Modifying Service Configurations
When a service is added to Cloudera Manager, either through the Installation or Upgrade Wizard or with the Add Services workflow, Cloudera Manager configures it with a default set of configuration properties, based on the needs of the service and various characteristics of the cluster in which it will run. These configuration properties include both service-wide configuration settings, as well as specific settings for each role type associated with the service, managed through Role Groups. A role group includes a set of configuration properties for that role type, as well as a list of role instances associated with that role group. Cloudera Manager automatically creates a base role group for each role type.
Certain role types — specifically those that allow multiple instances on multiple nodes, such as DataNodes, TaskTrackers, RegionServers — allow the creation of additional role groups that differ from the base configuration. Each role instance can be associated with only a single role group.
Note that when you run the installation or upgrade wizard, Cloudera Manager automatically creates the appropriate base configurations for the roles it adds. It may also create additional role groups for a given role type, if necessary. For example, if you have a DataNode role on the same host as the NameNode, it may require a slightly different configuration that DataNode roles running on other hosts. Therefore, Cloudera Manager will create a separate role group for the DataNode role that is running on the NameNode host, and use the base DataNode configuration for the DataNode roles running on other hosts.
You can modify the settings of the base role group, or you can create new role groups and associate role instances to whichever role group is most appropriate. This simplifies the management of role configurations when one group of role instances may require different settings than another group of instances of the same role type — for example, due to differences in the hardware the roles run on.
For information on creating a new role group, see Managing Role Groups.
Certain roles, such as the CDH3 NameNode and SecondaryNameNode, provide only a base role group, as only one instance of the role can exist in the cluster. You cannot create additional role groups for those roles.
You modify the configuration for any of the service's role groups through the Configuration tab for the service. You can also override the settings inherited from a role group for a given role instance, if necessary see Overriding Configuration Settings.
Role groups provide two types of properties: those that affect the configuration of the service itself (the Default section in the left-hand panel) and those that affect monitoring of the service, if applicable (the Monitoring section). (Not all services have monitoring properties). For more information about monitoring properties see Configuring Monitoring Settings.
If you change configuration settings in the Configuration tab after you have started the service or instance, you may need to restart the service or instance. If you need to restart, a message is displayed at the top of the Configuration tab. For more information, see Restarting Services and Instances after Configuration Changes.
Changing the Configuration of a Service or Role
To change configuration settings for a service or role:
- Click the Services tab and select the service you want to modify.
- Pull down the Configuration tab at the top of the window and select Edit. The left hand panel organizes the configuration properties into into categories; first those that are Service-Wide, followed by role groups for each role type within the service. Each role group shows its own set of properties, organized by function Advanced properties are listed separately for each role group. If you have created additional role groups they will appear in this panel and you can modify them just as you can the base role group. For example, if during installation, Cloudera Manager determined that a different set of configuration values is needed for the DataNode colocated with the NameNode, you might see two categories in the Category panel — DataNode (Base) and HDFS-1-DATANODE-1 (where HDFS-1-DATANODE-1 is the role group Cloudera Manager created for the DataNode instance colocated with the NameNode role).
- Under the appropriate role group, select the category for the properties you want to change.
- To search for a text string (such as "safety valve"), in a property, value, or description, enter the text string in the Search box at the top of the Category list.
- Moving the cursor over the value cell highlights the cell; click anywhere in the
highlighted area to enable editing of the value. Then type the new value in the
field provided (or check or uncheck the box, as appropriate).
- To facilitate entering some types of values, you can specify not only the value, but also the units that apply to the value. for example, to enter a setting that specifies bytes per second, you can choose to enter the value in bytes (B), KiBs, MiBs, or GiBs — selected from a drop-down menu that appears when you edit the value.
- To remove the value you entered, click the Reset to the default value link.
- If the property allows a list of values, click the Plus icon to the right of the edit field to add an additional field. An example of this is the DataNode Data Directory property, which can have a comma-delimited list of directories as its value. To remove an item from such a list, click the Minus icon to the right of the field you want to remove.
- Click Save Changes to commit the changes. You can add a note that will be included with the change in the Configuration History. This will change the setting for the role group, and will apply to all role instances associated with that role group. Depending on the change you made, you may need to restart the service or roles associated with the configuration you just changed. Or, you may need to redploy your client configuration for the service. You should see a message to that effect at the top of the Configuration page, and services may show "Running with Outdated Configuration" as their status.
Validation of Configuration Settings
If you try to use a configuration value that is outside the recommended range of values, Cloudera Manager displays a warning after you click Save Changes at the Configuration tab. Cloudera Manager displays a warning at the top of the Configuration tab and a warning label below the text box where the out-of-range value is entered. Normally this warning value is yellow, but you may get a red validation error if the input is blatantly incorrect.
Overriding Configuration Settings
For role types that allow multiple instances, each role instance inherits its configuration settings from its associated role group. While role groups provide a convenient way to provide alternate configuration settings for selected groups of role instances, there may be situations where you want to make a one-off configuration change — for example when a node has malfunctioned and you want to temporarily reconfigure it. In this case, you can override configuration settings for a specific role instance.
To override a configuration setting for a specific role instance:
- Go to the Service page for the Service whose role you want to change.
- Click the Instances tab
- Click the role instance you want to change
- On the role instance page, click the Configuration tab.
- Change the configuration values as appropriate.
- Save your changes.
Note that you will most likely need to restart your service or role to have your configuration changes take effect. To see a list of all role instances that have an override value for a particular configuration setting, expand the Overridden by link in the value cell for the overridden value. To view the override values, and change them if appropriate, click the Edit Overrides link. This opens the Edit Overrides page, and lists the role instances that have override settings for the selected configuration setting.
On the Edit Overrides page, you can do any of the following:
- View the list of role instances that have overridden the value specified in the role group. Use the selections on the drop-down menu below the Value column header to view a list of instances that use the inherited value, instances that use an override value, or all instances. This view is especially useful for finding inconsistent settings in a cluster. You can also use the Host and Rack text boxes to filter the list.
- Change the override value for the role instances to the inherited value from the associated role group. To do so, select the role instances you want to change, choose Inherited Value from the drop-down menu next to Change value of selected instances to and click Apply.
- Change the override value for the role instances to a different value. To do so, select the role instances you want to change, choose Other from the drop-down menu next to Change value of selected instances to. Enter the new value in the text box and then click Apply.
Resetting Configuration Settings to the Default Value
If you want to reset a setting back to its default value, click the Reset to the default value link below the text box in the value cell. The default value is inserted and both the text box and the Reset link disappear.
Explicitly setting a configuration to the same value as its default (inherited value) will have the same effect as using the Reset to the default value link. Setting a configuration to the same value as its default value will NOT result in an override.
Using a Configuration Safety Valve
Found in the Advanced category (usually under a role group) a Safety Valve configuration setting lets you insert an XML text string into the configuration file, such as hdfs-site.xml or mapred-site.xml, owned by a service or role. It is intended for advanced use in case there is a specific Hadoop configuration setting that you find is not exposed in Cloudera Manager; contact Cloudera Support if you are required to use it.
For example, there are several safety valves for the NameNode role under the HDFS service Configuration tab, NameNode (Base) role group, Advanced subcategory. There are a number of Safety Valve properties that affect various configuration files; the Description field tells you into which configuration file your additions will be placed. For example, one NameNode safety valve property is called the NameNode Configuration Safety Valve for hdfs-site.xml; settings you enter here will be inserted verbatim into the hdfs-site.xml file associated with the NameNode — thus each value you enter into that configuration safety valve must be a valid xml property definition, for example:
To see a list of safety valve settings that apply to a specific configuration file, you can enter the configuration file name in the search field and filter for all safety valves that affect that file. For example, searching for mapred-site.xml will show all the safety valve settings that have mapred-site.xml in their descriptions.
Another example of a safety valve is an environment safety valve, such as the HDFS Service Environment Safety Valve found under the Service-Wide Advanced settings for HDFS. The key/value pairs you specify in an environment safety valve for a service or role are inserted verbatim into the role's environment. Service-wide safety valve values apply to all roles in the service; a safety valve value for a role group apply to all instances of the role associated with that role group.
Restarting Services and Instances after Configuration Changes
If you change the configuration settings after you start a service or instance, you may need to restart the service or instance to have the configuration settings become active. If you need to restart, a message is displayed at the top of the Configuration tab when you save your changes.
If you change configuration settings at the service level that affect a particular role only (such as all DataNodes but not the NameNodes), you can restart only that role; you do not need to restart the entire service. If you changed the configuration for a particular instance only (such as one of four Datanodes), you may need to restart only that instance.
To restart a service or instance:
- Navigate to the Services > Status tab for the service. The status for the roles whose configuration has changed will be Started with Outdated Configuration; that is, not using your most recent changes. If you made changes for some but not all instances of a role, the warning will indicate how many are affected. For example, if you changed just one of the four DataNode instances, the DataNode status on the HDFS Service Status page would appear as 3 Started, 1 Started with Outdated Configuration.
- To restart the entire service (such as all of HDFS), choose Restart from the Actions menu (at the upper right).
- To restart an instance (such as all DataNodes or a particular DataNode), click the Instances link, select the instances you want to restart and then select Restart from the Actions for Selected menu.
- Click Restart that appears in the next screen to confirm.
- If you see a Finished status, the service or instances have restarted.
- Navigate to the Service > Status tab. The service should show a Status of Started for all instances and a health status of Good.

