Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
neither one of them are/were top 5 at anything statistically during their playing time.
Simms was not the cream of the crop during his generation.
neither is Eli.
they are/were both great ny giants and i wouldn't trade either one for anyone else...
not Simms for Marino nor Eli for Brady , because i like home-grown-started-with-us original Giants......
but if you take away the rings ; both their stats are pedestrian at best.
Phil is not in the hall , cuz he doesn't have the stats.
Eli will need another ring to make it , cuz he doesn't have the stats either.
due to the fact that I am from the Woodstock generation ...
my opinions may be chemically enhanced and influenced by severe episodes of memory loss
As much as I loved Phil, he was largely a game manager imo - mainly because that's how Parcells played him. He certainly had the ability to do more. IMO, Eli and Phil rank roughly around the same position relative to their peers. Phil was solid and a bulldog. Eli is "clutch" under 2 minutes. Eli's career is still being written. But as of now, both were/are good, but nothing to scream about.

Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
For instance, 20 years from now a young fan looks through the Giant's record book and sees our longest TD pass in history - Eli's 99 yarder to Cruz against the Jets last year. No one would know it was only a 10 yard throw.
Eli's stats are more than pedestrian.....IMO especially since he is no where near being done yet.
I love Simms and as far as I am concerned if Nameth is in then Simms should be. I get all the Nameth love but the guy had more picks then TDs , had a crappy record, and his comp % was great at all. He won a SB and was an icon. They only reasons he is in.....

Just a little mid-October laugh for TDHelmetHeads as a break from long nights trying to finish costumes for this year's "Halloween is on a Saturday and will be awesome all day long thank you very much."
I saw this album (remember those?) in Goodwill a few weeks ago, and have been kicking myself ever since for not getting it.
The resemblance is uncanny, especially when you add in Merle's sideburns, snowy wilderness background, and flannel. Merle was truly ahead of his time, so to speak. Look at that cocky bad boy mug, you know he's thinkin' "What are you lookin' at, Bub?"
Merle Haggard IS Wolverine...
or is it

Best of luck to everyone busting their hump to get their costumes done this week!

|GE Monogram Dishwasher malfunction

|1st Post
I have a GE Monogram Dishwasher (existing in the house when I bought it but approximately 5 yrs old) model number ZBD5700D01BB.
It seems to have malfunctioned during a normal wash cycle and now it seems to be stuck in "Heated Dry." I cannot use the clear button, or any other button, to change, pause or cancel the cycle. I tried holding buttons down for 2+ seconds (in case child proof mode was on somehow) also. I have tried to pause the Heated Dry by holding that button down as well.
I unplugged the dishwasher and left it unplugged overnight, but upon plugging it back in it goes into Heated Dry.
When it's on (and in Heated Dry) there is a whirring noise but no water entering or no other actions occuring inside the dishwasher. I have left it on for 30 minutes to see if it would cancel it's action or complete it's cycle or something but it did not. It also did not warm up inside the dishwasher (as I would expect "Heated" Dry to do heh).
Any tips or am I stuck with a $60 + parts/labor service visit?
Thanks much!

|See if you can access the tech sheet, should be on the right side of the underside of the unit after you remove the toe panel, or perhaps in the console. Almost sounds like a stuck key pad but the tech sheet might shed more information on this malfunction.

|Hi there,
I didn't have much luck finding a tech sheet As it was I kind of needed a working dishwasher (visiting folks abound) so I sucked it up and paid for GE service.
The issue was a full overflow trap which pushes up a toilet-style float and trips a small switch. This effectively freezes the dishwasher in "drain" cycle and for whatever reason puts the panel on Heated Dry. Caused by too much soap or accidental or accumulated inclusion of regular or hand soap (from dishes w/ soap in them in the sink).
Taking off the toe kick and removing a couple panels under the dishwasher lets you barely see the tiny tray that was the culprit, and you can sneak paper towels into one edge of it to dry it out and return it to service.

|No problem. Hopefully someone else can save themselves the repair call by doing this themselves. Requires removing maybe 15 screws, 2 panels and one small electrical housing but was very straightforward, and at least I can do this for myself in the future.

|I just want to thank you very much for you information about your GE Monogram dishwasher. I had the exact same problem. I thought that it was the electronic key pad. I check out the price for a new key pad and was shocked to see that the part was over $300.00 plus the cost for the service tech. I thought for that price I guess I will just buy a new dishwasher instead although I really didn't want to spend the money for a new one.
I am so glad that I found the information you posted on this form.
Thanks again

Hi folks,
I have been trying my hand at grafting and raising some queens. This was my second batch. I tried finding the smallest larvae that were only slightly larger than the unhatched egg. I grafted on Monday. Say this is day 4. By friday (Day 8 ) the cells had been built out and capped. I was concerned that the first queen out would kill the others so I checked on Monday again (day 11) and noticed the end of one cell had been opened.
I am not sure the queen that had been inside had actually hatched but I was worried I would loose the lot (16 out of 32 had been capped) so I went ahead and put the 12 best into 6 mating nucs (2 cells in each). This was the most bees I could spare to make mating nucs.
My question is was this too early to move them to mating nucs? They say to move them in on day 14. What is the disadvantage of moving them this early? I opened up one cell and the baby queen was still small and white.

