The Destination
On British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, about two hours from Vancouver by car and ferry, the glassy waters of the Sechelt Inlet reflect the old-growth forests, Coast Mountains, and soaring bald eagles that fill the skies of this quintessential Pacific Northwest locale. Seeing double has never felt so good.
The Digs
Overlooking the water just north of Sechelt, The Tuwanek Hotel and Spa delivers a luxury hospitality experience in the heart of this awe-inspiring landscape. The hotel's elegant Sunset Beach Suite recalls classic movies with its canopy bed, warm fireplace, walk-in shower, and private oceanfront deck. The Wildberry and Treehouse cottages, meanwhile, set the scene for romance. These cozy abodes have full kitchens, open living areas, and wood-burning fireplaces. Watch the sunset from your private deck before taking a moonlit dip in your outdoor hot tub.
Want a truly decadent experience? Upgrade to a king top-floor oceanfront suite like the African Queen or the Casa Blanca, or a deluxe cottage for an additional $80 total. The Herons Return Cottage, Timberloft Cottage, Creekside Cottage, and Tuwanek Waterfront Cottage, for example, boast multiple bedrooms, spa bathrooms, media rooms, and some even feature a gourmet kitchen. All have private hot spa tubs.
The Diversions
Choose from more than 300 titles to screen in the movie theater, or try your luck at the fun slots or pool table in the game room. The pampering continues when you visit At the Waters Edge Spa, where you'll receive a $50 credit. Eminence massages, salty sea scrubs, and refreshing facials are just a few of its organic offerings.
In the warmer months, check out the rapids at Skookumchuck, or try paddleboarding, paddleboating, or sea kayaking—the latter of which you'll do at a discount with included credits from Pedals and Paddles. When the weather turns colder, cross-country ski along the powdered trails that crisscross Dakota Ridge Recreation Area. And at night, tuck into seasonal farm-to-fork fare at the The Blue Heron Restaurant, boasting sprawling ocean views and a 32-seat patio.
"Situated right on the ocean, you can't help but melt into a puddle of relaxation. ... The food is something I literally felt guilty about, like the rest of the world was not eating as well as we were at that moment. Worth every penny."-- TripAdvisor

You know what America needs? More jobs, that's what.
Not Walmart-style "jobettes," but real jobs. We need more stable employment with a good salary and benefits, union jobs so workers have a say in what goes on, and jobs that have strong protections against discrimination.
This country needs more jobs that help launch workers into a career, in which you do useful work, take pride in it, earn promotions, and are respected for what you do.

Education and Information
Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths for women in the United States. With advances in diagnostic information and increases in patient education, we can detect breast cancer early, while it is still very small and highly treatable. Currently, two-thirds of newly diagnosed breast cancers show no signs that the cancer has spread.
How to Prepare for a Mammogram
While the mammogram is a short test, there are a few things you can do to help simplify the procedure.
- Bring previous mammogram films if you were tested at a different facility.
- Do not apply powder, creams, or deodorant on the day of the mammogram as they may contain substances that could interfere with the accuracy of the x-rays.
- Wear a top with a skirt or slacks since you will be asked to remove your top and bra.

One of the most common requests I get from readers of this blog, many of whom are musicians and most of whom are somehow involved in the music business, is to review music. My solution is to have people send a CD to this address:
Tuned In Broadcasting, Inc.
ATTN: Music Business Radio
1310 Clinton St. Suite 200
Nashville, TN 37203
Yes, send a CD. Yes, via postal mail.
I know attaching an mp3 file to an email is faster. I know it's a pain in the ass to burn a CD, put it in a padded envelope, and go to the post office. I have my reasons though...
The big one is that I need some kind of filter from music that shouldn't be released, because the majority of musicians and writers aren't taking that responsibility upon themselves. They have a "churn and burn" philosophy and will send everything they've got, even if it's not ready to be released, hoping that something will break through the noise. They treat the music business and songwriting like a lottery -- the more "entries" you submit, the better your odds are.
The way to break through the noise isn't by adding more noise.
I once did a film project and had an offer from a writer to send "1000 songs."
Music doesn't work that way. Less is more.
A good songwriter isn't like a guy on an assembly line, who gets paid by the piece, and can double his money by working twice as much. "1000 songs" isn't worth anything compared to a single great song, because unlike widgets made on an assembly line, songs aren't identical in either quality or earning potential.
Think about this the next time you submit your music for something. Focus on the great, not the average.
And that brings me to my second reason for taking CDs via postal mail...
By not accepting digital files, I'm giving you an opportunity to be great. You can only stand out so much when you submit a text email that looks like what everybody else is sending. But when you send a physical package in the mail, you have an opportunity to get both creative and personal in ways that email can't come close to.
So get your best song together, get your best package together, and send something memorable to me at the address above. I'll play it on Music Business Radio and review both your package and your music on the air alongside one of my music industry guests.

Excerpt: "General manager Dave Caldwell said Friday it would be ''relatively surprising'' to have Blackmon back on the field this fall.
''It's not something that we're counting on,'' Caldwell said at the team's annual predraft luncheon. ''It would be something that would be relatively surprising. Haven't gotten a whole lot of updates from the league where he's at or from Justin, to be honest with you.''
Blackmon is suspended indefinitely without pay for repeated violations of the league's substance abuse policy.
He was previously suspended the first four games of last year for violating the policy. He played four games before getting suspended again - at least for a year." Read more...

