I'm rather new at bee keeping, In Indiana, we have different winter weather pattens, so with that said, I want to protect my investment, and I want to protect them the best I can.
I've read about the tar paper method for insulating the hive in the winter, and the reasons for protecting the bees, I've looked at this product to cover my hive this winter, and want opinions of users here, to tell me if this is
going to work or not?
The product is a thin layer of Aluminum with an air pocket then another layer of Aluminum, it's light weigh, has an R-value of 4.1 that's equal to 4 inches of fiberglass insulation.
The cool thing I like about this product, is it's thin, and can be wrapped easily around the hive just like the Tar paper.
Will it be too hot for them in the winter months, with this type of insulation?
I only have one hive, so the cost is minimal for this application.

I've managed to get pixel shaders to work in directx9, however, i do not know how to add samplers to my pixel shaders!
I wan't to create a blur shader, but i don't know how to add the back buffer to the pixel shader so that i can compare the TEXCOORDS!
I know how to write the shader, but i don't know how to attach the sampler to it. Do you use a surface? or does it only work with textures?
I've heard that you need to add a texture to the pixel shader as the back buffer, but how do you add the data from the back
buffer to an empty texture? I'm so confused.
I'm not asking anyone to program for me, but could someone give me a general idea of how to create a basic postprocessing pixel shader in directx9? or show me some learning resources?
I'll appreciate any help i can get, thanks!

Roseann, Glen and I headed out with maps and umbrellas and after I got us turned around by not knowing which direction we were initially headed - we finally found the main shopping area and located the first stop on our list which was the Caf� Esplande. A place to dry off - warm up and indulge in a famous Cinnamon Roll (Korvapuustit) and coffee - and to celebrate that today we are paying with Euro - which seems like a bargain compared to all of the different currencies in Denmark, Sweden and Norway and the high costs associated with them as compared to the Dollar
By this time it was barely raining and we headed back outside. We entered an enclosed shopping area where Glen found a very nice Skagen pocket watch. He has been collecting them on this trip and has acquired quite a collection. This Danish brand of watch is a perfect memento from this trip in Scandinavia.
We popped into Marimekko and checked out the bright and cheerful Finish designs. That took away the gloom of the day and we were off to the outdoor market by the marina.
The wonderful looking forest fruits and the fresh chanterelle mushrooms made us wish that we were staying longer and could find a place to eat them. The grills were fired up with fresh potatoes, sausages, sardines and salmon with dill and the aroma was heavenly.
I was looking for a reindeer hide and finally found a nice one here - and at a much better price than the other countries that we had visited. We were originally thinking that it would be a nice cozy addition to Choco's house in Costa Rica - but on second thought - it might be a better idea to display it in a different fashion
I found a nice selection of cheese slicers with juniper handles and found the perfect one for our kitchen gadget collection!
Overlooking the market is the Finnish Orthodox Uspensky Cathedral. We headed up the hill to the Cathedral which houses a beautiful altar of icons. We were fortunate to be able to take a few photos of the inside of a church.
From this cathedral we had a nice view of the Lutheran Cathedral - which was our next stop. Glen is Lutheran and this was an important stop for him. I should have counted the steps leading up - but I do not think I could have counted while 'stepping'. It was very intimidating. The view to the square below was very nice from the top.
By this time we had to think about heading back to the ship. We popped into a sporting goods store that was opened by the popular lure maker Rapala and what an impressive store that was. Glen found a very cool Zippo pocket watch here and I found a very nice butane lighter for Jim and a little something for my dad from Rapala - since he must have a minimum 400 Rapala lures already - I had to find something that he might not have with the Rapala name on it.
We ducked back into the Caf� Esplande on our way back and got Jim a Cinnamon Roll - so he would at least have a little something to remember Finland by. He enjoyed his day on a quiet ship - he went to the gym, relaxed on the balcony and started reading a new book.

Love is in the Air for Manicure Monday!
We're feeling the love today so for our current Manicure Monday post we're all about vivid RED…and lots of it! We're highlighting our adoration for red long dresses. And if you love this romantic meets sexy look just as much as we do, you'll really go head over heels for our New 2013 Collection – just in time for the Homecoming Dresses season. We're highlighting our two favorites at the moment. The timelessly gorgeous one-shoulder dress that works for all hot social occasions (on the right) and the regal and elegant "Old Hollywood" v-neck dress with encrusted cap sleeves! Both equally stunning in their own special ways. It's hard for us to decide which wins our hearts just a bit more….
TELL US your choice!

Excerpt: "I had thought about doing a traditional "HM&M" column to wrap up the 2012 season, but in wanting to do something a little different, I instead decided to turn this into an "awards" piece that is loosely based on the HM&M format.
Take a look – and let me know what you think about the picks.
This was a tough one for me because I don't think we can honestly say anyone really stood out as the runaway winner. But if I have to pick one guy – and yes, I do have to – I'm going to give it to left tackle Will Beatty, who despite starting out with a back injury that slowed him down, pitched quite a few impressive games guarding quarterback Eli Manning's blind side this year.
Wow, another tough call, but not because there was no clear-cut winner. I narrowed this one down to two guys, both safeties. So in the end, I chose Antrel Rolle over Stevie Brown for a few reasons.One, Rolle took on another increased workload this year and save for maybe one game, he had a solid season. Two, when he spoke in the locker room, it just seemed that people responded and I really hope that next year head coach Tom Coughlin considers adding two more season-long captain spots (one on offense and one on defense) to the group and that Rolle gets one of those spots.
This one was also close, as I considered David Wilson for his amazing kickoff return abilities, and kicker Lawrence Tynes. In the end though, I was looking for consistency week in and week out, and I think long snapper Zak DeOssie, who on play after play was among the first down field to make a tackle, met that criteria.What DeOssie does is not an easy feat for a long snapper to do that, but it says a lot about how DeOssie, a Pro Bowler at his position, was able to cast aside blockers and get down field to minimize the opponent's return yardage.
David Wilson gets the nod by a mile given his contributions on special teams and how he finally started to come on late in the year. The future sure does look bright for this young man.
Every year when I look at the training camp roster, I start to shape my picks for whom I think will stay and who I think won't make the cut.I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong – I'm human, after all. So I'll admit that I had safety Stevie Brown as a guy that I didn't think would make the final cut. Not only was I wrong about him, he actually turned out to be a pretty good safety, leading the team with eight picks for 307 yards and all but assuring himself a starting job next season.
I'm going to go with the team concept here because I think the bigger picture is that this team wasn't consistent, especially in the second half of the season.Whether that was a result of the coaches not adjusting and instead hoping that things would straighten out; the returning players failing to handle their success as well as they could have; or the rookies being shell-shocked at a 16-game schedule after playing 12 games in college – and I think all three factored into the equation—this team had its chances to be a contender despite the injuries that threatened to tear them apart and they inexplicably failed to come up big when they needed to down the stretch."