Just wanted to say that this was interesting and the video is awesome.
New Bigfoot Evidence Screened as Expert Claims Proof of Existence
Bigfoot is real, and now at least one scientist claims there is proof.
A group of Sasquatch researchers who have been collecting over 100 pieces of evidence over the past five years screened "never before seen HD video" of the alleged creature at a news conference in Dallas on Tuesday.
The footage, which came from a similar effort dubbed The Erickson Project, led by Adrian Erickson, showed what the group said was a sasquatch moving through wooded areas in Kentucky.
Dr. Melba Ketchum, who has led the group of researchers called the Sasquatch Genome Project, has been working on a $500,000 analysis of DNA samples from an unknown hominin species. Ketchum calls the project "a serious study" that concludes the legendary Sasquatch exists in North America and is a human relative that arose approximately 13,000 years ago.
"They're a type of people, they're a human-hybrid, we believe. And all of the DNA evidence points to that. And they can elude us, so if you get [footage] at all, it can be fleeting," Ketchum told ABC affiliate WFAA.
Ketchum, who was initially a skeptic, says she implemented strict protocols as DNA was extracted from the collected samples.
"We soon discovered that certain hair samples - which we would later identify as purported Sasquatch samples - had unique morphology distinguishing them from typical human and animal samples," Ketchum said in February of the research.
"Those hair samples that could not be identified as known animal or human were subsequently screened using DNA testing, beginning with sequencing of mitochondrial DNA followed by sequencing nuclear DNA to determine where these individuals fit in the 'tree of life,'" she said.
In total, 111 specimens of purported Sasquatch hair, blood, skin, and other tissue types were analyzed for the Sasquatch Genome Project's study. The samples were submitted from 34 different hominin research sites in 14 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.
At Tuesday's press conference, Dennis Pfoul, the group's project manager, showed footage of what he believes belongs to a Sasquatch in the snow in Colorado.
"We've all had experiences that have changed our lives, I mean, literally shook the foundation of what we believe in," Pfoul said at the news conference.
Funding for the Sasquatch Genome Project comes from Erikson and entrepreneur Wally Hersom, according to Ketchum. The Erikson Project has in the past teased footage of supposed Sasquatch sightings, notable in a November 2012 trailer for "Sasquatch: The Quest."
Todd R. Disotell, a professor at the Department of Anthropology at New York University, told ABCNews.com that Ketchum's research is nonsense.
"It's just a joke," he said. "She is a laughing stock of people that are of a community that are already kind of wacko."
"This was not reported in any scientific way whatsoever. It's complete junk science, and then she misinterprets it. She hasn't published in peer-reviewed papers on this stuff. I don't know how this got put together," he said.
Disotell says that he has disproven samples from being what they're claimed to be many times, including debunking a yeti, a chupacabra, and a sasquatch eight times, including once on ScyFy's "Joe Rogan Questions Everything."
"You can't prove something doesn't exist," he said. "You can prove that every sample you're brought isn't what they're claiming, But you can't disprove this. It will go on forever. We'll always have it."Also Read

With more and more teams running the ball to the left, knowing that many teams put a pass rush specialist there who's weak against the run (can you say Osi?), it seems to me that JPP is the prototype for Right DE now. They've got to become three down players who are good against the run. The LB on that side needs to be a disciplined guy with good speed who's capable to playing against Shanahan's option system. The right side of the defense can't be a pass rush only zone any more, especially with the RGIII's, Russells' and Kapernicks that are playing QB now.
BTW- there goes Osi's value in free agency too.

Lincoln Elementary School is in Mount Vernon, Wash., a small city in a rural county. Many of the roads surrounding the school are suitable for walking, but until the introduction of a Healthy School pilot program in 2006, not many students were encouraged to walk to school.
During the 2005 to 2006 school year, the Healthy School pilot project, a branch of Mount Vernon Healthy Communities Project (MVHCP), was introduced at Lincoln Elementary School to encourage physical activity outside of physical education class. To encourage the students, parents voted that the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program begin in spring 2006 with a five-day Walking School Bus event. Parents and community volunteers met children and other parents at three different hubs located approximately one-half mile away from Lincoln Elementary. These hub locations allowed the children who lived far from school to participate in the events. From the various starting points, the Walking School Bus moved along its designated routes and picked up children as it continued to school. The high school band, cheerleading squad and school mascot met the students upon their arrival at school. The success of the first five walking school bus events encouraged Lincoln Elementary to expand its SRTS activities in fall 2006 to include Walking Wednesdays. The school created t-shirts as an incentive for children to walk regularly. Every time a student walked to school or walked around the school track, he or she received a "small feet" certificate. After receiving five small feet, the student won a "Walking to School" t-shirt. Continuous positive results during the fall 2006 semester resulted in the walking school bus to expand to Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday of each week during spring and fall 2007.
During physical education class, Lincoln Elementary's first through sixth graders received pedestrian and bicycle safety lessons from a SRTS coordinator hired by the Mount Vernon School District (MVSD). The children then practiced their skills during a walking field trip near the school's campus.
In 2006, MVSD received $190,000 in federal SRTS funds through Washington's Department of Transportation. These funds were used to install missing sidewalks and solar-powered school zone signs, as well as to create a rotating law enforcement speed trailer in two school zones. The speed detectors have had the greatest impact in increasing the children's safety, and law enforcement officers have reported an increase in the number of motor vehicles traveling at school zone speeds. As a result of this success, city officials have decided to install the speed detectors at all of the elementary schools by the end of 2008.
In spring 2007, Jefferson Elementary School, also in MVSD, introduced its students to the walking school bus.
Approximately one third of Lincoln Elementary students walk to school, and there are walking school buses three days a week. Survey data reveal that there is a positive relationship between the number of days of walking school buses and the levels of physical activity among students at Lincoln Elementary. Jefferson Elementary will have Walking Wednesdays in the spring, and Little Mountain Elementary School coordinators will conduct weekly pedestrian demonstrations from April through June.
To recruit new student pedestrians and volunteers, the MVHCP coordinators are using student residence plot maps and planning to create a walking school bus promotion point at the student drop-off area.
In spring 2008, MVHCP will begin its awareness and enforcement campaign, which will promote yielding to pedestrians through different media, such as local cable television and yard signs. In February 2008, there was a SRTS Planning and Partnership workshop, in which 65 people from northwest Washington attended and discussed various topics, including the funding and application process. The SRTS advisory committee is working on its next SRTS application, which is to be submitted in May 2008. Also, there will be an analysis of the county's Nutrition and Physical Activity Policies to measure the level of SRTS activities, among other factors. The MCHCP coordinators aim to finish the analysis by August 2008 and will use the results to decide where to best concentrate its efforts.