Prineville police chief gets new Guard post
This one is with U.S. forces in South Korea
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - Prineville Police Chief Eric Bush will be spending some time in Korea in coming months, in his second role -- as an Oregon Army National Guard brigadier general.
The Oregon Military Department said Monday that Bush, commander of the 82 Brigade Troop Command, has been assigned as the Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff, J-3, United Nations Command/Combined Forces Command/United States Forces Korea.
In his new role, Bush will work directly with another Oregonian, Maj. Gen. David B. Enyeart, who is the Chief of Staff, J-3, United Nations Command/Combined Forces Command/United States Forces Korea. Enyeart has held the position since February 2012.
The mission of the CJ3 is to provide operational direction for all Republic of Korea and U.S. Forces assigned to and under the operational control of the Commander, United Nations Command/Combined Forces Command/United States Forces Korea/Ground Component Command to properly train and prepare ROK and U.S. Alliance Forces.
Both Enyeart and Bush have also served as law enforcement officers in their respective communities; Enyeart as Toledo, Ore. police chief. Bush has served with the Prineville Police Department since 1988.
Bush is certified as a corrections officer, has worked as a narcotics detective, and, in 1997, received recognition as the Oregon Narcotics Enforcement Association Officer of the Year for his region. He is also a 1999 graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Bush holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management and Communications from Western Baptist College and a Masters Degree in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College.
He is a Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and his awards include the Combat Infantry Badge and the Bronze Star.
Col. Steven R. Beach is scheduled to assume command of the 82 Brigade Troop Command.
The United States and Korea are observing the 60th anniversary of the Korea War Armistice on July 27 with events planned in both countries. The Oregon National Guard plans to participate in the commemoration scheduled in Wilsonville.
Bush noted Monday that the role is an Army Reserve position, with "trips back and forth," and the same time commitment to the Guard he has now.
"It varies from 74 to 139 days a year," Bush told NewsChannel 21. "The biggest change is that I won't be doing traditional 'drill weekends' or an '"annual training' that is typically associated with reserve service. Rather, my time will be driven by training and operational requirements from Korea."
And he's not too worried about how things will go back home while he's out of the country.
"I have a great team here," he said, adding, "Keep in mind much of that time runs over weekends as well. "

A basic assumption of Fox News and American right wing pundits is that Muslim fanatics are powerful forces in the world and they inflame millions of people as part of their crusade against the Christian West. If one listened to Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh, Muslim militants are behind all the terrorism in the world. The incident a few years ago of a Danish cartoonist drawing pictures of the Prophet Muhammad with a turban shaped like a bomb is often cited to prove that Muslims seek to stifle freedom of speech and the press. Yesterday, a group of Muslim protestors hauled down the Swedish flag in Malaysia and demanded censorship of such cartoons. Actually, the "crowd" consisted of 200 hundred men and another protest drew about 50.
A question to pose is whether the West had wildly exaggerated the influence or power of the so called "Muslim militants." Were they ever as powerful as imagined in the West? Perhaps, inadvertently in giving notice to small groups the West has created the monster.

MSHA: No more smokers to be hired
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A local hospital system is implementing a controversial new hiring policy. Starting March 1, Mountain States Health Alliance will not hire applicants who use tobacco products.
Mountain States Health Alliance is starting a new policy -- "Beginning March 1, Mountain States will begin screening for tobacco use as part of our pre-employment screening process," explalined MSHA communications manager Teresa Hicks.
It has some Johnson City residents scratching their heads. "I don't see the need to disclose information about being a smoker or not, it's like a little bit of infringement to me," said resident Storm Ketron.
"It's really unfair to ban something that's not illegal and now you're suddenly getting punished for something you could've been doing for a really long time," said resident Heather Maxwell.
Teresa Hicks tells News 5 they're doing it for the health of their employees. "As healthcare providers, we see every day the devastating effects that tobacco has. We believe that it's our responsibility to set an example for a healthy workforce and healthy community," she said.
Current employees who use tobacco will not be fired; this change only pertains to new applicants. "For individuals who currently work for MSHA who do smoke, we offer every opportunity to help them to quit smoking. We offer free classes and we also offer reimbursement for smoking secession products," Hicks continues.
But some people we spoke with say that if they have to have the policy, it should apply to all employees. "They should set standards the same level for everyone," Heather Maxwell said.
Resident Daniel Morefield tells us, "I think it's definitely discriminatory. [Cigarettes are] a legal substance and it's like alcohol. I feel like they're going to persecute people for using one, they should have it across the board."
But Hicks defends the new policy, adding that it also benefits patients. "We have a lot of workers who work in close contact with individuals who have fragile health conditions and might be especially sensitive to cigarette smoke. Just carrying that in on healthcare providers could cause irritation to those patients," she said.
If someone who smokes tries to apply to MSHA after March 1 and does not get hired, they can try again in six months if they have quit smoking.
We spoke to Jim Wozniak with Wellmont Health System who says they do not have this policy, but they do however charge higher insurance premiums to employees who smoke.

Sweet Potato 'Beauregard Improved'
Ipomoea batatas
Introduced from a virus free clone, Sweet Potato 'Beauregard Improved' has been phenomenally popular as it is similar to the tubers on supermarket shelves. Tubers tend to be smaller Sweet Potato 'T65' but have the same distinctive salmon-orange flesh with a sweeter more pronounced flavour. Spread: up to 3m (9').
Useful links:More info
Sweet Potato 'Carolina Ruby'
Ipomoea batatas
In trials over the past 2 years, Sweet Potato 'Carolina Ruby' has shown improved vigour and more reliability in producing a crop of sweet potato tubers than 'Georgia Jet'. Tubers have a bright, ruby-red skin with a deliciously rich-flavoured orange flesh and are superb for baking, wedges and mash. This increasingly popular vegetable is well worth trying outdoors in milder areas. In colder areas they make excellent crops for a glasshouse or polytunnel. Spread: up to 3m (9').