Results page for Minto Summer Skate is up. I haven't checked the schedule to see exactly how current it is, but there's quite a bit there already.
Julianne Seguin apparently skated very well in the short program, with a 3F and 3LZ combo. Hopefully she follows it up with a strong long program. She seems prepared for her JGP assignment. Alaine Chartrand, on the other hand, seems to be struggling with her jumps at the moment, although she still has a month to get them in order for the JGP at Lake Placid.
Live streaming of the Wild Rose competition (Sobey's rink) is at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wild-r...itational-2012.
For reference, the schedule is here. The junior short programs have already taken place and are archived. Right now there are some juvenile competitions taking place, followed by some novice competions. The senior ladies short program starts at 9:15 local time (11:15 PM EST).
Unfortunately it looks like the senior free skates and junior womens' free skates tomorrow will be in an arena which will not be covered by the streaming. However, this is a great start at streaming from Alberta!

Results are up for Wildrose. Not much happening on the Junior Women side, but Kaetlyn Osmond improved her marks from Detroit to just under 150 with lots of marks to get.
Any results from Summer Sizzle or Prairie Skate?
Prairie Skate results were just posted today.
It doesn't look like there is anything yet for Summer Sizzle. Maybe tomorrow . . . they got the results up reasonably quickly last year.
I notice there is no results for Senior Ladies at Prairie Skate. Wasn't Kaleigh Hole scheduled to skate there?
Yes, she was entered. I wonder what happened. She was also entered in a competition in the States somewhere (I don't remember which one) and didn't skate there either. Hopefully she's not injured.
In other news, the results for Summer Sizzle are now posted.
The detailed results for the men's long program are interesting. Could Andrei Rogozine be planning to start his program off with a quad? It certainly looks like it. A double salchow (or even a triple salchow) as the first jump isn't usual, but a doubled salchow as the result of a quad salchow attempt seems likely to me.
In any case, he skated very well, with seven clean triples including two triple Axels, one in combination with a triple toe.
Also the Souvenir Georges-Ethier competition is being held in Quebec this weekend. The event is being live-streamed and archived, with the links to the programs at the two ice sheets here. The first utream link is for rink #1 (glace 1) and the second link is for rink#2. Duhamel/Radford and Takahashi/Tran skated their short programs in rink #1 (first link). You have to scroll down past the senior women and men short programs to get to the pairs short programs.
Results for the competition are here.
What is happening with Natasha Purich. She skated Senior about a month ago. At Georges-Ethier she skated Junior with not great results. Has the puberty monster set in? Was the move to Quebec to train not a good idea?
Have a look at how she skated in the pairs long program and make your own assessment of how she is skating. Personally I'd say she's doing well. She landed both the 3T and the 3S in the long program,as well as a good throw 3S with a slight touchdown of the hand. On the pair elements they clearly still have a lot of work to do (their side-by-sdie pair spins were atrocious, for example), but she seems to me to be skating as well as she ever did. I think this pairing may end up being a positive thing for her, once they've had more time together.
ETA: According to tracings.net, her birthdate is June 5,1995 and his birthdate is in May 1994. I think that means they have two seasons of junior eligiblity left, but perhaps someone with more knowledge of these things can confirm that. If that's correct, though, then they have lots of time left to gel as a pair and improve their pair elements.

On another topic, results for two other regional competitions have been posted:
The Isabelle Henderson competition in the western Ontario section ran from September 21-23 in Paris, Ontario. The results are here. http://www.skating-wos.on.ca/results...rson/index.htm. In senior men Shaquille Davis had probably the best short program of his career (57 points, including a triple axel) but his long program was not as good (93 points). Is he still eligible for junior competition? His birthday is in August 1992. Madelyn Dunley, a sub for some of the JGP competitions and last season's novice champion, was skating in the junior women's competition.
The Sask Skate/Sask Open competition ran from September 28-30. Results for that competition are here. (Scroll down past the Prairie Skate results). To me one interesting entry was that of Garrett Gosselin in senior men (4th in junior men at Canadians in 2011. I was wondering if he had retired, since he didn't skate at sectionals, Challenge or Canadians last season, but it looks like he's back.

Simon Rutz Believes Hesdy Gerges Will Be Released on Thursday
- Written by Dave Walsh
We've been sitting on some information about Hesdy Gerges recently, where we've spoken to a few people close to the situation and the general thought is that Hesdy Gerges will be released from prison on Thursday and should be able to compete on March 6th against Daniel Ghita. Everyone close to the situation has felt a need to not talk about it as to not possibly interfere with the court proceedings.
Well, Simon Rutz spoke with FightstarTV today and the cat is out of the bag. Simon Rutz believes that Gerges will be released after his hearing on Thursday and maintains his innocence. Rutz speaks about lots of things, including the relationship with K-1 and possible replacements for Gerges. Watch. [source]

Everything is appearing, just in small quantities. Be patient, and you will be fine. If you want instant gratification, then you will spend a lot more money. But for now, splurge on magazines if nothing else, and be patient on parts.
Complete uppers are slowly becoming available as well.
How much does it cost to build one vs buy one?
How much does it cost to build one vs buy one?
Not true, I just threw together a BCM upper on a palmetto state lower for under $1500. Just be patient and do not over pay for stupid shite. A DPMS is not worth $1800 ever, not in this climate or the end of the world. Daniel Defense just had a rifle selling for $1800, that is worth every penny. Wait on deals (basically retail now), they are there just more scarce. Some places are not price gouging (BCM, Palmetto State, Daniel Defense, Rainier Arms) so stick around those sites for what you need.
This may seem like an elementary question, but before I drop some cash: Are all AR-10 mags interchangeable like AR-15 mags?
I will build and AR-10 after the hysteria (if I still can). I can buy some mags right now, since they may be banned after tomorrow.
there is only one that you should consider buying: The Magpul PMAG.

