax on their investment income which cannot be refunded, or not enough tax in which case they may incur penalties.
This will be the case if their overall income has changed.
KiwiSaver members who are working when they turn 18 will also be required to contribute at a minimum rate of 2 per cent of their salary or wages and will become entitled to compulsory employer contributions (both of these contribution rates are currently set at 2 per cent of a person's salary or wages, rising to 3 per cent from April 1 2013).
Martin Lewington, head of Mercer New Zealand.
Q: My son is 13 and does not work part time. I have joined him in KiwiSaver and he has been in a growth fund for the past three years.
Does he still get the government top up of $521 each year provided we deposit $1043 in his account yearly?
No. Members must be 18 or older in order to qualify for member tax credits, regardless of how much they contribute during the year.
Mark Fitz-Gerald, Westpac head of investments and insurance.
Q: My wife and I are over 65 and both have the minimum KiwiSaver started three years ago.
We are retired but not eligible for the Super for many more years (we have been permanent residents for six years and have been travelling oversees a lot and I understand the Super requires us to be permanent residents "in the country" for 10 years!).
Would it be a good idea to transfer our substantial nest egg into the KiwiSaver so that in six years' time, when we will need additional funds, we can draw a monthly amount to augment our living expenses?
Firstly, is this move allowed with KiwiSaver and secondly if it is allowed should it be done with large monthly deposits or the full amount up front.
I still have two years of contributions to make before I am able to draw down on our KiwiSaver.
To us it seems a good move as one can check on the progress of the funds daily; also we are able to draw down any amount weekly, monthly etc ... and all this time we are achieving better than term deposit rates.
It appears the costs are lower than any managed fund, because of the size of the funds and the growth (equity) portion is tax free! (If we chose the growth fund).
Irrespective of whether or not you qualify for NZ Superannuation, in terms of your KiwiSaver scheme, you are able to withdraw from your account once you've reached the retirement age and have been in the scheme at least 5 years.
Yes - individuals can deposit lump sums into KiwiSaver and carry on contributing for as long as they wish.
You can continue to receive member tax credits until you are eligible to withdraw from your KiwiSaver account.
We offer a regular and simple draw-down facility for people once eligible.
This can be set up for minimum amounts of $200 a fortnight, $400 a month, $1000 a quarter.
Partial withdrawals must be for at least $1000 each time and a minimum investment of $1000 must remain in your account at all times.

At the end of February, Topsham became the latest Maine community to consider moratoriums on medical-marijuana dispensaries in the wake of last November's election. Other cities and towns, some of which have already issued temporary bans, include South Portland, Brewer, and Ellsworth among a handful of other municipalities. It is a reaction to the referendum that creates a system for growing, distributing, and accessing pot (with a doctor's and the state's approval) to ease certain medical conditions, like those associated with cancer or multiple sclerosis.
Advocate Jonathan Leavitt, who played a big role in the political campaign last fall, says the moratoriums are pointless. "It's just a waste of time because no one can operate a dispensary in the state until the licenses are available," Leavitt says, and that won't happen until mid-summer. In other words, cities and towns have more than enough time to come up with local pot-related rules and regulations before marijuana marts start popping up next to schools (or some such sensational worst-case scenario).
The governor-appointed medical-marijuana task force will present recommendations to the Joint Committee on Health and Human Services on Thursday at a public hearing. Then, the bill will go before the full Legislature, and once it's (presumably) approved there, the state Department of Health and Human Services will go about actually implementing the law. The task force has laid out a system of qualifications for patients and caregivers (who are not permitted to assist more than five qualified patients with medical marijuana), rights and responsibilities of dispensaries and users (dispensaries may be searched by state officials without notice, but patients and caregivers get 24 hours' advance warning), and privileges of doctors (they are not subject to arrest, prosecution, or penalty of any kind, criminal, civil, or professional). It specifically notes that schools, employers, landlords, and parents in custody battles may not discriminate against people based on medical-marijuana patient qualification.
In the meantime, Leavitt and the Maine Citizens for Patients' Rights group are planning a big conference (for 300 to 500 people) at the University of Southern Maine on June 5, with different tracks for patients and caregivers, doctors, municipal officials and politicians, and potential dispensary operators (about 30 of whom showed up at a special workshop in Augusta last week to learn more about what it will take to run one of the non-profit dispensaries). Leavitt is especially interested in overcoming physicians' resistance to pot prescriptions.
"We've got all these patients who are qualified," he explains, "and they're urgently calling to find a doctor to make a recommendation." However, so few doctors are writing medical-marijuana prescriptions that there's a "backlog of patients who can't find doctors . . . We need to educate the doctors or they need to educate themselves."

