Graham Reid talks past and present with country singer-songwriter Emmylou Harris
That Emmylou Harris has known singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell since 1974, but has only now got round to recording a duet album with him, makes her seem a little tardy, if not downright remiss.
But here is Old Yellow Moon, a dozen songs with Harris and Crowell sharing credit, and enhanced by typically superb musicianship from members of her touring band, Bill Payne from Little Feat and Vince Gill.
"I don't know why it took us so long," she admits. "We've been talking about doing this record probably from the first time we sat down and sang together. But he's been real busy and I've been real busy.
"Rodney and I never really take a rest, we enjoy working. Finally we just decided to put a sacred circle around this period of time to start - and finish - this record."
Some of the songs were from Crowell's back catalogue that he hadn't recorded, or ones they'd always liked, and their choice for the title track is telling.
"The lyrics are about two friends who've known each other for a long time and have a great affection for one another and share a common history.
"And there is such a sweetness in those lyrics. I've had that in my list of songs to do since about 1994 when it came to my attention through my friend Hank DeVito, one of the co-writers.
"It was obviously meant for this record, and for Rodney and I. The cut on the album is the demo, the first time we sang that song together, so it captured the essence of why this record came to be, Rodney and I just sitting down and singing together. Like we have since 1974."
The album features no songs by 65-year-old Harris who had a brief, if late-career writing spurt across her albums Red Dirt Girl, Stumble into Grace and Hard Bargain since 2000. She admits she hasn't put time into writing recently, but she's happy to have her interpreter and harmony-singer hats on.
"They fit me well and I enjoy wearing them. At some point I hope to get back to the writing, but I never feel an urgency. [For Hard Bargain] I set aside time to write and not do anything else and wrote pretty much all the songs over a certain period."
The exception, which she sang sublimely at her Vector Arena concert last November, was Darlin' Kate, written as the album was wrapping, for her friend Kate McGarrigle, who died in early 2010.
"That song is still very raw for me because Kate meant so much to so many people. I'm hoping in that song I wasn't speaking just for myself. That's why the 'we' is in there, because she was so extraordinary and touched so many people.
"She was such a character and so inspiring. I don't want to make her sound like a saint, because she was incredibly human. But she was one of the most extraordinary women I've ever known, as well as an artist. I still don't know if people are aware of the depth of her songwriting.
"And also [Kate's sister] Anna. If I had to pick one body of work the McGarrigles' stuff is what I would choose, this is what takes me to a different place.
"I don't think anyone else goes there in the way they do."
The shadow cast over Harris' career is that of her former partner, Gram Parsons, who died 40 years ago this September.
As recently as Hard Bargain two years ago, she wrote The Road about how Parsons had set her on this musical path. "I certainly wouldn't be doing what I'm doing without meeting Gram. He turned my whole idea of music on its head and helped me find my own voice. Before that, I was kind of a Joan Baez wannabe, and no one was ever going to be Joan Baez except Joan. So I don't think I would have found that particular spot where I can shine, for lack of a better word, without Gram."
Harris, known as an astute picker of songs as much as being a singular interpreter, says that what draws her is the poetry in the lyrics.
"It's the way words resonate and you just feel it is real, the beauty and sound of words. To me it's a mystery and I think we don't ever have to need to know why, we just have to get on the wave and ride it."
Accomplished at singing ballads, folk, country-rock, honky-tonk and more, she knows one place her voice won't take her.
"Opera. Someone once said that style was a product of your limitations and you have to be grateful you can't do everything.
"Because if we could, we'd all sound the same," laughs the woman who sounds like no other.

PRINZIDE® (Lisinopril-Hydrochlorothiazide) combines an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, lisinopril, and a diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide.
Lisinopril, a synthetic peptide derivative, is an oral long-acting angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. It is chemically described as (S)-1-[N2-(1-carboxy-3-phenylpropyl)-L-lysyl]-L-proline dihydrate. Its empirical formula is C21H31N3O5•2H2O and its structural formula is:
Lisinopril is a white to off-white, crystalline powder, with a molecular weight of 441.52. It is soluble in water, sparingly soluble in methanol, and practically insoluble in ethanol.
Hydrochlorothiazide is 6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-7-sulfonamide 1,1-dioxide. Its empirical formula is C7H8ClN3O4S2 and its structural formula is:
Hydrochlorothiazide is a white, or practically white, crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 297.73, which is slightly soluble in water, but freely soluble in sodium hydroxide solution.
PRINZIDE is available for oral use in two tablet combinations of lisinopril with hydrochlorothiazide: PRINZIDE 10-12.5, containing 10 mg lisinopril and 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide and PRINZIDE 20-12.5, containing 20 mg lisinopril and 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide.
Inactive ingredients are calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, mannitol, and starch. PRINZIDE 10-12.5 also contains FD&C Blue #2 aluminum lake. PRINZIDE 20-12.5 also contains iron oxide.