the ADEA/Dugoni Dental Pipeline National Learning Institute (ADEA/Dugoni NLI)
and the names of the 10 dental schools and community partners selected to
participate in the program. Supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
(RWJF), the ADEA/Dugoni NLI program is dedicated to increasing the recruitment
of underrepresented minority students at dental schools and community-based
dental education programs. Ultimately, the effort aims to create a diverse
workforce of dentists who understand the oral health care needs of patients
from underserved populations. "The goal of the ADEA/Dugoni National Learning Institute is
to create an environment that embraces diversity so that future dentists can
enhance their cultural competencies," says Richard W. Valachovic, D.M.D.,
M.P.H., ADEA President and CEO. "The program works to forge better
partnerships between dental schools and their respective communities." Through the ADEA/Dugoni NLI, 10 dental schools and community
partners have been selected to implement a yearlong minority student
recruitment campaign or engage in community-based dental education. The dental
schools and community partners selected to participate in the ADEA/Dugoni NLI
participating ADEA/Dugoni NLI dental school will receive $10,000 and a
three-day training course about dental pipeline best practices, advocacy and
leadership. Additional support and resources include peer mentor match-ups,
access to various online courses, as well as fundraising and development
tutorials. Paul Glassman, D.D.S., M.B.A., Project Director of the RWJF grant
supporting this initiative and Director of the Pacific Center for Special Care
at Dugoni adds, "This is a great opportunity to extend the lessons of a decade
of dental pipeline activities and foster new partnerships dedicated to
improving oral health for underserved people." The dental pipeline effort is based on the concept that dental
institutions can address the access to dental care issue by recruiting and
admitting more underrepresented minority students, increasing cultural
competency of all students, and educating dental students through community
rotations in health centers and other safety-net dental settings. Such
principles served as the basis of a decade-long nationwide effort among dental
schools and community partners that has positively impacted dental education
and access to care.

Jobs Report Better Than Expected
Unemployment was down a bit for November, 7.7 percent according to the latest survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
146,000 new jobs were created.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that because of the way they count employment, hurricane sandy had little effect on these numbers.
"It looks like the job market is holding firm, which is encouraging," said Moody's economist Mark Zandi in response to the report.
Economists think it may be the push Washington needs to cut a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff.
"The more I see momentum in the economy, the more I see improvement in the job market, the more I think what a terrible idea it is to go over the fiscal cliff," says Jared Bernstein of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Staff working for President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner have resumed negotiations.
Today we may hear if they're making any progress.

Isis® from Big Ass Fans is the bigger, better solution. It is the world's only fan engineered to dramatically improve circulation.
By RON RAJECKI, Senior Editor
The city of Chandler, Ariz., may be famous for its annual ostrich festival, but when it came to its new city hall, the city did not want an HVAC engineering firm that was going to bury its head in the sand. Thanks to heads-up work by the team at Phoenix-based SmithGroupJJR, led by Project Engineer Jonathan Silhol, PE, LEED AP BD+C, Chandler's new city hall showcases some of the HVAC industry's latest technologies and stands as an example of outstanding HVAC design work, earning HPAC Engineering's inaugural Design Award.
The motto of Portland, Ore.-based Glumac is "Thinking. Inside the Building," and the design team at the company did some of its best thinking in creating the HVAC, plumbing, and lighting systems for the Mirabella retirement community in Portland, Ore., achieving runner-up status in HPAC Engineering's inaugural Design Awards competition.

Introducing RC forum
It's clear that there is a need to have some posts and discussions that specifically deal with up-to-the-minute articles and issues that we don't necessarily want to cover in our usual detail. This might be related to a recent op-ed which just repeats the same talking-points as usual, or pointers to good discussions on other sites. To that end, we are introducing a separate category of post, called "RC forum", where we will post these more minor items. Hopefully, this will help make interesting comment threads, which now sometimes occur under completely unrelated posts, easier to find and reference. The big pieces will still appear on the front page and in the RSS and Google feeds but the RC forum pieces will not. Right now, a notification email is sent out for every post, but we could restrict this to main page items if needed. There is now a link on the top bar to the RC Forum page and recent comments on Forum pieces will appear on the sidebar. Please let us know if you think this is a good idea or if you have ideas to improve it.

The Police Department recently proposed an ordinance (Ordinance 2632) to the Council that, if enacted, would make it unlawful to host gatherings where 20 or more persons are in attendance, alcohol is served or consumed, and two or more specified law violations occur.
The intent of the ordinance is to help provide a tool to police to help manage gatherings that have gone beyond the bounds of control. The Police Department describes the parties, typically attended by underage youth, as difficult to manage as complaints come in from the surrounding neighborhoods. Further, the Department informed the Council that these types of parties are uncommon when adults are in attendance or when adults are providing supervision at parties where underage youth are present. Lake Oswego Police Chief Johnson told the Council this tool provides police with the ability to "close" a party falling within the parameters of the ordinance when the situation is out of control. Chief Johnson believes the ordinance, which is based on ordinances that are in place in many other cities, provides a measured response, while protecting the safety of partygoers and the community.
The ordinance that follows has been updated subsequent to the January 7, 2014, City Council Hearing at the request of the City Council. First, the Council felt the "threshold" number of persons in attendance should be raised from 5, to 20. The second change - related to language originally proposed in Section 3.23.050 - simply makes it clear for the reader that a person's property is not at stake should violations occur; however, fines and penalties may occur.
The Council directed staff to work with the Lake Oswego School Board to solicit their input and that of local residents to ensure constituent groups had a full understanding of the proposed ordinance and an opportunity for input before the City Council takes action. Chief Johnson presented to the School Board on January 14, 2014. The Board is in the process of gathering input and will reconsider the issue again at the end of January. The Lake Oswego City Council is planning to reconsider the ordinance at a later date.
If you have input you feel would be helpful, please contact Chief Johnson at 503 635-0246. Comments can also be submitted to Catherine Schneider, City Recorder.