Kangol - Visor
A Leader in Style and Fashion
Since 1938 Kangol has been a trendsetter in the headwear industry. Initially a beret manufacturer in England, this company quickly found itself in high demand. With every style that Kangol produces comes a story, helping to shape the look and feel of each hat.
One of the most popular and recognizable styles, the Kangol 504, has remained a classic example of Kangol's unique ability to take the ivy cap shape and give it a variety of interpretations. Another example of this is Kangol's army cap selection, which is quickly becoming a favorite of hip-hop stars like Eminem. These casual hats come in many fabrics and patterns, ensuring a design for every taste in style.
Visors are the perfect headwear for having fun in the sun! Whether you're out on the golf course, relaxing on the beach, bicycling, or enjoying a picnic, visors offer great protection for your eyes and face. Brands like Helen Kaminski, Pantropic, and Betmar offer great visors made with excellent spring and summer materials like cotton and woven straw. Visors are a great option because they allow you to get sun protection without having to wear a full hat in hot weather -and you still get to show off your hairstyle!
There are no products matching the selection.

This is all made possible by the new technology of Wireless Fidelity or WiFi, a form of wireless connection to the Internet.
a location which is WiFi-enabled is situated within a wireless Internet 'cloud'
WiFi is a high-speed wireless networking standard which enables transmission of high-bandwidth video and multimedia information. In order to make connections from electronic devices such as laptops, mobile phones and PDAs, users must enter a location which is WiFi-enabled. This means that they must be situated within a wireless Internet 'cloud', popularly known as a hot spot. An interconnected area of hot spots is sometimes referred to as a hot zone. Special websites enable users to locate free and pay-by-the-hour hot spots.
WiFi is already installed in many office environments and is now making a major impact on selected public venues such as pubs, cafés and even parks and beaches. WiFi technology has the potential to transform the way we work, defying the limitations and indeed health hazards of being confined to a particular desk in a stuffy office.
Those who regularly engage in the use of WiFi technology are often slightly humorously referred to as WiFiers. WiFiers can sit in a deckchair or on a park bench surfing the Web, accessing e-mail and participating in videoconference meetings, all without the need for a physical connection to a telephone line.
WiFi, short for Wireless Fidelity, is a play on the 1950s term Hi-Fi, which was used as an abbreviation of High Fidelity in the description of sound reproduction. WiFi was introduced as a catchy alternative to the technical label previously associated with the same technology: IEEE 802.11b, based on the name of a standards committee for local and metropolitan area networks. The term WiFi was coined in 1999 by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA), subsequently referring to itself as the WiFi Alliance, an organisation which oversees the performance of products which claim to exploit the technology. Products which pass the Alliance tests are given the registered trademark Wi-Fi certified.

Reviews of this property
The apartment is in a convenient location, clean, and great size for up to 4 people. I would recommend this to people who are attending the convention at Fira (GranVia or Fira Barcelona). It is in walking distance though not very near but walkable on a nice day.
The appartment is spacious and well equipped and indeed near the Montjuic Museums, the Plaza Espana/metro, and supermarkets. However, I cannot say that it is a quiet appartment.
The Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes is a very busy road and the hum of the traffic can be heard in the sittingroom and the master bedroom. The second, inside bedroom, is quiet. The upstairs neighbour was very noisy and active during the nigth. The other neighbours where quiet. I was glad I brought my earplugs. We had a nice time in Barcelona and our stay in the appartment was satisfactory. My mark a 7 or 3 stars.
La estancia en el apartamento ha sido muy agradable y, definitivamente, cuando volvamos querremos volver ahí.
Lo que más nos ha gustado es donde está localizado el apartamento ya que está en una avenida, a 5/10 minutos andando de Plaza España.
Fue todo perfecto, gracias por facilitarnos tanto. El edificio es antiguo, pero el apartamento está completamente renovado, la ubicación perfecta.
Vi hade tre härliga dagar i Barcelona. Lägenheten hade allt man behövde, inget som vi saknade. Matbutiker fanns det gott om i området och det var nära till både bussar och tunnelbana. Det var lätt att få tag på hyresvärden och de var mycket tillmötesgående. De ordnade med taxi så att vi kunde ta oss till flygplatsen tidigt på söndag morgon. Vi hade sådant flyt att FC Barcelona lyckades säkra ligatiteln medan vi var där, vilket var en trevlig upplevelse med härlig stämning.
Dani skulle jag kunna rekomendera som hyresvärd.
Pasamos unos días increíbles en Barcelona, la estancia en el departamento fue muy agradable, la única pega si es que se puede llamar así, es la del ascensor que es pequeño, para gente con carro de niños, hay q cerrarlo cada vez que subes o bajas y se hace algo incómodo, pero por todo lo demás increíble, muy lindo y acogedor, aparte la ubicación es muy buena para ir a todos lados, cerca de todo lo que puedes necesitar y cerca de lugares por conocer, Dani muy amable en todo momento, lo dicho recomendable 100%
Reviews for this host's other properties
Excellent location, amazing views of Sagrada Familia, metro just around the corner, many restaurants, cafes and shops in the area. The apartment is nice and bright, we really enjoyed watching Sagrada Familia at different times of day and night.
We were 6 friends who stayed at this place. The organisation and communication was great, we got all information we needed in advance and a member of the team welcomed us in the flat on the day of our arrival. The apartment is a 5 minute walk to Sagrada Familia and the metro station. It was clean and the kitchen provided everything we needed. It is modern furnished even though with a few drawbacks. E.g. I wouldn't sleep on the couch as the seat cover is about to unravel. You don't have a proper fresh air supply in at least two of the three sleeping rooms. You can open the windows but then you're looking straight into a narrow and sulky square. Therefore, the apartment provides air conditioning. We didn't mind as we only slept there for a few hours. Altogehter we had a great time and are satisfied with our stay. There'll be always something to beef about. ;-)
This apartment was comfortable and very well situated for the city centre. It could do with some new furniture, but this is a minor complaint. Dani and Inga were very helpful.