This article originally appeared in the February 21, 2003 edition of the Boston Phoenix.
The New York Post got to resurrect its priceless "Wacko Jacko" headline. Barbara Walters scored Super Bowl-level ratings without having to lift a pretty little finger. And Michael Jackson, well, no matter how you slice it, he got screwed royally. That's how they do it in Britain. His first mistake was to give journalist Martin Bashir access to his inner sancta – to his playground-style home, to the floor of a Las Vegas hotel that he'd rented out, to a day out with the kids (three of them) at the zoo. After all these years as a celebrity, Michael Jackson still hasn't picked up the most basic aspects of dealing with the public. He's clueless when it comes to gauging how his smallest actions will be interpreted once they've been writ large across the headlines of the world. And he seems unaware that behind the masses of adoring kids who scream for hugs and autographs wherever he turns up, there's a much larger mass of people who are repelled by him and everything he's come to represent.
If Jackson hoped to find allies by submitting to a lengthy televised interview, he failed utterly. There will be a few people – myself among them – who feel sorrier for him than they did a few weeks ago. But as soon as someone mentions the millions of dollars he's got in the bank, that pity melts away, and you're left no longer caring what happens to Señor Wacko – especially when he's put in the context of Iraq and North Korea.
His attorneys are, of course, claiming that it was all – the entire two hours of it – taken out of context. And maybe some of it was. But no amount of backtracking is going to undo the harm the Walters special did to his image. The shot of Michael nervously feeding his youngest kid, fumbling around in front of the camera as if not quite sure where the nipple goes. The hyperactive swing through his "favorite store" – that swanky and heroically tacky Vegas boutique full of million-dollar art objects that Michael apparently owns half of already. That moment at the zoo when he complained to his handlers that his daughter was holding his hand too tightly. The open admission that he spends a large amount of time playing and even napping with school-age children. And the straight-faced denials that he's had any kind of cosmetic surgery except, when he was pressed, two rhinoplasties that were "necessary" to improve his vocal range. Yeah, and I bought that penis enlarger so my underwear would fit better.
The controversies have only just begun. There will be court battles and countersuits, and tonight (February 20) at 8 p.m., Fox will air Jackson's two-hour rebuttal to Bashir, Michael Jackson Take 2: The Interview They Wouldn't Show You. But the damage has already been done. We all now know what many of us had already suspected: there's something very, very wrong with Michael Jackson. And I'm not sure he'll ever be able to sing and dance his way out of this one.

I would like to us a used (lightly) shipping container to build a honey house. My current shop is one of those 'roofing as all surfaces' metal contraptions which is completely uninsulated. Needless to say, it gets quite warm during extracting season when I have to keep the door closed to keep the bees out. I've clocked it at 109 degrees F and 98 percent humidity. It's great for getting honey out of combs, but no fun otherwise. It's also very cold in winter when I'm working on frames and boxes, but at least it keeps the wind off.
So I'd like to have a better one which will also serve as my wood shop (building my own boxes) and a platform for a mess of solar panels. Most of all, I want to be able to take it with me when I move.
I've seen a number of methods of insulating, from the usual wood framing with fiberglass batts to fancier things like foam boards and spray foams and such. I don't like fiberglass and given space limits, it won't provide much bang for the space it takes up and I'd like it to be as efficient as possible. Another one I've seen was using Icynene, open cell foam filling in wood framing. This option looks really good, but with winters around here at least occasionally able to form ice on the inside of windows, I wouldn't want water migrating through and rusting where I can't see. Polyurethane foam would probably be the best option but it is expensive. My brother has done two with foil faced foam boards on all sides with plywood on top and they seem to work well, but how would he know if moisture were getting through?
Has anybody tried this? Any ideas?

