Games I Own: Lego Racers
Posted on 8th Jul 2010 at 11:19 by Joe Martin with 17 comments
In terms of gameplay and features there's not really much to say about the original Lego Racers other than that it was a kart racer. You had little racing cars made of Lego and you went through a series of levels, trying to place ahead of the boss of each league. In each race you could collect power-ups to turn the tide of the race – missile attacks, oil slicks, rocket boosters, the usual fare. Unlike the latter Lego Racers 2, the first game didn't have a big open-world for you to explore between races, just the levels and a few hidden shortcuts.
In fact, the only remotely original feature it had was the most logical and obvious one possible, given the franchise – you could build your own cars from unlocked bits of Lego. Supposedly the design might change how your car handled, but if there was any evidence or indication of that then it was so minimal that I can't honestly say I ever noticed. Instead, I just tried to make my car look as badass as possible.

That's called great defense.
Bill.........hopefully that Cardinal pitcher you picked up delivers this season. Nice start though.........
I moved one of my 3 injured guys to the DL spot, so I had a roster opening.
Hey guys, how's it going!? I was just doing a Google search for BYU and it brought me to this page, so I thought I'd say Hi!
You missed it........On page 3 of this thread is a BYU joke...........
Are you thinking about applying?
I always thought you two were twins............ Started here about the same time........... About the same number of posts.........
Middle of the pack after one week. Had the highest batting average and RBIs, but second worst ERA....... Took hitting categories, but lost all pitching. Interesting to see how others did. Surprised to see how the standings worked out.
Hji, Last week I had a 9-2 lead on Jammer through the first half of Sunday. My last 4 or 5 batters went 0-15 while Cabrera killed me. Ended up 5-4. Biggest choke I've ever seen. Shocking. It certainly didn't FEEL like a victory, but beating Jammer Pants is always nice. nemo, you were dogging my relievers last week. I noticed I had 4 Saves and 1 Hold to your 1 Save and 0 Holds. Hmmmm... My Stolen Bases were sick. I had 11 last week! That was about as much as the rest of the league got total. Too bad the rest of my batting stats were very average. You have one of the best hitting team as of ONE week nemo. My pitching was unbelievable last week. Yours was terrible. On the surface it looks like my pitching against your hitting this week. However, of course, one week isn't much to go on. And anyhow, in baseball, I've often seen the great hitting teams win with weak pitching and lose hitting against the team with great pitching and poor hitting. *********************************************************************************************************************************** Holds are weird guys. Did you know the following: A hold is earned when a reliever comes into a save situation and gives way to another reliever without giving up the lead. Holds are not an official MLB statistical category, so you may find that different statistical services use a different criteria. To receive credit for a hold in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball, the pitcher must record an out. Over the course of a season, you may find some unique scoring situations arise in your league:A pitcher CAN earn both a loss and a hold in the same game.A pitcher CAN earn both a win and a hold in the same game.What exactly is a hold? | Fantasy Baseball Help I think last week was the first time ever in fantasy sports that I thought, "Man...I'm sure glad I didn't play Rascoe this week"!!
"Good hitting beats good pitching, and vice-versa" -- Yogi Berra
A "hold" are the cards you keep in draw poker.......... A "hold" is a place where prisoners are kept on a cruise ship.
Was he referring specifically to my fantasy baseball match with nemo? Does he know Wiggles?
Kershaw pitches tonight and my big 3 Tigers get back in action...... May Brennan Boesch hit 2 HRs tonight...............
Lots of player movement these last two days..........
nemo, you must have really wanted to move up and get that number one waiver priority. I guarantee you that on Saturday you will have it..
I'll have to learn what all that means........on the go......
I've got 3 starters left to pitch this week. Hopefully, they all do well and improve my position against my opponent. I got one big hitter on the DL and another playing like he belongs there. The rest of my players have to step it up to make sure that I do well this week. Darth is always tough competition. I would love to steamroll him this first matchup.
Lucky me. I get you when Kershaw goes twice. Your pitching is tops so far this week. Mine, at this point would be ahead of every other team. More good luck I deserve whatever happens to me based on my hitting. It's about the worst in my experience. My last 4 batters Sunday went 0 for 15. Costing me several categories. Monday they were fine. Then Tuesday they went 3 for 29, or something. Then Wednesday I'm not sure, but i think they got like 5 hits out of 40. Disgraceful. I was telling someone that if my guys had gone 20 for 85 instead of 7 for 85, I would be worried. But I KNOW that NOBODY can possibly be THIS bad!! 7 for 85 has got to be just one of those things. Maybe it is a good thing. Maybe they are getting their choking out of the way these first couple of weeks instead of waiting until September. It looks like it is time to change my team name. It made a HUGE difference for my football team. From 2-5 to a silver medal. Can lightning strike twice for me??