Tire Rotation
At Daniels Tire Service we know preventative maintenance is important to get the most out of your vehicle. Tire rotations are recommended every 3,000 - 6,000 miles, or with every oil change. Did you know that regular tire rotation helps eliminate premature tire wear and could save you hundreds of dollars on new tires? At Daniels Tire Service in Orange, CA, our trained mechanics can rotate your tires.
What tire rotation does: The weight of a vehicle is not distributed evenly to all four corners. If you left all four tires as they are on your vehicle, some tires would wear out faster than others. At Daniels Tire Service we know that Tire rotation is an important part of making your tires last longer. The process of rotating your tires is to move them from one side of the vehicle to the other, moving them from front to back or a combination of both, depending on your vehicle and what was done before.
Why tire rotation service is important: Uneven tire wear could bring about poor performance, unsatisfactory gas efficiency, reduce the life of the new tire and can easily cause safety problems.
Proper Tire Rotation in Orange, CA Prolongs New Tire Life
Several aspects could trigger uneven tire wear:
- Energetic driving routines, stop and go urban area traffic, road construction, etc. Uneven terrain and pot holes
- Under inflated tires
- Worn Shocks
- Unaligned wheels
- Worn components
- Not rotating your tires
What Daniels Tire Service does during tire rotation:
- Tires are rotated in alternating patterns
- Inspect general quality and protection of tires
- Check tire tread
- Check for correct inflation
- Tighten lug nuts
Daniels Tire Service offers quality tire rotations in Orange, CA

Two Minute Stories
Stroke of luck
Or maybe lucky strokes ruled the day at Ireland's Ballybunion Golf Course because even on fairways across the Atlantic some Marquetters connected. Greg Ryberg, Arts '68, a member of the Board of Trustees, and Teddy Stuebi, Bus Ad '09, realized they shared a blue and gold link. Stuebi and his dad, Robert, were two-thirds of the three-person golf team that won the member/guest event last spring, a competition open to overseas members in alternating years. Ryberg got to see the Steubis claim the championship. "Winning at Ballybunion places you in an extra-special category," says Ryberg, who is a member at the fabled golf course. "Teddy becomes a rockstar in my book."

History of the Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road in Victoria is world renowned for its stunning scenery, but how many people know its history? For example did you know that it's the world's largest war memorial ?
Recently Trevor Chappell was joined by military historian Ross Bastiaan who has sculpted a series of plaques detailing the history of the Great Ocean Road, which are on display at key points along the road.
Each plaque contains a detailed relief map of the Great Ocean Road : with details of the overall history. Another panel relates events and places in the immediate vicinity of the plaque. See our pictures of the plaques at Cumberland River and at Lorne.

Airbus' double-deck A380 and A400M military airlifter, as well as a single-aisle A320 operated by Air France, are ready for the red carpet with their featured performances in a movie focusing on the French Air Force's "Patrouille de France" aerobatic display team.
The film provides unique insight on the demonstration team, with a first-hand look at this unit's pilots, team members and history. In addition, it highlights the aerobatic team's distinctive blue-, red- and white-coloured Alpha Jets in operation over some of the most scenic areas in France – which includes formation flights with the A380, A400M and Air France A320, among other aircraft.
In addition to its role in the film, the A400M developed quite the partnership with the Patrouille de France recently, as Airbus' multi-role military airlifter also teamed with the French aerobatic unit for a presentation during the Paris Air Show in June.
Also during the 2013 Paris Air Show, the DVD version of "Patrouille de France" was officially released, including three hours of bonus coverage, such as: the making of the film, a complete aerobatic flight briefing, multi-screen flight views, and more.
Eric Magnan and François-Olivier Robin of Airborne Films produced and directed the movie, while French television personality Michel Drucker provides the film's French-language narration. Airbus was one of the aviation industry partners for the film.

(thinking I would have a year to figure what method to use etc.) well the one have has three honey supers on it! So. During the last inspection my step daughter and I saw that some of the frames were almost fully capped. Today we took two frames and did a crush and strain with what we have in our kitchen. We got two quarts and a pint of honey from two frames! It was a lot of fun doing this together, she has been nervous even in her suit around the bees. Yet she has helped make make frames and paint our two hives so I was glad she got to see and taste some honey today. Hoss"s BBQ Honey

Discussion in 'THE OTHER TALK' started by Clothespin n, Oct 4, 2006.
Looks like you kept the chrome or has it been "darkened"?
K-cars were based on the L-body chassis, and as much as I don't like most new cars, new challengers are sex with wheels
Haven't touched the chrome yet (except for putting a magnet on it to confirm the plastic that lies beneath). The grill is one piece that pops in, so I'll see what he says on Saturday about painting it out and go from there.
Stay tuned.....
Dr. T
Correct. The Horizon however was based on the French Simca.
They are a bit too autosexual for my taste, that's all. But make no mistake, I like them, too.
I could have swore that this was a K-Car?
http://www.allpar.com/history/chrysler- ... ysler.html
They're related to the VW Rabbit. -Adam
Yep the K cars were more like the Plymouth Reliant and the Dodge Aries. A friend of mine had a Reliant. It was one of the worst cars I ever drove. But it may have just been that one.
Probably just that one.
Yeah, I kinda figured that. The guy who owned it never changed oil, or did anything as far as maintenance unless he absolutely had to. As long as it would start he'd drive it. (He bought a different car about every 6 months.)
I don't feel sorry for the man, I feel sorry for the cars! Some people just shouldn't be allowed to sign a car title!
Drove this home last night for $842.00 Needs engine work, no power, smoking, probably head gasket blown. 1992 4x4, 22re, 5 speed, no power options but AC. The aluminum flatbed is made out of bleacher seats. I bought it to flip it, but I love Toyota trucks so much it's going to be hard to let it go.
Nice find youth, If I had more cash I'd love to get another one, I had an '87 Toyota king cab that absolutely refused to die. (300,000+ miles) If it hadn't been for the frame rusting in half I'd still be driving it. Personally I'd keep it and make a super bike hauler out of it.
I'd keep it also, I need a truck to beat up.
Toyotas are perfect for that. In case you haven't seen this yet:
Part 1
Part 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTPnIpjo ... ure=fvwrel
Part 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfZDtC9k ... re=related
Yes, I've been watching Top Gear for many many years, wish they hadn't done the Yota specials, not because I care that they came so close to destroying one, but because they told everyone who didn't know how bulletproof they are, therefore running up prices. Evidently the guy who I just bought this one from has never seen Jeremy Clarkson. :mrgreen:
Yeah but there's plenty of bulletproof cars out there. (Not for little ears)
That's from back before Dave got approved for his Adsense account, I was glad when he got it because he cleaned up the language in all his videos. Then they banned him, now that he's back without ad sharing, the bad language is back. :x
Here's my 71 Chevelle. I just listed it on eBay, you can see it here.
Nice to see them not hacked up, I'm sure this one is hard to give up.
It is. Sometimes you have I give up one thing to gain another...