Guns are not priced by stopping power...brand, age, condition, new/used and other factors.
When I went shopping for a 1911 45 I found them from $350 to $1800. Caused me to reflect on what I really wanted it for - target shooting/competion in my case, so long barrel and adj sights. That eliminated most choices - and all the cheap ones.
Magnums have the best stopping power followed by the bigger the caliber the better.

Location: Molecular Characterization of Foodborne Pathogens Research
Project Number: 8072-12000-011-01-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Aug 11, 2010
End Date: Aug 10, 2015
One objective of this research project is to explore the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal [AM] fungi in crop production. The sources of AM fungi examined will be both indigenous fungi present in the soil and inoculum produced using on-farm technology developed as part of the parent CRIS project. The role of indigenous AM fungi in crop growth will be explored via creative use of tillage operations and an exclusion technique. The use of inoculum will be tested for crops in which seedlings are first grown in the greenhouse for later out planting to the field. Preliminary experiments will be conducted for the latter to optimize greenhouse culture regimes to produce seedlings that are well colonized by AM fungi and of satisfactory size and vigor via organic methods. A second objective of this project is to pursue modifications to the technology for the on-farm production of AM fungi to produce resultant inocula in a form amenable to mechanical application to the field. A third objective is to study the impact of the transition to no-till agriculture upon carbon sequestration and AM fungus populations in row crop agriculture.
The proper utilization of inoculum of AM fungi to produce vegetable seedlings for out planting to the field requires modification of routine greenhouse fertilization regimes. Too much fertilizer will inhibit colonization of plants, wasting the investment in inoculum. Conventional growers have a variety of chemical fertilizer preparations at their disposal. Organic growers are limited in this respect, and for the most part cannot manipulate the levels of individual mineral nutrients in fertility regimes. Since AM fungi are particularly useful in agricultural systems shunning chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it is important that organic growers have a greenhouse regime amenable to produce well colonized, healthy seedlings. Greenhouse potting media amendments such as compost, and high N low P fertilizers such as fish emulsion, will be studied for their effect upon AM fungus colonization of roots and overall plant growth. The role and use of AM fungi in crop production will be studied several ways. First, prior observations indicate that inoculation with AM fungi produces a significant growth response in the field when the soil has experienced disturbance, such as roto-tilling to control weeds prior to planting. This will be studied using a variety of repetitions of roto-tilling, at varying times before planting mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal leek (Allium porrum) seedlings. Leeks will be used because their mycorrhizal dependency makes them good test organisms. A second study of the use of AM fungi in crop production will utilize sweet corn. A recently adopted method for the production of sweet corn entails the production of seedlings in the greenhouse which are then later transplanted to the field. The use of AM fungi has not been examined in this production system. Uninoculated and pre-inoculated seedlings will be transplanted to the field and the effect of the inoculation upon plant growth and final yield will be quantified. The use of AM fungus inoculum produced on-the-farm is primarily limited to the production of seedlings in the greenhouse. Here, the inoculum can be efficiently and economically mixed into horticultural potting media. Application of inoculum to the field is labor intensive and limited to special, small-scale operations. The on-farm system of inoculum production produces AM fungi in a compost and vermiculite mixture. Other amendments to the system, such as porous biochar, will be tested for their use as carrier materials amenable to mechanical application to planting sites in the field. Work at the Rodale Institute's Farming Systems Trial has shown greater carbon sequestration in organically than conventionally farmed soils. This result came from farming systems that incorporated conventional tillage at all points of the crop rotation. No-till has recently been incorporated as a treatment in the Farming Systems Trial, offering the opportunity to study the potential added benefits to carbon sequestration via reduced tillage.

If you can't do everything at once, here's where to start.
Dairy cows like cool weather; they do not do like heat or humidity. Some management experts have even described them as "little heaters inside a leather bag."
Cows dissipate body heat by panting, but their ability is limited. When that ability is exceeded by the temperature load placed on them, they suffer heat stress. That causes lower feed intake, lower milk production, poor reproduction, and higher disease risk. Death is possible in extreme cases.
Cows respond well to being cooled with fans or water, especially when they are used together. Where, how, when, and how long cow cooling should be done are different for each dairy. But the bottom line advice that experts give to dairy managers about cow cooling is, do some. Here are 9 tips (in order) where they say you should start:
1. Supply adequate water. Heat-stressed cows need up to 100 percent more water than normal.
2. Provide shade in both the milking parlor holding pen and the housing area for milking cows and dry cows alike.
3. Reduce walking distance to the parlor.
4. Reduce standing time in the holding pen.
5. Improve ventilation in the holding pen and in free stalls.
6. Add cooling to the holding pen and exit lanes.
7. Provide cooling for closeup cows, especially those within three weeks of calving.
8. Provide cooling in fresh cow and early-lactation cow housing areas.
9. Provide cooling in mid- and late-lactation cow housing areas.
Cooling cows improves their performance in every important management area and is an investment that pays long-term dividends.