Pace Quickens on Budget Resolution
White House Rejects House GOP Plan to Extend Borrowing for Six Weeks, Argues for Longer-Term Talks
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama on Friday began working aggressively with House and Senate Republicans to shape a deal to raise the debt ceiling and fully reopen the federal government, signaling a quickening pace in discussions to end a political stalemate that risks a U.S. debt crisis.
The White House rejected a core part of a proposal from House Republican leaders that would extend the nation's borrowing authority for six weeks if the president committed to deficit-reduction negotiations. Instead, Mr. Obama signaled that he wants a deal that raises the debt ceiling for a longer period and creates a longer-term forum for budget talks.
A proposal crafted by Senate Republicans, which has drawn interest from some Democrats, emerged as the likelier avenue for reaching an agreement. It included a longer extension of borrowing authority—through January—and an explicit agreement to reopen the government.
The developments set the stage for a weekend of negotiations and calculations about whether Mr. Obama could fashion an agreement on his own terms that could also pass the GOP-led House. They came as the government remained partially closed for an 11th day and amid fears of a debt crisis.
Politics Counts
The Treasury says lawmakers must raise the debt ceiling this month so that all of the nation's bills can be paid. On Oct. 17 the Treasury says it will exhaust its emergency measures and be left with about $30 billion, which could run out in a week or two.
Global financial leaders—with the agreement of the Obama administration—on Friday urged the U.S. government to get its fiscal act together before its budget battles derail the world economy. The U.S. "needs to take urgent action to address short-term fiscal uncertainties," said a communiqué released by the Group of 20 industrialized and developing economies.
The day's events showed how the House Republicans' position has become substantially weakened in recent weeks, and how thoroughly Mr. Obama had gained the upper hand.
Republicans headed into the fall's budget battle gunning for the president's most important legislative initiative, willing to allow a government shutdown in order to defund or undercut the 2010 health-care law.
By this week, however, Republican demands were a shadow of their former ambitions. Their proposal included a six-week increase in the debt limit, with no GOP policy priorities attached, in exchange only for a promise from Mr. Obama to engage in budget negotiations.
The events also marked a shift for Mr. Obama, who for weeks had said he wouldn't negotiate details of any deal until Congress raised the debt ceiling and fully reopened the government without GOP policy conditions. That stance changed this week as the president met separately with each party's House and Senate caucus, and on Friday he signaled his preferences more directly to lawmakers.

Those meetings left Mr. Obama with two options for pursuing an agreement, one from House Republican leaders, and one from Senate Republicans.
The House GOP plan did not appear to lay out a clear path to reopening the government. It linked the six-week extension of borrowing authority with budget talks, in which the GOP would push for a number of deficit-reduction proposals, among them means-testing Medicare, slowing the growth of benefits for Social Security and adopting a framework for altering the tax code, according to GOP aides.
On Friday afternoon, the White House didn't flatly reject the proposal, but said Mr. Obama had concerns with a major element of it.
In particular, White House spokesman Jay Carney said, tying a six-week extension of the debt limit to budget negotiations is "not the appropriate way to go," because it would create the same dynamic that has led to the current stalemate. Mr. Obama phoned House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), and the two agreed to continue discussions, Mr. Carney said.
Senate Republicans who met with Mr. Obama on Friday said he suggested he was looking for a plan that extended the debt ceiling for longer than the six weeks in the House plan, and which created a venue for negotiating a broader fiscal accord not linked with the debt-ceiling discussion.
"He is very concerned about having the debt limit taken care of—but he'd like a long-term debt limit," said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah).
In the absence of a breakthrough with the House, attention turned to negotiations quietly conducted in the Senate's backrooms. A group of Republicans has been working with Democrats to devise an alternative route to compromise that could link the reopening of the government with a debt-limit increase that would extend borrowing authority longer than in the House plan.
A bipartisan group of about 10 lawmakers, roughly split between Democrats and Republicans, met in Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins's office on Friday to refine the plan. It would extend the borrowing limit through the end of January and reopen the government through March at current spending levels.
The bill also would grant more flexibility for agencies to manage budget cuts known as the sequester, according to a Senate aide with knowledge of the talks.
The proposal would immediately start negotiations over a longer-term budget, with a requirement to produce a report by mid-January.
It also would include measures relating to the health law: a two-year delay in a tax on medical devices intended to help fund the law, and income-verification measures designed to prevent fraud among people receiving government subsidies to help pay for health-insurance premiums.
Those provisions could help win support from Republicans who have tried to curtail the health law. Senate Democratic leaders haven't backed the plan at this point, an aide said.
Ms. Collins said she presented her plan to Mr. Obama in their Friday meeting and said he didn't immediately reject or embrace it.
"The president is now indicating a willingness to negotiate that was not there previously, and I think that represents progress,'' she said in an interview.
If Mr. Obama moves more directly to working with the Senate, he will raise questions about whether any deal he strikes can marshal a majority in the House.
House Republicans have so far shown little interest in the Collins plan. "We're working on something else,'' said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), when asked about the Senate proposal.