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Newly scaped 20H - plot suggestions, please?
Hi all -
I am hopeful for some suggestions of where to go from here. I started out with an intention to build an asian river biotope, but have changed my mind, and am looking for some additional color in the tank. The current tank - sorry for the pic, the lighting is poor, and the leaves are yellower here than in the tank - e.g., the parva is uniformly thriving, bright, green, happy for how it's going so far:
100% crypts. The background spiralis and balansae have started to run, and I plan on filling out the back entirely with stem crypts and longer plants of other species (see below).
20H, 65W PC 6" over water, CO2 injection, full EI.
I'm getting in some more balansae, retrospiralis, petite nana, and L. aromatica. I've also just come to think of sunset hygro, and thought to plant according to this plot:
I planned on anchoring the nana to the wood, some of it in shade (esp. to right, by the "cave," to get a substantial foregound carpet of parva to the left, leaving the right more sparsely planted foreground, and hopeful for a focal point center left, with the aromatica in midground, and possibly some sunset behind the wood - likely, directly behind the aromatica, instead of to the right, as in the above pic.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Our stay in this apartment was just perfect!
The apartment is very quiet, close to everything functional. The residence is quiet and clean. The bedding is nice.
We came to two adults and 3 children aged 5 to 9 years, and for us it was ideal accommodation with all necessary amenities.
Great views, nice pool although it is a bit dark.
Contact was easy with people who care.
We will recommend this apartment to our friends for sure.
Notre séjour dans cet appartement a été tout simplement parfait!
L'appartement est très calme, près de tout, fonctionnel. La résidence est calme, et propre. La literie est agréable.
Nous sommes venus à deux adultes et 3 enfants de 5 à 9 ans, et pour nous ce logement était idéal avec toutes les commodités nécessaires.
La vue est superbe, la piscine agréable même si elle est un peu sombre.
Le contact a été simple avec les personnes qui s'en occupent.
Nous recommanderons cet appartement à tous nos amis c'est certain.
I realized that I had to go to another place to collect the key after I arrived the accomodation. The owner said that he already gave me the email to inform the imformation.but I have never get the email. I SWEAR!!
AND YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA as cleaning fee.
It has been pleasurable to stay in this apartment which allowed us to have a great holidays. The balcony opens on a quite street which is very pleasant for a meal in fresh air. The air conditioning is quite and effective and the glass sliding door sound proof. so city noises hasn't been an issue.
The gym is well equipped and with a sona room. The pool and spa were very cold (sept) and the BBQ out of order.
Make sure you address all your enquiries at Wundu as you are not clients of the building management team. We were supplied with linen for 2 even we had booked for 4 guests.
Overall, good value for money.
Close to transport and many parks, lovely bakery around corner and convenient store with internet.
Very clean & good location. Only problem was setting timer on oven as power had been off. (Push first two buttons and last together)
Would consider staying here again.
Plus: Apartment located in the charming neighborhood Chippendale.Proche Chinatown and bobo Newton.Très quiet neighborhood, you sleep well. The least that is the standardized side of the apartment, we expect more to something more friendly and personal when you do not choose the hotel.
Le plus:Appartement bien situé dans le quartier très agréable de Chippendale.Proche du quartier chinois et le quartier bobo de Newton.Très calme , on y dort bien.
Le moins c' est le côté standardise de l appartement, on s'attend plus à quelque chose de plus chaleureux ou personnalisé lorsqu'on ne choisit pas l'hôtel .
Very nice accommodation near the city center BUT default general maintenance, aucuneexplication on laresidence, hard to find, Spa hs car ... Damage
Très beau logement, proche du centre ville MAIS défaut d'entretien général, aucuneexplication sur laresidence, parking difficile à trouver, Spa hs... Dommage
We spent a nice time in your apartment. It was really pleasant.
You have a nice town and life, as usual .
Best regards, Olivier
Everything was great. Nice Appartement and a great and helpful landlord. Tranks very much.
A good sized apartment in a fantastic location, right on Hyde Park This was an ideal location for getting around the city's many tourist sites; it was also well placed for Central Station trains. The apartment was comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay.
The apartment is very good situated nearby central station. We could easyly get to all places we wanted to visit. Everything we needed was there. But it was not very comfortable to get the key at a different place far away, where the lady couldn´t tell us the way to the apartment. It is only possible by going by taxi. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay very much.

text: Your story had no fracking effect on Patrick and his results. Here's some "facts" for ya 1) Patrick always starts out slowly and usually has a rough outing in at least his first and quite often his second comps. Don't believe me, check out some of the topics from last season and you will see a bunch of moaners and groaners saying he shouldn't have won with three/four/more falls. 2) Patrick has not one but TWO new programs and that's new for him so I would expect him to be OK in early comps and get better as time goes on and he gets more comfortable with them 3) he has new people on his team and again, more adjustments. These things take TIME 4) he has decided to put more emphasis on the emoting of his programs and when you are focusing on something that is newer to you, sometimes you focus so much on that area that other areas TEMPORARILY suffer. Notice I said TEMPORARILY. Patrick will be fine. I have total faith in him that he will, like a fine wine, just get better and better. He knows that the other skaters are upping their content and he's not willing to rest upon his laurels. He hears/read/knows he has areas in which there is room for improvement and he works on them. Back in 2010 he got slammed for not have a quad -- now he usually tries 3 (1 in the short, 2 in the long) with one of those in combination. His triple axel looked fine once again. Since he got the quads, he got slammed for not be "artistic" or "feeling his music" -- so now he's working on that aspect of his skating. If I didn't know any better, I might think you have it out for him. Fans like you who first try to stir up trouble with your earlier posts and are now trying to take credit for his "turn around" make me glad we have this thing called "the ignore feature" -- a list to which I think you might need to be added.

Genre: Fantasy
Number of Pages: 422
What's the basic story line?
Scott, an 11-year-old boy, moves to Goodborough, New Jersey, because his mother must relocate for her job at Goodco Cereal Company. Scott befriends twins, Erno and Emily Utz, and a tiny leprechaun named Mick. Mick, along with Harvey, a talking rabbit, escaped from the evil Goodco, which had been holding them captive. Goodco wants them for their magical powers and to use them in commercials. Mick and Harvey are being pursued by people from Goodco who are very dangerous. With the help of Scott, Erno, Emily and the Utz's housekeeper, Biggs, Harvey and Mick try to evade the evil Goodco cereal company and return to their home.
Are the characters believable?
The characters are believable people with unusual traits and lives. Scott is a regular sixth grader who gets migraines and hallucinates. At the beginning of the book, he is going to a new school and is in a class called "Project Potential" for advanced kids. His friends, Erno and Emily, are twins who are competitive with each other. Their life is unusual because their foster father gives them "tests," like scavenger hunts, where they follow clues and have to find the answer. Emily always wins, except when she lets Erno win—on their birthday. The twins have a housekeeper, a man named Biggs, who is eight feet tall, breaking a world record. He is protective of Erno and Emily and refers to them as "his babies." While he is strange and hairy and lives in a tree, his emotions are believable.
On a scale of 1 to 1-10 (ten being the best) how would you rate this book?
I would rate this book a 7. It took a while for the story to get interesting and for the action to start flowing. After several chapters, the book kept me on the edge of my seat as the action switched from one character to another. The book is interesting because of its fantastical characters, and I enjoyed reading Mick's old Irish folk stories.