I am alone now with Otis, world's sweetest orange tabby. Life is getting tougher. We have a few mature heartful folks here who post and actually care about other posters. We have lots of lurkers too. If anyone sees this I ask prayers from believers of any stripe. And thank you to those posters who inform, entertain and never write snotty posts to the many, I suspect CoP challenged posters from the bygone era. I just love the discussions, except when someone hurls an insult my way. In one religion, orthodox they ask pardon to all those they know, for offending them in any way. So I love religious forums and skating ones. I know the believers by now, at least a few, and I ask your prayers. If my opinions annoyed anyone, sorry.
This is truly a melting pot and the written word (often typed quickly) is oft misunderstood. The season is underway, and I hope your favorite wins at least once. It should be extraordinary. I'm thinking I should get IN this season and look for someone to connect laptop to TV. I would never know how. I have seen JO skaters and it looks like a great year for skating fans. Why do I pay for Kardashian type junk and cannot see skating in America?
Our culture is truly in decline. (here in the US) I don't know about the other countries. October brings blessings and while I'm happy to see ice skating, I pray for a mild winter. Please, powers that be!

Hacking music of choice
I was wondering, just for fun: what kind of music do you guys like to listen to while hacking/doing other comp stuff?
I myself often like something calm, like reggea (Bob -, Ziggy -, Damien Marley, Eek-a-Mouse), or stuff like Massive Attack and St. Germain.
Although I love other style's of music (electro, metal), I find it harder to focus with them on during all-night programming/comp fiddling, but that's offcourse a very person-specific view.
If you can name some groupnames with your hacking musicstyle's, please do! I might find some inspiration to expand that particular playlist

Home › Forums › Campfire › Hiking Partners / Group Trip Announcements › Austin TX and environs…
Jun 15, 2013 at 6:28 pm #1304255
Okie dokie…I am taking the plunge, giving my notice at the end of this week, hiking the JMT in August, then moving to Austin! Ill be staying with my brother, sister-in-law and amazing little niece to save money, see her terrible 2s, and prepare for the PCT in 2014.
I am of the understanding that no one in Texas ever hikes or backpacks. I'd love to be wrong, and if you live near there I'd love to meet up, buy you a beer or six and maybe go on a trip…
Since I know no one other than my brother and his family, I'd be oh so happy to meet some fellow BPLers there.
Anyone??Jun 15, 2013 at 6:33 pm #1997003

Well you will have Gossamer Gear in the neighborhood.

OK is close and a couple of us are always looking for hiking partners in the area.
Just FYI a couple of us are hiking the Oauchita Trail in November
It's OK-AR premier trail 230 ish miles. Please feel free to contact me if interested. We plan 12 days starting Nov 9th.
Hope your move goes great.Jun 15, 2013 at 6:56 pm #1997022

I was joined last year on a trip to the Pecos by Ian Schumann who is a BPL member and full fledged Austinite. Great gent. Knowledgeable backpacker and UL gear aficionado.
He's not very active here on the forum, but drops in occasionally. One thing to note, he travels to NM to get his multiday backpacking fix- something to consider.Jun 15, 2013 at 10:13 pm #1997067

Wait–aren't you still being sick? Please delay any "quit work" decisions until you are healthy, happy, and in a clear state of mind. Or else Doug might sic his pooch on you. And I'll send my rabid bunnies to Chi-town to hunt you down. Think clearly here, girl. Austin in the summer? What ya thinking? Spend some time there, enjoy their AC, then bolt up to Portland to set up the next chapter. My mileage may vary…Jun 15, 2013 at 10:18 pm #1997069