Two Hope College student-athletes have been named to the GTE Academic Great Lakes All-District women's at-large team for the fall and winter sports season.
Senior Ellen Schultz of Maple City (Glen Lake HS) and junior Rebecca Timmer of Pella, Iowa(Pella Community HS) are among 10 honorees from colleges in Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee.
Schultz and Timmer are being honored as cross country athletes. They are now eligible for GTE Academic All-America consideration.
Five of the 10 honorees are from Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) colleges. The other MIAA athletes are Cara Jansen of Calvin (soccer), Carrie Meyer of Adrian (soccer) and Marisa Proctor of Alma (diving).
Schultz is a psychology/Spanish major who carries a 3.98 graduate point average on a four point scale while Timmer is a chemistry/Spanish major with a 3.94 GPA.
Both were NCAA All-Americans last fall as they finished 25th and 29th respectively at the Division III championships.
Schultz was co-captain of the 1997 cross country team. She is a three-time all-conference honoree. Last spring she was also All-MIAA in track after winning the conference championship in the 5,000-meter run. Already this spring she has recorded a provisional qualifying performance for the Division III national track championship in the 5,000-meter run.
Timmer is a two-time All-MIAA cross county honoree and last spring received all-conference honors in track.

Concerned residents writing letters to Attorney General about Unicoi Memorial Hospital
UNICOI COUNTY, Tenn. - The fight isn't over in Unicoi County; some residents are unhappy about the decision to have Mountain States Health Alliance take over control of Unicoi County Memorial Hospital.
To have their voices heard, they're sending a message to the state's Attorney General and those residents met Thursday night.
The group is throwing their support behind Wellmont Health Systems, and organizers say Wellmont does not have a thing to do with these meetings. Residents simply want one last chance for their hospital.
They lined up to gather information, hoping to change the future of the 48-beds at Unicoi County Memorial Hospital. Concerned residents are writing Tennessee's Attorney General and this meeting is to point them in the right direction. "[To] know how to contact him, what to say in the letter. We're [organizers] not going to write the letters for them, we're just giving them basic information," said organizer Jim Buchanan.
These letters will be asking the Attorney General to look at the Hospital Board's vote -- 5 to 2 -- in favor of handing over operations to Mountain States Health Alliance instead of Wellmont Health Systems.
"We as taxpayers of Unicoi County need to standup and say we need to vote on this," said resident Tina Jones.
Many did stand up expressing concerns. "I think because the board didn't reach out to the people, I think that's one of the faults on this whole process," added one resident.
Others, like J.D. Shook, say they're worried about the quality of healthcare and Unicoi County's economy, "They're [Wellmont] going to build a better hospital than Mountain States is."
While the vote has been tallied, these residents believe the battlefield has changed. "What Unicoi County people are asking for is a little bit of choice," added another concerned resident.
Organizers of this meeting say they're hoping to make a trip to Nashville and have a sit-down meeting with the Attorney General to discuss the future of Unicoi County Memorial Hospital.

I want Kevin Red**** (UNC), A.J. Klein (IOWA ST.) or Bruce Taylor (VT) as darkhorse middle linebackers that can be had in the middle rounds. We really need to strengthen the lines and get another cornerback in the worst way. I don't want small linenackers that weigh less than 245 anymore. We already have Williams and Paysinger who are on the small side. That is enough.