BoA (Korean)
Born Kwon Boa on November 5, 1986, BoA's career owes as much to serendipity as talent -- she followed her older brother to an audition at the offices of record label SM Entertainment (Korea's biggest record label and most reliable idol-makers), and while the older brother was overlooked, his 11-year-old sister was taken on. With an eye on nurturing a future pan-Asian star, BoA was quickly enrolled in an international school where she could study Japanese and English.
In Korea during 2000, the 14-year-old BoA released her debut album, ID; Peace B, a mix of urban-sounding pop, slickly produced ballads, and upbeat dance tunes. The young singer's newly acquired language skills were soon put to the test when her international label, Avex, launched BoA's career in the United States, getting Janet Jackson remixer Jonathan Peters and songwriter Peter Rafelson (whose credits include Madonna) on board for the English-language release of ID; Peace B in 2001. During the summer of that year, BoA launched her career in Japan with "ID; Peace B," the single that had already been a big hit in her homeland. A single collaboration with Kumi Koda followed before BoA's debut album in Japan, Listen to My Heart, was released early the following year.
BoA's early career was characterized by her busy dance moves and breathy, youthful vocals -- less screeching than Hamasaki's, less histrionic than Utada's. Behind the music were some of the same songwriters who had penned hits for other idols in Japan, such as Hamasaki and Hitomi, both of whom are also on Avex. According to Oricon magazine, BoA became the first solo artist in more than 20 years to score a number one debut single and debut album in Japan, a feat that was all the more remarkable for an artist from outside of Japan.
In January 2003, in the wake of a Korean boom in Japan triggered by the co-hosting of the 2002 FIFA World Cup between South Korea and Japan and a growing interest in mawkish Korean TV dramas, BoA released what remains her biggest-selling album to date, Valenti. The album featured several ballads that went on to propel the album to the top spot in the charts and helped it shift over a million copies. High-profile collaborations followed with respected Japanese house producer Mondo Grosso, Japanese hip-hop act m-flo, and Howie D of Backstreet Boys (on the Bratz single Show Me What You Got). BoA ended 2003 with a change of direction of sorts, releasing a rock-oriented single titled, unsurprisingly, Rock with You, which also featured some more adventurous production. Although the accompanying album had its fair share of dance-pop, BoA's maturing vocals meant she was more confident taking on a range of material, including songs with a harder R&B sound. The new sound was vindicated when BoA took home two MTV Asia Awards for Most Influential Artist and Favorite Artist Korea in 2004.
BoA joined a select group when her fourth Japanese album release, Outgrow, went to number one. Only Namie Amuro, Misia, and Mai Kuraki had reached number one with their first four original albums when BoA did the same in February 2006. Typical for an idol with a high media profile in Japan, BoA's songs have appeared on anime television and film soundtracks. In summer 2006, she supplied the theme song to the Japanese release of the DreamWorks animated feature Over the Hedge, a movie in which she also took a voice actor role in the Japanese release. ~ David Hickey

Good 1st Level Certification
I've got A+ level comp skills and some programming experience. I'm not new to IT. I've also been around the hacker scene off and on but not at a very deep level.
That being said, what are some of your opinions on a good place to start getting your feet wet with security certs?

Scared of having DW in there, but if they can see that he's ready to go, I'm all for it. He has speed and that ability to move around defenders
I just hope he doesn't fumble or get injured. I expect him to pretty good as long as the line can create/maintain holes for him when he gets touches. And we should definitely run a screen or two because with his speed he could break one in open space.
I want to see Wilson fly by 49ers tomorrow.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
Excerpt: "Giants rookie running back David Wilson set the bar pretty high for himself last week.
Now, I look at it as like every two carries I gotta score a touchdown, said Wilson, who scored for the first time as a pro on a 40-yard run late in the fourth quarter of his teams 41-27 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Wilson was joking.
But seriously ...
It does give me confidence to go out there and score a touchdown with the limited plays I had that game, he said. Now, Im hoping to go out there and see what I can do with more carries. Read more...
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
would be good if he can be a change up to AB......
high and tight for both AB and DW.....high and tight
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
One thing we can be sure of, after the 40 yard run last week he is going to draw some attention from the defense when he is on the field. Even without running he will help to dictate to the defense and possibly force them to bring a safety up to help against the run. The first play he is in should be a play action and you could end up with a big play to Nicks or Cruz. Hopefully after that they are forced to play him a bit more honest and it opens up a big run.
He may not get a lot of time, but when he is on the field I will be looking for big plays because he creates a whole new dimension in this offense.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I`d go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I`m now resigned to the fact that this won`t happen. -- Michael Strahan, just when you think you're down...
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

"I had one goal," she recalls, "if only I could one day work in an office, because every woman that I knew was a maid… The farthest I could think was working in an office. That was it."
Simmons began her prodigious journey on a sharecropping farm in Texas, the youngest of 12 children. She attended Dillard University on scholarship and spent her junior year at Wellesley College, where she encountered President Margaret Clapp who opened her eyes to the possibility of women in leadership. Graduating Dillard in 1967, she studied in France on a Fulbright fellowship, and went on to earn a Ph.D. in Romance languages from Harvard.
In 1983, after serving as associate dean of the graduate school at the University of Southern California, Simmons joined the Princeton University administration. She left in 1990 for two years to serve as provost at Spelman College, returning to Princeton in 1992 as vice provost. In 1995, she became president of Smith College, the largest women's college in the U.S., where she launched a number of strategic initiatives to strengthen the college's academic programs and inaugurated the first engineering program at a U.S. women's college. Over the course of her career Simmons has been a visionary leader in academia, championing, and demonstrating, the power of education to transform lives. She stepped down as Brown president in 2012, but remains a professor of comparative literature and Africana studies at the university.

The death of Governor Chafee's two-tiered sales tax proposal and the gay marriage bill he advocated have prompted more than a few declarations of irrelevance.
But with Smith Hill Democrats set to caucus today, and a formal budget proposal expected in the coming days, it may be time to re-evaluate.
That budget, by most accounts, will include some sort of sales tax expansion. It won't be as broad as the expansion Chafee proposed. But he never expected to get the full package through, anyway. Rather, his plan served as political cover for the General Assembly - allowing the body to pass some lesser expansion and declare victory.
He set the table, in other words, even if he didn't deliver the meal.
The same might be said of the same-sex marriage fight. He didn't drive the process in the legislature; and he didn't get the gay nuptials bill he wanted. But his mere presence - he supports same-sex unions, his predecessor did not - represented a fundamental reshuffling of the political order that has allowed a compromise measure, civil unions, to proceed.
He is, in other words, quite relevant - even if the General Assembly remains the center of power.

