I don't do a lot of announcements about upcoming books, but these two from First Second Books are worth mentioning. Paul Pope (who created the bizarre dystopian Batman: Year 100) has an upcoming book (years in the making!) entitled Battling Boy. A young boy, son of a war god, has been "assigned" to be the hero of Arcopolis, a large city overrun by monsters.
According to this article in Entertainment Weekly (which also includes a preview of the comic), Pope's aim isn't just to create another comic book superhero, but to dig deeper into the very concept of superheroes. He wanted to create Battling Boy for the current generation of kids reading comics because he felt that a lot of the heroes we're familiar with are no longer culturally relevant.
Whether Pope can pull all of this off — even if you agree with his assessment of Batman and Iron Man, which of course isn't certain — remains to be seen. The preview pages, at least, have me excited to see where the story goes. Battling Boy is due out in October and is available for pre-order now.

For a quick and satisfying last-minute supper, it's hard to beat a sweet potato zapped in the microwave. The fragrant filling of beans and tomato adds protein, making it a nutritionally complete entree. Be sure to eat the potato skin; it's full of fiber.

Step 1
Prick sweet potatoes with a fork in several places. Microwave on High until tender all the way to the center, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place in a baking dish and bake at 425ºF until tender all the way to the center, about 1 hour.)
Step 2
Meanwhile, combine beans, tomato, oil, cumin, coriander and salt in a medium microwave-safe bowl; microwave on High until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, heat in a small saucepan over medium heat.)
Step 3
When just cool enough to handle, slash each sweet potato lengthwise, press open to make a well in the center and spoon the bean mixture into the well. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Good bed, good location, good kitchen, good clean bathroom, the hostess was polite, close to city center.
No Wi-Fi, no heating. The price for this unit was overpriced in comparison to the units from other websites for rental apartments. We feel we had been taken advantage of due to the trade show at the time. It was a hotel price without hotel accommodations.
Overall, I am satisfied with the stay the hostess was very polite and helpful. I would come again but I would review the pricing ahead of time in the future.

Everything was perfect .
Flat not so far from the center of the city, 5 minutes to underground Station.
Quite easy to reach from airport (Train + Metro).
The flat was clean enough, very good space for 5 people.
Kitchen have all the basic tools necessary to survive, the owner is flexible for arrival times.
Just a couple of suggestion:
- keep some cleaning tools and products in the house just if people need to wash dish;
- please call if you can not come to take back the keys, we wait 20 minutes for nothing at the end.
For the rest really good and suggest for your staying in Koln!!
the photographs did not represent the accommodation, which was very tired and had a few issues. altogether our stay was not unduly effected by these.
Cologne is a fabulous city worth a visit, it has a very efficient infra structure which makes getting about very easy.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
buiseness. good locaion. clean, comfortable.
Nice apartment, with good equipment, confortable and totally renoved.
Everything nice and clean, but the apartment was not very close to a metro station... and far from the city centre
Apartment was booked as 2nd apartment due to increase in our numbers, was very close to our other apartment. We were met by host and showed the apartment and wifi etc. In a good location only 2 stops from airport and 2 more into centre. Ideal for party of a small number

Vulnerability scanning / pentesting tools
I need your help in choosing some security tools. We will improve our security program and I have to propose some vulnerability scanning / penetration testing tools that we will buy.
Our network has around 3000 active IPs, and we have almost 40 IPs in the DMZ.
I have thought about some tools, and I should provide my managers some reasons why I did choose a particular one (for example in category Networks scanners I chose Nessus, and I can justify this on a Forrester research). Here are my categories and my picks:
Network scanning:
1. Nessus (cheaper ~ 3600$ for 3 licenses, very good product, and we already have it)
2. Nexpose (very good but will cost us 40.000$ /year)
3. Qualys
Database vulnerability scanners
1. DB Audit – good reviews; 4500$ for 10 servers
2. Appdetective – more expensive
3. Pangolin – amazing SQL injection tool. It costs 2000$ and maybe I will convince them to buy it together with DB Audit
Web application
1. Burpsuite pro – 225$ plus Accunetix – 5000$
2. Webinspect – 6000$
3. Appscan – 15.000$
Penetration testing
1. Core impact – 20.000$ plus Metasploit framework
2. Metasploit express – 3000$
3. Saint exploit – 20.000$ ?
Besides this we will use some open source tools, but we need also good commercial tools (management get excited about support )
If I miss some categories please tell me.
So, I would like hear your suggestions and opinions.

Even confirmed carnivores will love this meatless chili because it's rib-sticking thick. If you like, add a dollop of low-fat sour cream or nonfat plain yogurt to each serving. Or try it with minced scallions and a little shredded Cheddar. In any case, have bottled hot red pepper sauce on hand to pass alongside.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Moving to arizona…any ideas? (pinetop and Sedona)
Mar 23, 2013 at 8:04 pm #1300804
Hey everyone!
Its been a while since I have been on the site, hope everyone is doing well!
Well, I am moving to North East Arizona (Pinetop) in a few weeks. So…if anyone has tips on places to backpack around there I am ALL EARS!
I am also going next week to look for a place to live, and am gonna be stoping in Sedona for a day or two. I am hoping to get a nice long day hike in while I am in Sedona. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good hike in the area? ANy tips would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS!!Mar 23, 2013 at 8:49 pm #1968934
My best advice would be to look at Hike Arizona for trails: http://hikearizona.com/
If you click on the GPS route for a trail, it takes you to a screen with a map of the route. If you right-click on the map, you can then select "All Routes" or "Official Rts" and get many more trails in the same area plotted. Makes for easy trip planning and took me awhile to figure out, which is why I mention it.
Near Pinetop, I have done one trail in the White Mountains called the East Baldy Trail (http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=2308). It was a short but nice backpack despite almost getting struck by lightning.
Sedona is a nice area but some of the canyons can get pretty hot. I've hiked Parsons Trail (http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=86) and Taylor Cabin (http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=755) before and would recommend them both, although Taylor Cabin would be a tough day hike IMO – lots of rocky sections and several overgrown parts. The West Fork of Oak Creek trail (http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=147) is probably the most popular trail in Sedona and looks spectacular, but I haven't hiked it yet.
Hope that gives you a starting point.Mar 24, 2013 at 11:04 am #1969041
Thanks John! THats definitely a good start! Ill be sure to check out those trails around Sedona. I know it can get pretty hot out there, but Ive been checking the weather forecast for next week, and the temperatures seem pretty mild.
It looks like Pinetop is surrounded by lots of wilderness, so hopefully Ill be able to find some good spots out there!!Mar 25, 2013 at 12:32 pm #1969415
Chris RamiasMember
Pinetop is in the White Mountains, there's lots of good trails close to the town though many of them are dayhike sort of trails. For more serious backpacking, there's the Mt. Baldy Wilderness, Bear Wallow Wilderness, Escudilla Wilderness, and Blue Range Primitive Area all within easy driving distance. The Blue Range Primitive Area (and the continguous Blue Range Wilderness, over the border in New Mexico) is probably the best bet for extended backpacking nearby, its close to 200K acres and wild enough that it is where the USFWS decided to release Mexican Gray Wolves in 1998 and subsequent years. There's a good trail network through the area which you can use for multiple long trips.
Unfortunately this part of Arizona has been ravaged by repeated large-scale wildfires in the last decade, and a lot of these areas have been severely affected. You'll need to do some research to find the places that are still intact (for instance the Mt. Baldy Wilderness trails were largely unaffected).Mar 25, 2013 at 8:11 pm #1969581
Thanks Christopher, that is some great advice! I think I am really just gonna have to stop in some ranger stations once I get there, and get a few maps and talk to rangers. I have grown up in California and backpacked all over the state, so I am really excited to get out there into some new terrain in a new state!Mar 26, 2013 at 5:55 am #1969663