So, I started painting my armour plates last night, and aside from some issues with getting an even coat (something I'm struggling with in particular with Humbrol greens), I was happy with it for a first coat. So I come back today, crack open my Green 117 and start working on the ab plate. But, despite using the same pot and the same paint/thinner ratio, I noticed I was getting a lot of frosting and the colour was significantly lighter when dried. I thought I'd put in too much thinner, so I tested with less, and continued until I was using way less thinner than I should be and I was still getting horrible frosting. Can anyone shed some light on this? Has my pot of paint gone bad overnight?
Here's a picture of the issue although I don't know whether you'll see it clearly, but you can definitely see the colour difference.
What's going on? and does anyone have any advice for Humbrols? Blues, reds, even yellows go through my airbrush fine, but Green 78 and 117 so far have given me terrible coverage.

Two little witches

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
The two little witches were toddler-age sisters who Harry Potter spotted at the Quidditch World Cup final in 1994. They looked a little older than Kevin, who was about two, and were both flying around on toy broomsticks that rose only about two feet off the ground. A Ministry of Magic official caught sight of them and went to warn their parents — who he assumed were still in bed — against letting children display magical abilities in plain view. It is also possible that the girls' parents were simply unaware of the presence of Muggles nearby.

Campus Rec hosts wilderness first-aid course
By Eliot Howard
Assistant Director of Outdoor Pursuits, Campus Recreation
(Oct. 16, 2008)--UTSA Campus Recreation and the Wilderness Medicine Institute will offer a two-day, 16-hour wilderness first-aid course Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 1-2. Hosted by the Outdoor Pursuits program, the course is open to the public.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The first-aid course cost is $200 and $75 for Campus Recreation members; the course fee is touted as the lowest in Texas. With a registration deadline of Oct. 31, the class will accommodate 30 students.
Wilderness first-aid training equips and certifies individuals to deal with medical emergencies in situations where dialing 911 isn't an option. Students will learn to care for patients, often on their own, where environmental considerations are of particular concern, medical equipment is limited and advanced emergency care is more than an hour away. Techniques for prevention of illness and injury are heavily stressed.
Fast-paced and hands-on, the training covers a wide range of wilderness medicine topics for people who travel, work and enjoy time in the outdoors. The course is geared to help anyone planning a back-country experience to be prepared for a variety of wilderness medical situations.
Approved by the American Camping Association and the U.S. Forest Service, the WMI course can be used for wilderness medicine recertification by those with previous training.
For more information or to enroll, contact UTSA Outdoor Pursuits at (210) 458-6720 or visit the Wilderness Medicine Institute Web site. View related images and a video.

with bitsnoop I can't really tell (because it asn't got the popularity of some biggest site, so there isn't many comments.
also, does the magnet link actually add all of the trackers you put in the torrent or is this only DHT ? haven't figured it out yet....

Marina Erakovic was no match for world No 9 Sam Stosur at the WTA tournament in Charleston, going down 6-1, 6-2 in just 73 minutes.
The Kiwi No 1 went into the match at the Family Circle Cup in optimistic fashion after her good first-round defeat of Daniela Hantuchova but succumbed easily to the Australian. It was just the second time the two had met on the WTA Tour, with Stosur winning that match as well.
Last year Erakovic reached the third round at Charleston before falling to Serena Williams, who is the current world No 1 and top seed for this year's event.
Erakovic next plays in the doubles draw with American partner Jessica Pegula but face a difficult match against top seeds Andrea Hlavackova and Liezel Huber in the firt round.

(Germany/Austria/2012—directed by Julian Roman Pölsler)
Martina Gedeck, star of the Oscar®-winning film The Lives Of Others, brings vivid intensity to this mesmerizing tale of survival set in a spectacularly beautiful Austrian mountain landscape. In a tour-de-force performance that the Boston Globe called "astonishing," Gedeck stars as an unnamed character who suddenly finds herself cut off from all human contact when an invisible, unyielding wall inexplicably surrounds the countryside where she is vacationing. Accompanied by her loyal dog Lynx, she becomes immersed in a world untouched by civilization and ruled by the laws of nature. As she grapples with her bizarre circumstances, she begins an inward journey of spiritual growth and transcendence. Based on Marlen Haushofer's eponymous classic novel, The Wall is a gorgeous, mesmerizing adventure film that raises profound questions about humanity, solitude, and our relationship to the natural world. (108 minutes)
"Riveting and emotionally involving from start to finish. Intensely cinematic. Gedeck's performance is phenomenal." - Jonathan Romney, Screen International

lol white boys
He is promoting a new product. He tore his Achilles and has been lifting all year I bet. Plus he does play in the NFL where they get mandatory testing just in case you guys forgot. You really think if he was juicing he would have been so upfront about putting them on Twitter? These are athletes that have been lifting as much weight as possible since High School. It is natural and also in those pics I'm sure he took them right after he got done working out so he was as swollen as possible.