Welcome to TDH!
First order of business is to replace the stock visor and cut out the plastic piece in the middle of the visor area. You can buy a dark welder's visor at Lowes or Home Depot and cut out a new T-visor to replace the stock visor.
How much would the dark welder's visor be?
Last edited by Raz Zencora; Sep 28, 2009 at 5:24 PM.
should be less then 20 bucks vod
whats your bucket made out of? looks a little warped.
A dark green welding visor will run about $5.00 give or take a buck or so.
The helmet looks to be a Rubies Boba Fett. They are noticious for being shaped poorly. There are a couple ways to fix this...
1. You can install a craft ring
2. You can just warn it in boiling water a moment, hand shape it correctly and put it in teh freezer for a couple minutes to set it's shape. This is fast cheap and easy bu, the helmet will warp again.
3. My favorite fix for this and it kills 2 birds with 1 stone... Get a visor from www.t-visors.com instead of the dark green wedling visor. The T-visors.com visor is a heavy and thick smoked plexiglass. If you force the helmet to shape around the visor when you install it, rather than forming the visor to the helmet, it will correct most of the shaping issues and give the helmet some flair.
Thanks for the info ner vods, but the helmet is fine. I fixed it a while ago because it was screwed up. I guess the right side needs to be pushed out some more... But now im working on the visor and the costume... Do any of you guys have and good advise about plastic bucket armor? Like how to cut it and stuff...
Hi there welcome to TDH . Plastic bucket or trashcan? Either way I would advise using a dremel. Those are easy to use and require less arm muscle to cut, I mean its a hand held electric rotary blade/edger/sander/whatever other attachments it has. If the dremel is not available to you, try tin snips. those can be a pain though b/c so much arm power is required. A large box cutter works too, but those can slice your finger (I wouldn't advise this as I sliced the top of my left index finger clear off... ).
If you dont like any of those ideas or you dont have a dremel, see if there is anyone else in your area that are in the mercs or on TDH as they often throw armor parties where im sure if you asked they would bring their dremel with and allow u to use it.
Tell is when u get to shaping them as u can shape them and which way with trashcan armor, but that will be another post
Plastic Bucket. And there is no other Mandos in my area as far as I know... My friend made a cool Mando Sniper costume but theres nobody else... Anybody live in Chicago, Illinois?
(Just brainstorming) Tribal Mando, any criticism?
ya know, that chest piece thingy would look AWESOME over some beskar...with the diamond under the laces...I like it!
And you might want to fix that visor...dang rubies...
Im trying to get my Dad to install it but he doesn't want to break the helmet!
Mando Mercs Yustapir Clan. Not sure if any of em are close to you, but there is a chapter in your area, so I'd assumer you have a few mercs roving around...
And what I've done on a rubies is just rip (or cut if you perfer neatness. ) the visor out, lay it onto what ever visor replacement you are using, then trace about 2cm bigger all the way around, cut out, place in helmet and trim as necissary.
Whats a good thing to where under the armor? Like im going o use a gray hoodie with gray sweatpants . Is there something better and cheap? (And wont overheat...)
If any of your relatives have sewing skills, you should get a armor/flack vest made to carry your armor on.
Unfortunately no mater what you do, it's going to be hot. It's armor, not a swimsuit. =)
"It's armor, not a swimsuit." That is the same thing I said to my Buir. What do you use to cover your necks?
You guys think I could add you as friends? It would be easier to contact you all... Plus, My friends list is lonley... Haha
To cover your neck?
Well, you could do a few things that I've seen some local Mandos do. (as well as myself)
You could use:
-A neck seal like the TK's use.
-A turtle neck sweater's collar. (I used this for a little while)
-Make an armored collar with some pvc pipe or something. (I thought that was cool)
-Or if you use a flight suit like I currently do, you can just use that collar. (It's kinda high)
-One of those ninja face mask things that I've seen some Boba, Jango, and Vader's use.
Oh! And I don't remember if I told you, but I'm using a Don Post Boba helmet too. What I did was cut out that whole plastic visor piece and replaced it with the welder's visor.
If it's a fear of messing up the structure of the helmet, then I'm sure another Mando near you could help. If you can find someone that is. It's actually not too hard, but you do have to be careful.
If you do that, I know that there isn't much extra room for gluing the visor in, but it should be just enough. Just place the welder's visor in front of the helmet's visor and trace it with about half an inch extra room to glue.
I would also suggest getting some bondo to fill in the Don Post logo on the back and the dent. (Unless you want the dent) For extra weathering, I used the "magic sock". (Put some gray/silver paint on the sock while inside out and lightly brush it on the helmet.)
Thank you, ner vod!
Ah, so it's YOU in this ad!
No, but thats really wierd... Haha HE COPIED ME! xD
Looking good, Raz!
Thank you vod!
looks great! but like people have said Rubies is usually not the way to go Terrible quality if you ask me. But people have fixed them up so we'll see how this turns out
Best of luck vod

Keith "Hey Jimmy, this pic was taken last week."
Last week? Either those are some very scraggly almond trees in the background or you have been holding the 10 framer's back (at the holding yard) with all the other 8 and 9 frame dinks once again.
What a shame. I heard form someone who says they got 120 for their dinks. Those look good enough to have placed a nice down payment on another bus or two.
Phil, I filmed that last week, I'm sure the trees are going by now, this thread promted me to post this on you-tube. I've had enough of the whinning.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
Yes i wonder to how much thought goes into that and if there are some possible simple changes that could go along way for both the bees and the almonds.
From a CA stand point sure almonds are good for the bees to build. but if those same bees were somewhere like say, south of arkansas and north of mexico i think they would be much better off. or maybe just south of canada where the dandelions grow
Yea and OLD timers need to know that times change. 30 years ago it was still a bee paradise.
This is long term
Kieth you only posted that video to look cool and wow that was cool
Well Jim, Just because we are paranoid doesn't mean THEY really aren't out to get you! Lol
The first time I saw my hives douched with fungicide I asked an old keeper about it. He said its good for the boxes -keeps fungus from growing on them . Guess he was right. No fungus on MY boxes.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
i know its not all bad.
and as for how much they pay for the bees, 150 is not enough for me i am greedy, i want more.
every third bite is worth it
Well we all want more money Ben. But the worst i ever see is a few hundred dead bees in front of the hives, likely from additives to the fungicide(direct knockdown). We see issues later on , but its hard to say if its from chemicals or varroa/viruses/drought.
Another good video:
Regards, Barry
Love the comments from the growers. I've known a lot of farmers in my life (and a lot of computer scientists) and they are not stupid. I don't think he is out there killing the bees he just paid big bucks for. He is probably using the best science he can find to find the optimal balance between healthy trees and healthy bees because he has a large, long term investment. What he needs always is better science to do this. What he doesn't need is chicken little in the laboratory. Big eco has its own credibility problems; they make big bucks in donations, the more alarm, the more donations, so in a way they are in the business of selling alarm. They said the feral hives were gone, not true, they said the polar bears are in trouble, not true, they said the climate system acts with positive feedback amplifying co2 forcing, not true. We are nowhere near a point where armies of people with little brushes do the pollinating.
BTW why can't growers lock the bees in for a day when they spray. Is that against their contract.
The fact is we live in a world with agriculture surrounding us. Farmers and growers of all kinds produce the food we eat. I live across the road from a pecan orchard covering 1500 acres with irrigated pecan trees. I did not see any bee losses in the six hives in my yard last summer and the hives are strong this Spring. The orchard manager and I have a good relationship and he is responsible in the timing and manner of his spray applications. There is middle ground on these issues.