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;In Australia, Sunday – 25 April - is ANZAC day. ANZAC day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC day is a national remembrance when Australians reflect on the many different meanings of war and the qualities of courage, mateship and sacrifice that were demonstrated at the Gallipoli landing.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
from For the Fallen, by Laurence Binyon
How we can help our children to connect to the meaning of ANZAC day (especially if like my children you don't know many people who serve in the army or have fought in a war)? Here are some thoughts …
- attend a dawn service or ANZAC day memorial service. Or if this is not possible visit a war memorial on another day.
- discuss how they use the values we honour on ANZAC day in their lives – for example, teaching and practising courage with your children.
- talk about how, what and why we remember things. The story in this education resource from the Dept of Veteran's Affairs, suitable for young children, might help open the discussion. Or I love the story My Grandad Marches on Anzac Day, by Catriona Hoy and Benjamin Johnson to open a discussion about rememberance and the meaning of Anzac Day.
- work with your children to research your family history. Did any members of your family fight in a war for Australia or any other country? The Australian War Memorial has a page to help you research the military service of family members.
- And for a little bit of crafty and cooking fun get this free download from Mooo (now TinyMe) and make some ANZAC poppies or ANZAC biscuits and discover the meaning of these ANZAC day symbols (I found this resource thanks to Colour Me There).
How do you help your children to understand the meaning of ANZAC day?

Polishing cultured marble
I was disappointed by how quickly my cultured marble countertop lost its shine, so one day I took out my auto polisher and went at it. What a difference.
Cultured tops are made of polyester resin with a clear topcoat (called the gel coat). This is the same material that's used with fiberglass and it buffs out beautifully. Removing the faucet makes it easier to buff the top.
First wet-sand with 1,000-grit paper (available at auto parts stores) to remove small, shallow scratches and surface stains. Don't try to remove deep scratches or deep stains. You'll risk sanding right through the gel coat. Rinse and dry the top.
Next, buff with Meguiar's Medium-Cut Cleaner or similar polishing compound (also available at auto parts stores). The buffing can be done by hand, but a small power buffer is much easier. Finally, protect the restored finish with a coat of cultured marble polish (available at home centers and bath specialty stores). Follow the label directions.

We need to ramp up the activity on this part of the forum.
How's everyone's bees doing? Post your bloom dates...etc etc.
i am doing well. you?
My hives made it through the winter. I am going to check them out this weekend.
I lost one hive during that long cold snap back in December.
I agree. There needs to be more activity.
I caught my first ever swarm Memorial Day weekend. I have them in their perm. home now. I started beekeeping with one hive two years ago, but it didn't survive the winter. Now I just have this swarm hive. I hope it survives. So far the queen looks great and the brood pattern looks good. After about two weeks, I have two frames about 70% full of brood so I have high hopes for this one. I hope we can all keep talking it up in this group. I just joined. Glad to find it!

And then picture crazy computer people ruffled together in an abandoned supermarket, thousands of kilometres away, in another city, trying to fix the first city. These two images put together are called #OSJUBA.
A practical guide to sustainable IT
JOHANNESBURG (Paul Mobbs for APC) – This practical guide by Paul Mobbs offers a detailed, "hands-on" introduction to thinking about sustainable computing holistically; from make buying technology, through to the software and peripherals you use; how you store and work with information, manage your security, save power, and maintain and dispose of your old hardware, etc.