Index - Malin+goetzThe morning that I met Andrew Goetz and Matthew Malin, the well-scrubbed couple behind the beauty line Malin+Goetz, I washed my hair with Frederic Fekkai protein shampoo. I followed this with Terax conditioner, which I left in for three minutes because I'd been at the beach over the weekend. Then I washed my face with Caudalie gentle foaming cleanser, and exfoliated with Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion in a Jar. I scrubbed my body with a Philosophy liquid soap whose bottle exhorted that I love myself - at once! Out of the shower, I applied a Mario Badescu cucumber astringent and, with my ring finger, dabbed Astara eye cream on the bags. Then I applied Cr?me de la Mer lotion all over my face, allowing that to soak in before covering it with La Mer UV shield, SPF 18. From the neck down, I moisturized with Frederic Malle Lait du Corps. Once I toweled off my hair, I worked a little Kusco-Murphy Lavender Cream into the roots.
"How sick am I?" I thought to myself as I walked towards the Malin+Goetz shop on Seventh Avenue at Twentyfirst Street.
Andrew and Matthew make me think of Susan Powter, that crew-cut diet guru from the 1990s who wanted to "Stop the Insanity!" Their beauty line has one face wash and one face moisturizer, one shampoo and one conditioner, one body scrub and one body moisturizer, three liquid body soaps, and a lip balm. Period. "We just thought about what we actually needed," says Andrew, "and the fact that we're often in a rush."
I immediately liked Matthew and Andrew. They are friendly, charming, and just goofy enough. And they really love their bulldogs. I will confess that I didn't initially believe that, by adding another line of well-packaged, good-smelling, chemically sound beauty products to the world, they were adhering to an ethos of simplicity. But they are very convincing.
Andrew previously ran the New York branch of Vitra, the sleek German modern furniture company. Matthew had worked for a number of beauty outfits, including Helmut Lang and Kiehl's. But when Kiehl's sold out to L'Oreal, Matthew departed, envisioning an opportunity to create a small, niche brand. "Kiehl's was bound to get bigger," explains Andrew. "But we could be small and neighborhood-based."
"We took a very serious, clinical approach to the treatments," Matthew explained. He suffers from eczema; Andrew says his skin occasionally gets a little oily. A salesperson for any selfrespecting beauty line would be aghast at the notion that Andrew and Matthew would share a cleanser, let alone a moisturizer. Why, after all, make one sale when you could just as easily make two? But Andrew and Matthew were determined to make products that would work equally well for both of them. "We want everyone to be able to use our whole line without the risk of irritation," says Matthew. "We kept it really basic and effective." And unisex. "We love the idea of couples sharing," Andrew emphasizes. Not only would the regimen be basic, but the ingredients would be kept simple, too. No heavy waxes or perfumes - the fresh botanical scents wash away completely, leaving the customer fully prepared for a spritz of fragrance.
Andrew and Matthew opened their chic, antiseptic shop on Seventh Avenue in March. Even though Chelsea is hopping with restaurants, bars, and clubs, it's not a luxury retail destination like Soho. Andrew and Matthew prefer to be at a slight remove from the mobs that throng to beauty meccas like Sephora and Ricky's. All the same, Chelsea is not Siberia.
If nothing else, it's a hotbed of grooming activity.
In keeping with their pureand-simple concept, Andrew and Matthew built the sparest, most meticulous store imaginable. The space has been stripped down to a raw shell of exposed brick, within which they have set a white box of Corian. A single counter running the length of one wall displays the products. Andrew's brick-walled office is in the back of the shop, where he (cringe) 'Works outside the box."
Early adapters have responded. The brand has been glowingly reviewed everywhere - from W to InStyle. The very discriminating Rescue Spa in Nolita stocks Malin+Goetz products. A chic new hotel in Mexico City has commissioned Andrew and Matthew to design their "amenities program," including shampoo and soap. And, there's the inevitable celebrity fan Janet Jackson loves their stuff. Now that I've tried the products, I can vouch for them. They smell nice while you use them, but the scents don't linger. Their soaps, cleansers, and shampoos lather into a satisfying foam and then rinse away without a trace. And the body and face moisturizers kept me from becoming shiny or sticky, even on a merciless July day in Manhattan. After a full regimen, I felt squeaky clean.
Their products are already sold in twenty stores, and customers are begging them to get a little less simple, asking for eye cream and exfoliant. Andrew and Matthew are considering all options, so long as they remain "basic." "Maybe a toothpaste and toothbrush," Matthew offers. I considered my own overstuffed bathroom, wondering how I will ever work "simple" into my daily routine.

