Missoula Goodwill to relocate
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Missoula Goodwill store announces its new home in the old Armory Building on South Reserve Street, across from Shopko.
At 28,000 square feet, the new building will consolidate the store's retail space and processing warehouse.
The current warehouse is separated from the store on North Avenue.
Even after combining the two facilities, the new location will provide 5,000 square feet of added retail space.
Customers of the Missoula Goodwill are most excited to hear that the move will mean more parking for shoppers.
"We have to circle the block over and over to find a spot here," one Presidents' Day shopper told KECI. "So I think that will be an awesome benefit for that location."
The store plans to make the move sometime in late summer. When it does, all merchandise in the old location will be liquidated, and the new location will be freshly stocked with more recent donations.

Bhatia Hospital at Mumbai, founded in 1932 is a family hospital offering the latest and the best in medical, surgical and nursing care for past eight decades.
For the Intensive Care Unit they have opted for metal ceiling and selected GI Lay-in Plain Metal tiles as their product, keeping
in mind design, acoustics, intergration of services and high light reflectance. For the flooring Accolade was a obvious choice,
while Wallflex vinyl wallcovering was selected for the walls considering a hygienic wall covering that is both durable and
provides a seamless coating for healthcare interiors of a ICU needing low maintenance.

I play 27 holes 5 days a week. These BOA shoes are excellent. Easy to put on and with a few twists they are perfect. Never a broken lace to worry about.
The shoes are comfortable and this system is idiot proof.
I would never buy another shoe with out the BOA system.


text:
not sure any of you have tried or heard of the 300 BO.
so i decided to take the plunge and get the upper & some ammo.
after 150 rounds (suppressed w/ 16 inch barrel) i can honestly say i love it, it is an absolute blast to shoot.
i put a millett 1 to 4 power scope on it, out to a hundred yards,subsonic it was kick ass!!!
I'm gonna try to stretch it out when i get a chance, if it's pretty accurate to 200 or better, I've just found my hog rifle.
I was shooting 175 grain at a 100 yards it was a tack driver, i was very impressed with it.

Entrepreneur, environmentalist, designer, innovator: David Paull has made a name for himself
Driven by his passion for sustainability, which was fostered in SCAD's interior design program, David Paull founded Compost Wheels, a company that provides composting services to urban customers who don't have the space to do their own composting. Compost Wheels picks up organic waste from Atlanta households and leaves a bag of finished, composted soil behind.
David recently appeared on "Now in America," a documentary about the everyday struggles of modern Americans, airing over the course of a month on CNN and Headline News. David served as a green-living expert for a family challenged to live waste-free for a month—in other words, no trash could come out of their home for an entire month.
"What's really important is understanding how products are packaged and how that package can be repurposed, reused, recycled," David explains. One of his top challenges working with the family was teaching them to "pre-cycle," or consider product waste before even walking out of the grocery store.
With David's guidance, the family was able to successfully meet its waste-free goal.
Within the larger umbrella of sustainability, David's greatest passion is urban agriculture and the promotion of sustainable food sources. He is focusing his interior design degree on issues of sustainability and energy-efficient design. "The large centers of economic health are our cities," David says. "A lot of these cities were founded around farms, so we need to support that history. We need to figure out a more sustainable way to live."
Last year, David was part of an Atlanta team that designed a completely self-powered urban farm for the Trinity Avenue Farm Design Competition, a competition hosted by the Atlanta mayor's office. "We had everything, from an educational program, which I wrote, to our solar-capturing system, to our rain harvesting, to aquapaunics, which is fish and plant culture," David says. "The finished design was self-sufficient. We would even have the ability to sell back our unused energy."
David's team was a finalist in the competition. The winning design will be developed on a lot across from Atlanta City Hall. But David's not resting on his laurels while he waits for the results; he also recently designed a sustainable rooftop garden for the W Hotel.
After he graduates from SCAD, David intends to supplement his B.F.A. in interior design with an M.B.A. and devote his professional life to designing sustainable urban farms, both indoor and outdoor, and developing urban agriculture initiatives and businesses in American cities. David says his ultimate goal is "to create businesses that employ people for meaningful work, so people are overjoyed to do their work while contributing to the world."