Reviews of this property
Ein sehr kleines und feines Gästehaus! Die Lage ist gut, wir haben uns -kostenlos- zwei Räder ausgeliehen und haben damit eine eigene Sightseeingtour gemacht. Alles in einem können wir es nur weiterempfehlen, nette Leute, offen für Fragen und Tipps zum Parken gibt's auch noch, fragt nach Alberto ;)
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The room is perfectly clean and somewhat well-equipped (except for the tiny TV). However, they have Inconvenient check-in and check-out policies. We arrived after 8pm and had to pay a 15 euro check in fee. Check out is at 10am which is way too early for being in vacation.
The room and the shared place is really clean and nice. But unfortunately, the room is located beside a main street which is too noisy and the bed is just shared the same wall with the sink of the kitchen. The toilet is also really loud, because water of toilet after flushing is floating for more than 10 min. I read the preview before I book, but didn't image how loud it could be. We couldn't sleep well during our 4 nights stay.
I still recommend this place to stay due to the clean. It may be fine for people who gets up really early during vacation, cause the kitchen will be used starting 8 AM but the street noise starts around 6 AM cannot be avoided. Maybe bring ear plugs will help you a bit.
Nice house in the center of Firenze, easy to park the car in the street, a good restaurant near the house. Warmly welcome and bif comfortable romm. Good advices to visit the town.
Our stay was very brief in Florence but our room was clean and as described in the website. For those with big suitcases the stairs might be an issue. Check out time was early (10am) but able to hold our suitcases if needed.
The holiday just spent in Florence was beautiful not only for the splendor of the city, but also for the quality of accommodation, hospitality and courtesy of the owners, thank you! The advice from all points of view :)
La vacanza appena trascorsa a Firenze è stata bellissima non solo per lo splendore della città, ma anche per la qualità dell'alloggio, l'accoglienza e la cortesia dei gestori, grazie! Lo consiglio sotto tutti i punti di vista :)
A great welcome and treatment. Quiet and pleasant, to be recommended.
Un accoglienza e trattamento ottimo. Posto tranquillo e piacevole, da consigliare.
Very nice people!
The room and the house were beautiful.
Only bed, no breakfast. Had to go to the nearest café to get breakfast. Not a big issue but you choose for a B&B to have a decent breakfast included.
Simple but good room. There is a smal kitchen you can use to prepare a meal. We could parc our bicycles in the small garden, very nice.
Locating not really in the center, but it took us by bike only 5 minutes to get there.

I hear rumblings that Mite Away II pads are no longer available.
Any truth to it? Why are they being pulled?
Jackson, MO
They are no longer being produced because the manufacturer needed the production line for their newest product, the Miteaway Quick Strip. It too is unavailable until approved for use by Canada and the US.
This has been discussed in other Threads.
Mark Berninghausen
Sorry to cause the redundancy. Did a simple search of this forum (which I assumed was the best spot) and came up empty.

the above link didn't work for me but here is another one
mike syracuse ny
Whatever you subsidize you get more of. Ronald Reagan
The Mite-Away II production line was stopped due to the anticipated change over and fielding of the Mite-Away Quick Strips.
As it was explained to me, for some reason, NOD did NOT get the anticipated EPA and/or USDA approval to market this product for bee keeping applications.
Now their is a shortage and no production line working to meet that shortage.
Perhaps someone else who has more information & knowledge on this issue can jump in and clear up any misinformation???
In any case Miller Bee Supply did have a limited amount of Mite-Away II last week and apparently still shows that they have some in stock. The bad news is that the price has gone up substantially since I bought my last container of Mite-Away II for $32 each. The current price is $39.95 and if you buy 10 or more containers, the price is $36.95 each.
This was the only place I could find that had any to sell. Perhaps some other folks can post links to other sellers who have it in stock???
If my info is good, and I think it is, the last pallet to be made went to Albion, ME. Not sure if he has any left.
Here's the status update on Mite Away Quick Strips, right "from the horse's mouth" so to speak!
California should have a Special Local Needs registration (for use in California only) by December (fingers crossed!)
You'll see a link to the status update on the home page:
Liz Corbett
Business Relations Manager
NOD Apiary Products
What will that do for California? We have debated do the same here in NY, but our state club doesn't see the benefit of an SLN if the product isn't available anyway. If we spend the money now for an SLN, we may have to spend the same again next year or when the product becomes available.
What about the shelf life? I would think that the shelf life may be as much a negative as the increased price.
Maybe Liz could speak to that also?

I contributed what I felt was relevant and posted a link to a source where I was able to purchase 10 containers of Mite-Away II.