Police: 2 boys, 11 and 7, use gun in carjack try
Portland police say he had cocked, loaded gun pocket
PORTLAND, Ore. - Police say two boys, ages 11 and 7, had a loaded gun and tried to carjack and rob a woman in southeast Portland Saturday afternoon.
KGW reports that after hearing reports of an 11-year-old with a gun, police responded to 16000 Southeast Alder Street, near the Freedom Foursquare church, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson with the Portland Police Bureau.
Officers approached an 11-year-old and a 7-year old boy on the south side of the church.
Police said they told the 11-year-old to keep his hands out of his pockets, but he ignored them. The officers grabbed his arms and found a cocked and loaded .22 caliber handgun in his pocket, Simpson said.
The officers were then flagged down by a 22-year-old woman who said she was sitting in her truck when the two kids approached her in the church parking lot and tried to carjack her while she waited for her parents, Simpson said.
Ami Garrett told officers the 7-year-old told the 11-year-old to "show her your piece" and the older boy lifted his shirt and showed her the gun.
Garrett refused to give up her truck, so the kids demanded her phone and money, telling her they couldn't leave without something, and threatened to shoot her, Simpson said.
Garrett said she didn't give them anything. Instead, she drove away and called police. As she was driving, she said she saw the 11-year-old pull the gun out.
Because of the boys' ages, they were placed into the custody of their families, as they could not be taken to the Donald E. Long Juvenile Home. But when the 11-year-old was taken home, he took off running. He was quickly caught again and left in his parents' custody.
Simpson said all reports will be given to the juvenile court for follow-up and detectives will continue to investigate how the 11-year-old boy was able to obtain a firearm.

Pussy willow blooms will begin or should've have already begun, next we'll be early cherries (we've got at least 50 trees in the surrounding 500sq meters). Blooms we'll be plentiful in a weeks time (some early tulips have bloomed as well). I guess I won't be adjusting the temperature then.
If you can adjust the temp 15 to 18C is plenty warm enough. The bees will regulate the inner cluster to the temp they want. You should also have a peek every 2 to 3 days on their syrup supply. You don't want them to run out at any time until about dandelion bloom around the first half of April. If the weather allows for steady foraging there should be plenty to gather after that.
Update for today, checked on the syrup and they've taken 500mL and about 200mL is remaining, I'll change it out tomorrow. They haven't eaten the pollen patty much. Also on another note I was roasting some coffee by the hive at 8pm and 20-30 bees came out of the hive, any idea why? other than that I'll be doing a much more thorough inspection on Friday (Sunny day) and I'll report back.
Pretty amazing how cold bees can look so dead and revive with heat.
Hard to do, but the longer you can leave them alone the better. You will only be looking for eggs, and not seeing any until 2 weeks is not a problem, though some queens will lay on the first bits of comb.
The question is when will knowing or not knowing if the queen is laying change your management plan?
If the comb is not straight will you straighten or wait for better weather? Not really a right or wrong answer, just a timing question.

I'm very OK with letting Lawerence Tynes go.. I've always said, i just don't trust em, and he can always miss a makable FG and seems to just make alot of easy ones as well, and is terrible from deep, where i think is the only area u can really tell the diffrence from a Good kicker and a Kicker that makes only what just about every NFL kicker should make..
It would be great if Rivers could put together an injury free season. He was the most explosive linebacker to wear blue in a while.
I'd be content with 3 of those things happening.
1) Michael Boley being cut in favor of Jacquan Williams, and Keith Rivers taking over.. but who will be SAM? My guess if they draft a MLB during the draft, Rivers and Williams will be on the outside.. not bad IMO
2) Tynes being cut.. Dear god, wherever will be find another FG kicker that can't make a kick outside 50?
3) Beatty getting franchised, that means they want him to stay and become a lockdown LT.. Pay the man, all the money we're paying two average linemen (Diehl, Snee) comes off the books in the next two years anyway
However, as I've said many times.. If Diehl is on this roster next year, Tom Coughlin will find a way to put him in the lineup and stunt the growth of younger lineman. Cut him, bring back Locklear and hope for the best with Brewer, because he can't be any worse than Diehl.
Rolle, and Webster should be cut but I doubt that happens.
Kp is gone unless he takes a contract like tt did last year with injury clause etc to re-establish his value I won't be shockd if Philly picks him up or Dallas they need safetys bad
For all those that want Bradshaw off this team don't count on it. Yeah he makes good money. That's because he is worth it. The injuries are something they can only hope don't happen, but when he plays he is very good. Also, and so many hate to hear his, he is an excellent blocker. That is something that Brown, Scott, and Wilson can not say. Do you think the team will not have at least one good blocking back on the team? Hill is the future at Safety for this team. I think he can fill the role of KP when he is one which may be this year.

I want to expand from selling at the farm gate to selling at retail outlets. To do that I need to grade my honey. Grading for colour, and moisture are straight forward. I'm struggling with filtering. So far I've been letting the honey settle and bottle from the bottom of the tank. The clarity is good and my customers are happy. This won't fly for meeting grade No. 1. What are others doing to meet the regulation? What is involved in pushing the honey through a #80 mesh (.180mm)? Is gravity sufficient or does the honey need to be heated/pressurized? I'd like to do as little processing on the honey as possible.
I suppose I could always mark it as "substandard" I'm sure the customers would read it and put it back on the shelf....
Ontario No. 1
The honey,
(a) contains not more than 17.8 per cent moisture or, where its container is marked pasteurized, not more than 18.6 per cent moisture;
(b) is free from any foreign material that would be retained on a screen having a sieve opening of 0.180 mm;
(c) contains not more than 0.1 per cent water insoluble solids or, where its container is marked pressed, not more than 0.5 per cent water insoluble solids;
(d) has a flavour characteristic of its colour classification and is free from any objectionable flavour, aroma or taint;
(e) where its container is marked liquid, is clear, bright, uniform in colour and free from visible crystals; and
(f) where its container is marked creamed or is otherwise marked to indicate that the contents are granulated, has a smooth fine texture and complete and uniform granulation.