@hknewmanLocale: Western US
A little further, there's the Mazatzal (I've hiked along the interior Verde River) and the Superstitions (going from desert to forest – Reavis Ranch is usually cooler than the lower elevations and the off-trail Reavis Falls is pretty neat). There are various public lands around Phoenix but many are dry and may need to be shared with mountain bikers.
Down in Tucson, there's the Catalina Mountains (with various streams) and the Rincons (joint between NPS – East Saguaro and USFS eastern Rincons, NPS – West Saguaro didn't allow backpacking last I checked). A little further is the Guilaros (very rocky – need good footwear), Aravaipa, and Safford-Morenci trail.Mar 26, 2013 at 7:38 am #1969681
Christopher's post is right on – that's a good summary of Eastern AZ wilderness areas. The Mazatzals and Superstitions might be good options to hike in the winter, especially if you're looking for some where with less snow than Pinetop. I was actually just at Reavis Ranch last weekend – wild temperature variations of about 45 degrees.
I would say the Catalinas, Rincons, and Galiuros might be a little far from Pinetop, but each person's willingness to drive is different. The Catalinas are great and I've hiked almost every trail in the range. That said, you tend to run out of trail or out of water pretty quickly there. Wilderness of Rocks is a good and popular trail in the Catalinas that you can link up with others; Lemmon Pools is nice to visit too if you can find them.
The Galiuros are a very remote sky island range. I spent 4 days there in February this year and saw a total of 4 people on my first day and no one after that; I spent another 4 days there in March last year and saw 0 people the whole time. If you go there, I would recommend the Powers Garden trail for your first visit: http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=17478
Powers Spring is probably the only reliable source of water in the Galiuros, although seasonal springs and water sources do exist.
One long trail close to Pinetop is the Highline Trail near Payson: http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=757
Another nice trail on the Mogollon Rim is the Cabin Loop trail: http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=797
And I've always wanted to hike the Blue River trail and go to Hannah Hot Springs: http://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=678Mar 26, 2013 at 11:06 am #1969741
You guys rock!! All these trip ideas are getting me excited to move out there and hit the trails!! The Reavis Falls and the Hannah hotsprings look awesome!
Like I said before Im used to hiking in California and the Sierra Nevada Mountains…are there any differences I should be aware of when hiking in AZ…it seems like there is less water. ANything else? ANy different gear that I should consider getting?Mar 26, 2013 at 11:53 am #1969760
Any other tips for a long-ish day hike in Sedona? Ive been looking on hikearizona.com, but there are so many trails I dont even know where to start. Looking for something 5-10 miles in length that gives me a good idea of what Sedona and the Red Rocks is all about, and hopefully not a popular trail with lots of people.
Thanks!Mar 26, 2013 at 1:33 pm #1969795
Sedona is in general a pretty popular hiking place. Every one in Phoenix flocks there to beat the heat. Here are some ideas (I've only done the first):
Parsons trail: accessible by car, very pretty, few people
Secret Canyon trail: accessible by 4×4 only, seems to be what you want
Boynton Canyon trail: might also be a good hike, not sure about accessMar 26, 2013 at 4:03 pm #1969852
Hey John
I saw Secret Canyon Trail, but we're renting a small car, not sure if it would make it to the trail head. Ill definitely look into Parsons trail and Boynton Canyon Trail.
Thanks for the advice!Mar 26, 2013 at 4:58 pm #1969862
Chris RamiasMember
Wilson Mountain trail is a good dayhike, accessible by paved road and great panoramas of the Sedona area.
If you've hiked in southern California deserts Arizona is not too different. Always know your water sources and carry redundant containers. Wear long pants and long sleeves if you can tolerate them – there's lots of scratchy stuff here and bushwhacking can be a pain.
Also, Arizona has a lot of fairly neglected trails and wilderness areas. There's actually a whole ton of protected wilderness areas in this State, but outside of the Canyon, Sedona, and the wildernesses near major towns (basically the Superstitions and the Catalinas), they're largely unknown and lightly visited. This is a wonderful thing if you like solitude, however if you've spent most of your time hiking in well-loved areas like the Sierra, it can take a bit of adjustment. Most trails in this state are in varying states of disrepair. You can't assume just because a trail is on the map that there'll be any sign of it at all on the ground. You'll need to spend more time navigating than you're used to – a GPS is a good idea. You'll need to learn to pick out almost-invisible trails based on vague signs, and separate cow paths from designated trails.Mar 27, 2013 at 6:46 pm #1970322
Don MorrisMember
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Gila Wilderness, just over the border in New Mexico. Not immediately in the Pinetop vicinity, but only a few hours drive away, and many great trail heads available on the west side.
Something entirely different would be backpacking in Canyon de Chelly National Monument, but that requires elaborate preparations (and some $$).Mar 27, 2013 at 8:43 pm #1970357
whats this Canyon de Chelly National Monument you speak of. I looked it up, and it looks just like another national park. Why does it require elaborate planning and money??Mar 28, 2013 at 3:24 am #1970400
Nick GatelBPL Member
@ngatelLocale: Southern California
It is a different kind of National Park. The land is not federal land. It is owned by the local Native American tribe and administered by the NPS.
You cannot travel in most areas without a guide.
Beautiful place.

Movie Review: Oblivion

Even Tom Cruise can't save this one.