A new tough-talking boss is making waves and attempting to brighten and bring more glamour to sports broadcasts according to a well-placed source.
South African Tex Teixeira, who started as head of production after the Rugby World Cup, indicated he was surprised by the laissez-faire atmosphere at the Mt Wellington studio, according to a Sky source.
The overall director of Sport at Sky TV is Richard Last - also a mover and shaker.
Some in the TV world believe he is being groomed as a replacement when John Fellet eventually steps down, and it is understood he is keen to make improvements.
Sky confirmed Teixeira has been looking at changes to rugby league coverage, but says he is still talking to individuals.
Sky would not comment until it had finalised the rights deal for this year's NRL competition which starts on March 7.
League followers are a key part of the subscription base for Sky TV and change has been tipped for a long time.
However veteran commentator Ken Laban has rejected an earlier report in this column that he is to take over as league commentator.
Sky says that whatever happens, Dale Husband and Stephen McIvor would be involved.
Laban will continue to cover rugby union, Sky confirmed.
Sky Sports has been in a muddle over league coverage going back to the days of Jason "Costo" Costigan, who was seen by some as too Aussie.
He was dumped in 2010.
His replacement, Stephen McIvor, is now seen as a frontman and not a commentator.
Sky Sport production teams have also been told to cut back on a tendency to work from home.
One critic said an "easygoing" approach illustrated Sky's dominance of sports rights and coverage and the shake-up coincided with vague proposals for new competing sports services.
TVNZ has become piggy in the middle in a convention centre deal where it seems it had no say on the future of its creative hub in Hobson St.
The initial story of the secret deal was covered in the Herald this time last year.
SkyCity issued artists' impressions on the basis that it had access to Hobson St land currently occupied by TVNZ sections such as Maori programming, advertising and the Good Morning programme.
But the whole thing was a surprise to TVNZ last year, and there have been no talks since.
TVNZ has indicated there is a parcel of land it would probably be prepared to sell to SkyCity at 93 Hobson St.
But a TVNZ source said the sale of the larger lots would create major problems relocating studios while the network was already short on space.
TVNZ says it would be happy to talk to SkyCity about an offer for the land.
But initial indications are that it would be extraordinarily wary about selling. And, in my opinion, responses from board chairman Wayne Walden yesterday suggest it is unhappy at being played for a chump.
SkyCity refuses to say if its current proposal for the convention centre includes the TVNZ land.
Was the Prime Minister poorly advised on the TVNZ land?
Given that TVNZ has raised concerns in the past, why has the Government ignored its position?
Despite huge publicity, the role of Crown land is wholly opaque.
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has asked what TVNZ board member Barrie Saunders knew of SkyCity's plans and whether he had advised the board - Saunders is a partner at the lobbying firm of Saunders Unsworth, which has SkyCity as a client.
There will be those who do not question the Government's explanation of the unorthodox oversight of public assets.
But even they must question how National could have dug itself into such a hole, when TVNZ had set up a warning sign 12 months ago.
Has the Government traded away the right to the TVNZ land without checking the cost of the deal to TVNZ and the Crown?
Regular listeners to Mike Hosking's Newstalk ZB will have been surprised two days ago to hear the Breakfast host waxing lyrical in advance of the Auditor-General's report about the Government deal with SkyCity.
He rebuked the "wowsers" who questioned the validity of the pokies deal and, following Key's lead, said there were no issues - though, of course, there turned out to be many.
As well as endorsing Lexus cars, Hosking recently used his emceeing role at Key's state of the nation address to endorse the National Government, saying, in effect, the country was going in the right direction as long as National stayed in. So no surprises there.
He likes private enterprise and John Key.
What was surprising for some of the people who called me was that Hosking's editorial did not mention any commercial relationship between Hosking and SkyCity, which was exposed in numerous news stories two years ago. Commercial arrangements amounted to up to $50,000 in a year.
Newstalk had said in the past that Hosking would let them know if there were any conflicts of interest.
I wondered if it had slipped his mind, as it did at TVNZ with the SkyCity deal?
But Newstalk ZB boss Dallas Gurney was unequivocal: "There is no conflict of interest nor commercial relationship. Mike has nothing to do with SkyCity."
Television New Zealand announced yesterday that Susan Wood would be fronting Q+A when it returns to TV One on Sunday, March 10.
Wood is a host on Newstalk ZB and had been a host of Close Up. She also operates a PR company, Susan Wood Communications.
Former part-time Close Up host Mike Hosking ran into trouble when it was revealed he had a commercial relationship with SkyCity and had not declared it.
Hosking continued to present Close Up but was not allowed to cover stories about SkyCity.
Asked for comment, TVNZ said. "We are aware of Susan Wood Communications, and we will assess any potential future conflict as it arises.
"If we felt there was a conflict of interest with one of her former clients, of course we would declare this to the viewers."
Q+A is 100 per cent funded by taxpayers through New Zealand On Air
I quite like the British actor Brian Blessed and his lead role in the new ASB advertising campaign. He is a genuinely amusing character.
It rankles a little, though, the way that banks like to roll out people from overseas to tell us how lucky we are to be living here.
Since swallowing up the flash but rustic image of National Bank, ANZ Bank has gone for a combined image focusing on Patrick Jane the character from the American TV series the Mentalist. Quite the opposite of local, the campaign is designed to run across the Asia Pacific region.
Then there was the BNZ "Money is good, money is bad" campaign featuring an American chap. New Zealanders seem to love to see people from overseas talking about New Zealand - and that certainly worked for ASB Bank's hugely successful Goldstein ads.
But foreign praise doesn't always work. Remember the TVNZ campaign featuring British actor Robert Hardy (from All Creatures Great and Small), who waxed lyrical about how New Zealand enjoyed the best TV content in the world. From memory, that went down like a cup of cold sick.

The crisis in Zimbabwe which was caused by the inept policies of President Robert Mugabe now confronts a new crisis. Many donor nations are hesitating at giving economic assistance to the devastated country since there is scant confidence any government would be able to administer the money in an honest manner given the corrupt behavior of Mugabe when previously he received aid. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is pleading with donor nations to ignore the prior incompetence and give his government a chance to address economic issues. Nelson Chamisa of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) argues, "this is a new administration. It's a clean pair of hands."
Unfortunately, it remains unclear as the role that will be played by Mugabe if economic assistance enters the nation. Will he repeat is previous corrupt behavior when his government was previously supplied aid by South Africa? Does one accept the reality of corruption on the part of the Mugabe government in order to get some aid to those who need it right now?

I took that to mean that round, I thought you meant the whole toureny
was thinking if you were up for it a WADS list would be nice after a tourney. I've got a write up ready for a top 20 lock
Hottest actor. Would be super gay but would make for some killer threads/convo, maybe even bring some chicks to this board which is rare.
"I would like to legalize prostitution. Hiring a sex worker in Olivia Land would be as easy, hygienic, and inexpensive as getting a pedicure. That way when away on business or just not in the mood, we could just hire a hooker for our loved one and keep them uninterested in cheating and keep them satisfied. These particular hookers would obviously have to be mute and possibly cross-eyed.
In Olivia Land, the streets are paved with dark chocolate, and all the people are free of body hair and menstrual cramps."
I want to help build this place called Olivia Land.
Or does everyone pretty much by now know Kate won by a landslide?
Yeah. She's starting to win me over too. I want to help build this place called Olivia Land.
We are like Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused right now and there is nothing wrong with that.
Not really sure what's going on here. All I know is that Monica Bellucci is the most beautiful actress of all time. Horn sounds. Game over.