A great, clean location for a Paris visit. We were two couples with two inquisitive boys. From here you can reach most attractions on foot and short return to the apartment for a break. The visit to Disney Park is wonderful due to the Metro and RER nearby. The settlement and accounting including keys worked super easy. Thank you for this beautiful experience.
Eine tolle, saubere Location für eine Parisbesichtigung. Wir waren zwei Ehepaare mit zwei wissbegierigen Jungs. Von hier aus kann man die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen und für eine Pause kurz in die Wohnung zurückkehren. Auch die Besichtigung von Disneypark geht auf Grund der Metro und RER Nähe wunderbar. Die Abwicklung und Buchung samt Schlüsselübergabe funktionierte super einfach. Danke für diese schöne Erfahrung.
There were four in the apartment and it was really good! Although the bed was actually meant for distribution Parents with two children, it was no problem. Best of all was the kitchen. Cook saves just in Paris a lot of money! The furnishings were nice.
Perfect also was the location three minutes walk and you were at Notre Dame! In conclusion, we would definitely come back and had a great apartment. The only Harken was the complicated booking. ..
Wir waren zu viert in der Wohnung und es war wirklich gut! Auch wenn die Bettenverteilung eigentlich für Eltern mit zwei Kindern gedacht war , war das kein Problem. Am besten war die Küche. Selbst kochen spart gerade in Paris ziemlich viel Geld! Auch die Einrichtung war schön.
Perfekt war außerdem die Lage, drei Minuten Fußmarsch und man war bei notre dame! Abschließend lässt sich sagen, dass wir gerne wieder kommen und eine super Wohnung hatten. Der einzige Harken war die komplizierte Buchung. ..
Everything was ok in the apartment. Very clean and the equipment was fine. We had a pleasant stay. Thanks a lot.
Lovely apartment
The stay was very good, great apartment is located and perfect for two or three people, the only negative thing is that I see no need to charge the deposit beforehand in case something is not right to go as they have been over 600 € refund even though I hope that a few days have passed since my return, the formalities of papers were also somewhat cumbersome but in the end we understood
La estancia ha sido muy buena, el apartamento esta genial localizado y perfecto para dos o tres personas, lo único algo negativo es que no veo necesario cobrar de antemano la fianza por si algo al irte no esta correcto ya que han sido mas de 600€ aun espero el reembolso aunque se que han pasado pocos días desde mi vuelta, los tramites de papeles también fueron algo farragosos pero al final nos entendimos
The apartment was very clean and very well located. Fully equipped. The most negative aspect is the management of the apartment. Once hired and paid, the company pariscommechezvous not answer our emails and we had to call; once there, we were misinformed about how we handed over the keys; Once we're back, it's been two days and we do not return the deposit of 650 euros we had to make or answer our emails. In conclusion, the customer service is not their priority.
El apartamento estaba muy limpio y muy bien situado. Totalmente equipado. El aspecto más negativo es la gestión del apartamento. Una vez contratado y pagado, la empresa pariscommechezvous no contestaba nuestros mails y tuvimos que telefonear; al llegar allí, estábamos desinformados sobre cómo nos entregarían las llaves; una vez hemos vuelto, han pasado dos días y no nos devuelven el depósito de 650 euros que tuvimos que hacer ni contestan nuestros mails. En conclusión, la atención al cliente no es su prioridad.
It was the same flat we rented last year,so we did like it, otherwise we wouldn't have. The only change was we didn't meet anyone this year, not even for check-in and that was a little disconcerting at the beginning. But everything went fine, citylocker included, and Diane via email and the people on the phone were really helpful. We hope to rent it again next year.
Apartment clean, functional, equipped with everything you need and more, perfectly meeting the description given on the website, well prepared (the Jussieu metro stop is 20m from the front door and a short walk you arrive at Notre-Dame), well provided by grocery stores (there's one in Place Jussieu open every day, even on New Year's Day).
Downside: the bunk bed can not be moved and re-do the two beds is rather inconvenient.
Appartamento pulito, funzionale, fornito di tutto il necessario e anche di più, perfettamente rispondente alla descrizione fatta sul sito, ottimamente disposto (la fermata della Metro Jussieu è a 20m dal portone e con una breve passeggiata si arriva a Notre-Dame), ben fornito di negozi di alimentari (ce n'è uno in Jussieu Place aperto tutti i giorni, anche a Capodanno).
Unico inconveniente: il letto a castello non può essere spostato e rifare i due letti è piuttosto scomodo.
The app looks pretty much like the picture show, clean and charm. getting keys and check out was easy. Very nice place close to metro,buses.Thank you!
Everything was well organized! A pleasant stay! The apartment was as described. It was clean and quiet. I spent a good week!
Tout était bien organisé! Un séjour agréable! L'appartment était comme décrit. C'était propre et calme. J'ai passé une bonne semaine!

Friday night I was given the awesome opportunity to go to the Myths Busted Tour, hosted by MythBusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman. The show was everything I could have hoped, from things going wrong on stage to Adam's jokes to the tricks they played on willing volunteers.
The show opened with smoke, light effects and a thunderous applause. They started the show off running, asking for volunteers. The gag ended with two of the volunteers being asked to interweave the pages of a phone book together for an experiment where Adam's life would be in the hands of the phone book, Jamie, and an inflatable mattress.
Before beginning the experiment Adam gave us a little insight into their insurance company. He told us a story about the time they were testing the myth that you could cushion your fall with fabric awnings. After some deliberation, the insurance company decided that the stunt was far to dangerous for Adam to attempt … instead, they said Tory could do it.
He went on to explain the different ways the insurance company decides if something is safe enough for them to take it on themselves. While being hoisted up above the stage, a stage hand placed an inflatable mattress beneath him and Adam explained that it was an insurance requirement. We all got a good laugh at that one, because the mattress looked pretty flimsy from our point of view.