Director: Joseph Kosinski
Rating: PG-13
Studio: Chernin Entertainment / Radical Studios
Stars: Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman
The annual summer blockbuster demolition derby movie season means it's time to dish up some of that good ol' sci-fi dystopia. Oblivion, a paranoid's paradise, is set on the barren, desolate late 21st century wasteland Planet Earth, decimated by both an alien attack and by the humans' attempt to bombard the invaders with planet-destroying nukes.
Despite the spectacularly photogenic CGI debris all around them, our hero and heroine, Tom Cruise and Andrea Riseborough, two survivors charged with wiping out the last remnants of resistance, live in a posh, unreal-seeming floating pad as sleek and chilly as something out of an Apple commercial. They're gearing up for their exodus to one of Saturn's moons, leaving the radiation-decimated planet to the beastly aliens called Scavengers, but that doesn't mean that Riseborough can't traipse around in designer chic and spiky shoes. It's all very Jetsons. As for why Cruise is all blank-eyed and sad, we're told that the drone repairman he plays has had a memory wipe. This may account for his ability to spout, straight-faced, such dialogue as, "I can't shake the feeling that despite all that has happened, Earth is…still my home." A memory wipe may also account for the fact that neither the actors nor the characters seem to recognize they're piloting a vehicle recycled from odds and ends of Kubrick, Wall-E, Matrix and Moon. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (TRON: Legacy) from an unpublished graphic novel, Oblivion is great to look at but much tougher to care about.
The characters are ciphers, the actors given little more to do than act as information-givers and plot-pushers. Curvy Olga Kurylenko turns up to be saved by Cruise as the lone survivor of a crash; our hopes rise, but it becomes obvious that she's only around to help the hero See Things Clearly and change his life. Morgan Freeman shows up late, spouts some eye-rolling dialogue but at least does it while wearing shades, presumably for the sake of plausible deniability.
Oblivion seems at war with itself, often reaching for something actually poetic, smart, even meditative, then awkwardly lumbering back into big action-adventure mode, perhaps to justify its big budget. It's a movie that carries the whiff of having been crushed and dumbed down after dodgy audience reaction screenings. How else to explain that it begins with an endless, overly explanatory voiceover that makes you want to shout, "For the love of Mike, just get on with it!"? At least it's not a sequel, nor does it obviously lend itself to one. Sometimes bad ideas ought to be allowed to die of loneliness.

Allergy Drops & Sprays Poisonous If Swallowed
Spring and fall are both beautiful seasons, but for some people they are the time when allergies flare up and cause a lot of misery. This is also when you start seeing a lot of prescription and over the counter nose sprays and eye-drops around the house.
These products work great when used as directed, but the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) warns that they are poisonous if swallowed. It only takes less than a fifth of a teaspoon to seriously harm a child.
Parents and caregivers often leave these products out where curious toddlers can find them. Since they do not come in child-resistant packaging little ones can easily open them.
Eye drops injured more than 4500 children under the age of 5 from 1997 to 2009. Nasal sprays injured more than 1,100 children in the same age group during those years according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC.)
The eye drops in question work by causing blood vessels in the eye to constrict. The nose sprays work in a similar fashion by constricting vessels in the nose. Visine is one of the most popular eye drop brands purchased and Afrin, Dristan and Mucinex nose sprays are often used for nasal allergies.
All these products contain a class of drugs called imidazolines. The active ingredients are tetrahydrozoline, naphazoline, or oxymetazonline. When applied as directed, the drugs only affect the area where they are used - such as the eyes or nose. If any of these chemicals are swallowed, then they quickly affect other areas of the body.
"Generally, symptoms can occur in as little as one hour, peaking at eight hours, and resolving after 12-36 hours," a CPSC briefing paper notes. "Even though the symptoms resolve in a relatively short amount of time, ingestion of imidazolines can result in severe life-threatening consequences, such as decreased breathing, decreased heart rate, and loss of consciousness that require hospitalization to ensure recovery."
The CPSC has asked for a new rule that requires child-resistant packaging for eye drops and nose sprays but that hasn't happened yet. If the rule should be finalized, manufacturers will still have at least a year to comply.
Right now, there are lots of these products in use and in homes where small children live. The FDA has a list of suggestions to help avoid accidental poisoning.
- Store medicines in a safe location that is too high for young children to reach or see.
- Never leave medicines or vitamins out on a kitchen counter or a child's bedside.
- If a medicine bottle has a safety cap, relock it each time you use it.
- Remind babysitters, houseguests, and visitors to keep purses, bags, or coats that have medicines in them away and out of sight when they are in your home.
- Avoid taking medicines in front of young children because they like to mimic adults.
Many parents or caregivers probably aren't aware of how dangerous these products can be if swallowed. It's a good idea to take a walk around the house and make sure that there aren't any sitting on the counters or in a drawer where little hands can reach.
A list of products containing the drugs mentioned above can be viewed by clicking on the link below.

SAN FRANCISCO — Drakes Bay Oyster Co. owner Kevin Lunny will now have to wait on a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the fate of his Point Reyes oyster farm.
A three-judge panel heard arguments Tuesday as the oyster company seeks an injunction to halt closure.
"We didn't know we would ever have to go through a political battle, not only to protect our way of life but to protect sustainable agriculture in West Marin from government abuse," Lunny said on the steps of the courthouse after the hourlong hearing. He criticized "the misuse of science to drive an agenda for a human-less landscape that we think will benefit very few people."
In February, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected a preliminary injunction to halt the federally ordered closure of the oyster operation in the Point Reyes National Seashore.
The 9th circuit court agreed to hear the case and review Rogers' decision. Lunny needs a temporary injunction to allow him to continue to operate until his lawsuit challenging the closure can be heard.
An attorney for Lunny and the government had about 30 minutes each to argue their cases before the three-judge panel — justices M. Margaret McKeown, Paul J. Watford and Algenon L. Marbley — in a packed courtroom. Their ruling is expected in the coming weeks.
The closure order came on Nov. 29 of last year, when Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced he would allow a 40-year lease — originally negotiated with the Johnson Oyster Co. in 1972 and taken on by Drakes Bay — to expire. In 1972, the federal government bought the land from Johnson for $79,200 and provided the lease. Lunny took over the lease in 2004.
Salazar wrote in his decision that Lunny was explicitly informed "no new permit will be issued" after the 2012 expiration date.
Lunny representative Amber Abbasi told the panel Salazar was wrong to disregard scientific reports and an environmental review process in coming to his decision.
Justice Department attorney David Gunter argued that Salazar was within his purview to make the policy decision without the considerations.
"I think this court rightly understands and acknowledges that this is a public policy matter and that Secretary Salazar's order was rightly based on public policy," said Amy Trainer, executive director of the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin. "The public interest demands that the property owned by all Americans be converted to wilderness. It's owned by all of us, and it belongs as wilderness."