I've got a few cases left from last year and I was planning on using them. They are still sealed in their factory cases.
Jackson, MO http://maxhoney.homestead.com
There is some confusion in this conversation, between MiteAway II and MAQS. Mite Away Quick Strips (MAQS) shelf life is one year (could be determined to be longer once extensive shelf life testing is completed).
Mite Away II shelf life is 3 years. So, the product purchased one year ago is perfectly fine to use next season.
In regards to the question about an SLN registration in New York for MAQS. What you say is very true. Why spend the time and effort on an SLN registration (state only) if the full federal Section 3 comes through in time for spring 2011 treatment? Several northern states SLN applications (including NY) are in holding pattern until late winter, when it will be better known if the Section 3 registration will be passed in time for spring. If it is not imminent, then we will go ahead with the SLN registrations.
California can use the product NOW. Thus the need for an immediate SLN registration.
Liz Corbett
NOD Apiary Products
Thanks Liz.That answers my questions.
I know a handful of bkprs from NY who are looking forward to the MAQS. The small number of commercial bkprs that I have talked to about MAQS and Mite Away II feel they are too expensive to be practical for their situations. Just an observation, not a critisism.
How many would one have to buy to get them at wholesale cost? Or, perhaps they are only available through a Distributor like Dadant or Mann Lake?
Mark Berninghausen
Yes, you will have to purchase MAQS through a distributor such as Mann Lake, Dadant, Betterbee, etc. We will only be selling through distributors.
Hi Liz
are you able to give me any imformation on when we would be able to obtain MAQS in the UK.
http://www.exmoorbeesandbeehives.co.uk/ Buckfast UK.
NOD has done testing on MAQS here in Ontario, in Saskatchewan, in France and in Germany.
MAQS works primarily on the heat generated from within the hive rather than the outside ambient daytime temperature. So, lowest treatment temp is 50 F., highest temp is 92 F.
It has less treatment variables than the Mite-Away II pad.
Liz, I would like to have some MAQS pads for next spring.
I am from Ontario, where to buy them? Thanks

Greg HounsellSpectator
@mudmanLocale: Western Canada
My wife and I will be hiking a short PCT section north from Campo to Warner Springs in late April but we are still debating our shelter choice. We will either be taking our MLD Cuben Grace Duo or the Trailstar but opting to bivy out under the stars a much as possible! This will be our first time in a desert environment and have concerns about shelter setup in the sand as well as space requirements (especially for the trailstar). Any suggestions as to which would be the best option for us?Mar 13, 2013 at 6:57 pm #1965307
Brian LewisMember
@brianleLocale: Pacific NW
I hiked the first/dry part of the PCT in 2008 with just a poncho tarp as both shelter and rain gear, leaving Campo in late April (right after the ADZPCTKO event). I brought a very light (water resistant, not water proof) bivy, but only crawled into it a couple of times; I wouldn't bring it again.
That said, I had essentially no rain in those first 700 miles. It's possible, of course, to get hard rain in there, so you do need to be able to manage. But it should be a relatively rare event I suspect.
I think there were a couple of nights in the first 700 miles where bugs were a little bothersome; I used the bivy for that, but could certainly get by for a night or two with just a head net.
As you said, I pretty much cowboy camped (no shelter) every night, with the poncho handy on evenings that looked even the least bit sketchy.
In any event, so long as you can deal with the possibility of hard rain and possibly even some snow, I'd err on the side of lighter weight and minimal required shelter/gear.Mar 13, 2013 at 9:42 pm #1965376

Chances are it will be sunny and hot at the end of April, but it can also rain or snow. The trail from Campo to Warner Springs goes up to about 6000 feet. It can also get really windy. San Diego is at the southern end of the storm track so they can usually predict about a week out if a storm may be coming. Storms usually pass through in a day or two once they get here. I would check the weather just before leaving and make the decision then between the Trailstar or Grace, but bring something.
The trail goes through high desert and low mountains, you're not going to be walking over sand dunes. There are some sandy areas but most of the terrain is pretty hard packed. Finding space to camp shouldn't be a problem.
Flying bugs aren't much of a problem down here. We do have some annoying little flys but they don't seem to bite. You may encounter ticks.

During our PCT thru last year we were hit by a storm 3 days in, just south of Mount Laguna. We were carrying a Cuben Supermid and full rain gear so were ok, but without a decent shelter or raingear it would have been a very unpleasant situation and we could easily have ended up hypothermic. Having said that, we only received rain for about 5 days in total on the whole trail.
I think the Trailstar would make a good choice of shelter. I know people also had success with the hexamid.Mar 14, 2013 at 5:37 am #1965442

IMHO a tarp bivy is the ideal combination for SoCal. It allows you to cowboy camp with the bivy which was great for wind protection. Your proposed plan (and Brian's) is identical to what I did. I was also lucky to have had no rain at all in the first 1000 miles so I never set up my tarp. Nothing better than rolling up the bivy and quilt, throwing it in your pack and hiking.Mar 14, 2013 at 7:36 am #1965475

I hate to sound like a crazy person but I wasn't planning to bring a full shelter for the desert section of the PCT until someone told me rattlesnakes come and curl up with you at night to stay warm! Has anyone else heard of that happening?Mar 14, 2013 at 2:30 pm #1965639

Rattlesnakes are not a big problem as long as you take your trail mongoose along on a leash.