News Release
Council Roundup: Council rejects helipad moratorium
The Bellevue City Council Monday voted unanimously to consider changes to the city's helicopter landing regulations.
The council rejected proposals for an immediate moratorium on helistops and helipads or a code amendment prohibiting all but emergency helicopter landing facilities citywide. Deputy Mayor Claudia Balducci supported these proposals, saying that each would offer a "time-out" before any new helicopter landing permit applications are made.
Neither proposed action would have applied to a helistop permit now before city officials. Kemper Development has obtained a conditional use permit to locate a helistop atop the Bank of America building downtown. An opposition group, citing concerns about noise and safety, has appealed the permit, and the council must make a ruling in November.
Mayor Grant Degginger argued against a prohibition or moratorium on helicopter landing facilities, asserting that it would be difficult for residents to separate the council's action on that from the ruling the council must make in November on Kemper Development's permit application.
Council members asked that changes to helicopter landing regulations be revisited soon after the ruling on the pending permit has been made.

Anyone ever made their own couscous?

I like barley couscous but can't find it here anymore.
I understand there is corn couscous as well but not here too
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough

Re: Cous Cous recipe
I remember the first time I tried couscous and it seemed to taste like nothing. I couldn't see the point!
I love it now, and find it very easy to make with the 'add to boiling salted water with a little oil' method, letting it steam for a couple of minutes and then fluffing it up by forking a bit of butter through it.

Re: Cous Cous recipe
Pakman: I also like Barley CC. Waitrose do one, I have seen it elsewhere, now I remember, Munich, not much help, sorry.
Elderflower Vinegar came with a warning about its strength, from the maker. But Elerflower is delicate and flowery. This had a strong Elderflower kick. I used it before I had any sherry vinegar in my cupboard. The sherry vinegar I have is perhaps, not as good as some, it�s a well known brand, and they also do olive oil. Bottom line the elderflower worked better. I would advise you use Sherry, as my Elderflower is probably not going to be replicated, by a supermarket.
Cous Cous is something to go plain next to spicy, or jazzed up next to plain or on its own. Most people also find it dull, then like JoyYamDaisy, like it. I was one of those people too.

I do not recall exactly where I saw the article and have no idea in what papers it would actually be claimed. I do know it was not the run of the mill beekeeper conversation. It may have been on vsh.org that I first ran across it. I do know there are more reliable claims so it might be worth the time to search.

Under the Jamahiriya Revolution, Libyans won the end of the colonial-supported monarchy and the removal of US troops. Libyans came to enjoy the highest standard of living in all of Africa including free education through university, and free high-quality medical care. Libya was working to unite Africa with a bank and dollar of its own to replace the exploitive debt-inducing policies of the World Bank and the IMF. Did US AFRICOM and NATO use the UN vote for a "no fly zone" to protect Libyan civilians as cover to massively bomb the country's infrastructure and to kill thousands of civilians, confiscate the Libyan national treasury, to get control of the oil?

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
Genau das was wir gesucht haben,
eine nette Wohnung mit zwei Schlafzimmern, kleiner Küche (Gas wunderbar zum Kochen), Bad und Tisch mit der Gelegenheit zu viert zu frühstücken.
Die Lage mitten zwischen little italy und chinatown ist super.
Lärm war kein Problem da es abends auch in chinatown ruhiger wird und ein Schlafzimmer auch zum Innenhof gelegen ist.
Kann die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen.
Apartamento comodo y espacioso ideal para 4 personas. cuenta con todo lo que se ofrece. Los anfitriones fueron muy atentos. Lo unico negativo fue un problemita con insectos indeseables. Llamamos a Vanessa y se encargo del asunto.
tener en cuenta que los anfitriones solo hablan ingles....
Ich habe drei aufregende Tage in New York mit meiner Familie verbracht. Das Appartment liegt in der Grand Street, ganz dicht an einer Metro Station, so dass man super mobil ist, ohne ein Auto zu benötigen. Darüber hinaus sind viele interessante Orte auch gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Für 4 Personen ist das Appartment ideal, bei sechs Leuten wird es etwas eng, aber wer will schon die Zeit in New York im Appartment verbringen?
Die Abstimmung vor Ort hat perfekt geklappt.