Truthfully the amount of customization makes me want to pick up BF
Fallback Spawn - We've received a ton of feedback on our spawn mechanic! It was clear that the initial system occasionally placed players too close to harm's way. This new update changes where you spawn in vs. the proximity of enemy players when using fallback spawn. We are also investigating Fireteam spawns for the final game.
Weapon Tuning - We've listened to your feedback regarding weapons and have tweaked them accordingly.
Player Dropout – We've addressed some issues regarding player connectivity and should have a more stable connection to game servers.
Results looked great during internal testing, so please leave any and all feedback here on the Battlelog forums.
There were numerous reports about "invisible weapons" and "invisible characters" showing up. The team has verified that this is a beta-specific unlocks issue and has confirmed that this is not an issue in the final version of the game.

Taste Council's Summer Feast in Macreddin "one of the greatest events in Irish culinary history"
In John McKenna's final blog of 2011, he announced his Megabytes Awards and we were thrilled to be included.
Inspiration of the Year: The Taste Council Summer School, Brook Lodge, Macreddin
Some events are important because they create a new language with which we can dicuss the things that matter. The first Taste Council Summer School, orchestrated by Evan Doyle and held at Macreddin's Brook Lodge Hotel, was just such an event and its three sessions, on Middle Farm Agriculture, Education and Food, and Brand Ireland, have given Irish food a new lexicon within which we can frame the debate of the future and our food. The evening feast, with all the food coming from Wicklow (save for David Llewellyn's Dublin wines), was one of the greatest events in Irish culinary history.

Soon after Peter was born, the hospital screened his hearing and found a possible hearing loss. Peter was referred for more testing, which showed that he did, indeed, have a hearing loss. Peter's parents were shocked. First, they had no idea that doctors could check a newborn's hearing, and second, their son?
If you've recently found out that your child has a hearing loss, this resource sheet is for you. Whether your child is a newborn, a preschooler, or older, there's help available. There are service systems in place to help your child and your family, and there are many groups with important information to share. This fact sheet can help you connect with both.

Nineteen years ago, Nicola Heath and Jeff Mann knew they'd found the home for them when they stepped out to the rear of this West End Rd property.
Before them lay a large, sheltered, north-facing back yard with little development but obvious potential.
Nicola recalls the back yard being empty apart from a few fruit trees and "a clothesline smack-bang in the middle, surrounded by concrete".
Jeff adds, "When we walked out and saw the back yard we immediately thought, 'swimming pool'."
That was one of the first improvements they made, dropping a pool in the dip behind the house and surrounding it with decking. This arrangement also helped link the house with the rest of the back yard, which has been terraced, levelled and planted in a subtropical style.
Beyond the pool is a concreted area where their three children can skateboard or practise netball or basketball. A flat lawn is great for cricket and as a site for trampolines.
Jeff says one of the best investments they made was lighting the pool and back yard, because it not only looks spectacular but also encourages children to play outside long into the night.
"When you are entertaining here, you can have six friends over with all their kids - but with the kids playing in the back yard you can hardly hear them," he says.
Outdoor entertaining is made easy with a roofed patio that overlooks the pool and has bifolds out to it from the living room and the kitchen/dining room. This space has an overhead heater that makes it useable all year round. Off to one side, and tucked against the house, is a spa pool that is also covered. Jeff says that having the spa pool to warm up in means the swimming pool gets used even when the weather starts to turn cold.
The outdoor area is one of the many improvements the couple have made to the bungalow, as well as a second renovation of the kitchen and main bathroom.
Ease of use drove the design of the latest version of the kitchen, which has a stone breakfast bar and clever features such as soft-close drawers, overhead hatches and a workspace/appliance cupboard where the clutter can be hidden away behind sliding doors.
Past the tiled bathroom are four bedrooms towards the front of the house - two either side of the hallway - with the master bedroom having an en suite and walk-in wardrobe. A window seat takes in a view of the lush front garden backdropped by a brick wall that was made using the bricks from the home's old chimney. The wall - with keypad entry on the gate - provides security and a sound barrier against traffic noise, making the home surprisingly quiet.
Stairs near the front door take you up to a carpeted second living room above the garage. Over the years it has served as everything from an office to a space for the children to hang out.
Jeff says the internal-access double garage has also proved handy as the kids have grown up. "We used to have the cars in here but they are just lumps of metal and can stay outside, so we've used the garage for a gym, a workshop and as a place for the kids," he says.
"We've put a projector in here and shown movies on the wall with 20 kids in here and bean bags spread around. Afterwards, you just sweep all the mess out the door to the rubbish."
Nicola says the central location was always part of the home's appeal and that has paid off over the years with its proximity to the city, schools, parks, beaches, restaurants and sports clubs.
With the children growing up, Nicola and Jeff are readying themselves for the next phase and have bought a bigger house that is closer to school and to the water. It has more car parking to cope with teenage drivers.

From the earliest days of the Rhode Island Shakespeare Theater (TRIST) in the 1970s, its founder and director Bob Colonna has been one of the state's keenest and cleverest interpreters of the Bard. Colonna zooms in on the naughty nuances, the multiple meanings, and the contemporary connections in Shakespeare's words. And that almost always makes TRIST productions both innovative and entertaining, as is the case with Twelfth Night, at Roots Cultural Center March 1-3 and 9-10.
One of the stage areas at Roots, with an L-shaped balcony above, a staircase to its side, and one door in the back wall, provides an adaptable set for this Twelfth Night. Colonna and crew use the space in creative ways, especially the banister on which to lean or climb and the aisle through the audience for entrances and exits, most notably one character coasting in on a small bicycle and another driving a motorized wheelchair.
The entire cast parades in to a chorus of "All You Need Is Love," complete with horn accompaniment, only to scatter in all directions, shouting "shipwreck," which catapults us into Shakespeare's plot. Viola survives the wreck, landing in the fictional seaport of Illyria (her twin brother Sebastian is initially believed to have drowned). She disguises herself as a young man and becomes a courtier to Duke Orsino, who fancies himself lovesick over Olivia and sends Viola to plead his case. Viola falls for Orsino and Olivia for Viola's masculine incarnation. That story.
Kaitlyn Ann Vollucci is captivating as Viola, her large brown eyes registering surprise, amusement, cunning, and infatuation. She has an easy naturalness onstage, which is matched by some of the actors around her, though not all.
As she preens and postures, Bonnie Griffin does Olivia's overblown melancholy and exaggerated self-centeredness quite well. Patrick Keeffe struggles to convey some of those same attitudes as Orsino. Linda Kamajian, however, is spot-on as Olivia's right-hand woman, warning Sir Toby Belch, Olivia's uncle, to curb his excesses, but later plotting with him and his cohorts to deceive Malvolio, Olivia's steward.
Frank Toti as Malvolio and Colonna as Sir Toby are perhaps the most seasoned of the cast. Toti holds himself stiffly, in a suit jacket with every button done up, and he almost literally has his nose in the air. His unsmiling visage is transformed upon reading a letter he believes to be from Olivia, in which she tells him how much she loves his yellow socks and seeing him "cross-gartered." His re-appearance — in a bright yellow sweatshirt to match the knee socks, his long shorts baggy enough to display his Superman underwear, his cap turned backward — is quite hilarious, and Toti makes the most of Malvolio's changed manner as well as his outfit.
Colonna has great fun with Sir Toby: the punning quips, the lewd allusions, the hand gestures and stances that enhance his lines. He even swings into a Southern evangelist voice, with a white Bible in his hands, when everyone treats the "new" Malvolio as if he were mad or Satan-possessed.