Sweet Potato 'Duo'

Genre: Realistic fiction
Number of pages: 320
What's the basic story line?
This is the story of a girl, Rachel, who is trying to fit in. But it is a little tricky for her because her father can be embarrassing, and her being homeschooled doesn't allow her many opportunities to find friends. Through a series of journal entries, Rachel tells stories about her quest to turn her "old, recycled, freakish, friendless, motherless life into something shiny and new."
Are the characters believable?
The characters are believable because their emotions seem appropriate for whatever is taking place, but I didn't think the story line was entirely realistic.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this book?
I would rate this book a 6. I couldn't relate to the main character. But I really liked how the book was written using different forms of writing, such as poetry and diagrams.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A Fort Carson soldier accused of sexually assaulting children in three states will be allowed name to his twin brother as a suspect in his defense.
Aaron Lucas was in El Paso County court Friday as a judge made decisions on his upcoming trial.
Investigators said DNA evidence connects Aaron Lucas to the sex assaults, but Lucas said his twin brother, Brian Lucas, is responsible. The judge decided the defense team will also be allowed to name Jason Ivan Johnson as a suspect in the case.
A judge decided there was enough evidence to add new kidnapping and sex assault charges that prosecutors requested the last time Lucas was in court.
Prosecutors said Lucas lured 11 girls into his car and sexually assaulted three of them. Prosecutors said Lucas is tied to cases in Colorado, Texas and Alabama. His trial is scheduled to begin in January 2014.

Lawrence man seriously injured in NYC incident involving SUV and motorcyclists
A Lawrence man is recovering in a New York hospital after being struck Sunday by a Land Rover in New York City during a wild confrontation between the Land Rover driver and dozens of motorcyclists.
Motorcyclist Edwin Mieses Jr. sustained at least two broken legs during the incident, which has drawn national attention after dramatic video of it was posted on the Internet.
New York City's top cop, Commissioner Raymond Kelly, is expected to update the New York media today on the incident, the second time he has addressed the media about it.
Police have not charged the driver of the SUV, but have posted images to their Twitter account seeking to identify at least two motorcyclists seen smashing through the driver's side window of the SUV with a helmet before the driver is pulled out of the vehicle and beaten.
The SUV driver, described in New York media as an executive out with his wife and 2-year-old daughter, was treated for cuts and bruises at a hospital and released.
At least one of the bikers who attacked the SUV in the final moments of the six-minute long drama is now under arrest, according to police.
Police said today that a total of three motorcyclists were injured during the incident, the most seriously being a 32-year-old Hispanic man who suffered at least two broken legs. Of the motorcyclists, Mieses has been identified by officials and his family as the most seriously injured.
According to Facebook postings by his wife, Dayana Mejia, and by friends supporting him, Mieses uses the stage name of Jay Meezee. A "Justice for Jay Meezee'' page has been created on Facebook where Mejia reported that her husband is in a coma and is paralyzed.
"That man paralyzed my husband,'' Mejia told WBZ-TV, speaking about the SUV driver. "He needs to pay for what he did.''
The incident has triggered an intense debate on the Facebook page between those who say the SUV driver acted in fear of his life because of the large number of motorcyclists who surrounded and attacked his car, and those who say Mieses is a victim of a crime because he was not among the attackers but was ruthlessly plowed down by a driver who should have watched where he was going.
According to The New York Times, Commissioner Kelly said the bikers were apparently part of loosely organized group of motorcyclists who planned to drive into the heart of the city as they had done last year, effectively paralyzing Times Square. Kelly said his department was on alert this year and stopped bikers throughout the city before they could grow into a large throng.
In addition to the Facebook page, a woman has created a fund-raising page for the Mieses family with a goal of raising $2,000 to help defray travel costs to New York. Shortly before noon, the site had collected $285 from 12 people.

Linux, Linux, everywhere!
Not long ago, I started to realize that Linux is already creeping up on me from all sides. People who have never heard of Linux were raving about it. They were showing me their latest gadgets and telling me how cool they were. After several months of random people going on about their gadgets I did realize that Linux is everywhere and it came upon us from an unusual source. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am talking about Android which is based on the Linux kernel. A lot of people purchasing their latest phones do not know what Linux is or that Android is based on the Linux kernel. However, they are definitely happy with their latest hardware and the many features Android has. Moreover, Android phones are selling in large quantities and are surpassing Blackberry and iPhone sales. This is amazing and the trend seems to be continuing with excellent and solid phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S2. The Galaxy S2 is a gorgeous phone and it is even better than the iPhone 4. Apple will definitely have to come up with many cool new features for the iPhone 5 to be able to compete with the Android Smartphones.
One great thing about Android is that it is not limited to cellphones only. Android is being used on netbooks and tablets which have become very popular in the last few years. Because many users who use Android on their cellphones are familiar with the operating system, they have no problems buying netbooks and tablets which run Android as well. The cellphone industry was a great way to introduce people to the Android OS and then place the software on other gadgets as well.
Walking through a Big Box computer store today you will notice how many devices are running Android as well as the massive push in advertising. This is really neat to see and I am surprised that Android is so popular among everyday users who are not tech savvy. These people are the majority of consumers and are snapping up cellphones, netbooks and tablets running Android in large numbers.
Linux is definitely everywhere and continues to grow into markets that were dominated by other operating systems before. The server market is already being dominated by Linux. Cell phones, netbooks and tablets are starting to be dominated by Android and the last frontier is the desktop in which it has limited reach so far. However, one day we might just see Linux slowly creep up on us on the desktop as well.

I have converted 13 people to Linux in the last couple years. Each of them frustrated with Windows and sick of all the issues and lengthy boot times. They ask me if I can reformat their hard drive and reinstall windows for them. I make them an offer, I tell them to try Linux for just two weeks (free of payment) and after the two weeks if they don't like it, I will reinstall windows for them at a cost.ReplyDelete
After the two weeks, they always say the same thing.. THIS IS AWESOME!