Mike and Vanessa's place is excellent! Very well equipped at a great location. The appartment was very clean, luxurious actually and communication with Mike and Vanessa was very easy and prompt. We would definitely stay here again and hopefully it won't be too long before we do!
We used the apartment with 4 people, excellent hosts,very clean, very good location, well equipped with everything you need, Wi-Fi, nice welcome from Amy even with our late arrival. Absolutly recommendable! Thanks for everything!
Wolf & family
Everything was perfect. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The location is great. Mike and her friend were very welcoming. I totally recommend it. Thank you
We, a family of 5 persons, spent the easter in New York. The apartment was very nice, comfortable and clean! Well equiped kitchen. Wi-fi worked well. The two queen-size beds were very comfortable. Not far from subway-station, the green line, which made it easy to go all over Manhattan. We arrived late in the evening, but that was no problem and Amy who met us was very nice and helpfull.
Very good communication with the owner. Everything as agreeded, well equipped apartment in good location.

Reviews for this host's other properties
When we arrived, the apartment we had booked was not availebal due to a water leckage. This had happend two days ago, but we were not contacted. We were offered a 2 room apartment with 1 bath insteed of the 3 rooms with 2 baths we had payed for. In discussion about price reduction we were told this was an upgrade, and therefor they would not offer compensation. The last day we were allowed to keep the appartement unntil 19 o clock insteed of 12. This was a totally different apartement, and not bright, big we had booed. Disappointing.
Three of us stayed at this apartment.
It is in a fantastic location and is in a very beautiful building.
The apartment is very well laid out and is well equipped.
We really loved staying here.
2 teeny-weeny improvements - provide a tea pot and an iron. Otherwise a perfect place to stay.
Beautiful apartment in the center of Cracow. The outer appearance of the floor should not hesitate to book it when. In general, in Krakow usually they have that aspect.
Add a new set of towels with some more towel per person and a shower mat.
A magnificent place to stay in Krakow
Precioso apartamento en el centro de cracovia. La apariencia exterior del piso no debe hacer dudar a la hora de reservarlo. En general, en Cracovia suelen tener ese aspecto.
Añadiría un juego de toallas nuevo, con alguna toalla más por persona, y una alfombrilla para la ducha.
Un magnifico sitio para quedarse en Cracovia
Top Location of Apartment Turin,
Despite late arrival, no problems for key pick,
Top Lage von Apartment Turin,
Trotz später Anreise keine Probleme zwecks Schlüsselübergabe,
Agreement with the agency on time and
apartment clean and in an excellent position in the historical center,
well served by public transport and other services.
Pleasant stay.
Intesa con l'agenzia puntuale e
appartamento pulito e in ottima posizione nel centro storico ,
ben servito da mezzi pubblici e servizi vari.
Piacevole soggiorno.
A large apartment, with large rooms. Plagued with hard beds and not the least heat.
We arrived at 28 degrees, many steps up to the top floor. We had not seen that it was NOT air conditioned, so it was very hot in every room. Especially in the living room which was located in the middle of floor, no windows that could be opened. There was one fan there, and we got 2 extra, so little air was there.
En stor leilighet, med store rom. Plaget med harde senger og ikke minst varmen.
Vi kom til 28 grader, mange trapper opp til toppetasjen. Vi hadde ikke sett at det IKKE var aircondition, så det var veldig varmt i alle rom. Spesielt i oppholdsrommet som lå midt inne i etasjen, uten vinduer som kunne åpnes. Det var 1 vifte der, og vi fikk 2 ekstra, så litt luft ble der.
Very happy with the stay! Very convienient location.
The apartment was not ready when we arrived the decorators were still working. We were asked at the office to return in 2 hours and were taken to the 'house of beer' for refreshments. When we were then taken to the apartment the workmen were just finishing. The apartment was very comfortable and spacious and ideal for three couples. It was not however the apartment we had reserved having reviewed the advertised photographs! Despite this I would highly recommend the apartment and would return for another break.
Nice apartment, clean and cosy. There are only 2 bedrooms with double beds. 3 couples will not be comfortable. At night it might be noicey. Well after all it is rhight at the main square.
All in all good experience.
I was absolutely satisfied in the apartment Desiderio. The room was nicely decorated and close to the centrum. It was clean and everything was super clean. I would only complain about the one probably it took a long time until we reach the house by the apartment was found had since the address was not entirely correct. Otherwise, a super holiday in a beautiful city. Always gladly again :)
Ich war absolut zufrieden in dem Apartment Desiderio. Das zimmer war schön eingerichtet und nah am centrum. Es war sauber und alles super gepflegt. Ich würde vllt nur bemängeln das es lange gedauert hat bis wir das haus indem die Ferienwohnung war gefunden hatten da die Adresse nicht ganz korrekt war. Sonst ein super urlaub in einer wunderschönen Stadt. Immer wieder gerne :)