@richardglyonLocale: Bridger Mountains
Jennifer, hiking and backpacking opportunities within a reasonable driving distance Austin are indeed limited. Will you return there after the JMT? Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountain NP in West Texas are fun in the late fall and winter, but long drives from civilization.
Austin is a great town with great music and all the attractions of the university town that it is. And the friendliest people i've ever encountered. When I moved to Dallas 27 years ago I was made welcome from the day I arrived – the only place where I've seen no distinction between natives and newcomers. Must be something good about a place who's motto is Keep Austin Weird. And a hockey team named the Ice Bats.
I'll go through my contacts and PM you with some prospects.
Glad to read that the journey has begun.
RichardJun 16, 2013 at 5:37 am #1997093
I know, I know. I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of Texas. But here is my plan:
Last day of work: July 26.
July 27-Aug 20: hike JMT, visit a bit with my uncle in San Francisco.
August 20-aug 2?: pack up what I haven't sold, move most of it to storage
Drive me, the pooch, and the kitty (who doesn't backpack, by the way), to my brother's house in Austin.
I am going to be doing contract/travel PT stuff in Austin until April, trying some desert hikes; a very good friend lives on a Hopi reservation in NE AZ so we'll meet up for some desert trips.
Then…as long as I can save enough cash…it's PCT 2014!! I plan to just stay in the PNW when I'm done.
The Austin thing is because I finally have a niece, my brother is very homesick and would love for me to spend some time with them, and he has a guest house where I can live rent free for several months. Of course, he seems to think I am saving to move to Portland…he conveniently forgot the PCT bit. His response? "You can't do that. You'll be a bum!"
Yep, I say. Exactly.Jun 16, 2013 at 6:43 am #1997101
Gary DunckelBPL Member
@zia-grill-guyLocale: Boulder
OK, Jen, you're good. I like your plan after all. I'll take my rabid bunnies off red alert now.
Nah, cats don't do well on the trail. Both times I took cats car camping, they bolted as soon as I opened the door and I didn't see them for 24+ hours.
I wish you the best with your upcoming adventure. You'll miss Uno's pizza though…Jun 16, 2013 at 7:32 am #1997106

Well he just assumes you are driving/flying to Portland. No need to tell him you are walking there from San Diego. As per hikes, there's big bend and the guads when they cool down towards fall/winter. Spring sees 70 mph winds east of El Paso. If you are up for NE AZ, why not Grand Canyon or saguaro?Jun 16, 2013 at 8:34 am #1997118

Excellent reframing, sir! A++ would laugh again.
Jen, there's rivers down there (or so I've been told). Maybe make a friend that has a canoe (or just sell that cuben duomid to me for cheap and get a packraft. ;)Jun 16, 2013 at 12:33 pm #1997194
Ok. That was awesome. I will use it…..,
I run and I bike, and both of those are quite popular in Austin. My brother also lives next to a few rather nice running and biking trails, including one that would be on my dog-walk-route.
Ill be meeting up with my AZ friend for some backpacking, but I certainly won't be getting the 10-12 night/month fix I get here :(
I guess I'll just have to set up that sweet cuben duomid in his backyard and just sleep there a few nights a week. Cook on my CC on the back deck…
And I will probably be selling a whole bunch of down stuff this winter….doubt ill need it this year!!Jun 16, 2013 at 7:47 pm #1997309
Re winter backpacking in/around Austin — I recall setting up our now-ancient NF mountain tent in snow on a golf course greenway near downtown Austin one winter.
As noted by others, lack of public land around Austin is a big drawback.
A few places can be found, though, short of driving all the way to Big Bend NP (which nevertheless is definitely well worth the drive).
One getaway spot near Austin is Enchanted Rock State Park with short hikes, some walk-in primitive camping, and a big "enchanted" rock to "climb" —
Lots of pics of Enchanted Rock State Park — http://tinyurl.com/k6xhx2j
Pedernales State Park is another place near Austin with short hikes and walk-in primitive camping, plus a river (no license required to fish in Texas state parks, not even for non-residents) —
Padre Island Nat'l Seashore is nice, too. Strong winds when we camped there; sites fronting the Gulf especially good for tent-testing (broken pole) —
Check out Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood, about half hour SE of Austin.
That's for eating (BYOB), not camping (but there's a campground with primitive sites along Onion Creek, right across the road from the Salt Lick – how convenient is that!).Jun 16, 2013 at 9:11 pm #1997326

Thinking out of the box in Austin could spring about some fresh "microadventures", a term Alistair Humphreys coined for his adventures that are: "close to home, cheap, simple, short, and yet very effective".
Here's a quote from his website that I enjoy.
"You do not need to fly to the other side of the planet to do an expedition.
You do not need to be an elite athlete, expertly trained, or rich to have an adventure.
Adventure is only a state of mind.
Adventure is stretching yourself; mentally, physically or culturally. It is about doing what you do not normally do, pushing yourself hard and doing it to the best of your ability.
And if that is true then adventure is all around us, at all times. Even during hard financial times such as these. Times, I believe, when getting out into the wild are more enjoyable, invigorating and important than ever."
Get to the core of what draws you outside and you'll probably find it in and around Austin.Jun 16, 2013 at 11:22 pm #1997342

Enchanted rock
Colorado bend
Big bend
You can google them. The basin at big bend is actually ok in the summer. It is in the mountains so you usually avoid the 80 degree nights.
All the state parks in and around central texas and the hill country are smaller. I can do them with a day each, but if you are looking for some bag nites they can work fine. Just not so great from may-August. But November – April are fine. You can enjoy mainly empty parks in the winter which is nice.
Don't let all the bashing of Texas get you down. The hill country is gorgeous, lots of biking, and Austin will probably suit you. It's liberal, young, and vibrant. Great music scene. Also the airport is close and easy if you need to escape.Jun 17, 2013 at 1:40 am #1997346
Yep, Hill Country around Austin is great! Especially bluebonnets in the Spring.