You're right, here's my tally of Linux devices in our household:ReplyDelete
- 4 Android phones
- 2 Sat. TV boxes
- 1 Wifi Router
- 1 Android tablet
- 3 laptops (Thinkpad, Dell, Mac)
- 1 desktop
At work I have a mac mini and a 256 core compute cluster running Linux.
Year of Linux? Yeah, we got that ;-)
Nice article!ReplyDelete

Android != LinuxReplyDelete
Open Source just doesn't work when it comes to consumer products used by the masses, and Google knows this, this is why the newest versions of Android are never open source
A couple of weeks ago, a vendor told me that I needed to upgrade the software in the lab's Hach spectrophotometer. When the update came as a gz tarball, I poked around to see that the update script checked for Linux version and then selected the appropriate update for a unit either running a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel.ReplyDelete

1997's are pure crap indeed. They come warped and the top of the helmet structure looks rectangular or boxy. What's even worse is that the eye lense section is way too small and looks like a caricatured Fett that just woke up!
You can get 1997's for about $35-40. Depending on how they look (warped wise) will dictate the price in that range.
An authentic 1995 DP will fetch around $85-110. Expect to pay close to the $100 mark with 1995's because they're really well made and as accurate as DP made them. The top of the helmets are fully rounded and the eye lenses are accurate to the view. If there is warping, it is only minor at the bottom of the helmet.
The next best thing to a '95 is the 1996 DP; however, you have to be careful. Early 1996's were shaped and molded similarly to the 1995's, the only thing was that the t-visor isn't indented in space-wise. 1996's run anywhere from $50-65. (If you are fully modifying your 1996 helmet, then it won't matter when you cut out the plastic for the t-visor and put in a back mount.) The reason why you have to be careful for 1996's were that the year ending batches for that year were the beginning of the awful warped and lowest quality DP Fett helmets produced. These ones are fully known as the 1997 DP's which continued on until DP called it quits. So the last remaining 1996's to 1997's all look messed up.
If you want the best for your Fett costume -- GO WITH A 1995 DP FETT HELMET, BAR NONE. Hope this helps.

Hawks suspend Josh Smith for conduct detrimental to the team
By Rob Mahoney
Scoring eight points in a quarter, 20 points in a half and 58 points in a game is likely to create tension around the basketball workplace. That apparently was the case in Atlanta after the slumping Hawks were dismantled by Chicago 97-58 on Monday.
In the process, forward Josh Smith seems to have blown his top, netting himself a one-game suspension. On Wednesday, the Hawks announced that Smith would sit for that night's game against the Nets because of conduct detrimental to the team. Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has connected the dots, reporting that Smith was thrown out of practice on Tuesday for some infraction not yet disclosed.
None of this is exactly out of character for the emotive Smith, but it's certainly interesting that the Hawks would take such significant public action in response to something that happened behind closed doors. Regardless of what Smith did to get under the skin of coach Larry Drew or general manager Danny Ferry, this suspension puts the Hawks in a tough spot with the regular-season tide already working against them.
The Hawks have lost six of their last seven games, and they will apparently call on the seldom-used Johan Petro to help replace Smith. A single game against Brooklyn won't make or break Atlanta's season, but a win could at least help halt the skid that has seen the Hawks drop from third in the Eastern Conference to sixth. Forward-thinking fans might also see this as an omen regarding Smith's potential future (or lack thereof) in Atlanta, given that he'll be a free agent in July. But there's no reason to believe that a hiccup like this would really push Ferry to any particular end. The coaching staff and management are well aware of what Smith brings as both a player and a personality, and their decision to trade or not trade him before the Feb. 21 deadline is unlikely to have anything to do with what transpired early this week.

Colorado Springs Police Sergeant Arrested For Theft, Forgery
Accused officer was in charge of Motor Vehicle Theft Unit
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Police have arrested one of their own.
53-year-old Sergeant James Butierres was arrested on charges of Felony Theft and Felony Forgery.
Neighbors of Butierres didn't want to be identified, but said they were shocked.
Despite lights being on, no one came to Butierres' door, but as a KRDO Newschannel 13 crew packed up to leave, a male voice yelled from the house, "Find something better to do."
Sergeant Butierres was responsible for overseeing the department's Motor Vehicle Theft Unit and grant funds associated with this position.
According to a news release, an investigation into Sergeant Butierres began a week ago, when an internal checks and balances within the Colorado Springs Police Department identified a possible employee theft.
As a result, a criminal investigation was initiated and probable cause was established for an arrest relating to time and labor issues and funds associated with a Motor Vehicle Theft grant.
According to Chief Peter Carey, "The arrest of an officer has an impact not only on department members, but our community as well. It will be handled in the same manner and with the same integrity as every other investigation."
Dennis Hartley, a local defense attorney not involved with the case, said he does not think these allegations will bring back any cases Butierres was involved with.
"If they can prove that he mishandled evidence, perjured himself, or did some other kind of misconduct that would affect the presentation of the case then there is always that possibility, but under normal circumstances probably not," said Hartley.
Mr. Butierres has been placed on Administrative Leave with pay. The case will be presented to the District Attorney's Office for formal charges. If and when felony charges are filed, the Administrative Leave will be without pay.