So, it looks like a short sale home that I put an offer on is going to happen. The seller and lender finally got antsy and is the process of accepting my offer now that the heating system broke (which will be on me to replace, but that's not the point of this post!).
Anyway, last time I bought a home, I found the inspection to be a waste of money: everything I was told, I knew, and what he uncovered as "possible" issues, he didn't expand on anyway, as it would've required an expert to come in and look at it (plumber or electrician... and I could visually see these issues anyway, and would have brought in the expert regardless of the inspector report). I've gone through the house myself with 2 people who - in my opinion - know just as much as an inspector and found what the major issues are (heating system, roof, shingles worn out, etc).
However, I am getting a mortgage (live in MA) and I believe an inspection may be necessary to secure the loan? I need to research that, which would make all this a moot point, I guess.
However, I would still love some insight as to why an inspection is worth doing.

Oh you're reffering to 3rd party games via component cables. I thought you were talking overall graphics.Because we all know Sony exclusives trump 360 exclusives.
I'm not bashing 360. Its good.
No, no, no i'm not a PS3 or XBOX fanboy. I agree with you PS3 exclusives are top notch, and that's why this time around i'll only be buying a PS4 instead of both consoles like I did last time. I've already reserved 3 PS4 exclusives
Re: Is UC3 worth re-getting?
I honestly wouldn't suggest it solely because of The Last of Us. I'm quite certain that TLoU will have a similar multiplayer to Uncharted's, but will be new and fresh, while Uncharted 3 is 1.5 years old. If you got bored of the multiplayer before, then you probably will now. It has changed, but its gameplay and style are still the same.
Re: Is UC3 worth re-getting?
Why are you asking us why you should re-get UC3- Okay, I'll tell you something very important that you yourself have to make the decision.
UC3 seems like it changed, but it *didn't*. Not a single bit. If you hated it before, there's no diff now.

Re: Is UC3 worth re-getting?
It's not worth re-getting it unless ND brings back the summer beta mechanics. (basically UC2 MP mechanics!)

Re: Is UC3 worth re-getting?
If I was you, I wouldn't buy Uncharted 3.
If I was you I would buy a long lasting Multiplayer game like Battlefield 3, and play it until PS4 comes out.
Re: Is UC3 worth re-getting?
It's up to you. You wouldn't get much of a positive response here anyway since most people here are **bleep** at ND and downright hate the game. What it comes down to is if you really want it or not...

Hi, I will have from 100-150 hives this year and was thinking about testing the waters with cranberry pollination with 50 of my hives. Ive never done a pollination contract before so I had a few questions. What are they paying for a hive in wisconsin? Whats the best way of getting a contract? (just call the growers i would assume) What kind of pesticides should i watch out for? Whats the standard hive strength for cranberries? Ive heard you can make some honey sometimes off cranberries?
I'm sure i will have more questions but thanks for any help in advance,

Beachfront Paradise on Hilton Head
Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island • Hilton Head Island, SC
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($399) or Fridays and Saturdays ($429)
- $100 Food-and-Beverage Credit
- Two Rounds of Golf at The Heritage Collection on Hilton Head
The Destination
South Carolina's Lowcountry has been known to take root in the hearts of practically all who visit. Indigo, jasmine, Sea Island cotton—there's no better place than here, where neon signs and billboards are verboten, to stop and smell the roses. And so much more. On Hilton Head Island, there's no shortage of world-class golf, water sports are a favorite local pastime, and a game or two of tennis is practically mandatory. Then again, most visitors are perfectly content to soak up some sun, wade in the Atlantic, and breathe in the aroma of tropical gardens.
The Digs
Situated on 11 acres of beachfront property punctuated by lush gardens and white sand, the all-new Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island—a AAA Four Diamond property—boasts a number of guest-friendly features, from an outdoor pool to on-site bike rentals. Each of 340 sleek, modern guest rooms comes complete with a private balcony or patio, and is equipped with high-speed Internet, luxurious triple-sheeted bedding, an iHome docking station, a small refrigerator, a Keurig coffee maker, and a 46-inch Internet-capable TV. But who's got time to stay in the room all day?
In the morning, head down to Heyward's Restaurant for a breakfast of fresh fruit, pancakes, waffles, and made-to-order eggs and omelets, all served with coffee and chilled juices. After a workout in the 24-hour fitness center—which features saunas, elliptical machines, treadmills, and weight machines—take a dip in the outdoor pool. Wade through the waves that weave along the beach, or simply kick back in a garden hammock, shaded by azaleas, wisteria, dogwoods, and jessamine.
The Diversions
• Golf at The Heritage Collection
• Bayley's Bar & Terrace
• Sea Pines Forest Preserve
• Harbour Town Lighthouse Museum
• Arts Center of Coastal Carolina
"View from the patio was wonderful, and the close proximity to the pool and the beach were just right. It was also great to have the bar next to the pool. This will be a repeat location for our family!"-- Hotels.com