This is a "made up" term used on the popular Trinidadian, automobile website to determine who really knows about cars. Cars do not carry muffler bearings.
When last did you change your muffler bearings?
by drebel_3 February 17, 2010
A real howl for prank-calling kids of our 70's past: get a naive auto parts clerk on the phone (dumb teen, etc.) and ask for "muffler bearings". A bigger howl when they realize the gag, and get back on the phone and cuss you out.
Obviously dated, due to caller ID.
Related to asking for "Johnson Rods"

Contrary to popular belief, muffler bearings do exist, just ask your local dodge stealth or mitsubisi gt3000 owner. Although a popular prank to pull on the not so automotive savy muffler bearings are located inside the muffler, in order to operate a flap which opens and closes depending on the exhaust flow directing flow back into the turbo. Due to inconvienience (carbon/other buildup often jammed the bearings causing noise and poor performance) the bearings are only found on older models.

A fictional term that bullies use when they ask questions or give maintance advice to ricers.
There is no such thing as muffler bearings however most guys who know nothing about cars can easily be convinced that it is part of their maintance.
Ricer: Is there anything I need to know before I install my new exhaust system?
Bully: Make sure to grease those muffler bearings before the install (bully laughs under his breath)

Deus Ex Machina Surf-Cycle
Don't waste time with a dinky scooter, get a bike that will rule the streets and the surf.
This choice roadster is just what a multi-tasking beach-bum needs: a banging cruiser to bring him to the sand and a side-rack for that freshly-waxed surfboard to thrash gnarly waves. Recently unveiled at Deus ex Machina's new Canggu, Bali showroom, aptly dubbed Deus ex Machina Temple of Enthusiasm, this custom-made cruiser resulted from numerous requests for the Deus ex Machina folks from riders who love to hang ten. Surfing and motorcycles are such a part of Bali they're nearly weaved into the fabric of the culture, and Deus strengthens that bond with this surf-cycle customizable option that attaches firmly to the frame of the bike and takes less than a minute to mount and dismount. Next time you find yourself looking for a killer babe-slaying bike, avoid that dinky scooter shop and check out one of Deus ex Machina's rad rides.

Can anyone offer some advice please?
My internet is a shared connection in the block of apartments I live in. The router is in the ground floor apartment and is WPA protected. I have the username and password so I can connect but don't have the login details for the router (and they have been changed as I've tried 'admin')
The thing I would like to do is this:
Sometimes if I'm playing the PS3 on-line or downloading or whatever the connection is painfully slow. Having run an IP scanner I can see there's someone else in one of the apartments also on-line. Is there anyway, using some software, that I could temporarily knock them off?
I don't want to shut them off permanently, just maybe turn them off when I need the connection! Obviously I don't want anyone else to know it's me either!
Any tips, ideas or advice would be much appreciated.

You may have seen Sludgey, a/k/a the Last Barrel of Oil, distributing handbills around Portland on First Friday. Sludgey is the six-foot-tall mascot for an in-the-works web series called Vacationlanders, about survival, sustainable living, and life post-petroleum. Its creators are currently trying to drum up buzz and financial support in advance of their planned Earth Day (April 22) premiere; there will be 12 episodes in all.
The premise is this: In 2012, in response to leaked data about fast-diminishing global oil reserves, Congress passes the "Emergency Energy Conservation Act," cutting off six low-population US states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana) from the grid. All remaining infrastructure in those states is left in the hands of those who choose to stay behind — with "No power. No services. No Internet. No law."
Three years later, a documentary film crew travels into the Unorganized Territories of Maine to film instructive videos with the people now known as Vacationlanders — how-to survival clips. "But," according to the synopsis, "things don't go as planned in a land where everything is different."
Here, the Mainers behind Vacationlanders, Jeffrey Day and Marc and Gina Bartholomew, tell us more about the series.
WHEN AND HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS IDEA? We were having a lot of fun creating 48-Hour Film Projects together (French Door, The Driver's Seat). The three of us sat down one day in late October and tried to brainstorm about how we could do that kind of work — short-form, fast-paced, highly-imaginative — every weekend instead of just once or twice a year. We started playing around with different genres and found out we all had a soft spot for post-apocalypse type stories. Generally, the post-apocalyptic subject matter of television and movies is rife with zombies, plague, extreme climate change, or what have you. We felt we could refresh the genre by giving our characters a choice and a chance at some positive outcomes within a very plausible and realistic eventuality, i.e., peak oil. We began imagining "life at the end of oil" and how a population, having known nothing but oil's relative abundance, would survive with drastically depleted fuel sources in tomorrow's world.
WHAT'S BEEN THE MOST FUN SO FAR? THE MOST CHALLENGING? The reaction we have gotten from people when we give the premise of the story has been phenomenal, especially from people in Maine's film scene, which is pretty close-knit and highly supportive. The casting call was a blast, even though we only provided a brief sample of the script for the readings. A lot of people with limited or no screen experience auditioned at the casting call because the subject matter of Vacationlanders was personal and important to them. We hope to have roles for them, too.
Fundraising is the biggest challenge of any creative media project like this. It always comes down to a situation where you need money to make the project, but it would be so much easier to get funding if the project was fully realized and people could see a tangible show.