I have been living and hiking in the lower desert (not far from the southern PCT)since 1977, and mostly sleep without a shelter. Never had a snake curl up next to me.Mar 14, 2013 at 5:36 pm #1965727

That's pretty sound advice.
By the way, and maybe you already know this, but it's been a really dry year here. It hasn't been raining much, and a lot of hikes I might not ordinarily do this time of year (due to snow) have been entirely passable.
Here, I'm out hiking with my daughter about 2 or 3 weeks ago above 6,000 feet in the San Gabriels. Just patches. More snow in shaded spots.
That's not normal for late February, not even for So. California.
Here's at about 7500'.
I was on a ridge with southern exposure. North facing slopes will have a lot more snow. North facing slopes:
Obviously these are not desert sections of the PCT, but it should give you some idea of what to expect in the high country en route to Warner Springs. I wouldn't expect much snow on anything south facing. North facing may be another story, but it has been a very low snow year.Mar 15, 2013 at 8:57 am #1965932

Had a ringtail jump on my chest when cowboy camping in the Grand Canyon, but never a snake. The other fear that people express is that scorpions will get them. Or just generally other creepy crawlies, and you're always seeing little lizards out there.
There are all certainly many things that a person can fear when laying out in the open at night if inclined that way. If you are so inclined, the things I suggest that you fear include freeways, various forms of age-related dementia, and arteriosclerosis.Mar 15, 2013 at 9:37 am #1965947

I never used a shelter when I camped in the western deserts 30 years ago. What the locals taught me was to layout poly/tarp/blanket then tie/prop-up the corners creating a bowl to sleep in. This will keep the snakes/scorpions/crawlies from snuggling up with you at night.

I am a Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator and have captured about 30 swarms in the past three years and have been "donating" them to a few beekeepers in my local area.
I kept bees for about two years back in high school (not very well I might add, as they died when I went off to college). My mom and I had no clue and did not really learn anything.
Doing a couple trap outs this past summer got me hooked again (one a tree near a hospital entrance, and one in a house). I have acquired enough equipment for 4 complete hives along with about 15 nuc boxes for getting swarms started. I have four cut outs and trap outs already scheduled for this spring so I probably don't have enough equipment!!! Oh well, I usually go overboard and jump into things at the deep end, so here's hoping I don't drown.
Also lined up two clover cattle pastures (about 180 acres) that the owner will let me put hives on.

Rye murder victims' family surprised to hear of Harry Mapps' capture
PUEBLO, Colo. - Mark Roderick received news Saturday night he worried he'd never hear: Harry Mapps had been captured.
"I'm just surprised he was found to be honest with you," Roderick said.
Mapps was arrested Saturday at a motel in Roland, Okla. U.S. Marshals found his van and then worked with Oklahoma law enforcement to arrest him. Mapps is accused of killing Kim and Reginald Tuttle and their daughter, Dawn Roderick, before setting their home on fire on Nov. 27.
"It just seemed like everybody was happy for the first time in over a month," said Roderick of his family learning about Mapps' capture.
Roderick said he doesn't think his family will ever heal but he said Mapps' arrest will help them start. "My kids are suffering. My kids are gonna have to live with this for the rest of their lives," he said.
Roderick plans on being in the courtroom every day of Mapps' trial with one question in mind. "I'm gonna ask him: Why'd you do this to my kids?"
Pueblo County District Attorney Jeff Chostner hasn't said if Mapps could face the death penalty. Roderick said he hopes Mapps does. "If I had to choose, I would say an eye for an eye. He needs to answer for what he did," Roderick said. "He needs to own up to it and live with it. If it cost him his life, it cost him his life."
Roderick said he hopes Mapps confesses to the crimes and spares the family from the heartbreaking details in court. Regardless, Roderick said he will sit through it.
"I want him to know he did not break me and he did not break my family," Roderick said. "We are a lot stronger than what he can ever imagine we are."
Mapps was wanted for three counts of first-degree murder, arson, theft, identity theft and forgery. He was also wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service for federal unlawful flight to avoid persecution.

Good friends deserve the gift of love too, be it self-love if they're single, or safe-love if they're out and about. If, for example, a particular friend is bemoaning the lack of lasciviousness in her life, then either THE NIGHT OFF or THE REBOUND pleasure sets could offer just the pick-me-up she needs. Or, if you have a single friend who often travels for business (and tends to have adventures along the way), a few ESSENTIALS Pocket Pleasure Sets for safer sex on-the-go would be a prudent choice. Of course, it's important to follow certain guidelines in order to avoid awkwardness, embarrassment, confusion… or a toxic cocktail of all three.Your friend may be a viable sexy-gift-recipient, IF –
- You regularly discuss your love lives (or lack thereof) in detail.
- Your gift could in no way be misconstrued as an advance by you (unless that's your intention).
- Your friendship is independent of any professional relationship (hello, sexual harassment).
- Your friend has an open mind...
- ...and a healthy sense of humor.