On April 3rd I took 3 frames and a bundle of bees from an overcrowded hive, a very strong hive. I put them in a 10 frame deep because that's all I had with me and brought it to my backyard so I could keep an eye on it. 2 days later I put in another frame of empty comb because night temps were in the 50's and not that many bees in box, to help insulate on the side of the hive that was open, if that makes sense. The 3 frames had both open and sealed brood, nectar and pollen.
I went in today and on one of the frames, one side has 3 emergency capped queen cells and the other side has 2. They are all very close to each other. I would like to save those queens as this came from such a strong hive, but not sure how I do this. I have one of those square, 2x2" or so (might be bigger) wire press in queen cages.
That is the only thing I have as far as queen rearing goes. I have some extra 4 frame nuks, but is there a way I can somehow do a queen rearing and start some hives with so little equipment?

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]

|great sound
User: chris a, Nov 30, 2013
these are great for music listening or movie watching. i only have 2 problems with them. one is you cant lay down with them on and also you cant rest your head against anything even while sitting up.
the other gripe i have with them call quality. people sound fine to me but user complain about sounding tinny or with an echo.
if your planning on using these for running or just watching movies they sound amazing.

User: bob j, Jun 23, 2014
|this bluetooth is not good at all. it skips most the time when you are a little about 30 meter away from the phone and sometimes disconnects. i am not recommending anybody to buy this head set.

Pretty much this.
From what if seen from his post he seems young, maybe around 12.
Yep. Based on the quality of it, this is an early school project and we shouldn't really be too harsh on the guy as a result. Yeah, it's pretty terrible from a professional standpoint, but this isn't professional work and everyone starts somewhere.
After all, I have tons of terrible comics I scrawled when I was 12, so I speak from a position of experience (although I never got particularly good at drawing in the end )
Re: Look What SSM Sent Me
12 is still kind of old, especially since most of stuff is black text on white page and character cutouts. Even at 12, with no experience but your class, that should take about 2 or 3 hours max.
Oh well.

Sounds like the event will be held indoors. Sad.

Stanford's recent policy change regarding non-university events Is why they are moving to San Mateo.
Will all "Non Stanford University Events" be banned from the campus? Why ban such a Benevolent charity like the Lions?
a resident of Stanford

They are charging $30 per person for this event, but they only donated $1.7 million over 40 years (about $40,000 per year). Sounds like the vast majority of that entrance fee is going to the club, not to charity.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jan 23, 2013 at 11:50 am
The club is a non profit. The Concours cost a surprisingly large amount to conduct each year, which is where a lot of the ticket money goes. If it were not for the large contingent of volunteers, sponsorships and spaces for commercial entities this event could not happen.
There is no money retained-it all goes to charity.

I have no problem with local groups staging expensive events. Just don't call it a charity event if very little of the revenue actually goes to charity. Legitimate charity fundraising should be giving at least 75% of their revenue to the designated charities.

Stanford's University's bad neighbor policy toward the City of Palo Alto--which is tied to the University by a shared property boundary--continues down a slippery slope whereby Stanford University, which has been blessed with so much, is now drawing a very defined line in the sand stipulating: "What the University wants, it expects to get" and if it doesn't there is a gaggle of highly paid lawyers who will argue on their behalf-regardless of the moral nature of the action--and as far as giving back to the community that Stanford looks to to facilitates the personal lives of so many people who work for and live at Stanford University--forget about that--even when their good neighbor Palo Alto, a world class community, is simply asking for some space on which to park some of the most beautiful and well taken care of vehicles in the world so as to be able to charge money for an entrance fee, all of the net profit from which will simply be given to those who Stanford would likely argue--or pay someone to do argue for them--that those are the people on the planet that really need help from well funded organizations like Stanford University.