[QUOTE=BTW why can't growers lock the bees in for a day when they spray. Is that against their contract.[/QUOTE]
We have quite a few hives out there. We are nearly 2,000 miles away, the folks that handle them place 10's of thousands. They are scattered in small bunches throughout the orchards. Bees fly several miles......... Getting the picture?
Last edited by jim lyon; 03-02-2013 at 02:05 PM.
I see. So if it costs $500 to send employees out one night to lock them in and another night to unlock, that tells me that the grower thinks the spraying will do less than $500 damage to his pollination effort.
There are somewhere around a million and a half hives in almonds, as we speak. Thousands of different farms…each on its own spraying schedule. $500? I'm thinkin' that you may have missed the magnitude of this endeavor.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Of course I wasn't thinking $500 would shut all the hives in almond country! I was giving a hypothetical example of the grower running some random orchard. Actually, I think you knew that. The point is that its all a cost benefit tradeoff, which the watermelons running big eco never seem to get.
>>There is middle ground on these issues.
Im glad to hear from the whole spectrum on these issues. Id say a lot of us sit on the middle ground.
Our cropping program requires a fungicide field spray during the crop bloom, as most fungicides are used. Im talking tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars of crop protection. Completely measurable . Fungicides are not used without reason,
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
Surfactant is what people are thinking of adding to sprays to help them 'stick' and 'spread' better. Typically it's a detergent to help break surface tension which is why it has toxicity to insects. Nice vid Keith.
yes, the surfactant is added to each of our tank loads

Are there periodic booms and busts in the diversity of life on Earth? Hear a tale of fossils and Fourier transforms
Brian Hayes
Life has its ups and downs. Half a billion years ago, the sudden
proliferation of hard-bodied creatures in the Cambrian period was an
uptick; the mass extinction that wiped out the last of the dinosaurs
at the end of the Cretaceous was a major downer.
Several students of the history of life have suggested that these
peaks and valleys have a regularity to them—that they are not
just random fluctuations but periodic oscillations, possibly
synchronized to some external pacemaker. In the 1970s Keith Stewart
Thomson, then of Yale University (and now a columnist for this
magazine), noted surges in the diversity of various animal groups at
intervals of 62 million years. Then Alfred G. Fischer and Michael A.
Arthur of Princeton University suggested that extinctions come in
waves every 32 million years. Later, David M. Raup and J. John
Sepkoski, Jr., of the University of Chicago offered a revised
mass-extinction timetable with a period of 26 million years. Now
there's yet another sighting of cyclic tides in biodiversity, this
time with super-imposed wavelengths of 62 million years (again!) and
140 million years. The new report comes from Richard A. Muller, a
physicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Robert A.
Rohde, a graduate student in physics at the University of
California, Berkeley. Their analysis was published in
Nature this past March.
To a naive observer, the sheer variety of these proposals invites a
certain skepticism. If there's a loud and steady drumbeat in the
history of life, shouldn't everyone hear the same rhythm? On the
other hand, if the signal is faint and has to be teased out of a
noisy background, could we be perceiving patterns in what is really
random noise? Just how do you go about detecting such an
oscillation, and how do you know whether or not it's real?
A reading of the various claims and counterclaims on periodicity in
the fossil record did not answer these questions for me. I felt an
urge to explore the data for myself, to see just how much teasing it
needs. Some years ago, such an undertaking would have been
unthinkable for anyone but insiders and experts—and I am
neither. But computational science is a great equalizer. The tools
and data are now widely available. The mathematics required is not
too daunting. Muller and Rohde have posted a detailed and very
helpful technical supplement—almost a how-to manual—on
the Nature Web site. If you're willing to write a few
programs, you too can create mass extinctions on your home computer.
Of course access to tools and data does not guarantee the skill to
use them well—as I shall demonstrate forthwith.

Hi all,
I'm going to be taking some hives off of an old friend's hands this week. I think one hive may have wax moths. What would be a quick way to rid the hive of this pest? I was thinking of just doing a shake down. Then cleaning the hive and freezing the frames. What do you think?

2008 The Naked Gun intro remade in GTA IV
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 10:21 PM MDT | By rappo
Much like Brotha's recreations of the GTA IV trailers in San Andreas, GamesRadar content editor Justin Towell has made his own little spoof remake this time using GTA IV. Here's the video, a recreation of the introduction from the movie The Naked Gun (if you haven't seen the original version, GamesRadar has it embedded in their article):
While I'm showing off some GTA IV videos, I'd also like to share with everybody this GTA IV stunt video. It's been circulating around the GTA community for a while now, but just in case you missed it be sure to check it out!

Our Wear Red Friday Hero
Information Traffic Cop
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - An integral part of 21st Space Wing at Peterson Air Force Base is someone who moves effortlessly to keep information moving on base. Tech Sgt Susan Hill is a Knowledge Operations Manager. That's fancy talk for someone who helps support 18 agencies to make sure deployments to paychecks get coordinated. Susan told me,"It makes me feel proud that I'm behind the scenes trying to make sure everything moves and if it doesn't, I can track down the reason why."
Another side to Susan Hill is her off base volunteer work. She has been a proud supporter of the Marian House Soup Kitchen to the ReStore store. Susan says, "I'm proud to be in the Air Force and give back to the community." TSgt Hill has enjoyed volunteer work since she was a teenager. She told me that she planted trees and picked up trash. She says it wasn't because she had to do it. She wanted to do it.
Her Boss, Robert L. Orwig Jr told me that Susan is diligent on duty to make sure things run smoothly and, "It's amazing how dedicated and energetic she is of helping others."
That's why TSgt Susan Hill is our Wear Red Friday Hero. You can nominate your own hero for this honor. Go back to our main page and scroll down the right side of it. You will see the nomination form under the Wear Red banner.