DOWNLOAD: Pretty & Nice, "Grab Your Nets" [mp3]
In February, 2008, Will Spitz profiled Boston's Pretty & Nice as the band was recording its debut for Sub Pop's new Hardly Art imprint. This week, music editor Michael Brodeur breaks down how rising gas prices, a shrinking music industry, and the ubiquity of digital distribution have dramatically altered the landscape of touring. To get an up-close-and-anecdotal perspective, ThePhoenix.com asked P&N's Jeremy Mendicino (with help from the rest of the band) to keep a running tour diary as they gigged cross-country from Portland, Oregon back to Boston in time to play a record-release party on September 7. This is their story, in reverse chronological order. Check back for updates and track their progress as they make their way home.
SUNDAY 8.31.2008Activities for passing time in the van: read (books, signs, maps, other, books, text messages), iPod (too many notes), sleep (stiff neckening), watch movies, flux capacitor (currently broken), pick fights, drive.
Drive tends to be the best option. I do this a lot. It can be a game. Points are awarded for optimizing gas mileage, in-center-of-lane consistency, smoothness of lane changes, "jumping" the windshield wipers between the telephone poles (don't ask), comfortable braking, minimizing collisions, timely arrivals etc.
Note to Self: Consider pitching these ideas to video game manufacturers for inclusion in future Grand Theft Auto installments.
SATURDAY, 8.30.2008So there was this hurricane in Louisiana. And Baton Rouge is in Louisiana. Shows + hurricanes aren't a happy marriage, yada yada yada. We had to cancel Baton Rouge. BUMMER. I hate canceling shows. BUT. Our wonderful friend Tania in Dallas helped us out with not one, but TWO last minute shows in town, so we skipped up to Dallas, played a quick set and hustled down the street to play an "acoustic" set at an art opening. It was . . . an experience. Not bad. Strange. A horse is a horse of course of course.
P.S.: We're still poor.
Travel Anxiety #327: Maintaining healthy battery life in all onboard electronic devices. Macintosh computers (two), ipods (three), cellular phones (was four, now three), GPS (one). Have blown one inverter in this pursuit. Inverter two is still holding strong. Austin has always treated us well and tonight is no exception. Biggest crowd, best reception. Best show yet? Austin + Pretty & Nice = Best Friends Forever.
THURSDAY, 8.28.2008I guess today is a "day off" but there's nothing especially relaxing about a 20-hour drive across the desert. Oh well. We listened to a lot of Tom Waits, the HEALTH remix album (van dance party!), and "Twin Falls" by Built to Spill way too many times in a row. That song is incredible. Seriously incredible. (It really is incredible -- Ed.) Too many oldest memories and several thousand tumbleweeds later, we shacked up at a motel (first and only of the tour) in Van Horn, TX. Checked into a one bedroom and snuck everybody else in. Caught Obama's DNC speech (new classicism, if that's possible) and slept. Slept. Slept. Sleep is good.
WEDNESDAY, 8.27.2008Phoenix is hot. Why would anybody ever choose to live here? They (that is, the natives) say it cools down at night. Well . . . 85 degrees is not "cool." 85 degrees is hot. Impossibly hot.

