Don't Compare Bieber's "Problems" to Britney's Meltdown

After Justin Bieber was arrested in Miami for drag racing while drunk and high on prescription pills and pot, the pop star's misbehaviour is not funny anymore. There may be a tendency toward comparing Bieber's downward spiral to Britney Spears from a few years ago, but that would be a mistake. Yes, Britney lost her shit but Bieber's acting like an asshole. And there's a huge difference. Brit had real grown-up problems and real bad influences that led to her downward spiral. Bieber, well, broke up with Selena and turned 19, I guess.

Toiras breastplates displayed in the White Tower after 1882
Toiras breastplates displayed in the White Tower after 1882
|Object Provenance:
|Probably French, about 1625
During the French wars of religion the fortress city of saint Martin de Ré on the island of Ré off la Rochelle was besieged by protestant Huguenot forces in 1627. England sent a small expedition under the duke of Buckingham to assist the Huguenots by assaulting the fortified city.
The expedition failed in its objectives, but captured a French ship, the St Esprit, loaded with arms. These were brought back to London, and the 281 back and breastplates were placed in the Tower. They are very distinctive, with deep flanges at the waist in the style favoured in Antwerp for infantry cuirasses, designed to be worn without gorgets, and the backplates have exceptionally broad scales on their shoulder straps. Each piece is stamped 'Toiras' for the French governor of the island of Ré, Jean Caylar d'Anduze de Saint Bonnet, Marquis de Toiras.
Pikeman's pots were made for the cuirasses by a consortium of London armourers, but they were never issued and remained in the Tower during the English Civil War. A few were converted into harquebusiers' cuirasses during the Commonwealth, but as the cuirasses were not bullet proof they could not be used for this purpose without major structural alteration. In consequence they remained in the Tower, and have been used ever since as wall decoration.

If you can't find a good answer, "Just oil any place metal to metal contact is made while running." is a good rule of thumb. Plastic pieces should have grease instead of oil. As should all gears, metal or plastic.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
If you can't find a good answer, "Just oil any place metal to metal contact is made while running." is a good rule of thumb. Plastic pieces should have grease instead of oil. As should all gears, metal or plastic.
You can see the Wizard I have on page 2121, no cams though. My machine is from 1966. It runs right smoothly too, and I oil in all the holes on top and on the bobbin winder, and open the face door and oil anything that moves, and when you raise it up, anything that moves. My mom made most of our clothes with it, and I made my kids' clothes with it, and "took in sewing" as they say here, for many years. I have the manual somewhere in a box from a move about 20 years ago, but remembered what I needed for mine.
Today was my lucky day. I just scored a 201 for $20.00. It is clean and has been rewired and sews really great and very quite. The SN is Ak678341 made in 1951. I think it is a centennial. This is my first 201 and I will have fun playing with it. It will end up in a treadle or HC but will keep the motor because it is in very good shape.
Glenn W. Cleveland
Very Nice Glenn. I am looking for a good 201 as well. Nice find and a great price!
Our 201-2 is Heather's "go to" machine for any project too tough for the industrial
Glenn, You will love it! I use a 201 for a daily sewer. It is the best machine. I got it at a auction several years ago for $14. People really like their featherweights & 301's. I have both of them and like them fine, but after working on the 201 it is hard to go back to the 301 and featherweights.
Glenn, Nice! That looks like it is in great condition and you sure can't beat that price. Enjoy.
Glenn, that is a beauty. I keep thinking I 'need' a 201, but I've haven't seen one in years. My grandmother's machine that I made her dresses on when I was 12 was a twin to your machine, except it was in cabinet. Grandma was a serious hand quilter - she supported herself with her quilts. One year we went to Sioux City and bought her fabric for dresses. Returned the next Summer and there was the fabric and pattern still in the brown paper bag. So I stayed home from the reunion (the other side of the family) and made the dresses.

78 ia for the helmet...isnt it?
I think most guys using humbrol it's 78 for the base and 76 on top of the 78, for the armor that is. 78 is used for the dome and lower cheeks
and sometimes 78 is used for the gauntlets. Hope this helps and that whatever you do it works out well.

Not sure about the humbrol yellow, but if you can find yellow zinc chromite, think that's a testors color that should do it.