Hi all,
I have been researching oxalic acid vaporizers. This is what I built and wanted your opinions on it. I made everythingg from scrap I had in my shop. The box is a shallow supper that I screwed up and cut the boards too narrow. The first two pics show it set up for use with a portable propane torch. The last pic shows it set up for 12 volt use. All the copper fittings are tig welded for an air tight joint.
Let me know what you think,

Posted by Andrew Bartels on August 4, 2010
While taking in the latest US GDP report and its implications for the tech markets, I have been struck by a pattern of US business putting its money into technology instead of people. Part of the increased tech investment is replacement of old servers and PCs, but most investment has been in technologies to cut costs and improve efficiency. These purchases have been good news for the US tech market, which (as I predicted) is growing strongly. However, it is not so good for the overall economy. The lift to US economic growth from business IT investment is a positive, but the corporate reluctance to hire new employees is making consumers reluctant to spend. Moreover, much of the business investment in computer equipment is flowing overseas in the form of imports of these products, which is also hurting US GDP growth. So, the strong outlook for the tech market is paradoxically contributing to a less robust outlook for the US economy.
The US Department of Commerce released its preliminary report on US Gross Domestic Product in Q2 2010 last Friday, July 31, 2010, and today posted more detailed numbers on business investment in computer equipment and communications equipment. In addition to providing Q2 2010 data, there also were revisions in data for business investment in computer equipment, communications equipment, and software for 2007 to Q1 2010. So, let's look at what the latest data is saying about the state of the US tech market.

text: Need your expertise to determine if it is possible to establish the date and time of a truck accident with data from any of the onboard devises. The actual time of the crash has turned into a major legal dispute and establishment of the time of the crash will have major impact upon the parties to the issue. The crash, a single vehicle accident, occurred between 10:00PM on Saturday Feb. 11, 2012 and 4:00 AM Sunday Feb. 12, 2012 in a remote area.The sole occupant was knocked unconscious and has no recollection of the event. It has not been possible to reconstruct a timeline from other sources. The 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, 1/2 ton, Crew Cab, 4X4, VIN 3GCEK33389Gxxxxxx was equipped with almost every option available including On-Star and a factory radio system withGPS. The owner did NOT subscribe to On-Star and the service was inactive. On-Star customer assistance says that if the On-Star service were inactive, none of the onboard devices such as Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) or Air BagDeployment could initiate a call to On-Star's call center. We have explored the extraction of the data captured by the Sensing and Diagnostic Modules (SDM.) While this module contains captures a lot of data about the crash event it does not provide a date/time stamp as to the occurrenceof the event. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sometimes has time/date information stored, however, the clock appears to re-set anytime battery power is removed. Cannot prove, in a courtroom, that the battery power has never been disconnected since the crash. Is there any other device that would react to the onset of the crash and provide a link to the establishment of the time of the crash? Maybe the GPS? I hope some of you can provide insight to an answer.

Perched on the abyss, I was about to drop into a black hole ringed by surging white water. There was no turning back now. Paddle hard. Be aggressive. Follow my guide's line. As an avid sea kayaker I was eager to try white water for the first time. And where better than in the foothills of the Andes? I knew white water was a whole different skill set, but I was confident some of my sea kayaking knowledge would cross over. Turns out I was a little over-confident...

Hi! Bonjour,
We are from Montreal (Quebec) and will be traveling to NY by van on dec 13 (to visit) and on the 16th to attend the game on against he SeaHAWKS. I have read the carry-in policy regarding the lenght of the lens that are allowed into the stadium. Notably : Still-photography cameras with a lens that is 6 or less in length not contained in a case. I do own a Canon EF 70-200mm ( 7.8 in) wich is quite expensive, and I do not want to leave unattended in the parking lot. see : http://www.canon.ca/inetCA/products?...8&lang=en#_030
What are my options? Can I still carry this equipement with me...?
Best Regards, Merci!

I have a few different lines of genetics on my place and I am tempted to mark the daughter queens with different colors to easily distinguish them from each other.
Of course I mark the hive or mating nucs, but tape can fade or come off. Also folks sometimes have questions about their hives that are headed by my queens, but don't remember which strain they bought.
I am sure this has been discussed previously. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the subject.
Dedicate a color for each type?-or stick with universal yearly colors for all.

Ryan & Van Hollen Advance Bipartisan Budget Reform Aimed At Deficit Reduction
House Budget Committee leaders introduce the Expedited Line-Item Veto and Rescissions Act
Washington, November 30, 2011 | Conor Sweeney (Ryan) 202-226-6100 Nu Wexler (Van Hollen) 202-689-4295 |
WASHINGTON – Earlier today, House Budget Committee Ranking Member Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) introduced the Expedited Line-Item Veto and Rescissions Act of 2011, an act to help lawmakers target wasteful government spending to reduce the deficit and create a more conducive environment for job creation.
The bipartisan initiative gives the President a tool to go after unjustified spending, while also protecting Congress's constitutional authority to make spending decisions.
"Taxpayers deserve a system that is accountable, and this bipartisan legislation will provide another tool to ensure that we are good stewards of their money," said Ranking Member Chris Van Hollen. "We must do everything we can to make sure tax dollars are spent wisely and responsibly, and I look forward to continuing to work with my friend Chairman Ryan on this effort."
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan stated: "Building upon spending cuts already enacted this year and a ban on earmarks, this bipartisan proposal represents a common-sense effort to reduce low-priority government spending. I thank my friend and colleague Chris Van Hollen for his partnership as policymakers work to earn back the trust of hardworking taxpayers."