mole, my 17hmr upper is canceled. after A LOT of research the 17hmr is prone to OOB problems.....you may want to reconsider
Funny cause I was just thinking I started this about a year ago last night and had better get my butt into gear. I have a 17hmr ar15 upper, sgn-9, and suomi build "on going" as well.
mole, my 17hmr upper is canceled. after A LOT of research the 17hmr is prone to OOB problems.....you may want to reconsider
Hello moleman,
A simple delayed blowback can be an op rod and piston attached to the bolt pulling forward with some gas pressure from the barrel (behind the piston). The WW-II German VG-1 and the later H&K P-7 Squeezecocker pistol did this biased gas pressure thing.
The gas piston can also be a shoulder on the barrel and the cylinder surrounding the barrel blows forward pulling on an op rod or slide. This is much like the VG-1 carbine.
A set screw valve on a gas block or valve gas vent on a sleeve will allow variation of the delay pressure so you can tune it to your favorite station !!!
Combined with a fluted chamber this system will operate with most any size ammo. I don't believe that the .22 HRM would need a fluted chamber.
I finally got around to melting some aluminum in the propane forge. I had a few hours so I fabbed up a small crucible and fired up the burner. I used a set of 3' bolt cutters to break up the head from a briggs & stratton lawn mower into several pieces that would fit in the crucible. After a half hour the crucible was red and the aluminum was melted. I poured it into a large steel ring that was laying on a steel plate to make a round button about 3.5" in diameter x 1" thick. I plan on using the aluminum button to help test out a fly cutter I plan on using to repair the two broken gears on my sheldon lathe I'm restoring. I still need to make a mold and try casting some simple parts. Here's the button made from a b&s head next to a tecumseh head.
ex 7075 ---- aluminum chemical composition
if t6 is added it meas that is was heat treated as per t6 specification
u can then anodize the aluminum for increase surface wear resistance

First off I wanna say Semper Fi. I'm a Marine with 3 combat deployments (2 to Iraq and 1 to Afghanistan) and during my time over seas I have learned that AK rifles work. I am a big time AR guy and have that peice down pack, but me and my dad (SgtMaj Ret. '68-'98) have both been shot at enough by the AK to know it is dependable and are both looking to kick open the door into that world. I just wanna know what your opinion is about more modern day upgrades to the AK. I have been looking at a lot of thisngs from Midwest Industries and I'm a fan of a lot of their AR products. If there is anything you can speak on regarding upgrades for the AK I would love to hear your opinion. We are looking for rail systems, optic mountings, the works. I have picked up many of them and couldn't help but notice they can be better. Thanks for doing what you do and hope to hear back from you soon.

Maxon CINEBENCH is a real-world test suite that assesses the computer's performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on Maxon's award-winning animation software, Cinema 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. Maxon software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars,The Chronicles of Narnia, and many more. CINEBENCH Release 11.5 includes the ability to more accurately test the industry's latest hardware, including systems with up to 64 processor threads, and the testing environment better reflects the expectations of today's production demands. A more streamlined interface makes testing systems and reading results incredibly straightforward.
The CINEBENCH R11.5 test scenario comprises three tests: an OpenGL-based test that models a simple car chase (which I didn't use for this test), and single-core and multi-core versions of a CPU-bound computation using all of a system's processing power to render a photo-realistic 3D scene, "No Keyframes", the viral animation by AixSponza. This scene makes use of various algorithms to stress all available processor cores, and all rendering is performed by the CPU: the graphics card is not involved except as a display device. The multi-core version of the rendering benchmark uses as many cores as the processor has, including the "virtual cores" in processors that support Hyper-Threading. The resulting "CineMark" is a dimensionless number only useful for comparisons with results generated from the same version of CINEBENCH.
Since the CPU cores in the 4770K are the same as those in the 4430, I'd attribute the 20% reduction in the single-core score to both lower clock speed and lower cache levels. And the lack of Hyper-Threading really hurts the Core i5 CPU in the multi core render, with a score just over 44% below its big brother.

Legalization Learning Curve
null, Colorado -
(NBC News) A little over two months ago Colorado became the first state to legally sell marijauna for recreational use, the result of voters passing an amendment in 2012.
As other states and countries battle over marijuana laws, many eyes are focused on Colorado, where success or failure will likely help shape the future of the pot industry.
"This is one of the great social experiments of the 21st century," Governor John Hickenlooper admits. "Doing it right is going to have real importance."
It's an experiment that has opened a new frontier with rapid growth.
"Everyone here realizes that we're taking part in a moment of history and we want to get it right," says Taylor West of the National Cannabis Industry Association.
Tripp Keber's company, Dixie Elixirs & Edibles, located in Denver, is part of the fastest growing sector of the cannabis industry: Infused products.
"This is a massive market," he says.
The company is so confident about business it's expanding into this 50,000 square foot state of the art facility and hopes to become a model for the industry.
Discrete and with no smell, it's the edibles industry that now worries Gina Carbone with SMART Colorado, an organization that works to keep pot out of the hands of kids.
"You shouldn't be able to put marijauana in any kind of food and that's what we're seeing right now. I mean everything from salad dressing, to barbecue sauce, to pizza to ice cream," she says.
State regulation requires child-proof packaging and labeling that identifies marijuana content for adult use, and even Governor Hickenlooper is concerned about the potential impact on children, one of the reasons he urges other states to hold off on marijuana legalization for now.
"If I was in another state I'd wait a couple years to see if it is a good thing or a bad thing," he admits.
Other challenges have surfaced in the first two months.
Banks are still not processing pot business transactions over fear of federal prosecution, forcing dispensaries to operate as a mostly cash-based industry.
Colorado's Highway Patrol is working to educate drivers on the impacts of driving while high, and even re-training officers to better identify someone driving under the influence of cannabis.
The law's initial excitement lead to a shortage of marijuana in dispensaries across the state as well, but despite these new challenges, so far the roll-out has been seen as a success.
The Medical Marijuana Project, which supports legalization, says more than a dozen are likely to make pot legal for adult use similar to alcohol by 2017.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi Kevinmichael,
I live in Whitewater and will be graduating in May, so I will be tearing my tanks down soon. I have three planted tanks that are full of plants and fish and MTS... Are you interested in a certain plant or just browsing?
I am hoping to find homes for a large majority of my fish and plants before I leave in May.
My fish are:
10 Neon tetras
2 Pearl Gouramis
1 SAE Flying Fox
1 Red Tailed Black Shark (Jaws)
9 Otos
4 Green Emerald Cories
2 Juili Cories
4 Albino (no idea what species) Cories
3 Melanochromis Auratus Cichlids
4 Knight Gobies
200-400 (Seems like 40 billion) MTS
(Obiviouly not all in the same tank)
I'll post some pictures soon.
Checked out Fish Factory this week and I wasn't too impressed. What plants they had were ho hum and their livestock was much the same. Seemed like the guys working there were nice though and dealt with clientele pretty well. Went to Hoffers as well and that place is huge, they had tons of nice plants and a ton of fish. Almost overwhelmingly big but nice just the same. Hardware prices were a bit high but the livestock seemed reasonable. Nice store.
Best fish is the next stop. I've been there before but was mainly focused on saltwater so I didn't see much of the freshwater stock. The owner there is super cool there and regardless of thier freshwater stock I'll be back a ton for saltwater and friendly service.
|Fish Factory in Milwaukee has some days where they are cleaned out, but on average, they usually have about 25 plant species in stock, and on good days, the tanks are packed. I've also seen them sell plants from the non-sale tanks if a regular asks nicely. Then there's Aquatic Displays on 76th and Oklahoma, no plants for sale there, and half the tanks are drained, but there's live plants growing like mad in about 1 of 3 tanks there, which leads to deducing one of the staff is into planted tanks and might be willing to sell/trade. Their fish are also mostly healthy externally and cheap -$4 for a rasbora.
|I live in platteville and will be moving to milwaukee next fall for grad school so I wont be too far!