Agreed heartily with Michael L's list of places and seasons. Of particular note, Enchanted Rock becomes a truly enchanted wonderland after a good storm. I've made it a point in the last few years to get out there if I ever see big weather coming to the region over the weekend. The whole granite scene comes alive with flowing water through every ravine and fissure in the monolith — it's a sight to behold.
Basically if you want to get away for a quick night or two, you're limited to backpacking in the small-ish state parks and natural areas that are within 1-3 hours drive from Austin. Most good things are west of Austin, since going east quickly takes you into a rather boring and long coastal plain(ish) that stretches on down to the gulf of mexico. East-southeast, I guess you'd say.
Of those little state parks within weekend-shot of Austin, my favorites are consistently Lost Maples, Enchanted Rock, and Hill Country State Natural Area. Generally, unfortunately, you'll be required to bring your own water on whatever trip you take through those areas. But hey, it's just a night or two, and you can't hike more than 5-10 miles through those places.
Further afield of Austin, there are good opportunities in: Big Bend, Guadalupe Mountains, and Snake River. The lattermost, I've never visited, but I've at least heard promising things about it. Big Bend is, I might hazard, the best backpacking in the state, and it will take you at least 2-3 trips to really exhaust the main route possibilities there, which is great. If you're hardy and don't mind carrying a lot of water, you could probably spend a couple of years hiking through the less-traveled desert routes out there.
Finally, as Eugene said earlier — when I want to do some real backpacking, I get on over to the lower rockies in NM. The drive is somewhere between 10 and 14 hours, depending on where exactly you're headed. Getting up the interstate to Colorado doesn't take much longer than that, once you're already in NM. The possibilities in those state, of course, are endless. My favorite areas in NM are Pecos and Wheeler Peak, which can both easily be reached in the timeframe given above.
And THEN finally, within Austin, there are numerous DIAD activities that will keep you exploring for years. There are caves to crawl through; there's the waterfront with kayaking, canoing, and stand-up paddleboarding; there's running along about a dozen different trails, from easy crushed granite along the waterfront to the backwoods of Bull Creek; and if you want to challenge yourself with some day-hike training, you can yo-yo the entire Barton Creek Greenbelt for a total distance of 14 miles. Then, after those things … there are a thousand other things. Rock climbing at about 10 different crags in the Austin area, or three different indoor gyms. A vibrant biking scene with numerous weekly social rides or more serious training groups. The list goes on and on.
Not to mention, Austin is probably overall one of the most hip cities in the whole country. This is somewhat of a recent phenomenon, as the city that I grew up in (in the 80s and 90s) was somewhat undiscovered and still a *little bit* quiet. But now it's roaring and growing and fuming with new fancy restaurants, thousands of live music performances every month, events downtown and in the public spaces every weekend, huge festivals that draw giant crowds from around the country, and just lots of really cool people doing experimental, innovative, progressive things. All while staying relatively chill, un-starched, and playful. It's really a neat town.
The only downside to all this, is it's becoming rather expensive to live anywhere near the center of town. And Austin natives like myself are becoming somewhat of a rarity.
Hope this is helpful :-)Jun 18, 2013 at 8:02 am #1997658

Don't misguide this lady into thinking there is no backpacking in Texas! 20 miles north of Austin is the good water trail, a 26 mile loop around Lake Georgetown, one of my favorite venues. Back country hiking at its finest, courtesy of the Army corp of engineers. There's a smaller trail in Roundrock, a 8 mile trail at nails creek, Hill Counrty state natural area, and less than 4 hours away you have the 120 mile long Lone Star Trail as well as the Davy Crocket national forest.
Then check out http://www.hillcountryconservancy.org/land-projects/violetcrowntrail/, the new thirty mile trail in the Austin area.
There are other little gems as well ….
PS …. You are only about 12 hours away from the southern terminus of the AT as wellJun 20, 2013 at 8:40 am #1998351
Thanks everyone! This is very helpful!
I have spent a great deal of time in Austin over the past decade, and my brother and I have taken the dogs on lots of cool "green belts" and state parks…including enchanted rock. Some nice little gems around there. I guess I pretty much assumed that with the lack of public lands in the state the wouldn't be much for backcountry overnighters….
Now on to my original point as well…I don't know anyone there except my brother, sister in law and niece. Soooo….if anyone is up for joining me on a trip I'd be game :)
It would be nice to meet some backpacking/gear nerd peeps……

text: Well, I'm loving my new truck but it has had a starting, and no power problem since I bought it a couple of weeks ago. The previous owner knew about the problem and even uad the fuel pressure regulator replaced in hope that it would fix the problem. You can hear the fuel pump kick on and run for a few seconds when you turn the key on, but most of the time the truck will not start until the second attempt. It also feels like it has very little power on take off. If I let it sit for a few minutes after I shut it off and depress the Schrader valve on the fuel rail I get nothing. If I do it with the engine running then obviously I get fuel. Im thinking the check valve in the pump assembly is toast and not allowing any fuel pressure to remian in the line. What do you guys think? Oh yeah, almost forgot. The fuel filter has been replaced also. The truck is a 2003 Silverado 2500HD 4wd with a 6.0L and 5 speed manual.

I've just pulled shallow supers & the queen has laid in some of them.

I've just pulled shallow supers & the queen has laid in some of them.

I was wanting the drawn comb for the next honey flow.(If there ever is such a thing).>>>>MARK
Everybody teels me that the queen won't cross capped honey in the top brood chamber, but that ain't always true. My queen put some brood in my shallow. I guess the only way to keep her out is put an excluder on. My bees were slow to draw the comb above the excluder. I tried putting the new medium above the old shallow and below it and as long as I had the excluder on, they didn't do much. I removed the excluder and let them draw the comb. Next time I check, I expect that the medium will be fully drawn and I can replace the excluder to let the brood hatch.
Mark, I would probably just put it back on a colony so they could either hatch the brood out if it's still alive or clean it out if it has died. You might try putting it over some kind of inner cover or board with a hole in it to discourage storage in the comb. Down here in Mobile I don't have to worry about much new nectar being stored this time of year. If they do store in the comb, you can always set it out under a tree after the brood is cleared out for the bees to clean.
Rob Koss
I'm like you beegee I don't like to use excluder's.
But some of my supers that I've done removed has brood & pollen stored in them.
what is the best way to remove it so next season I can use it for honey supers?>>>>MARK
Thank's ikeepbees: you posted your replie at about the same time that I responed to beegee.Thank's again>>>>mark
I figure if they are expanding the brood nest it's either because the queen found some drone sized cells up there or there wasn't enough room in the current brood nest. Mabye you need another brood box. The queen goes all over the hive and if she sees somplace she wants to lay she will, but mostly she likes to keep the brood nest compact.
It may just be the queen,I've checked both brood box's & they are room in both of them.
She has laid in the center all the way up into 2 super's.
None of them is honey bound are anything like that.there is plenty of room on the side's >>>>MARK
Hi Mark,
You already know what I'm going to say :> )Apparently she wanted the room. I don't use ULBN for nothing. But try reversing and putting her down on such queens. As for brood in the supers. I take it you have them removed already. Use a capping fork and take the tines and slide under brood cappings and pull the brood out if you are concerned. Or let the bees remove the brood. Or are you trying to save this brood?
Thank's Clay: I'm not trying to save the brood ,
Was just wanting the comb for next years honey crop.I also left them 2 supers on when I robbed until I could decide what to do with it.>>>>MARK
Hi Mark,
I wouldn't put a super on a hive unless it had an excluder. I believe if the hive is really strong and full of bees and ready to make surplus honey , the bees will cross into the excluder supers. Me or my friends haven't had any problems and it avoids problems like the one you have. Mark tell Mr Mcary I just love his cordovans their real honey making machines and very gentle too.. Im really enjoying them.
The last honey super I took off was directly above a full size plastic queen excluder and the frames held foundation when I put it on. This shallow super was full of honey but one frame had about a dozen sealed drones on each side. Is this normal or is this an indication that I have a problem ? The rest of the brood in this hive is normal and I have all stages but I was unable to find the queen. These eggs must have been laid by a worker.
This super is now on top of the inner cover for cleaning and I wonder if the drone brood will be removed and if not should I try to clean it out before winter storage ?
I would remove the drone brood or some worker bees will move into that super to care for the brood. Bees will not abandon brood.
It is possible that a worker layed these. But if there is a strong laying queen this is doubtful. It is also possible that the queen got through the excluder and layed them and then returned. A small queen can get through an excluder.