Forget about the head coach - it is the director of football role that will become all important at Mt Smart next season.
The new Warriors coach is set to be named this week, with a general manager of operations to be confirmed at the same time or shortly afterwards.
If - as the Herald on Sunday understands will happen - Storm assistant coach David Kidwell is ushered into the coach's chair at the Auckland club, with Matthew Elliott installed as the general manager, then much of the onus in 2013 will fall on the shoulders of the latter.
Given Kidwell's lack of head coaching experience at any level, he will need to lean heavily on Elliott, who has considerable experience in England as well as NRL roles with Canberra and Penrith.
Kidwell has been at the Storm the past two years as an assistant to Craig Bellamy. The Warriors are hoping that having worked with arguably the best coach in the NRL and been exposed to the systems and structures at the Storm, Kidwell will have learned enough to shift to Auckland and make a successful transition to head coach.
"Working with men like that you tend to be a 'doer' rather than a creator", says one insider, "which changes dramatically when you become head coach."
Kidwell is unlikely to be offered a long term contract as Warriors CEO Wayne Scurrah has previously indicated that a less experienced coach would be offered a relatively short deal.
Elliott is understood not to have been a contender for the coaching role and was content to take a back seat job since leaving the Panthers in difficult circumstances in 2011 and Bellamy has repeatedly ruled himself out of going anywhere before 2014.
In a further twist, former Manly and Kiwis coach Graham Lowe has been heavily involved in the appointment process, as an advisor to Warriors CEO Wayne Scurrah. At one stage it was believed that Lowe may also have been in contention for a formal position at the club next year but this now looks unlikely.
Of the other coaching contenders Tony Iro is said to still be in the frame and would in many ways be a logical choice (and the players' favourite as some have made representations on his behalf) but the Aucklander would be a hard sell to the fans.
Despite initial interest from the Warriors Tim Sheens now looks unlikely to cross the Tasman though he cannot be completely ruled out. Highly regarded strength and conditioning coach Craig Walker's future looks uncertain at the club, as he is considering a move back to Sydney.
Despite being poised to appoint what could be viewed as an underwhelming duo of Kidwell and Elliott, Scurrah is confident in both the process and the outcome.
"It has been an extremely robust process with a lot of potential applicants involved," says Scurrah. "Of course there are no guarantees [of success] no matter hard you look but we are confident we have covered all the bases."

Barkhamsted >> Christmas in Riverton, sponsored by the Riverton Merchants' Association, is back for its ninth annual celebration on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and 2.
The holiday festivities will begin on Friday Nov. 30 with the annual lighting of the town Christmas tree at 5:30 p.m., accompanied by Christmas music performed by the Northwestern Regional School 7 high school and middle school choir.
While residents can participate in a candlelight walk through town for holiday shopping from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Old Factory on the River and Hitchcock Chair Company and enjoy the holiday festivities, others can be a part of the highlight of the night: the very popular Wine Tasting Tour.
The tour will begin at the Old Lambert house, where glasses will be available for $25 a person. With glasses in hand, patrons can then stroll through the candlelit village to various shops where they will be offered two or three wine samples.
A portion of the proceeds from this part of the event will support the Barkhamsted Historical Society.
"The wine tour was added nine years ago and the people love it," said organizer Leslie DiMartino. "It is unique and we usually sell over 200 glasses."
Continuing the celebration are fun, holiday-filled activities for children and families in the day on Dec. 1. The Torrington Area Model Railroaders will have a display of railroads and trains, and the Riverton Grange Hall will have craft activities both for children.
Puppet shows, horse-drawn carriage rides and visits from Santa Claus will also encompass the weekend of holiday-themed events.
"The event brings people to Riverton who will hopefully come back and visit, shop and or eat," said DiMartino.
A new addition to the old-fashioned celebration is a Festival of Trees, which will benefit the Community Food Bank and Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church. Participants can cast their vote for the best tree by leaving a non-perishable food item or monetary donation and even bid in a silent auction to take away a favorite tree.
"Riverton is one of the historical districts in town and this event showcases the shops and restaurants in the village, as well as the beauty of the river and the state forests," said First Selectman Don Stein. "The merchants use the proceeds to promote their businesses and hopefully this will also help to help attract new businesses to the community."
The beloved Christmas in Riverton event began over 20 years ago as a way for merchants to celebrate Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," performed at the Riverton Congregational Church.
Performances begin Friday night at 8 p.m. with additional shows held throughout the weekend. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children, and can be purchased at the Riverton General Store.
Part of the proceeds from the Wine Tasting Tour and ticket sales for the play will be donated to the Tiny Tim Fund, a charity that helps local families in need.
For more information on activities and the schedule, visit www.RivertonCT.com.

Recreating files from packet capture
Can anyone help me recreate files from a packet capture.
I have found a good page on hex headers (http://www.garykessler.net/library/file_sigs.html), and I know that there are at least two bmp images and one zip file.
I have tried copying them all to notepad, then loading them up in a hex editor, and saving them as the required file type, but if I try opening them up in paint, or winzip, I just get a "file is corrupt" message.
Is there a step I am missing?