The Giants finished dead last in the NFL in rushing offense this season,
though you wouldnt know it after watching Big Blue demolish the
Falcons on the ground in Sundays 24-2 NFC wild-card victory at MetLife
Stadium. The Giants finished the game with a season-high 172 yards on 31
carries, an average of 5.5 yards per carry.
We stuck with it, right guard Chris Snee said.
Thats what weve done all year. We couldnt get down. We couldnt get
discouraged. I thought throughout the course of the year we were close
to breaking off some big runs, and we proved me right [Sunday].
The Giants much-maligned offensive line wasnt creating any push
early, but as the game wore on, the holes started to open up. In the
second quarter, Brandon Jacobs ripped off a 34-yard run, and in the third, Ahmad Bradshaw got free for a 30-yard gain.
At this time of the year, the running game has to be a strength for you, left tackle David Diehl said. It allows you to get in third and manageable situations, and keeps your defense off the field.
The Giants ranked 30th in the league with 89.2 yards per game in
2011 -- the fourth-lowest average in franchise history. But theyre
peaking at exactly the right time heading into their divisional-round
matchup in Green Bay on Sunday.
This is a very good football team were about to face, Diehl said.
There's a different speed of game in the playoffs. If you lose, thats
it, youre done. And I think the most important thing for this team is
we dont want this season to end.
Weve been fighting extremely hard to get to where we are at this
point. People havent thought we can do this, and weve kind of had that
us-against-the-world mentality and really band together.

here is a $65 shipped one. i don't know if the $49 stripped uppers will be back anytime soon--
I think that if i ended up missing that $49 one, ill just grab one of the ones from dsa with the forward assist and dust cover for $90 or whatever it is. Anyone know where to find one of these flat top uppers withOUT the M4 ramps?? buddy of mine is tryin to track a cheaper one down.
only ones i have got lately without the m4 ramps was that a2 upper i bought from LAR and one i bought from JSE. i don't know who made it --it was either DPMS or del-ton. i don't think the non m4 ramps will be any cheaper.
the a2 upper i got from LAR was $48 but the shipping was $12--
LAR has some good deals on uppers and lowers but their blemished a3 uppers are all ways out of stock these days.
EvilBlackRifleGirls.com - Upper Receiver Parts There probably the best people I have ever dealt w/ gun wise. I but all the parts to build a complete upper, and the charging handle was "out of stock" I think it took 7-8 days to get including shipping. BTW: The upper was cerro forge, stamped t-marks(Not laser etched) There prices arent bad either, $105 for a FA MP tested BCG, etc...
As j427x said LAR has the non m4 flat tops for $48 but you have to get on a waiting list. I have been on their waiting list for several months now and I'm starting to think their waiting list is just lip service. Hopefully I made the cutoff for the cdnn buy. I have an order confirmation, but I haven't got the email notice yet that I opted for.
this is JSE
i think EBR girls and JSE are the same people. the regular mail addy is the same.i have bought stuff from JSE for years. good folks to trade with.
i may just order one of those m16 bolt&carriers --just too cheap to pass up. it is likely a colt or FN military contract overrun. ya cant beat those with a stick!

Celebrating Fatherhood and Quality Family Time

All of us seemed to agree on one essential truth: spending quality time with loved ones can have a positive and lasting impact on our health, happiness and well-being.

As a personal trainer, I've always placed a priority on maintaining an active, healthy lifestyle. And, when I became a father and then a grandfather, I knew that I owed it to myself and my family to dedicate extra attention to the way I treated my personal health. My wellbeing was not just about me anymore; it was about the loved ones who would count on me to be there as a father, grandfather, husband and best friend.

With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the report committee was tasked with: 1) assessing the status of physical activity and physical education in schools; 2) reviewing the science behind the effects of physical activity on health, development and academic performance in youth; and 3) making recommendations appropriate with the scientific evidence.
Celebrating Physical Fitness for All
By: J. Nadine Gracia, MD, MSCE, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health
Fitness is a word that means something different to everyone. For some, it's a necessity. A prerequisite for health and wellbeing. For others, it's a journey. A work in progress. An aspiration. An opportunity.

Well today we tried our first split with a queen that we bought. We open our hive from a year ago and it was going strong. So we decided on trying a split. After a long look we finally found our queen in the bottom brood box. So we made sure that we kept an eye on her and took 9 drawn frames with some honey and a little brood from the strong hive into a new deep and placed the new queen while in her cage in the new deep move the new box 10 or so feet away and feed them.
Couple of questions:
Is this far enough away?
I thought about closing the entrance off for a couple of days so they get use to her, is that a good idea?
Any ideas and comments appreciated.