Posted: April 24, 2014 in ACE Press Releases
Research Commissioned by the American Council on Exercise Incorporates Ab Circle Pro, Ab Roller, Ab Lounge, Perfect Sit-Up, Ab Wheel and More
SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2014 – People spend millions of dollars annually on exercise machines and products that are promoted as quick-fix solutions to achieving washboard abs. The real question, however, is how do those products measure up to the traditional crunch?
In keeping with its role as America's Workout Watchdog, the American Council on Exercise (ACE) commissioned exclusive research from experts at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse to evaluate the effectiveness of the most popular equipment and exercises compared to the traditional crunch.
"We spent a considerable amount of money on abdominal exercise equipment to basically show that you can effectively train the abs at home for free," said Edward Stenger, M.S., who led the research team alongside John Porcari, Ph.D. "Everything else is arguably a waste of money from this standpoint."
The team incorporated popular equipment including the Ab Circle Pro, Ab Roller, Ab Lounge, Perfect Sit-Up, Ab Coaster, Ab Rocket, Ab Wheel and Ab Straps, as well as exercises including the yoga boat pose, stability ball crunch, decline bench curl-up, captain's chair crunch, bicycle crunch, side plank and front plank.
Electromyography (EMG) was used to identify a baseline of abdominal strength among all participants (eight males and eight females, ages 18-24). Electrodes placed on the upper and lower rectus abdominis (URA and LRA), external obliques (EO) and the rectus femoris (RF) measured subjects' maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) as they used each piece of equipment and performed each bodyweight exercise
The result was that none of the moves elicited greater muscle activation than the traditional crunch. The Ab Wheel, Ab Circle Pro, side plank and front plank all had significantly lower muscle activation in the URA compared to the traditional crunch. And for the LRA, the Ab Circle Pro, side plank and front plank also all had significantly lower muscle activation than the crunch.
"Obviously, lying on the ground doing the traditional crunch is not appropriate for everyone," Stenger said. "But for the average person who wants to work his or her abdominal muscles to get stronger, have less back pain and get better health benefits, all you need to do is get a comfortable spot on the floor, lie down and do some crunches."
Regardless of the results, ACE Chief Science Officer Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D., said, "It's important to keep in mind that there is no single abdominal exercise that challenges all the abdominal muscles in the safest and most effective way. For example, some exercises like the planks help to promote the development of core stability despite their relatively modest levels of muscle activation in the muscles examined in this study."

More over reaction by the authorities, same as in Alamo for a 1 1/2" gas line leak. I would bet with regard to the Bay Bridge it an empty box or box of white flower...
One thing you can be sure of it tells the bad guys how to shut the bay bridge system...

Green Lease Policies and Procedures
GSA promotes government-wide efforts to create green, sustainable buildings. To support this work, GSA issued the Realty Services Letter, RSL-2007-12, Green Lease Policies and Procedures for Lease Acquisition and RSL-2010-2, Energy Star® Requirement for Lease Acquisition, and LAC 2011-13, Sustainability update.
RSL-2007-12 outlines policy to implement energy and environmental leasing requirements. This policy incorporates modified and additional green language for all leases. The letter also provides accompanying policy in accordance with Executive Order 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and Transportation Management, and the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
RSL-2010-02 implements the Energy Star requirement of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) for Lease Acquisition. Section 435 of EISA mandates that no Federal agency enter into a leasing contract on or after December 19, 2010, for a building that has not earned the Energy Star label in the most recent year, unless the space requirement is in compliance with specific exceptions provided in the EISA statute. If a building will not have an Energy Star label in accordance with one of the exceptions in the EISA statute, the successful offeror must nevertheless renovate the space for all energy efficiency and conservation improvements that would be cost effective over the life of the lease.
LAC 2011-13 Strengthens requirements for green lease language in accordance with EO13514 and revises the Energy Star requirements to allow certain buildings ineligible for a current Energy Star because of occupancy issues to be considered as having the Energy Star label for lease award purposes.
LAC 2015-02 This Lease Acquisition Circular (LAC) issues lease policy implementing the PBS Key Sustainable Products (KSP) initiative announced by Commissioner Norm Dong in December 2014, in order to identify consistent PBS-wide environmental requirements for products that PBS, its lessors, and its contractors purchase most frequently.
While there is no separate "green lease" for special leases, there are additional requirements in the RLP and lease for lease construction and for customers seeking the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED-CI) certification.