An absolutely huge ball sack, round and plump to the point of nearly exploding, similar to a bloated stomach. Often veiny and riddled with shallow wrinkle lines, in extreme cases it resembles a beach ball from the 1960's, overly inflated to the point of bursting. Usually smells like a cross between undercooked pork and horse hoof.
He mistakenly put his bloatus in my face, thinking I'd be able to get that huge stinking sack of potatoes in my mouth.

The Rain Parade
The Rain Parade was formed by guitarists David Roback and Matt Piucci, who met when they were roommates at a small college in Minnesota. Both had a keen interest in music, and while their heads had been turned by the explosion of punk rock, both were fascinated by bands like Love and the Byrds, and as Roback told a reporter, "the Rain Parade was very much a recasting of our punk interests in more musical terms, inspired by our fascination with music history." Piucci decided to leave school in April 1981 in order to move to California and make music, and Roback followed suit. They formed a band called the Sidewalks to perform '60s-style garage rock, but soon they started exploring the more refined branches of psychedelic rock, and they evolved into the Rain Parade, with Piucci and Roback joined by David's brother Steven Roback on bass, Will Glenn on keyboards, and Eddie Kalwa on drums. When the Rain Parade began playing out in the spring of 1982, they discovered they weren't the only band in town that had embraced sounds of the '60s, and along with the Dream Syndicate, the Long Ryders, Green on Red, True West, the Three O'Clock, and the Bangles, they became part of a scene that was dubbed "the Paisley Underground," though each band clearly had their own sound and influences. In mid-1982, the Rain Parade recorded and self-released their first single, "Look What She's Done to Your Mind" b/w "Kaleidoscope," and as their local following grew, the following year they struck a deal with ambitious independent label Enigma Records, and released their debut album, Emergency Third Rail Power Trip. Zippo Records, distributed by the well-connected indie label Demon Records, issued the album in the U.K., and soon the Rain Parade were becoming a critical favorite with a growing fan following on both sides of the Atlantic. David Roback, however, quit the group before they could begin work on their next recording, and he soon re-emerged with the band Clay Allison, which gave way to Opal, featuring former Dream Syndicate bassist Kendra Smith. As a quartet, the Rain Parade recorded an EP, Explosions in the Glass Palace, that was issued in 1984, and the group became a five-piece again with the addition of guitarist John Thoman, who came aboard in time for a tour of Japan that produced the live album Beyond the Sunset, released in 1985. The Rain Parade signed a major-label deal with Island Records, and the band recorded their second full-length studio effort for the label, 1986's Crashing Dream, which featured new drummer Mark Marcum. However, the album's very '80s production, full of synthesizers and gated drums, put off their core fans without attracting many new ones, and before the year was out, the Rain Parade had called it a day.
Roback would later find mainstream success with the group Mazzy Star, while Steven Roback formed Viva Saturn and Matt Piucci cut a memorable album with Tim Lee of the Windbreakers, Can't Get Lost When You're Goin' Nowhere, under the group name Gone Fishin. Piucci also sat in with Crazy Horse for the sessions that produced the 1989 album Left for Dead. In the fall of 2012, Matt Piucci, Steven Roback, and John Thoman assembled a new edition of the Rain Parade to play a benefit after Windbreakers guitarist Bobby Sutliff was seriously injured in an auto accident. For the benefit, Piucci, Roback, and Thoman were joined by guitarist Mark Hanley, bassist Alec Palao, and drummer Gil Ray. Following the Sutliff benefit, the new edition of the Rain Parade headed out on a brief tour, and in late 2013, they were part of a pair of shows (in Los Angeles and San Francisco) in which they shared the stage with three other iconic Paisley Underground bands, the Bangles, the Three O'Clock, and the Dream Syndicate. ~ Mark Deming

A former Dominion Finance manager has told a court he considered being a "whistleblower" on some of the activities that allegedly went on at the firm but instead left the company just months before its receivership.
Dominion risk manager Martin Sweetapple gave evidence for the Crown in the second day of the trial of three men associated with the collapsed firm.
Dominion Finance director Robert Barry Whale, former chief executive Paul William Cropp and an accused with name suppression pleaded not guilty to theft by a person with a special relationship.
In the case brought by the Serious Fraud Office, the accused allegedly entered into a number of related-party transactions and knowingly breached requirements of the debenture trust deeds of Dominion Finance and sister company North South Finance.
In the witness box this morning, Sweetapple told the High Court at Auckland of instances where $3 million had gone from North South's bank account to Dominion's when funds were dwindling over the 2007/08 Christmas period.
"On one particular day over a million dollars was paid out [to debenture holders] and it left very little in Dominion Finance's bank account," Sweetapple said.
Another million dollars was due to be paid out the next day and Sweetapple said there wasn't enough money in the account.
He noticed the next day that "perhaps $3 million" had been come over from North South's account to Dominion's.
According to the Crown, $11.9 million was transferred from North South to Dominion over time "under the auspices of security sharing agreements".
In exchange for the funds, North South through the agreements acquired an interest in already defaulting or problem loans, the Crown argues.
Around the time of one of these security sharing arrangements in early 2008 Sweetapple said someone from his office told him Dominion was "funding its bad loans" through North South Finance.
Sweetapple said he had considered turning whistleblower.
"I contemplated whether I should speak to some external party about what was going there, be it the trustee, I don't know. In other words: should I be a whistleblower?" he told the court.
The risk manager said he had made up his mind to leave the company.
He moved to ASB Bank in May 2008, just months before the Dominion Finance went into receivership that September.
During his testimony, Sweetapple said in April 2008 that Dominion Finance's liquidity position was "touch and go".
When Crown prosecutor Brian Dickey asked the witness about the picture of the company's liquidity, he replied:
"Well the funds were dwindling and they were heavily reliant on some exposures that should have been repaid, matured loans, expired loans, that should have been paid that weren't being paid as they fell due."
Earlier, the Crown witness said that he didn't believe issues with related-party loans were raised with the credit committee, which was the body responsible for approving or declining the loans which Dominion or North South gave out.
"Was the issue of whether an entity was or wasn't a related-party a concern of the credit committee? And if so, how?" Dickey asked Sweetapple.
"It should have been a concern but I don't ever remember it being raised," the witness replied.
Dominion owed almost 6000 investors a total of $176.9 million when it went into receivership. Receivers estimate that debenture holders will recover between 10c and 25c in the dollar.
North South went into receivership in July 2010 owing 3900 debenture holders a total of $31 million, who are estimated to get back between 65c and 70c in the dollar.