Cool man. I'm actually new to this and am just finishing getting everything ready for my first planted tank. Hoping to get it going this week or next and looking for some plants on the main forum.

Any cool LFS's near Whitewater.
Been trying to find some lfs's that have a nice selection of freshwater plants around Madison or Milwaukee. I've been to Living Art in Madison and it's a great lil store but the plant selection is pretty limited. Great for Salwater thought. I've also been to Aquatics Unlimited in Greenfield and Best Fish in Milwaukee.
If ya know of anymore please let me know. I'm in Fort Atkinson.

Department of History > Graduate Studies > Funding Opportunities
The Department of History offers a number of teaching and research assistantships as well as fellowships to assist graduate students. Students holding teaching assistantships will be assigned to lead weekly discussion sections in introductory history classes. Teaching assistants are required to take a teaching practicum to familiarize themselves with textbooks, audio-visual materials, and teaching techniques on the undergraduate level. Advanced students will also be offered opportunities to teach their own undergraduate courses.
Research assistantships are available through the department, the College of Arts & Sciences,faculty grants, and endowed funds. In addition, the department provides travel and research support through an internal fund.
Graduate fellowships are offered through the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and the College of Arts & Sciences.
Assistantships are renewable for up to five years for students demonstrating progress toward the degree and performing duties satisfactorily.
The 1818 fund provides reimbursement of expenses for graduate students to present papers or participate in panels at conferences, as well as reimbursement of expenses for research travel to collections. Graduate students who apply for travel money for conferences in Europe or for travel to collections in Europe will automatically be considered for grants from the Mathews Fund.

Pretty much the same thing everywhere. I've had parts on order from others now over THREE MONTHS. Blame Obama, not the poor vendors trying to keep up with historical demand.
Watch when you order something from this company. I ordered 3 parts almost a month ago from them and they still have not shipped them yet. I was mislead by this company and deceived by them. Another funny thing, I cannot find their incorporation with Secretary of State of North Carolina. They did not tell me that one of the items was not in stock. I could of bought these parts from somewhere like Gunbroker.com, Ebay or some other vendor. And not be run thru the mill on a simple mail order transaction.

Many you are not kidding hc.. Hell even my .45 mag pouches are on back order.
Some Chink free labor prisoner and 20 cents in nylon and Velcro and they can't get them in stock?
I do not even check the big boys out there anymore.. "Out of Stock."

If they didn't have these items in stock. Their website should of said not in stock backorder ok, I could of got these parts from gunboker or off ebay. What they did was mislead me and deceive and that is why I'm pissed off. Sure If I wanted to wait six months for some gun parts I would order a bolt from Bravo company and CHF barrel for an Ar 15. If they would even take an order.

It was bound to happen. After 10 years of war in Afghanistan, a massacre brings back memories of the horrors committed against civilians during the Vietnam war -- in particular, My Lai. I'm not surprised. The military's policy of multiple combat tours virtually assured it. How could it not have occurred?
When I was in Vietnam (1970), only one tour was required. People did re-up voluntarily, going back for more combat tours. They didn't have to, however. Today's warriors have no choice about multiple combat tours.
I've heard people say because we have an all-volunteer military, anyone who goes in should be ready for those multiple tours. The attitude being, "they asked for it." Well, yes and no.
Let's put this whole issue in perspective. One combat tour is more than enough to cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We learned that in Vietnam. Why was one tour sufficient back then?
Partly because there was a draft and lots of young men were available for cannon fodder. If the military had a multiple tour policy during the Vietnam war, it would have ended long before it did. I suspect military planners knew that. Men were leaving the country to avoid serving in the military and going to Vietnam.
The medical community "in country" during the Vietnam War generally thought their patients were just trying to avoid doing their job. That they were cowards. Most of the time, the shrinks sent their patients back to the boonies after a short "rest" period.
Imposing multiple tours back then would have been considered sheer madness. That was before anyone knew about PTSD.
We sure know about it today. The awareness about PTSD is at an all-time high. That's why it's so maddening to see our warmongers demand multiple tours from both active duty personnel and reservists. During Vietnam, reservists weren't sent into combat for even one tour.
The only excuse for repeated tours today is there are not enough bodies to go around. By all accounts, there are record number of soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD. The numbers are growing at an alarming rate. Programs have been implemented to deal with these cases, but for the most part, it's been business as usual.
That tells me our military planners know the odds of getting PTSD are extremely high, even from one tour. Still, they've chosen to sacrifice our volunteers on the altar of their global ambitions and ideologies.
So why should anyone be surprised when highly decorated Staff Sgt. Robert Bales snapped and allegedly went on a murderous rampage?
Imagine, if you will, what this veteran of three combat tours thought when he was suddenly (with no warning of any kind) sent to Afghanistan after living safely stateside with his family. The military was even training him to be a recruiter. A well-deserved stateside break.
Reportedly, days before he suffered his breakdown, he was standing next to a friend who got his leg blown off -- a critical wound. It must have been a shock. Bales had already suffered a "concussive head injury" and lost part of his foot during his deployments in Iraq, according to a recent Associated Press report.
The New York Times reported that a senior American official said Staff Sgt. Bales had been drinking alcohol the night of the massacre. Other reports say he has financial problems. What sparked this atrocity will be argued about for months and years to come.
Those innocent women, children, and old men were more victims of our military's insane policy of pushing people until they break than of Staff Sgt. Bale's alleged senseless attack.
It could have been anyone from the 3rd (Stryker) Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, stationed at Lewis-McChord in Washington state. Bales had been screened for PTSD after the head injury and had been cleared, but characterized the testing as "minimal," according to his lawyer, John Henry Browne.
Interestingly, the base's medical center is being investigated for allegedly downgrading post traumatic stress diagnoses to other mental illnesses that do not prevent deployment or qualify soldiers for disability payments. Lewis-McChord is reputedly the most troubled base in the U.S. military.
It's too late for those innocent people, and for Staff Sgt. Bales. We never should have gone to war in Afghanistan. Nothing has been accomplished other than garnering the absolute hatred of nearly every man, woman and child there. Unless, of course, you want to count a new generation of American soldiers suffering from PTSD.
As It Stands, you have to go to the source of a problem to solve it. Treating the symptoms is a waste of time -- and lives.