I have been made aware that some of the people involved with the concours have been paid, therefore, not all money collected is donated to charities.

Mark-- [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.}
For too long palo alto has tried to extort money from Stanford. Stanford land s private property-- no obligation to do your bidding, mark. And mark, have you inquired as to why Stanford has denied the locale for the show? I bet you have not.
a resident of Palo Verde
on Feb 10, 2013 at 11:24 am
It is time for Palo Alto as a city to step up to the plate on this one and support the Lion's in their decades long effort to simply help charities and provide a venue for this event. If not this year then certainly in future years.
Palo alto has many other smaller groups that benefit greatly from large tracks of city land and I am sure that one of the cities sites could be used for such a fun, well attended and charitable event.
The golf course, the airport, Gunn or Palo High, Foothills Park etc all have enough parking and enclosed space to make the concours viable. It would just take the will from city officials to help in obstacles and for one of those venues to give up 1 weekend of 52 to help such a well meaning group.

very disappointed to see Stanford banning the concours charity event. I will remember this when asked to donate or voting to raise my taxes.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jul 1, 2013 at 11:53 am
I had a discussion with an annual exhibitor about all of this. What none of us have been told is that the current event managers (not the Lions) have a lot to do with the problems as well. There's more than one side to this story.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

High-tech censorship on the rise in East Africa
Ethiopia has always been a country at the cutting edge of Internet censorship in Africa. In the wake of violence after the 2005 elections, when other states were only beginning to recognize the potential for online reporters to bypass traditional pressures, Meles Zenawi's regime was already blocking major news sites and blog hosts such as blogspot.com. Some sites and Web addresses have been blocked for their reporting ever since, including exiled media like Addis Neger Online and Awramba Times.

NC homes face insurance rate hike
Homeowners angry over proposed insurance hike
NORTH CAROLINA - The North Carolina Rate Bureau has filed a homeowner's rate increase request with the North Carolina Department of Insurance.
Homeowner policies would jump an average of about 18% across the state, but rates could jump 30% in coastal areas.
Johnny Robinson of Robinson and Stith Insurance in New Bern says the state has had a rate increase in four years.
"Insurance companies are looking for an increase to offset some of the coastal exposure. It's one of the things we have on the coast. We saw it last year with Irene, all the Hurricane claims and wind damage that's the consequence of living here and frankly construction cost have gone up. They're making the insurance go up," said Robinson.
According to the Insurance Journal rate increase is needed due to several factors including the rise of reinsurance, which is insurance for insurance companies. Rates have increased by 65%, causing a domino effect.
The final decision on whether the proposal goes through lies in the hands of State Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin.
A proposed increase in homeowner's insurance rates has the Town of Emerald Isle speaking out. Town commissioners have already adopted a resolution to fight the increase and hope resident will help fight the state's final decision through a petition.
According to the North Carolina Insurance Commission, the department received a homeowners rate filing from the North Carolina Rate Bureau (unaffiliated) to increase the policy of homeowners across the state by an average of nearly 18%. While the rates along the coastal region, could jump up 30%.
Town officials complain that residents already pay the highest base rates for insurance in the state.
The current rate for $75,000 worth of coverage is around $1,500 a year. If the state has its way, people could be paying roughly $2,000 at the beginning of 2013.
Resident have until October 19th to voice their concerns to NC Insurance Commissioners.

Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX II Canon and Nikon mount lens reviews: popular high-speed zoom revisedBy Kevin Carter - Friday July 12 2013 Lens Review
With a fixed f/2.8 aperture and no direct equivalent from Canon or Nikon its predecessor, the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX, was hugely popular with press photographers and HD filmmakers alike. Read on to see how well this new iteration performs in our tests.
Independent lens maker Tokina name their lenses somewhat cryptically. The $680 AT-X Pro 116 DX II is a APS-C format lens with a focal length of 11-16mm and f/2.8 maximum aperture and is a revision of the similarly named AT-X Pro 116 DX. On a Canon APS-C camera, with its slightly smaller than standard size sensor, it's the equivalent in 35mm format to a 18-26mm, on a Nikon DX format DSLR, it's a 17-24mm. Although the optical construction remains unchanged (it includes two elements with aspherical surfaces and two low dispersion glass elements), the lens adopts a new multi-coating process that delivers smoother gradation of the shadows, the firm claims. Besides that, the only other revision pertains to the Nikon mount version, which now includes the same high speed and quiet DC motor found on the Canon mount model.