Isn't Urijah the name of the guy in the Old Testament who was supposed to guide the Ark of the Covenant back to Israel, but they put it on a cart instead of carrying it with the poles? So when it tipped, he steadied it with his hand, and then God struck him dead? Or was he another Uriah? I thought the name was similar...
I agree with the others. I don't really see urine/urinal/etc., but so many people do that even if I do see the appeal of Uriah (and maybe Urijah--I like Uriah more), I would never use it because that association is so overwhelming.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Uriah/Urijah is more attractive, IMO! The short form Uri is a guilty pleasure of mine; I probably wouldn't use it because of the association with unfortunate words. I once saw the boy/boy twinset Lucius and Uri suggested (I think here on Nameberry), and fell in love. They share the meaning "light.""He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names."

Acai - Nature's Antioxidant Berry
Acai (pronounced Ah-Sigh-ee) is the newest nutritional secret to be revealed to the modernized world. Harvested in the Amazon Rain Forest, from palm trees, the Acai berry has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes.
Recently, scientists discovered that the very dark purple pigments in Acai berries contain anthocyanidins, antioxidants that contribute to its very high ORAC (oxygen-radical absorbance capacity) value. ORAC is a new measurement of antioxidant potential.
For years, it was believed that blueberries had the highest ORAC value. We now know that Acai berries have twice the ORAC value of blueberries. Therefore, Acai can be considered the Super Berry for Good Health!

Tips for Choosing a Web Hosting Service
The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a web host is your needs: just like it wouldn't make sense to use a smaller web host if you're building a huge website that requires multiple servers, it wouldn't make sense to pay for a lot of storage and features you're not going to use if you're launching a small blog. If you are planning on starting with a small site that will become very large, your best bet is to choose a basic package with unlimited disk space, which will give you enough space for all of the pages you'd like to have and make you to accessible through search engines. When your website expands, you'll always have the option of switching to a large host later to accommodate your traffic.
The more you know about the different features and publishing tools that are available, the more you can make your website an inviting environment for visitors. Also, try to grasp the more complex technological specs of each web host. Even if it sounds like jargon to you now, it will begin to make more and more sense as start understanding the different features each host offers.
Once you feel grounded in these technological aspects, make sure your website has features in place to find the customers that you're trying to reach. Almost all web hosts provide means of reaching consumers through free advertisement credits. Shopping carts and multiple email addresses can have a big impact on how professional you look to interested consumers. Checking security features would also be a good idea if you're trying to set up a small shopping website, as well as CMS availability and integration for each web host. Remember, the more you know, the better website you'll ultimately have.
Web Hosting Prices
Many web hosting services let you choose from several types of packages, each with a different price and slightly different range of offerings. The prices can range from $4.25/month to over $40/month. These price differentials can be attributed to the different features included within each plan and to the eagerness of some newer hosting companies, such as iPage, to grow their brand by offering extremely low rates. In order to help you stay within your budget, we've compared the prices of the best web hosting services of 2012 across all the plans they offer.
Bandwidth and Disk Space
Even if you're planning a small site, you should look for a minimum of 5 GB of disk space and 250 GB of bandwidth from your web hosting plan. While this may be enough for most websites, it's important to note that many web hosts such as FatCow are offering an unlimited amount of both at a price that's comparable to more limited plans. Our side-by-side comparison shows what each host offers to help you decide which plan will best suit your needs.
Ease of Use
Choosing an easy-to-use web host is particularly important if you are new to web hosting. We set up accounts with several web hosting services and used each control panel for a variety of tasks in order to evaluate the ease of use. Since only StartLogic lets you test out their control panel with a free demo, we've recorded our findings to help you determine which control panel will be easiest for you to use.
Customer Support
Both web professionals and novice webmasters will likely need assistance from their web host's customer support staff at some point. Since nearly every hosting company promises impeccable support, we put them to the test to show you how helpful and friendly each support team truly was. We tested the hold times, relevance of the response and politeness of both phone and chat representatives. We also tested the email responses of each web host. Finally, we surveyed the self-help services offered by each web host, in case you prefer to find answers independently.
Standard Web Hosting Features
One thing that tends to complicate the decision of choosing a web host is the large (and often unnecessary) features list that each service provides. Although price, bandwidth and disk space are often the biggest determining factors, it's also important to evaluate what other features and add-ons each host offers. Our comprehensive features comparison will help you determine which host offers the features you want. Or, if you're not sure exactly which features your website will need, take a look at our comparison to determine which ones sound helpful and which ones may not be worth the added expense.
Uptime and Page Load Time
Of primary importance to the success of your website is whether or not your visitors will be able to load your site's pages quickly and to see at a glance what your site is all about. While we found iPage to live up to it's 100% uptime guarantee, we were surprised to see that HostGator fell short of it's 99% guarantee. We tested the uptime and page load time of the best hosting services to help you determine which ones are more reliable.