Reviews of this property
Greg is super kind and his place was really nice. Next time in Budapest I'll stay at his place again. It was really awesome.
This is a beautiful appartment. It is clean, spacious and has everything you need. Just around the corner the tram stops to the city centre, but you can easily walk to the centre which ia about a 10 to 15 min. walk. Greg is very hospital and friendly advising us all the places to go to and how to go there. This is a great extra service!! We recommend this appartment wholeheartedly!
The accommodation is comfortable, located in a quiet and close to the metro station and the Parliament. We found clean and it was nice stay here. Good quality / price ratio. There are negative consequences. Highly recommended! Greg has proved kind and punctual
L'alloggio è confortevole, situato in una zona silenziosa e vicino alla stazione metro e al Parlamento. Abbiamo riscontrato pulizia ed è stato gradevole alloggiarvi. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Non ci sono riscontri negativi. Consigliatissimo! Greg si è dimostrato gentile e puntuale
Me and my partner spent a wonderful weekend in Budapest to celebrate our 20 years together. From Greg's warm welcome to the hike up to the Buda hills, we loved everything! Apartment location in the inner courtyard was like an oasis of tranquility, where we also had easy access to everything the city has to offer. I would recommend Green Dream Island Apartment and the city of Budapest to everyone who like beautiful views, history and good food!
We have been 3 adults and a child of two years in this apartment for 6 days and have been great. The apartment is perfect, both for its beauty, for its performance and location (several trams and public buses to 20 meters, and currency exchange offices, supermarkets and bars close). Honestly, I recommend!
Hemos estado 3 adultos y un niño de 2 años en este apartamento durante 6 dias y han sido geniales. El apartamento es perfecto, tanto por su estética, por sus prestaciones y su ubicación (tiene varias líneas de tranvía y autobuses públicos a 20 metros; y oficinas de cambio de divisas, supermercados y bares muy cerca). Sinceramente, os lo recomiendo!
it would not could be better !! super great this season apart perhaps a little dark in the summer, having said ideal position to be able to visit the main "spots" of Budapest, close to public transport trams, metro, bus; Lovely people with valuable information to manage the daily including great restaurant address, kindness and availability of the host ++, brief thank you wimdu

Apartment very well located near the Margit bridge with 2 stations Tram (line 2, 4 and 6). Shops nearby. Should add 3 or 4 plates and some cutlery, if the equipment is perfect. Excellent value for money.
Appartement très bien situé près du pont Margit avec 2 stations de Tram (ligne 2, 4 et 6). Des commerces à proximité.
Il faudrait ajouter 3 ou 4 assiettes et quelques couverts, sinon l'équipement est parfait.

Iopened my hives today for an inspection. I have 4 and 3 have very little if any stores. I only took honey from 1 this year as it was a wet summer.
I have 1 hive that was a swarm I captured last year. They overwintered fine and I requeened them in April. I know I physically destroyed the old queen as I had witnesses. After installing the new queen I relocated them and all was fine. The new queen was laying like crazy but they kept building superscedure cells. I destroyed what I thought was all of them. Even with no flow on I kept noticing a lot of brood in this hive, it is 2 brood boxes deep. Today while inspecting I pulled a frame on the top box and found my store bought marked queen. She's big and healthy looking. I pulled the top box off to ck. the bottom and while checking for any honey stores I couldn't believe my eyes. There in the bottom box was a queen as big as the other, this one is not marked and looks healthy too. This hive has plenty of brood in both boxes but not much stored food. I am short on woodware right now but could probably come up with what I need to split if this is adviseable. My biggest problem with splitting or leaving them alone is they have very little honey. They had built up some but have obviously used it feeding.
Any advice?

Paranoia grips Taliban after Dadullah's killing
posted at 3:39 pm on May 27, 2007 by Allahpundit
The Economist reported on the phenomenon 10 days ago, noting, "There are suggestions he may have been betrayed. Certainly Western commanders are not going to do anything to allay the paranoia over internal security evident in Taliban ranks. American forces were watching Dadullah from the moment he crossed the Pakistani border into Helmand province on May 10th; they killed him within 24 hours." Two days after he was killed, a suicide bomber detonated in Peshawar, Pakistan, near the Afghan border; taped to what was left of his leg was a message that "U.S. spies" would end up the same way as people killed in the attack.
Now the Guardian weighs in. Paranoia does indeed strike deep:
Taliban insurgents fighting in Afghanistan and Pakistan have been hit by a wave of defections and betrayals that has resulted in a witch-hunt within the militant movement.
The news has boosted morale among commanders of the Nato operation in Afghanistan, which includes more than 6,000 British soldiers. The British contingent has struggled to contain the insurgency in the country's southern provinces over the past 18 months…
However, two of the Taliban's most senior commanders have now been killed after being betrayed by close associates. Up to a dozen middle-ranking commanders have died in airstrikes or other operations by Afghan, Nato or Pakistani forces based on precise details of their movements received from informers. Few details have been publicly released, but senior military sources speak of 'major hits' that they wish they could talk about openly…
'There is a feeling that there are spies everywhere,' said one tribal leader speaking by telephone from the violent and anarchic North Waziristan 'tribal agency' along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan. 'People are very worried and no one is trusting anyone any more.'…
According to Rahimullah Yusufzai, a senior Pakistani journalist and expert on the Taliban, 'suspicion is now falling even on trusted men and is creating tension in Taliban ranks'.
The obvious bad news: some of the people "cleansed" in this round of purges are bound to be innocent Afghans or Pakistanis.
If you've got a very, very strong stomach, Rusty Shackleford has still frames from that video of a 12-year-old boy meting out Taliban "justice" to a suspected spy in their midst. It's gruesome even by jihadi standards so please observe your strong content warning.

American pickers is a great show too
you remind me of myself.
Outside of the news and sports, the only TV i watch consists of mostly documentaries, science, history and the occasional America's Funniest Video, Redneck Weddings, and other silly video shows...
The sitcoms of today, to me, are unfunny and most are unwatchable for me.
[/quote]seriously??[/quote]seriously what ?
redneck weddings? Tom Arnold? on CMTV, that **** is hilarious.
[/quote]thought maybe it was a reality show or something.. i woulda watched that..
Not my taste ya hoser, aiy.