Like the title says. We finished up week ago good to be done.
Like the title says. We finished up week ago good to be done.
maybe three hundred supers left then done. Need to start feeding
should have about 400 supers to do pretty soon. that will be all.
Mark Berninghausen
Thought I was done, but apparently will be able to harvest at least 2 or 3 supers of goldenrod. Looking forward to that. -js
James Wagner
We just pulled our last 1/2-1 ton of honey today. Plan to extract on Wednesday.
Not quite done here. Couple more days should do it.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
We pulled Spring honey in July. Plan to pull the Fall flow (Goldenrod) late this month.
Experience isn't always the best way to learn...You usually get the lesson first...And the instruction afterwards...
Got the last dribbles of wildflower(Goldenrod and Aster) to go through in the shop, but right now feeding the first round takes priority.
Crazy Roland
I'm concerned about my fall harvest. I have 8 hives that I should be pulling honey from by now, based on last year's extraction times and surplus. I only pulled 9 capped frames so far. There is alot of uncapped honey, some empty cells. I was shocked actally.
Now, maybe 10 days makes a difference but I don't see how. Last year I pulled starting Oct 9th. I always leave half behind for them, or more depending on how much they have. But as of the last few days, it's not looking good for surplus honey. We are in Brazillian Pepper flow for another week or two. Unless they suddenly start capping, bad fall harvest for me. Though they will have enough for themselves for sure. That part is a relief.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Prvb 16:24
March 2010; +/- 50 hives, TF
Calendars are good for Holiudays and Anniverserys but not so much for when bees should be worked or honey taken off. Do what needs doing when it needs doing, not when the calendar tells you to.
Mark Berninghausen
Our last honey crop is just getting started. We usually wrap up around thanksgiving.
Clear Lake Wi. / Sebring Fl.
I only have about 20% pulled and extracted so far. If the weather holds up well I should be done in 3 weeks.
We redid extracting room and put in larger system. What I thought would be a 3 or 4 week job turned into 2 1/2 months. Redid floor putting in drain under cowen system, filled in pit and installed auger to sump mounted under converor . Put in maxant spinner. Then three motors decided to quit in two days...one had just been rebuilt. The result is normally I'm done extracting in august. Still have honey on 370 hives. Working festivals on weekends then rain during week. Most have 4 to 5 mediumns . So i figure 1400 to go. Should be in Florida for pepper but here I am in KY. Anyone looking for a job?? Oh what a mess...anything that can go wrong has....hard to pull honey extract bottle and deliver along with festivals. Stay busy this time of year bottling and with festivals let alone extracting.

Finished up yesterday. The 3 month siege is officially over and it's also the reason I'm stalling in my office this morning....today is cleanup.
I feel your pain, been there done that. That happens a lot after a remodel, everything looks great until you actually start using it, then the problems begin. Hey, at least you have honey to run.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Rick, I know what you mean. I setup a new extracting setup in a new building this year. Then honey started coming in 3 weeks early this year. Hurry , Hurry, Hurry.
Here comes the rain again.
Cleaning up machines and emptying tanks today. Last batch of wax going in the melter.
Just got the last of my honey off of the hives today. Colonies are looking good and strong.
Mark Berninghausen
Today is our last day and it feels good.
Decent crop hope the bee's hold up so we can do it again.
Been at it since Sept 4th. Will finish up Tuesday. Break down and clean equipment then barrel up the tank on Wednesday.
Ive got contract honey sitting up in pulled supers, Ive gotta clear our a bottling tank for it. bleh.

Hello all,
We are tentatively thinking about beginning a queen rearing operation next year, and I am wondering if 50 queens at a time, totaling to 200 hundred throughout the season, is too much to expect for a first year. I would plan to have 50 mini nucs, so that is all I can raise "at a time". I am just wondering if selling two hundred queens in our very first season is too preposterous to expect, or maybe should I expect to sell more? The queens would be Russians.
Also, to those who ship queens: How do you estimate shipping costs? I am (not willingly) pretty ignorant concerning methods of shipping and suchlike, but I am stumped as to how I would find shipping costs.
Any help and/or input on either of these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

I've been thinking about different ways to make rapid increase while maintaining the ability to have 'true readings' of mite tolerance. I've rejected the high-power approach of adding a grafted queen to brood and flying bees supplied by big comb/brood doner hives on the following basis:
The queen and the 'starter' bees are unrelated, and therefore the performance of the hive in the early weeks will be a function of the donated flying bees, not the queen's bees. This will tend to obscure performance data during the first couple of months.
I realise the effect will be short lived - but thinking about this made me realise something else. The hive ecology will also be foreign to that queen's genetic make up. I think that might matter more.
I could be over-thinking at this stage.. but I'm wondering if one of the factors that enables swarms to outperform manufactured nucs, as is commonly reported, might not be the ideal evolved combination of the strain and the hive ecology that accompanies it.
If there's any truth in that, then it would be best to develop a production method that maintains this combination, rather than one that denys it.
One feature of the ecology that would be preserved is the co-evolved nature of the bee-mite combination. Bees geared up to controlling mites in a certain way may come ready equipped with mites that are amenable to being controlled in that way. And that might well make a big difference. [This idea appears to be deflated in a reply below - see #10 and #11. - MB]
Bringing these ideas into play would entail something closer to walk-away splits, or building hives large then splitting them up (preferably with swarm cells ready to go), rather than a (more efficient and rapid) separate Q-raising plus comb/brood/bee-raising operation.
Does anyone have any thoughts about any of that?

What should constitute a museum collection in the 22nd century? How can human material production be best displayed, interpreted, or understood? The Field Museum has embarked on Contemporary Urban Collections: Material Ethnography of City Life, a new initiative to answer these questions.
Today--and for the foreseeable future--the majority of the world's people live in urban regions. The Field Museum's anthropology collections contain the world's heritage, but there is a gap in the representation of urban life, particularly from the mid-20th century forward. Archaeological collections primarily focus on city-states, including Mesopotamia and the ancient Americas, and ethnological collections concentrate on art and objects of indigenous peoples of the late 19th or early 20th centuries. To bring The Field Museum's collection into the future, we are partnering with DePaul University's Department of Anthropology, and others, to collect and document anthropologically the material components of our present urban life.
This project falls into three phases:
Occasional Symposia. We will convene leading researchers on urban life and material culture for periodic discussions of the collection's thematic organization and content.
Development of a Field Seminar. Similar to the Newberry Library's Center for Renaissance Studies, this seminar will create a lasting partnership with area faculty to enhance course offerings focused on the relationship between people, place, and objects. Seminar participants will contribute to the establishment of the collection and its contextualization.
Building a New Collection. A new collection will be created that will include photographs, video, and material artifacts of various kinds. It will reflect contemporary urban life, the relationship between people and their environments, and the folk arts of city dwellers.