Chronology of my "interventions" in the past weeks:
June 8 (21 days ago) - did a full hive inspection, frame by frame through both hive bodies (and posted detailed photos here), lots of evidence of new egg laying, and all stages of larvae. First year package hive is booming, two deep 8-frame hive bodies close to full. I stopped feeding sugar and added my first honey super.
June 16 (13 days ago) - did not pull any frames in either hive body, I did have the honey super off the top so I could add a SHB trap to the top of the upper hive body (between frame top bars). I rarely see SHB in this hive, but adding the trap in the heat of summer seemed advisable based on what I have read.
June 23 (6 days ago) - poked around in upper hive body, pulled a few frames from top hive body, lots of brood, and scattered pockets of larvae in evidence, did not see any evidence of new laying on these 2-3 frames I inspected, but I was not too concerned as my queen has been rocking along producing great, I did spill the SHB-trap's mineral oil down onto the the frames (and bees) below, but I would not have thought that could be enough oil to drawn anyone on the frames below, or that the mineral oil spill could hurt the bees below?
June 29 (today) - Yikes! Went through most frames in both hive bodies, could not find ANY sign of new laying. I have some patches of uncapped medium-sized larvae - so my queen was at least laying here in the past 5-7 days? My bees were not exactly "mean" today, but they were more agitated than usual, the most displeased that I have yet seen them, I was stung today for the first time since I hived this package the first week of April.
My inspection on the 23rd was minimal and not rough, I only pulled a couple frames and only peeked into the top hive body, and didn't see signs of queen activity on those frames, so I assumed she was not nearby, and that I would not have rolled her between frames that day? All of my previous forays into the hive bodies and brood areas were long enough ago, that if I clumsily had damaged my queen then, I would not have the uncapped larvae that I have now...?
Also today, there was a bit of capped drone comb at the bottom of a frame in the top hive body, and two queen cups (not capped) at the bottom of this frame near/with the drone comb, built hanging off the side, but also down against the bottom bar of the frame. I let the bees keep the open queen cells when they build them, but since these were burr-comb-ish, hanging against the bottom of the frame, I scraped them off. None of the (few) queen cells/pods in my hive appeared to be capped, but when I scraped this burr-ish one I was just describing (with the drone comb) off the bottom of the frame, I pulled out a pupae (which, I *think* was from the drone comb and not from the queen cell - but this was also the first frame I pulled today, I did this scraping before I got into the hive and realized I don't seem to have ANY new laying activity, and before I started fearing for the condition of my queen). Now I am wondering if I have undone the girls attempt to create a new queen for themselves, if they are in fact now queen-less. If they have lost their queen, wouldn't I be seeing a lot of new queen cup building on the brood they had?
Lots of new bees have emerged in the past couple of weeks. I had much capped brood during the full inspection posted photos of on June 8th, so she has space to lay now (if she is still in there and healthy). After my hive was so jammed up with brood and nectar stores back in early June, is there a chance the hive is having her slow down on laying and that she is taking a little "break". It has been really hot here +100 frequently in the past week or two, (I do have screened bottom board and screened/vented inner cover on), and I understand that July/August is a down time here between typical spring and fall nectar flows - would the bees take a break in rearing brood during that down time - is there any chance my queen is still in the hive and okay? What could have happened to her in the hive (if I didn't damage her)?
What do you all think, do need to go buy/pick-up a new queen? I am pretty hopeless at finding my queen, obviously I didn't see her today, as well.


text: I would like to add rear climate control to my suburban. Not anything crazy. Just roof or floor vents for my munchkins in the back. The weather here in the frozen north is, well, frozen. So the climate control up front keeps me kinda warm, but I worry about them more than myself. I was thinking about just getting a blower motor that will push mode cfm of air and not take too much modification. Then just going behind the dash and running some air ducts through my center console to the back for them. I have insulated the vehicle as much as I can, but it doesn't help if I can't get the internal temperature to a comfortable point in the back. Also, does anyone know of a cheap way to seal my doors a little better. Have replaced the weather stripping, but still feel a breezd coming in through the seals at 35mph. Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for the long post.

That's a pickle
If you don't know how to dry or bottle produce that you can't eat, consult somebody's aunt or grandmother. If you have excess, pickle or bottle something once a week.
Store with relish
Slow-roasted tomatoes will keep well packed in oil, while courgettes and beans are easy to freeze. Check out old family recipe books for chutney and relish recipes.
In a bind
Grab ties and stakes and tie up anything that's in a state of collapse, from tomatoes to beans to grapevines.
Mildew begone
When powdery mildew appears on your courgettes and other plants, give them a spray with a mix of 5g bicarbonate of soda in 600mls of water.

Synopsys Rising: FYQ2 Beats; Q3 View Light, Year View In Line
Shares of electronic design software maker Synopsys (SNPS) are up $1.25, or 3.5%, at $36.65, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q2 revenue and profit per share that topped analysts' estimates, forecast this quarter's results below consensus, and the full year in line with expectations.
Revenue in the three months ended in April rose 15%, year over year, to $499.3 million, yielding EPS of 66 cents.
Analysts on average were modeling $496 million and 63 cents.
Synopsys CEO Aart de Geus called the quarter's results "strong," adding that "The latest silicon technologies offer high value but also great technical challenges. Because of this, more and more customer executives are sharing with us where they are heading and how Synopsys can help them succeed, leading to robust demand and market momentum."
For the current quarter, the company models $475 million to $485 million in revenue, and EPS of 53 cents to 55 cents. That is below consensus of $496 million and 57 cents.
For the full year, the company sees revenue in a range of $1.96 billion to $1.98 billion, and EPS in a range of $2.37 to $2.42. That is more or less in line with consensus for $1.97 billion and $2.40 per share.
Although the revenue number is unchanged from the prior year forecast, the EPS range offered is above the projection for $2.35 to $2.40 offered back on February 20th.

Terra Creta Flavored Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Thousands of years ago, Greeks used aromatic olive oil both for cooking and cosmetic purposes. Terra Creta S.A. has given rebirth to this almost forgotten tradition, offering you all the benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil of the highest quality enriched with aromatic herbs. The exquisite bottles that contain it are emblematic of the quality at hand.
As an introduction, we quote a passage by olive-tasting connoisseur, Kersten Wetenkamp, as published in the esteemed German gastronomical magazine "Der Feinschmecker" (8/2005 issue) about our cretan olive oil :
"The state-of-the-art-equipped firm of Terra Creta S.A. sets new standards of quality in the production of olive oil in Greece. The harvesting methods of the olive crop at the most suitable moment of the year in the renowned region of Kolymvari and its pressing process in hi-tech installations beget such olive oil that has astounded the committee of taste specialists. One's experienced and refined sense of smell perceives a plethora of fragrances, ranging from grass and wild herbs to the blossoms of oranges, lemons, of unripe tomato, wild garlic and vine leaves. An astringent nuance and a spicy finish exquisitely fulfill the taste.
First Prize at Panhellenic Contest for Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2007
During the 2nd Panhellenic Contest for Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2007, organized by the cultural foundation "Routes of the Olive Tree" in cooperation with the Greek Ministry of Development, Terra Creta's PDO Kolymvari won the 1st Prize at the Medium Fruitiness category. Terra Creta SA has won also the 1st Prize in the 1st competition on 2004.
Olive Oil Contest by the Greek magazine Olive & Olive Oil
The specialized magazine Olive & Olive Oil established a sensory evaluation contest of all olive oils sold in Greek supermarkets. The evaluation is done by a committee constituted by 5 certified and experienced tasters. The highest score an olive oil can achieve is 9. Terra Creta's product PDO Kolymvari Chania Crete Extra Virgin Olive Oil has the highest score (8,3) from all the olive oils tested so far.
Best Exporting Companies of Crete Award
On May 2007, Terra Creta SA was honored by Crete's Exporters Association with the prize of the Best Exporting Companies of Crete. Terra Creta SA with its rapid growth has achieved in very short time to become one of the major exporting companies of the island of Crete.
First International Olio Award 2005
Out of 800 olive oils from all over the world, Terra Creta S.A.'s Extra Virgin Olive Oil labeled as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) received first prize during the 2005 international competition organized by the world- renowned gastronomical magazine Der Feinschmecker.
First PanHellenic Award 2004
During the Panhellenic olive oil Taster's Competition, held under the aegis of the International Olive Oil Committee in 2004, Terra Creta S.A.'s Extra Virgin Olive Oil was awarded First Prize in the Medium Fruitiness Category.
- - Consistent, unparalleled quality : Throughout its history the same region of Kolymvari, has been producing the same variety of olive crop (the Coronian olive) employing the same methods of cultivation and harvesting - an unaltered tradition bequeathed from generation to generation. The result : the highest and most constant quality of produce. olives - virgin olive oil
- - The absolute traceability of the product, which clearly depicts its step by step conveyance from the grove to the consumer's kitchen.
- - The most up-to-date installations and equipment. Certified safety-hygiene system (HACCP-ISO 22000:2005-IFS VERSION 4) and quality management.
- - An innovation in itself is that every consignment of cretan olive oil is automatically labeled as to the particular elements that define its quality. We thus inform our consumers, enabling them not only to assess it by the highest standards as ordained by the EU, but also to compare it against any other corresponding products.