Reviews of this property
Grazyna, her husband and her animals were really nice, the small house was very cozy and perfect for two people. Kitchen had everything we needed. It was amazing to spend a part of our vacation in such a quite neighbourhood, without any annoying noises and with a lot of pure nature.
What we did not like: there was a TV which did not work, a dvd playing device which didn't work either and the only place with wireless internet was outside. But we got along with those points and had a nice time anyway.
Nevertheless there is something which was really annoying: we could not lock the door because the key was missing (i think this was the explanation). The hosts and the guests were trustful, so we were not afraid of thiefs, but it is a strange feeling at night when you go to sleep and you know that the door is open.
We would like to come back, but only if the door can be locked.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We enjoyed our stay, from 1th till 8th of august, very much.
Grazyna and her husband were very kind. The cottage was oké, but we missed a decent chair to sit on. The kitchen was complete, but not everything looked clean.
The big garden is beautiful, with friendly dogs and peacocks.
Nice area to stay! Easy to go where ever you like, living with the locals and Nice area to eat.
Great host. Charming cabin in very nice surroundings.
Lovely apartment very close to metro station and Eiffel Tower, plenty restaurants and bars near by. Apartment was well presented and clean and beds were comfortable. Only slight downside was the size of the bathroom which was very small however still well presented and the shower was really good. Would recommend!
We had a wonderful stay in this apartment.
It is modern and comfortable, the area is lovely and very central.
Grayzna was a considerate, helpful and attentive host.
Great stay! Thanks very much :)
We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was a little small for such a long stay but comfortable. The shower is great and the bed is comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The outside area is beautiful and the dogs and cat are friendly. We will miss you, Tongo!
The wifi is only available right by the main house, not in the cottage. There is only the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom- no other living space inside.
Both Regis and Grazyna were lovely and helpful. They helped us with laundry since we were staying so long and even helped us get tickets to an equestrian event in nearby Caen. The location is convenient for touring Normandy if you have a car.

Did the so-called father of American vertebrate paleontology believe in fossils?
Keith Thomson
It is inappropriate to judge Jefferson, as Simpson did, by our own standards, and many a great scientist turns out to have been (in our estimation) wrong some of the time. Nonetheless, as is often the case with Jefferson, a puzzle remains. Did he deliberately avoid using the word "fossil" in reference to the mastodon and Megalonyx? If so, did he do it as a lawyer and for strategic, rhetorical reasons, or as a scientist, or as both? From our modern point of view, the dilemma Jefferson faced is easy to outline. There was no consensus on how petrifaction occurred, how long it took, and indeed, how sea shells came to be found high up in mountains, how mountains were formed or how old the Earth was. And there was no unanimity about whether extinction was a real phenomenon. In each of these questions, some contemporary philosophers were edging toward modern solutions, whereas others were exploring versions of a flood theory or hypothesizing about impacts with comets. Jefferson, aware of the trends, evidently found his ideas and information to be in conflict.
From a religious point of view, Jefferson did not want to accept extinction, but there was also enough anecdotal evidence to suggest that Megalonyx, at least, might still be alive in the west to support him in that conclusion. He was unsure to what extent his "bones" were petrified. It seems that his solution was to be extremely careful in his word usage. As a master of language and of precise use of rhetoric, Jefferson seems to have kept his options open by simply avoiding use of the word fossil and by sticking to terms whose meaning was precise and unequivocal. By referring to the fossils of mastodon and Megalonyx (which in any case, we now know were only 8,000 to 12,000 years old) simply as bones, tusks and teeth, he wrote with strict accuracy and preserved his philosophical position.
With his perceptive analysis of the mastodon and other elephants in Notes on the State of Virginia and his account of Megalonyx, Jefferson made significant contributions to scientific knowledge. He certainly encouraged the discovery and study of fossils by people such as Charles Willson Peale and physician Caspar Wistar (whose own analysis of Megalonyx, published alongside Jefferson's, was a masterpiece of forensic anatomy). Jefferson was misled by his hopes that the mastodon and Megalonyx were mighty ferocious carnivores that would symbolize American vigor (and contradict European claims of the inferiority of American wildlife), but he was in many ways the progenitor of our modern fascination with another set of monsters from the west—dinosaurs. In these respects, he can fairly be considered a founder of American vertebrate paleontology. But the irony remains that he helped found a discipline without having accepted two of its fundamental premises: fossils and extinction.