Room was clean and well appointed; staff were friendly; fitness center was phenomenal
Quick, safe walk to Soldier Field at night with kids. Coffee pot in closet, didn't find it until we were leaving.
Got a great price for an amazing room. Good on premise restaurant. Easy access just off freeway, adjacent parking (pricey). Parking should be free or subsidized for hotel guests.
We arrived early on our flight and the staff had no problem checking us in way before the regular time. Very accommodating and incredibly friendly staff. Facility was clean and well maintained. We plan on staying again next time we are in Chicago
Fast valet , nice accommodation, not a bad location. Expensive parking.
Our room had an excellent view, guest services was extremely helpful any time we needed anything, even with the most minor of things. The hotel is within walking distance of the magnificent mile, Millenium park, Shedd aquarium, and the Field museum. The Lincoln Park zoo is only 5 miles away, so this hotel is in the perfect location. We really enjoyed the view that we had from our room, being on the upper floors lets you look over all of Chicago. The only complaint I would have wold be the cleaning of the room. We found a bottle cap just sitting on the floor near one of the chairs, and I know it wasn't ours because we are not of age to drink. The other problem was the bathroom floor. When I stepped out of the shower I stepped on the tile and there was some sticky substance all over the floor by the sink.
Absolutely unacceptable and unsanitarity that the beds not have Duvet cover!
Good hotel from a dependable chain, with convenient deli and ATM inside, direct access to the convention center next door, generally helpful staff. My room was not stylish but it was spotless, comfortable and larger than I expected. Location was fine, easy to get a taxi. I did not try the restaurants or deal with parking. The hot water in my room was not dependable. The lobby of the hotel had an overpowering strong cologne smell - it was like they were going for a 'signature scent' of 'too much Axe.'
Comfortable rooms Nice facilities Staff was not very helpful or nice Expensive Bad location Far from town
the staff and the room was very nice.. Having to pay to park and the restaurants were $$$$..
The price was the cheapest we could find Everything was wrong the do not disturb sign got taken off somehow and we were still in the room when they tried to clean it and the beds were too soft and caved in. The pool wasn't fun or relaxing at all and there was no hot tub. It was our honeymoon and they didn't even say congrats when we told Them that at check in. The ice machine was broken and when we asked for an extra sheet we had to call three times and it took an hour to get one. Also there needs to be a continental breakfast or at least some fruit we can grab instead of waiting in a stupid long line just to buy an apple or water. We hated it there.
I loved it
our waffle breakfast was amazing. the room had a lovely view of the back garden and nice big windows that opened for fresh air. I used the jacuzzi 3 x for muscle relief from my conference. the breakfast the 1st day wasn't too good. Plain flat tasting scrambled eggs w/burnt bacon and (instant?) decaf. The next breakfast made up for it tho... The Mansion needs some maintenance upkeep. The window shade was broken, the air was warm in the room and too cool in the bathroom. There was no individual control. All else was good.
room design
Interesting house, nice room, very helpful staff.
The location was pretty good. The staff is terrible. They treat you as if they do not want the business. They are rude fromthe beginning. They lecture their customers. They actually make threats. I've never seen anything like it.
the historic building, internally excellent but externally in great need of repair. sevice none existent. offered wrong grade of room, change room still not of correct grade. no bath, shower did not work, no pressure. No towels for 2 hours on arrival, only 1 bath robe. No staff in premises after 7pm at night, emergancy night number for service not answered. 1hr for breakfast, no choice only 1 item. We were the only people in the hotel on the first night. 2 inexperenced staff

Kill it and dont give it a thought.
Kill it and dont give it a thought.
As for a dog getting a SMALL mouse sized Victor trap stuck on its tongue..........cant see it happening. The springs are weak and a dog will step on it with its paw and pull it right off. A rat trap might hurt it a bit though.
As for me sticking my tongue on a trap..........I know better and it would probably hurt like heck..........and you have to remember, animals are A LOT tougher than humans are, well, some humans anyhow!!
I met an old trapper while goose hunting up in Tule Lake, CA. We talked for well over an hour about everything under the sun. He had some dead muskrats in the back of his truck and some boards piled up, I asked him how he traps the muskrats and what the boards with a nail protruding from the center of it is for? He took a board (it also had #1 leg traps attached to it) and put a piece of turnip on the nail, then he set one of the traps and proceded to explain what happens.........then all of a sudden the crazy fella dropped his thumb down on the pan and set the trap off!!! I jumped back probably 5 foot with eyes as big as saucers!! Him and my buddies were rolling with laughter while he opened the trap to remove his thumb!!
I say just trap the sucker on your landing board to the hive, a dead mouse is a good mouse.
Coyote Creek Bees
shovel the 18inches of snow off the top of your hive, tilt the hive back on the bottom board and the mouse will probably run out. Stick your hive tool up between the frames and drag the nest out from between the frames. The bees will be so tightly clustered that they won't bother you. Then set things back in place and add an entrance reducer to keep mice from coming back.
Mark Berninghausen
Stick a flashlight in the entrance and find him, then shoot him with a low powered BB gun.
Well, there's one person. Would you please ship the appropriate weapon to Morristown?
Maybe Widdy was being sarcastic.
Mark Berninghausen
A BB gun is $20 at Walmart. A weak BB gun serves multiple purposes. It kills small objects in tight places, can stop the neighbors dogs for killing my chickens without wounding them, ect.
I wasn't kidding about shooting it.
I had a gorilla crab in my 150 gal saltwater reef tank that was eating my fish and I could not catch him. A local saltwater store said one of there customers had one and stuck a BB gun in there tank and just shot it. It was either that or drain and empty the tank. It ended up dying while I was in Iraq after eating a few hundred dollars worth of fish.
Things are only as dangerous as you allow them to be.

How many shots do you think the average person, not someone trained in firearms, would have to take to kill a mouse w/ a BB gun? I kill mice w/ my hive tool. It usually takes more than one whack. How many BBs does it take to kill a mouse, if you can hit it? I bet a mouse can take more than one body shot before dying.
Mark Berninghausen
You can use one of these. This will ONLY catch mice! I build lots of them.
Bait and set your mouse trap and set it inside a large mouth quart jar. Cut a small portion of the lid off so that just a mouse can get into the jar. Place the lid on the jar and attach it with the jar cap (referred to as a ring). I do that in my flower beds to keep from catching small birds. It will work.
Where is there any room in a single story beehive for any of these devices? Keep it simple.
Mark Berninghausen
Right on the front porch. Or you can place it on the ground somewhere close to the hive.
Regardless of the tool being used to get rid of said mouse, I know it has been mentioned twice on this thread but heres a third. REMEMBER your MOUSE GUARD!