Sounds like a plan.
Sounds like a plan.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Here's one of my prototype top-bar bait hives.
It's basically just a miniature of Phil Chandler's top bar design.
I'd love to build them a tad smaller/lighter, but I have a feeling that would greatly lessen my chances of capturing a swarm. I already have a plan to place the steel rings that screw-in at each corner and then string through nylon rope for hoisting. I have a pulley also.
I also plan on staple-gunning some banner material over the roof and partway down the sides for added protection from weather.
Nice looking trap PatBeek. I like the size. I made two, one 8 bar and the other 10 but no takers yet. I gave up on the 8 bar and put a split in it. Seems a bit small now that it has 5 bars of comb and a few shakes of bees. Your 15 bar is probably a better size.
This is my first so I don't know yet how successful it will be. Do you have any bees yet or are you waiting on the luck of the swarm?
I like it! I just built my first one yesterday--I made it 10 bars. Seeing as it hasn't caught a swarm yet, it's a total failure.......
I was curious about the entrance to your trap--it looks like an 1 1/2 hole with screws in it? Won't it be hard to seal the entrance with a cork for transport? Maybe I'm missing something?
You may want to consider side entrances. They naturally keep the rain out.
Is there any reason that wouldn't work? Please let me know before I do anything drastic, like stick it 15 feet up in a tree.
But I guess I have this mental block that erroneously believes they will build comb a certain direction based on where the entrance who is. Obviously, after two seconds of thought, that very idea is rendered completely absurd.
I will definitely consider side entrances on the next several I build.
Here's the bait hive ready to go.
I saw a website the other night that suggested making a mock flower around the hole to make it more attractive and easier to spot.
I also covered it with banner material and gave it an expert camo color job.
I would just staple some hardware cloth over the entrance on success. Has the added benefit to giving a little ventilation to the hive during the move. That or screw a block of wood or something else over the front.
I don't think the bees orient the comb based on the entrance. But if they do, you definitely want it on the side. Otherwise all of those Langs would be wrong. I have a nuc (2 feet) that I made last year and someone other than me cut the hole in the front. It is the only hive that has taken any water. Had to add a porch to it to keep it dry.
What did you use for the top? I used Coraplast on my top bar bait hives, which works great, but I thought maybe Tyvec would work as well, and I can get that for free in small bait hive pieces from a construction site. I was worried Tyvec may leak since it is supposed to breath (I think).
I made one like this but drilled the hole on the end up at an angle rain has to come sideways to get into it when it runs down the side and hits the angled edge of the hole it keeps runnin down the side.
I've got an 18 bar tbh I'm using for a swarm trap at the moment. It was a dead out, as I tried to winter a nuc in it. So I left one comb in it at the back, and then filled in the other 17 bars with empties.
Some of my tbh traps are just square boxes with top bars in them. They're easier to build, and I figure, even if I didn't get to the box for a bit and they built square combs, they're easy enough to trim. I also use #4 hardware cloth over bait hive entrances. I just use a big screw driver to stretch a couple of the squares for easier drone movement.
Swarm trapping is a fun thing to do.

Fall rabies clinics set for Sept. 23-27
Every spring and fall, Haywood County Animal Services, the Haywood County Health Department and veterinarians from several animal hospitals around the county collaborate on a series of Rabies Clinics to encourage citizens to get their pets vaccinated.
According to North Carolina law, in order for a rabies vaccine to be current, all dogs, cats and ferrets ages four months old and older must be vaccinated against rabies. North Carolina courts have ruled that to be in compliance with the law, the rabies vaccination must be administered by a licensed veterinarian.
The clinics will be held at the following locations:
- Monday, Sept. 23 – Jonathan Valley School
- Tuesday, Sept. 24 – Canton Middle School and Bethel Middle School (bus parking lots)
- Wednesday, Sept. 25 - Hazelwood Elementary School
- Thursday, Sept. 26 – Riverbend Elementary School
- Friday, Sept. 27 – Old Fines Creek School
The cost per vaccine is $9. The clinics will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. Participating veterinary clinics include Animal Hospital of Waynesville, Balsam Animal Hospital, Canton Animal Hospital, Country Lane Animal Hospital, Junaluska Animal Hospital and Maple Tree Veterinary Hospital. Most veterinary hospitals will also offer rabies shots for $9 during normal business hours on each of the clinic days.
For more information on rabies in Haywood County, please contact Animal Services at 456-5338 or the county Environmental Health Department at 452-6682. There is also a wealth of information on rabies available on the web from the Epidemiology Division of North Carolina Public Health at www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/rabies/, or from the federal Centers for Disease Control at www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/rabies/ .