what weekend?
grrr. debbie downer here...
a shoot at the gym tomorrow morning (prob last me about 2 hours) followed by an engagement shoot in the afternoon. really hoping Sami comes with and brings Shelby (it's at the beach, in winter, i know... not my choice). Sunday blows. I have an event which is free advertising for me but sucks as it's going to take up all of my Sunday which is our only day off together. SOOO wish I didn't agree to do this...
Hope you all have a better weekend then mine!
I have to run to AC Moore tonight to get refills of ink for my calligraphy pen, I practiced so much I ran out of ink :-( Tomorrow I have my chiro appt then lunch w/my dad and shopping on the way home at BJs and maybe dress/shoe shopping for my boss's/friend's wedding next week. It's going to be pretty warm says the 10 day forecast right now, so I might try to forego a new dress and wear something I have that's spring-y. (aka save $!!) Sunday no plans except sadly losing that hour of sleep when the time change occurs. Will probably try to knock out the rest of the escort cards for my boss's/friend's wedding that I'm doing as a favor.
Tonight I will be going to Target after work and we will be stopping by the local fish fry for dinner.
Tomorrow, we talked about going with our IL church to do some Tornado relief in Southern IL, but haven't decided yet. If we go, we have to leave home by 6 am to meet with the group so we can all carpool down there. If we don't do that, it will be laundry and groccery shopping. I need to get an oil change some time too. We will just stay home in the evening; probably have homemade pizza for dinner and watch a movie or something.
Sunday will be church and anything that didn't get done Saturday. Then just relaxing.
Tonight, my first session with a personal trainer at the gym. I hope I can walk tomorrow!
Tomorrow, working on envelopes for a bride (ps so excited you are practicing calligraphy Lisa!), we have an appointment with our tax guy/financial planner, and the usual cleaning, errands and food shopping.
Sunday, DH is flying to Florida for a meeting and I will be going to my parents' because it's my dad's bday.
I took a mental health day off work yesterday, so this week hasn't felt so long!! I"m still glad it's Friday though!
Tonight: Treating myself to a manicure after the events at work today, then relaxing at home since DH is working.
Tomorrow: Weigh in, shopping with my mom, and going to a birthday dinner at my favorite restaurant for 2 friends 30th birthdays.
Sunday: No plans!!
Tomorrow, working on envelopes for a bride (ps so excited you are practicing calligraphy Lisa!), we have an appointment with our tax guy/financial planner, and the usual cleaning, errands and food shopping.
YES! I enjoyed it when I learned it years ago and just haven't had a reason to use it since my wedding. It is one of very few creative talents I have. I do have a calligraphy marker with me at work I used a little . . . shhhhh don't tell
dasmel30:Hopefully, having a baby! I'm starting to get cranky and really wish this kid would show up already!
I hope so too Mel! Good luck!
Yay, this week felt about a month long! Tomorrow I'm getting a massage in the early afternoon, and then DH and I are heading down to South Jersey to see my niece and nephew in their HS musical. Sunday I have no plans, but am hoping to plow through the thank you cards for my shower so that I can get them out on Monday.
Staying in for a change.
DH is running the corktown race on Sunday before the Detroit SPD parade so it'll be low key tomorrow night, and he has to work at 5:30 am tomorrow so we're staying in tonight as well.
Going out for fish tonight with my mom then we have a fundraiser lunch tomorrow.
I actually have some plans this weekend!
Tomorrow Milo and I are going to a nearby mall to meet up with some local mommies from my Bump due date board (one of them is my labor buddy). We also might hook up with one of my cousins later and hopefully do some baby proofing at our apartment (sorely needed as Milo is getting into EVERYTHING now that he can crawl).
On Sunday, DH and I have plans to see a concert -- a night out on the town, OMG! The concert is in New Haven so we'll drive up and drop Milo off at his Grampy and Grammy's which is only about 20 minutes from the venue. I'd like to come home to my own bed but I do have Monday off so either way we'll have a leisurely day on Monday too.
And on Monday, DH and I will be working on getting our mortgage application paperwork together... still waiting to hear from the bank re: the short sale, but excited to have decided to continue on with the buying process!
Have a great weekend and come on Baby E!

Matt Fox-Wilson of Ambient Design wrote software for desktop computers before making the move into the world of mobile apps. Unlike other developers, who bang out a succession of apps in the hope there will be a hit among them, Fox-Wilson and his fellow company director, Andy Bearsley, have stuck with what they've always done.
"Our core principle is taking high-end graphics and making it available in a consumer form that anyone can use," says Fox-Wilson, who works from his home near Auckland's Bethells Beach. Ambient Design's main product - and sole iTunes App Store offering - is painting simulation program ArtRage.
"The thing that differentiates ArtRage is that as well as tracking colour on the canvas, we track the amount of paint - its wetness and how reflective it is - so that as you make a brush stroke, you'll see the paint thin out and the texture of the canvas come through. You can then paint another stroke over that and see the paint blend."
Apple's touch-sensitive iPad tablet is proving a natural medium for the software, Fox-Wilson says, since users can paint directly on the screen - not literally, but with a finger or stylus.
Fox-Wilson and Bearsley's graphics software credentials run long and deep. In the 1990s they wrote a 3D painting program for the company that became Right Hemisphere, bought last year by German business software outfit SAP. And they worked for the US developer of image manipulation package Kai's Power Tools.
Ambient Design's approach is to write software that will run on any platform - whether Microsoft Windows, Apple's Mac OS or mobile devices - and it will continue to do so. But user preferences are changing, Fox-Wilson says.
"What I'm seeing is a shift to people using mobiles rather than desktops, which surprises me because desktops are more powerful. In the case of ArtRage, the inherent appeal of being able to pick something up, hold it in your hand, walk around with it and paint without having to sit down at a desk is pushing people towards that."
In the comparatively short time ArtRage has been available through the iTunes store - the iPad version was released in October 2010 - it has come to represent "a few 10s of per cent" of Ambient Design's income.
That hasn't come at the expense of ArtRage's desktop sales, Fox-Wilson says, which are holding up, but has gone straight on to the bottom line.

November total milk production was up 2.2 percent over 2010
The dairy industry can be unpredictable at times, but the milk production trend from the major states is one of the most predictable, even at the month level. With genetic progress and new management techniques to increase production, gains are expected. Review this three-year chart of monthly production. Spot on, I'd say!
November's USDA milk production report was released yesterday.
November 2011 milk production in the 23 states was 14.7 billion pounds, 2.2 percent above last November. The number of milk cows was the same as last month, but up over 100,000 cows over last November. And, true to tradition, November was down from last month, but on par with September. Expect gains for December production, but we are also adding an extra day in December.
Other than the obvious national trends, we break down the states by their production levels.
States that showed an increase when comparing this November's milk production with a year ago:
- Arizona up 6.0 percent
- California up 2.4 percent
- Colorado up 4.7 percent
- Florida up 6.6 percent
- Idaho up 1.7 percent
- Illinois up 2.0 percent
- Indiana up 2.8 percent
- Iowa up 1.7 percent
- Kansas up 2.9 percent
- Michigan up 3.9 percent
- New Mexico up 6.3 percent
- Oregon up 1.0 percent
- Texas up 8.4 percent
- Utah up 4.8 percent
- Vermont up 1.0 percent
- Washington up 4.4 percent
- Wisconsin up 1.6 percent.
Vermont is unchanged.
States that declined in milk production from last November:
- Minnesota -0.1 percent
- Missouri -0.9 percent
- New York -1.3 percent
- Ohio -0.2 percent
- Pennsylvania -2.0 percent
- Virginia -0.7 percent
Each month USDA releases monthly milk production reports. We report the data and provide the information on our website in our market section on the left side of our home page. Other reports include daily cheese, weekly cheese, weekly butter, mailbox prices, Class I mover, Class III, and Class IV. Visit www.hoards.com/dairy-markets for a quick link to them all. They are summarized in a chart with corresponding explanation.