congratulations, but...
I really applaud you for the great work you've being doing in the past few years: among other good things it is reintroducing meritocracy in a field where the main player (Canon), thought it could just rest on its own good reputation. Since I'm a Canon owner who would like to switch to Nikon, I'm interested in latest sensors: when are you going to test the Nikon D7100?
While the Nikon sensors perform better than the Canon ones by a large margin, the crop cameras from Canon seem to have a sensible edge in terms of sharpness (as this review clearly shows), so it would be quite interesting to see if Nikon with the D7100 has caught up with Canon or is not quite there, yet.

Re: congratulations, but...
Dear Emilie,
Thanks for your reply. :)
I know that the D7100 sensor has been already tested (that's why I wrote that Nikon sensors perform better than the Canon ones by a large margin), but it has not been tested with any lens!
It would be nice to see if the same lens produces sharper images on the D7100 than e.g., the D7000.
Best regards,

Bluejack, I'll take one 8" 5.45 barrel, address and payment details please
What's the difference between v.5 and v.3.5? I couldn't find it on the thread.
Bluejack, I'll take one 8" 5.45 barrel, address and payment details please
If the version 3.5 bbls are still available I would like to purchase one for my Rguns Krinkov kit. Please advise
Has anyone ran any real amount of rounds through any of the us made barrels? Will they exceed say 30k rounds like the real deal?
Does anyone know if BlueJack is still selling these barrels? Looking to purchase a couple of them.
Last time I talked to him he had some. He gets away from the computer from time to time due to work. He will check here and his emails for interests in barrels.
Great thanks for the quick reply 555th. Looking forward to buying some of these barrels.
555th, back in the middle of this thread Jack mentioned 16" tooling about a year ago. Did he ever get the tooling done for a 16" version? I assume thats an assumption and the 16" could be a normal 74 barrel, or it could mean a 16" version of the krink profile (I doubt it, but hell, lots of us can SBR).
For whatever reason, the other forum is having issues and is down, this is the most up to date thread I could find.

Although sweet potatoes also belong to the tuber family, they are different than white potatoes, both nutritionally and in appearance. Sweet potatoes are sweeter than yams but they can be used interchangeably.

Sweet potatoes come in two varieties: one that has a dry mealy texture (known as the bonaito), white or Cuban sweet potato, and another that has a darker orange and moister flesh and is higher in sugar. This type is known as a red sweet potato. Both varieties have thick skins that range in color, from light tan to brownish red.

Sweet potatoes are very nutritious, packing in multiple vitamins and minerals. They are also rich in carbohydrates. Therefore, if you are looking to monitor your carbohydrate intake, it is a good idea to be able to accurately count the carbohydrates in sweet potatoes.

You can fill your craving for sweet potatoes whenever you'd like because sweet potatoes are available for purchase all year long.

One medium sweet potato contains 112 calories and 26 grams of carbohydrate (equivalent to almost two slices of bread). Sweet potatoes are also rich in fiber, racking in about 15 percent in one medium sized.

Health Benefits of Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of the plant form of vitamin A. In fact, one medium sweet potato racks in more than a day's worth of vitamin A. Vitamin A is an essential fat soluble vitamin that is critical in maintaining eye health and is essential for immune function. Vitamin A is also important in cell development.

Sweet potatoes are also a good source of vitamin C, manganese, as well as vitamin B6 and potassium, and a good source of copper and fiber. They are also an excellent source of antioxidants, which may help protect our cells from damage. The phytonutrients in sweet potatoes also have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Common Questions About Sweet Potatoes:

How many calories are in sweet potato fries?

Sweet potato fries contain about the same amount of calories as white potato French fries. The difference is that sweet potatoes contain more vitamin A than white potatoes and they have a lower glycemic index, which means they are likely to raise blood sugars at a slower rate.

How many calories are in a yam?

One cup of raw yams contains about 158 calories, whereas 1 cup of raw sweet potatoes contains about 114 calories. Therefore, yams contain about 44 more calories than sweet potatoes for an equal portion.