So far this year it has been raining almost everyday and my new (this year) migratory covers are leaking.
Not a lot, but enough that I am getting mildew on the inside surface and on some of the frames and every time I open the cover to check the bees I see water droplets hanging from the wood. These covers where painted with four coats of oil based finish and held up for the first several weeks but have now opened up and are no longer water tight.
Yes, I know about telescopic covers and their are million other ways to stop water if that was all I wanted but I think they are pretty hideous aesthetic wise and since my hives are right next to my tower house and part of the over all look of my property I want something that fits in with the medieval/industrial style that everything else on my property has.
I also don't want something as huge and heavy looking as some of the bee roofs I've seen. I really liked the clean, simple look of a wooden migratory cover but since that has failed to do its primary job and looking for something to take its place.
I have a few ideas of my own but I thought I would ask you guys and see if anyone has come up with a simple, effective cover that doesn't look like the top off a chest freezer and would look okay on a bare wood langstroth.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Me and my friends had a lovely stay in flat c. The appartement was sentral and clean. We felt safe. The balkony was fantastic,and if it had had enough chairs for all five, it would have been even better. The host was very eager to help with our questions. We will come back
We enjoyed our stay in this nice and well equipped apartment. The only issue was we only received one set of keys for the apartment and therefore detailed planning was required when we spilt up in groups.
The house is fantastic. Very cozy and with everything you need to not throw anything missing. Peter was very friendly. Very well connected. The neighborhood is very quiet and there are many shops in the inmediaciones.Lo recommend and would definitely repeat.
La casa es fantástica. Muy acogedora y con todo lo necesario para que no eches nada en falta. Peter fue muy amable. Muy bien comunicada. El barrio es muy tranquilo y existen muchas tiendas en las inmediaciones.Lo recomiendo y sin duda volvería a repetir.
Great room, great location, we did everything by bus from the end of the street! The house is beautiful, decorated with taste and originality, very well equipped, comfortable beds. This is our first experience in housing or other that Hotel aparthotel and we are seduced by the warm and friendly side of the concept. Everything was at our arrival, laundry soap, toilet paper ... and there is the basic groceries, tea ... Peter is adorable and was present when we arrived, available whenever needed. The children just loved the house, and if we go back it will be here! Thank you!
Séjour génial, emplacement idéal, nous avons tout fait en bus depuis le bout de la rue ! La maison est superbe, décorée avec goût et originalité, très bien équipée, lits confortables. C'est notre première expérience en logement autre qu'hotel ou apparthotel, et nous sommes séduit par le côté convivial et chaleureux du concept. Tout était présent à notre arrivée, lessive, savon, papier hygiénique... et il y a la base en épicerie, thé... Peter est adorable et était présent à notre arrivée, disponible dès que besoin. Quant aux enfants ont tout simplement adoré la maison, et si nous revenons ça sera ici ! Merci !
Hello Peter and Rowan,
it was very hot in this week when the prince has been born and we were very glad and confident to have a break from sightseeing and shopping in your house in Barlby gardens with a small garden, a nice leafy bower. It was a pleasure to live for some days in this rooms, arranged and furnished with fantasy and taste. Great to go by bus No 23 through Notting Hill to Piccadilly Circus, A nice way for low-price-sightseeing. Portobello Market is only 5 minutes to walk, great! It was easy to get the key and give it back, it was clean and the kitchen was full equipped, maybe you will buy some more spoons?! Thanks for all!
Beautiful cottage with a romantic little garden bouquet to welcome on the dining table, beautiful details in the design of the apartment, everything was clean. Great location, short walk to Portobello Market. Ideal for 4 people for 6 people possible, but there is only one bathroom.
Wunderschönes Häuschen mit romantischem kleinen Garten, Blumenstrauß zur Begrüßung auf dem Esstisch, schöne Details in der Gestaltung der Wohnung, alles sauber. Tolle Lage, kurzer Fußweg zum Portobello Market.
Für 4 Personen ideal, für 6 Personen machbar, allerdings gibt es nur ein Badezimmer.

Just look at that guy sucking on Sophia Bush's titties. Now that's one lucky dude, and he doesn't even look as hot as Chad Michael Murray. That means we've all got a chance to score with this California cutie, I mean unless this dude's some sort of multi-millionaire who bought his way into her panties. From his looks, I don't think so though. But yeah, if I had millions of bucks, I'd definitely offer some of that moolah up to anybody who could hook me up with Sophia, or even to Sophia herself, why not? There's no need to be so choosy on how you get your cock into that sweet, tight pussy, in my opinion. I'd just like to do what this guy got to do, and fuck Sophia Bush all night long! On the couch or on the bed, and even on the floor, with Sophia naked and spreading her legs, there's no way any guy can not have an erection and be ready for some kinky carnal action with this sizzling, sexy babe.