Police identify suspects in Friday shooting near Columbia apartments
Officers say one person assaulted with tire iron near Stephens Lake Park
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Police have identified two suspects from last week's shooting off Old Highway 63 near Stephens Lake Park.
Investigators confirmed Monday Kimo Spivey and Tabisha Franklin were both involved in the disturbance just after 5 p.m. Friday. Neither of them are in custody.
Officers found five shell casings outside Lakewood Apartments at 206 N. Old Highway 63. They think Spivey and Franklin are part of an ongoing dispute.
Spivey allegedly fired at the two victims, a 45-year-old black man and 40-year-old black woman. Nobody was hit, but Franklin is also accused of assaulting the woman with a tire iron. She went to the hospital before police arrived.
Kimo Spivey is described as a 23-year-old black man, 5'11" and 225 lbs., and he is considered armed and dangerous.
Tabisha Franklin is a 32-year-old black woman, 5'4" and 192 lbs.
Detectives do not believe the attack is gang-related, but they are asking anyone with information to call the Columbia Police Department or Crime Stoppers at (573) 875-TIPS, to remain anonymous.

Set on the banks of California's largest freshwater lake, and surrounded by Northern California's lesser-known wine regions, the town of Lakeport has long been overshadowed by Tahoe to the east and Napa and Sonoma to the south.

<p>Playmate Heneriette Allais went to Paris a simple southern belle and returned a super model. </p>
Two years removed from her debut Playmate pictorial in Playboy, Henriette Allais, once just a down-home Southern belle, returned from Paris a supermodel with a stunning resume. In the following interview and pictorial, "Paris Match," which appeared in the April 1982 issue of the magazine, Playboy caught up with Miss March 1980:
Something has happened to our Georgia peach, Henriette Allais, since we first saw her. That was in March 1980, in the centerfold of our favorite magazine. As Miss March, she conjured up visions of Scarlett O'Hara: fiery, sensuous, with more than a hint of Dixie in her voice. But that was two years ago. When we saw her again recently, there were changes. The fire and sensuousness remained, but there was more strength, more self-assurance, more vision. The accent had taken on a definite foreign tone that gave a clue to her transformation. For the past year and a half, Henriette has worked, played and grown in Paris. She chucked everything for the modeling game and leaped in headfirst. Paris welcomed her with open arms. Before long, Henriette was one of the busiest models in the City of Light. That's no mean feat; the number of girls trying to make it there is legion. But if, like Henriette, you're chosen, there's nowhere to go but up.
"Paris is the best place to get a good portfolio together," she declares. "The competition is very stiff. About 60 percent of the models are American girls. The French photographers like them because they are big and tall. The reason I've been so successful is that they can't categorize my look. It's so changeable. I can go from totally sophisticated to totally sexy."
A girl who can convey sexiness with her body is gold in Paris, whether she's on the runway or featured in product ads, fashion or creative photography. For the French audience, inhibition is out and libido is in.
"I've seen some of the most beautiful and sensuous commercials ever on primetime television," Henriette says. "If you go for an audition, it's common to be asked if you mind showing your breasts." The Gallic penchant for the erotic is quite all right with Henriette. "I don't feel at all inhibited about being sexy," she says. "There are many good photographers in the U.S., but they are limited in what they can shoot. They get locked into formulas. And, after all, it's 1982. Woman have got to stop the cheesecake and start being more seductive."
What's the difference?
"It's mostly in the eyes," Henriette says. "For instance, I like to laugh, but not when I'm trying to seduce someone. To get the proper look, you have to use your eyes, actually talk with them."
Being a sought-after model can play havoc with one's private life, but Henriette has it under control. "When I left the South, I found that things were very different in the big cities, where people ask you how much money you have and what kind of car you drive. I don't care about that stuff. I could be a millionairess by now with all the offers I've gotten. People want you to go with them on their yachts or to be their mistress. I turn them down because I don't want to be held down. Even in my marriage, I don't like that. If my husband feels he has to get away, he goes, and the same for me. It took me a long time to get out of the trap of being in love with someone and thinking he had to be there all the time. You just can't own another person. It's not fair. It's not human."

I go by Big Bear or bigbearomaha online. I am starting an apiary in Omaha to focus on building healthy and plentiful bee populations in and around Nebraska and the Omaha/metro area.
Our apiary will work with all levels of beekeepers and try to help new and interested people to get involved at their own pace without a large buy in to get started.
I will be browsing the forums trying to glean as much information as possible to get your ideas on the best methods of managing bees.

My low budget Fett needs options. While I'd love to sink money into some of the excellent craftsmanship I've seen here, I just simply can't afford it. I've been trying to convince myself to raise my price limit to go for empireprops' suit on eBay. I've heard some good things about it and also some not so good things, but for me I'd prefer affordability rather than accuracy. At least for my first build.
So what are my options in terms of jump or flight suits I could buy? I've trawled the Bay for flightsuits but nothing comes close to the colour I need for a ROTJ set up. Can anyone show me links for anything under $100 that might suit my needs with a little modification (my sewing skills are abysmal so modifying the fit would be out but I'm sure with some time and effort I could stitch on pockets, do a dye job, etc)?


text: Ive noticed in photos that some beekeepers use jar feeders on top of mating nucs. Do they just cut a hole in the cover so the jar top fits snug ? I would think some rain can leak in. It looks like an easy way to feed until they are transfered into a hive.