Reviews for this host's other properties
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It is well equipped and very modern. We could easily walk to Porto's centre. Also the check in was good; we got some great tips where to go and what to do in Lisbon.
We had a perfect stay in a beautiful city in laura and pedros appartment. The appartment is big and very nice and there is everything you will need. Its very close to the center but its silent at night so you can sleep well.
The hosts were very nice and gave us some recommendations for restaurants and bars.
I would defenetly recommend the city porto and this apparment for a holiday. Thank you for the hospitality.
We had a fantastic stay at Pedro's and Laura's apartment. The building is very safe, the apartment is big, comfortable, clean and has fast-speed wifi. The apartment is well located, there are some supermarkets in walking distance, also it's close to the metro. We enjoyed sitting in the balcony. We would stay there again. Thank you!
A very elegant 19th-century apartment, cleverly and tastefully renovated to a high standard, in a pleasant tree-lined street within easy walking distance of the historic centre which had absolutely everything we needed for a pleasant and comfortable stay. There was a corner shop for basic needs (lots of fruit and veg on offer) and also a cafe literally a stone's throw away. It was a very fitting place to stay whilst visiting this beautiful city, and although we were generally out all day exploring the city we still had time to admire its minimalistic but functional style - and enjoy a very good night's sleep on the excellent mattress.
Pedro is a really friendly Host and the flat is exactly as it looks in pictures.
Very clean and wonderful apartment centrally located.
I would certainly recommend this accommodation to enjoy your stay in Porto.
Great appartment! Everything looked exactly as in the pictures. Very clean and quiet place to stay. In the middle of the city centre of Porto. Easy to reach by metro from the airport. We enjoyed our stay very much and the restaurant that Pedro recommend us was really great!!
A nice home in a nice neighborhood, a must!
Een prettig huis in een leuke buurt, een aanrader!
Pedro is a very friendly and gave excellent host. His apartment is neat and right in the historic center. For 4 adults you have what little privacy. ! namely adjacent bedroom with a sliding door to the only toilet (which is also your bathroom). If I was pedro, I would offer some more place to hang (hooks in bedrooms or so. There was no wardrobe. Further fine! Your clothes
Pedro is een heel vriendelijke en atente gastheer.
Zijn apartement is netjes en midden in het historische centrum.
Voor 4 volwassenen heb je wat weinig privacy.
! slaapkamer grenst namelijk met een schuifdeur aan de enigste wc (dat is ook je badkamer).
Als ik pedro was, zou ik wat meer plek bieden om je kleding op te hangen( haken in de slaapkamers of zo. Er was geen kledingkast.
Verder prima!
La estancia en Oporto fue estupenda.
Laura nos estaba esperando y nos explicó todo lo que necesitábamos para movernos por la ciudad .
El apartamento tal como aparece en las fotos. Muy cómodo y bastante cerca del centro.
A pesar de la lluvia pasamos unos días muy agradables y pudimos visitar todo lo previsto.
Sin duda lo recomendaríamos.
Perfect Stay, thanks to Laura,
The appartement is very well located near the palacio and the hospital, all the equiments needed, luminous, clean.
And our host Laura, she was available and lived two minutes beside. She show us a lot to do on a map, very appreciated, thank you again !!
Séjour parfait, merci à Laura,

Et notre hôte vis à deux minutes à pieds, elle était également ddisponible.Elle nous à montrer beaucoup de choses à voir et à faire sur une carte de la ville, merci encore !!

I preface this with saying i'm a cheapskate, and I know it, LOL.
Looking at the price of lumber, looks like the cheapest way to build these would be with 3/4 inch plywood. Any problem with using plywood? I can make then for about 1/5 the price of using 1x lumber.


text: Looking into doing a transmission fluid cooler mod here soon like maybe late September early October. Definitely going to put in an oversized cooler probably an electric fan to help cool it off when it's really hot outside. Finding kits on eBay for 30$-40$ for just the unit with no fan. Just no clue as to what size or brand I should go with. Also looking into doing an electric fan mod on the radiator too later on. Just looking for input on the size and brand of the cooler I should use or be comfortable spending money on.

If there are 10,000 accounting professors in the United States, what is the likelihood that the one chosen to write Accounting for Dummies would be from the University of Colorado at Boulder?
If the professor has logged more than 35 years of teaching and written eight books on finance and accounting, the likelihood is 100 percent.
John Tracy, a C.P.A. and faculty member at the College of Business and Administration at CU-Boulder, was approached by IDG books the Dummies people to write the accounting volume of their successful series. The publisher was taken with Tracys How to Read a Financial Report because of its readability and concise nature.
Some people fear numbers, Tracy said. In business, you have to know what your numbers are. You have to know if youre making a profit, if youre solvent and if you have cash flow. You have to know what kind of capital it will take to grow.
Tracy said the book is written for people who need a good lesson in finance and accounting. Its very down-to-earth. Its the yellow pages of accounting books in that its meant to be used, Tracy said.
The book, already heading into its second printing, is ideal for managers of large and small companies, entrepreneurs, investors and students needing clarification in the numbers world.

Self Styled with Elliot Aronow: Pumped Up Tees
Get rid of your graphic tees and step up your style with these summer shirts.
It is every man's right to wear a T‑shirt (while walking his dog or schvitzing at the gym, at least) but sometimes summer calls for something super casual and comfortable that has a bit more polish. Here are some alternatives to Average Joe Summer Bummer's beach dad look that split the difference between flavorful and grown-up. No real rules here in terms of fit, just make sure you have some room where you need it most, like across your chest and around your neck.
A nice upgrade from your standard tee is to rock a henley, which is basically a T‑shirt with two or three buttons on the front. While I don't usually cosign rustic "man's man" clothes, these have a strong masculine vibe without making you look like you work in a lumberyard. This particularly handsome model from Brooklyn/Downtown NYC mini-empire In God We Trust features a subtle and sharp contrasting placket to give it some low-key pop. Pair this with some khakis and white Converse and you are good to go. It's nothing too fancy, but a few steps up from what everyone else will be wearing. And ladies will love it.
Another option, this one for the more nautically inspired gent, is this striped crewneck tee with contrasting pocket from Saturdays, who are making a killing right now selling surf clothes to dudes who may or may not surf. This is a strong-ass look so make sure the rest of your outfit is pretty mellow. I would avoid wearing this with boat shoes or white pants, but aside from that, you can pull it off. Just be easy, man.
My final point on the matter is that grown men of all ages probably shouldn't wear graphic tees. While there are some exceptions to this rule, the odds of this look working for them are not in most men's favor. Stick with patterns if you want to make a statement. And, just so I can sleep at night, I must tell you that any shirts with jokes on them should be burned immediately. But you knew that. Have fun out there!