The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) announced on April 5th that they hope to make Electronic Stability Control mandatory on all vehicles by 2012, which they predict could save up to 10,000 lives a year.While I agree that ESC and other driver aides ultimately make vehicles safer, I have to wonder if our reliance on these aides has actually made us worse drivers. I get a sense that many drivers feel their cars will save them from any mistakes they make, leading them to drive faster in unfavorable road conditions or pay less attention while driving.If we want to make our roads safer, I think we should put more emphasis on the driver, offering better bad weather training or making drivers ed courses more demanding. Agree? Disagree?
America just doesn't stress driving dynamics in the first place. Most people learn how to make emergency maneuvers the hard way in this country. Some times that works but many times it ends in failure. This could save the many who have failed. I do wonder if it would have saved a friend of mine who lost control of her car in a storm, flipped it over and is now spending the rest of her life in a wheelchair?
Agreed.All the electronic gizmos in the world won't help if there's an idiot behind the wheel.And I'm talking about college educated idiots here.I'll never forget the guy that stuffed his brand new Toyota Four Runner into a jersey barrier directly across an on ramp on I-95 because he thought he could drive as fast as he wanted too on AN INCH-AN INCH!!!!!!!- of snow!
I agree 100%. I think it's much more important that every car have side and side curtain airbags. Now that stopping for red lights seems to be a personal choice, everyone needs the protection. I don't need ESC because I don't drive like an idiot. Frankly, I don't think I really need ABS. I live in an area that rarely sees bad weather and I'd rather not have the added repair cost.

Europe's unfolding horsemeat scandal took a new twist when it emerged that key intermediaries involved in the trade appeared to be using a similar secretive network of companies to the convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout.
The Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) identified an intermediary firm, Draap Trading, based in Limassol, Cyprus, as playing a pivotal role in shipping horsemeat across Europe.
Draap has confirmed that it bought horsemeat from two Romanian abattoirs. The company sold the meat to French food processors including Spanghero, which supplied another French company, Comigel, that turned it into frozen meals for the likes of British food firm Findus, some of which had a meat content that was almost 100 per cent horse.
Draap, which is owned by a trust in the British Virgin Islands tax haven, insists the meat it sold into France was labelled as horse. Spanghero says the meat arrived labelled "beef".
Jan Fasen, who runs Draap and has denied any wrongdoing, was convicted last year of selling South American horsemeat as German and Dutch beef.
In a development that sheds light on the mysterious networks operating in the European food chain, it has emerged that Draap's sole director is an anonymous corporate services company called Guardstand, set up in 1996 and based in Limassol. A 2011 joint report by the International Peace Information Service and TransArms, an organisation which researches arms shipments, produced evidence Guardstand also owned a share in a business called Ilex Ventures, a connection that links the company to the global arms trade and Viktor Bout.
Documents filed in a New York court by US prosecutors allege that in 2007 Bout and an associate transferred almost US$750,000 to Ilex for the purchase of aircraft to fly arms and ammunition around Africa's trouble spots in breach of embargos.
The prosecutors said Ilex was owned and controlled by Bout, an international weapons dealer known as the "merchant of death", who last April was sentenced to 25 years in jail for arms smuggling.
But who owns Guardstand and why Draap employs it as a director is a mystery that is likely to be studied closely by fraud investigators. Guardstand's sole shareholder is Trident Trust, a business based in Cyprus that specialises in establishing companies in tax havens chiefly for Russian and Ukrainian clients and which helped set up Ilex.
Petros Livanios, who runs Trident and was once a director of Ilex, declined requests for an interview.
While there is no suggestion anyone at Trident was aware Guardstand may have been exploited by criminal networks, the opaque nature of its ownership will be a concern for investigators trying to unpick the web of interests that facilitate Europe's meat trade.
Cyprus has been a favourite place through which former Soviet bloc oligarchs and military chiefs have laundered cash plundered from the privatisation programme of state assets that followed the end of the Cold War.
The scandal, which started when authorities in the UK and Ireland found equine DNA in supermarket burgers, has raised concerns that criminal networks may be playing a role in the food chain. Several slaughtermen in the UK have been arrested in connection with the scandal.

This is the only thing that we have to look forward too.....
Round 1 Alec Ogletree, ILB Georgia . Giants have a major weakness at Linebacker, especially in the middle. Blackburn has been serviceable and Herzlich has not proven to be an NFL starter. Ogletree is a beast in the middle, with great instincts.
Round 2 Margus Hunt, DE SMU .. Giant! He is a monster with top-notch athletic ability. He has a non-stop motor, loves to get physical and he has a sweet name. Osi is gone, Tuck cant stay healthy and JPP cannot do it alone.
Round 3 Jesse Williams, DT Alabama . Monster in the middle. He is excellent against the run and based off the Giants inability to stop the run this year, he can provide a need. Joseph has turned into a great player, Canty may be nearing the end, Bernard is most likely done and Austin is still trying to learn the NFL game. Williams would be a fantastic addition.
Round 4 Jordan Reed, TE Florida His game resembles Aaron Hernandez. He is too big for CBs and too fast for Safeties. Great hands and a great route runner that is still learning the TE position. The Giants have a responsibility to maintain weapons for Eli, while he is playing at this level. Bennett has been a great addition, but he is a FA and may not return. If the Giants can resign Bennett and bring in another weapon like Reed, then this gives Eli so many options.
Round 5 Ricky Wagner, OT Wisconsin . Montae Ball is statistically one of the great RBs in NCAA history. There is a reason for that and Wagner was a big part of it. He is a massive guy that does a fantastic job in run blocking. RT is a big need for the Giants. DD is done, Locklear is rehabbing and Brewer is a useless. Wagner would be a great addition.
Round 6 Michael Dyer, RB Arkansas State Former Auburn standout and one of the top recruits out of High School. He has some off the field issues, but he could really be a steal in the draft. Bradshaw is a tough dude, but he cannot stay healthy. Wilson has been playing well as of late, but he needs to improve quickly. Dyer would just bring another weapon to the backfield.
Round 7 Alex Carder, QB Western Michigan Excellent passer that could be a nice development project for the Giants. Carr is all but useless on this roster and I question his ability to come off the bench and perform. Bringing in a young kid, that has had some success in football and wants to learn, is something that Giants should look into. Carder lost his top wideout Jordan White last year, so his numbers seem down.

Verbosity is the ability, limited in the general population, to utilize words which may be archaic, lengthy, and in the English language are more often than not based in Latin. Quite often, the phrases used in such a manner are synonymous with much more succinct forms. In addition to the expansive vocabulary utilized, prose which is deemed 'verbose' will quite often feature parenthetical phrases in unusual frequency, as might be found in scientific journals or university textbooks. Though accepted in academic contexts for its ability to explain, in great detail, concepts which may seem rather complex to the average layperson, the overuse of excessive verbosity will often cause common folk, especially those who might be afflicted with the neurological disorder known as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), to lose interest in the concepts being explained, and thus the knowledge they might gain would be lost to them. Moderation, therefore, is the key to the proper usage of verbosity.
It's good for padding English essays, and there's a type of thread on 4chan that shows up every once in a while where people talk like that for the lulz.

It means to talk about things in great detail, listing every facet of their being. Also to have the ability to speak at great lengths about nothing.