Picking and Storing Sweet Potatoes

Choose potatoes that are heavy and firm with clean skin and few eyes. Avoid potatoes that have sprouts, soft spots, cracks, or cut edges.

Do not store potatoes in the refrigerator. Instead, store them in a dark place between 50-65 degrees Fahrenheit. Most potatoes will last about a month this way, some longer. Do not wash potatoes until they are ready to be used.

Canned sweet potatoes are available and typically are in a spiced or sugary sauce. This type of sweet potato is not the best choice as it is high in sugar and calories.

Healthy Ways to Prepare Sweet Potatoes

Add sweet potatoes to your meal plan for a vitamin and fiber rich, gluten-free natural source of carbohydrates. Sweet potatoes can be boiled, baked, roasted, grilled, whipped, pureed, and less ideally fried. They can serve as a side dish or be tossed into salads, chili, protein-packed muffins, and breads. Make them spicy or slightly sweet by using cinnamon and nutmeg to flavor them.

Recipes With Sweet Potatoes

Try using sweet potatoes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are an easy, inexpensive and versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a health meal plan.

Quote: It looks too much like the Lotus, IMO. Maybe thats a good thing though. Thoughts?
The exige is the ZO6 of the elise. Different boddy pannels but basic same chassie. And the body pannels that are different are just slightly since it's different opentings different scoops and it's a hard top coup not a open top. But it's really just a more track ready Elise, as crazy as that is =D.
Ooops, sorry. I did mean the Elise. It will be interesting to see what the Espirit is like.
i would think that the new esprit would have to be pushing out something in the neighborhood of 500hp in order to compete with the new big dogs (viper, z06, gallardo, etc...). 350-400hp will not be enough unless they make the car extremely lightwight.
i want to know what their new model is going to be. i read about it in one of the MTs. i think they said it's going to be bigger than the elise but smaller the esprit. a cayman fighter i think.

[quote user="BlueSanta"]The Martin leap didnt surprise me too much. He has had 1 of the best all around offseasons in recent memory.But my God, that is a really good top 5 RB class.
I was more shocked to see Hill vault into the top 5 WRs.
As far as Orson Charles, I remember Mayock saying he wished there were 2 categories: 1 for TEs and 1 for H-back types(he also wanted seperate categories for 34 OLB and 43 OLB). I think Mayock would argue that the top 3 TEs are all going to be valued different on each team based on the type of offense they run. Charles is the best pure H-back. Fleener likely the best end line guy and Allen the best multi-use guy.
I found it interesting that Menzie is listed as a top 5 safety. How bad is this safety class that a guy who was a decent corner but ran a bad time is now considered a top 5 safety.
Also Josh Robinson of central Florida. I mentioned this kid a while back as a sleeper. Now, according to Mayock he is a 1st round talent.

Let me remind you that #11 is retired along with just ten other player's jerseys. Phil Simms is an all-time great Giant.
And the few of you on here taking shots at him look down right shallow in your retaliation of of those petty words about Eli. Think about it, Phil simply stated Eli wasn't one of the greatest QB's of all time. That's what the man said, and now a few of you guys have turned that into some sort of insult and now are all offended. This is just ridiculous.
And one last thought on this 'clutch' issue. Ever consider the fact that our team finds itself in a position of having to win it in the end so often is not necessarily a positive thing?

When you extricate a long, dry, multi-directional strand of snot from your nostril resembling a spider web. Often due to arid conditions or proximity to a great deal of dirt or clay (like on a baseball diamond).
Dude... I got spider nose something fierce... I think the web I just pulled out reached all the way back to my brain.

I agree with the "beekeeping is local" statements. Here in the hot and humid south I think the sbb is good for the bees. As for taking too much control away from the bees in regards to evaporating nectar down to honey...Thursday I helped my mentor pull honey off of two of his hives...120# off of one hive and 80# off of another one...both hives were double deeps and we left one super on each that wasn't quiet capped off as well as he wanted it to be. We've had a very nice, moist (for a change) spring this year...not an overly dry period of time that might have helped with evaporation. The sbb did not seem to hamper the bees. And, the honey we extracted seemed to have a good moisture %...
My mentor has no problem with mites. His only treatment is powdered sugar dusting.
Just a newbee's comments here...carry on.