Caught a swarm back in May. All I had at the time was a shallow super so thats what I put them in. The queen lays a good pattern. They have filled out all the foundation in that super with pollen, honey and brood. However, they wont move out of that super.
Ive had a deep with plasticell foundation on it for about a month but they arent drawing comb. I reversed the hive bodies last weekend and also been feeding 1:1 sugar syrup for two weeks.
Whats the deal?? How can I get that queen to move??

Most European Stocks Fall as German Exports SlideAdria Cimino
Most European stocks fell after German exports dropped and investors speculated recent gains have overshot the outlook for company profits as Alcoa Inc. prepared to kick off the U.S. earnings season.
Debenhams Plc slid the most in more than three years after the retailer cut its profit-margin forecast. Vodafone Group Plc added 1.7 percent as the Wall Street Journal reported that Verizon Communications Inc. said it's feasible it will buy the U.K. company's stake in their Verizon Wireless joint venture. TGS Nopec Geophysical ASA rallied 7 percent as the Norwegian offshore surveyor forecast revenue that exceeded estimates.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index slipped 0.1 percent to 286.25 at the close of trading, as three shares fell for every two that gained. The volume of trading was 46 percent greater than the 30-day average, Bloomberg data show. The measure climbed to the highest level since February 2011 last week after U.S. lawmakers agreed on a compromise budget.
"We have to realize that economic data coming out of the euro zone is going to be very poor," Bob Parker, senior adviser at Credit Suisse Asset Management in London, said on Bloomberg Television. "I would want to diversify in equities across the euro zone. Markets are going to be frustrating. We are going to see a lot of day-to-day volatility."
National benchmark indexes declined in 10 of the 18 western European markets. Germany's DAX Index slipped 0.5 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 dropped 0.2 percent. France's CAC 40 was little changed.
The Stoxx 600 has increased 2.4 percent in 2013, pushing its valuation to 19 times reported earnings, near the highest level since March 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Economic Reports
German exports declined more than forecast in November. Exports adjusted for working days and seasonal changes fell 3.4 percent from October, the steepest drop in more than a year, the Federal Statistics Office in Wiesbaden said today. Economists had forecast a 0.5 percent decrease, according to the median of nine estimates in a Bloomberg survey.
Still, economic confidence in the euro area increased more than economists expected in December even as the 17-nation currency bloc remained mired in its second recession in four years. An index of executive and consumer sentiment rose to 87 from 85.7 in November, the European Commission said. Economists had forecast a reading of 86.3, according to a Bloomberg survey.
Earnings Season
Alcoa, the largest American aluminum producer, will unofficially start the U.S. earnings-reporting season after New York trading closes today. Profits at S&P 500 companies grew an average 2.9 percent in the fourth-quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Excluding financial companies, income rose 0.5 percent.
"Expectations going in the fourth-quarter reporting season are weak, with many analysts scaling back their estimates in September," Ishaq Siddiqi, a market strategist at ETX Capital in London, wrote in e-mailed comments. "Outlook statements will be the key, setting the tone for the rest of the year."
Debenhams sank 7.7 percent to 108.1 pence, the biggest decline since March 2009. The U.K.'s second-largest department-store chain cut its forecast for full-year margin growth as it stepped up promotions to gain shoppers.
A gauge of automobile companies was the worst performer among 19 industry groups in the Stoxx 600. Car sales in western Europe slid 16 percent in December, LMC Automotive said in a report yesterday.
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG lost 3.4 percent to 73.21 euros, while Daimler AG declined 1.3 percent to 42.50 euros. Renault SA slipped 2 percent to 39.67 euros.
Recruiters Retreat
Michael Page International Plc and Hays Plc slid 3.8 percent to 398.8 pence and 1.5 percent to 84.55 pence, respectively. The U.K. recruitment companies retreated as smaller rival Robert Walters Plc said the market is still challenging and there's yet to be any indication the situation will improve this year. Robert Walters closed unchanged at 203 pence, erasing an earlier loss of as much as 5.9 percent.
Galp Energia SGPS SA declined 3.8 percent to 12.05 euros. The shares were downgraded to neutral from buy at Bank of America Corp., citing "potentially weak" fourth-quarter earnings and 2013 guidance.
Vodafone advanced 1.7 percent to 162.4 pence, the highest since Dec. 13. Verizon Communications Chief Executive Officer Lowell McAdam said his company has the strength to buy Vodafone's 45 percent stake in the U.S.'s largest wireless carrier, the Journal reported late yesterday.
TGS Nopec
TGS Nopec soared 7 percent to 193 kroner in Oslo, the biggest gain since October 2011. The offshore surveyor forecast 2012 revenue of $931 million and sales this year of $970 million to $1.05 billion.
Actelion Ltd. climbed 3.4 percent to 46.26 Swiss francs after the drugmaker reiterated its 2013 guidance of matching last year's figures and forecast a "double-digit percentage growth" in 2015.
Anglo American Plc advanced 1.4 percent to 2,028 pence as the mining company appointed Mark Cutifani as chief executive officer after losing $14 billion of its market value under predecessor Cynthia Carroll.