Lone defendant 'offered no apology'
RUSSELL COUNTY, Tenn. - It was a nearly 12-hour long trial that ended in the conviction of Castlewood, Virginia high school students Kenneth Otto Purkey, Jonathan Corey Lasley and Nicholas Wythe Kiser, who were charged with sexually assaulting a classmate.
Each were tried as adults and found guilty of two felony charges. "One [charge] was object sexual penetration, the other was conspiracy to commit object penetration," said Brian Patton, the Commonwealth's Attorney. Click here to read more about the charges.
Patton says the defendant claimed the sexual assault was 'just a joke.' "The defendant's statements in their arguments were they were all the time pulling each other's pants down and picking at each other, doing the typical locker room pranks," he said.
However, Patton says this so-called joke was downright bullying and tells us the defendants never really acted as if they understood the severity of their actions.
We learned Nick Kiser was the only defendant of the three to take the stand. The Commonwealth's Attorney tells News 5 Kiser said he wasn't ashamed of anything he had done and offered no apology.
Patton says the victim has 'mental limitations' and tells us the evidence of that helped in the case. "In speaking for the court, the judge, when he found them guilty, he stated on the record that looking at this group, the victim in this case is the obvious target for this type of behavior because he's smaller than the rest of them and he has more mental limitations than the rest of them," said Patton.
Patton goes on to say the three boys are facing five years to life in prison. "Unfortunately for both sides, it's going to be a sad result for both of them. The victim will have to deal with it the rest of his life and now the three aggressors are going to have to deal with the consequence of their actions for the rest of their lives," said Patton.
Those were the same sentiments of those around the community we spoke to.
We also spoke with the father of the victim. He told us he was happy with the outcome of the trial, but had no further comment.
The boys will go back to court for sentencing on September 12. Until then, they will be held in the Highlands Detention Center.
Patton tells us aside from the prison time, the boys will also be listed as sex offenders for life.

It's scary to sell anything now days,, you don't really know half the people that approach you. Nine times outa 10 I only sell anything to someone I've known for years or trade or sell to a shop towards something else I'd like.
Then again I have 99% hunting guns and I'm not really all that into lots of the tac cool type guns. Mausers , Springfields, and stuff like that is what I like mostly. Yup got a couple AR's and AK's but there set up for hunting too,, and of course for the occasional desparado tin can or two that may come around. I'd never even thought about a drum mag before I came hereThe types of guns I have sold aren't the kind of guns that would be desirable to a crook anyhow, after all, who's going to buy a $2K,,25 lb target gun to rob a Mom & Pop store?? Or a stock configuration Mossin or Krag, Mauser or the like.
That was a good call , double checking on your part 1biggun. What strangers I have sold to,,, I've done checks and watched how they talked about guns in general before I ever sold anything to anybody. Even with them, they'd have to know someone trustworthy I know that will vouch for them long before I'd sell something to someone I don't know. Period
Ya Ya I know,,, what to hell am I on an AK builders site for??? The good folks, the old vets like me and the good advice and proper machining tecniques I've gotten from others on and tech/repair advice on couple of the semi tac cool guns I do have,, I guess.
It's not really hard to pick out the nut cases when you talk to them sometimes, the "zombie slayer" types and the ,,," I can shoot 200 rounds in a minite" from there c-CLIPS,,,,,assholes,,, WTF is up with this zombie crap anyhow???? I don't get it!! Where did all these clowns come from?? The mall? The air soft crowd? Vidio games Where?
Most have never been in combat or have the least idea as to what they have will do, or have ever been shot at,, bunch of idiot's that were raised on computer games. And they think it is normal to have all the body armor, swat type knee pad multi pouch set ups. Sad part is that people like them make the wrong impression on the average person, not everyone that has a gun is someone that has to have this or that type of laser, lights, bayonet mount, fore grip, compensator and don't get me started on rails, some of these abortions have enough rails on them to park the whole God Damn B&O Railroad rolling stock on,,,, wtf????
No wonder we have such a up hill battle against us, this is all the libs are seeing and hearing in news,the movies and with these nut jobs that doing these shootings, the gang bangers shoot up the hood,, not wonder there ,, well,,, "up in arms",,,, this is all there exposed to. Understanding where there coming from,, can ya really blame them? There uneducated about fire arms and firearms people, and they are only exposed to what they see in the movies and in games, and in the news. They more than likely don't know anyone with a gun nor have an oppertunity to even see one on a regular basis,, if ever.
Maybe some counter measures are in order, like some films with family's out teaching there kids to shoot spinners and cans at a local range, father and son's,,,, mom's and daughter's,, out hunting together in a National Forest, in the pinney woods, sitting around a camp fire telling story's , enjoying a meal of wild game,,,,just a good honest representation of what gun ownership and hunting is really all about for 99.9% of us.
You can't argue a point with someone if neaither have an idea where the other is coming from, we need some positive stuff put out there. Nothing else seems to have worked, might be worth a try.

Infosys Signs Automation Deal, Shares Jump 2%
Shares of Infosysy (INFY) have jumped 2.3% to $41.73 today. The reason: A deal with IPSoft that could boost profits and be a sign its ready to take cost cutting seriously.
Livemint.com explains:
Infosys Ltd has signed a revenue-sharing agreement with IPsoft Inc., which uses software robots to replace human engineers, as part of the Indian company's efforts to cut costs and gain more business from big clients that are adopting a pay-per-use billing model to reduce expenses.As part of the partnership, the companies will establish a centre to train employees on the deployment of US-based IPsoft's automation platform IPcenter at Infosys's Mysore campus. India's second largest software exporter said it plans to train about 5,000 employees in the next few months.
CLSA's Nimish Joshi says this is good news for the beaten-down IT company. He writes:
Greater automation should help in non-linear growth for the company, which is now already 156,688 people strong. This also gives a strong differentiated offering for Infosys in the Infrastructure management space, the segment which has been the growth driver for the sector, and where Infosys has the lowest exposure.
Our current target price of Rs2605/sh gives 16% upside from current levels. The new service line, which has been the growth driver for Indian IT. ( HCLT and TCS' recent revenue outperformance is in part owing to their higher exposure in this service line). Easier to automate, it also provides ~ 1.5 X Revenue/employee as compared to a typical bread-n-butter Application development contract.
Shares of Infosys had dropped 24% during the past month, after reporting disappointing earnings earlier in April. The iShares MSCI India Index ETF (INDA) and the WisdomTree India Earnings ETF (EPI) had both gained 3.3% during that period. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) had lost 0.2%.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, but what are you basing your opinion on Byron? I have no poinion on what's going on because I think its all a bunch of friggin spin and/or an attemp to get attention.
I mean you seem to be taking the position that "it must be true if its on the internet".