Thanks, but I think the armor colors are ROTJ on that.

I havn't looked rigt into the armour, but 78 is indeed the helmet green, so that is probably a good base to be misted with the 76. I would look at insignia yellow (154 i think) as the yellow base
Thanks. Should I wait until the 78 is dry before misting with the 76?
yeah i would give it about 4-6 hours depending on drying conditions, dont rush it, would be my advice

NHTSA — Seat Belts Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 and 2015 Honda Odyssey shows an early trend of transmission problems with clunking/jerking when shifting gears.
Most of these Odyssey transmissions are still under warranty, but so far Toyota generally hasn't been able to diagnose or fix the clunking problem — that's the reason for our low rating. Some owners have reported it was a stuck solenoid, & in a few cases Honda has replaced the entire transmission.
As more of these Odysseys start exceeding the 60,000-mile powertrain warranty limit, buyer beware.

From FedoraProject
The Trimslice is one of the most powerful ARM devices available.
Technical Specifications
- 1 GHz NVIDA Tegra 2 (dual-core ARM Cortex A9)
- HDMI 1080P capable
- Gigabit Ethernet (Realtek RTL8111DL)
- 802.11n Wireless connectivity
For more information on the Trimslice visit their website.
Running Fedora on a Trimslice
This page will give you detailed instructions for running Fedora 17 GA on your Trimslice. There are two images to choose from on the Trimslice, choose the appropriate image for your target media - SD card or SATA/USB drive.
Download the image
The first step is to download the Fedora 17 image. The prebuilt images include kernels and can be written directly to SD Card, USB, or SATA drive and booted without any additional steps or configuration. Both images require a minimum of 2GB and boot to a serial console.
Writing the Image
Linux Users
You can write the image to media of your choosing but it does have to meet the minimum size requirements noted above (2GB for the serial image, 4GB for the XFCE Desktop). Connect the media to your computer and make note of the drive. To write the image to your media run the following command, changing the drive to the location of your media.
For the SD Image:
xzcat Fedora-17-armhfp-trimslice-mmcblk0.img.xz> /dev/<location-of-your-media>
For the SATA/USB Image:
xzcat Fedora-17-armhfp-trimslice-sda.img.xz > /dev/<location-of-your-media>
Once completed run the below command to ensure the entire image is written to the device:
Windows Users
- You will need to download Win32 Image Writer as well as a tool to extract the image such as 7-Zip.
- Once downloaded and installed right click on the disk image and select "7-Zip->Extract files here"
- Launch Win 32 Disk Imager and select the extracted disk image and the device you would like to write the files to. Click "Write". Be very careful during this step - all data on the selected drive will be lost!
Using Fedora on the Trimslice
Connect the newly created media to your Trimslice and power on. No further steps are required and your system should boot to a serial console log in prompt. If you do not have a serial cable to connect your Trimslice, you can watch you DHCP server for the newly connected device. After a few minutes you should be able to see the host "fedora-arm'. Use SSH to connect to the root account.
ssh root@fedora-arm (or IP)
The default root password is "fedoraarm". This should be changed immediately.
Additional Support
There are Fedora ARM users all around the globe - if you need assistance, would like to provide feedback or contribute to Fedora ARM please visit us on the IRC - we can be found in #fedora-arm on Freenode. You can also contact us on the mailing list - email@example.com

I'm trying to adapt a bee tea recipe with the interest in providing feed to help bee health instead of just feeding sugar water to the bees in spring.
My recipe is:
In 1 gallon of water, add:
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
400 grams of Stinging Nettle
8 dandelion flowers
1 - 2 leaves of sage
1 tsp chamomile tea
Simmer the above at 160 degrees for 30 minutes then add 8 lbs of sugar.
Cool to room temperature then add 3 Tbs ProHealth (HBH)
Then I was thinking with all the heal effects of pekoe tea, to add a tea bag of pekoe tea (about 1 tsp) to the simmer mixture.

Well, Kathryn came to the girl's house and kicked the door in. Kathryn bested her in the Tradiional Forms by 1 point. They tied in weapons. When that happens, you both do the tradiional weapons form and then do your own freestyle form. Kathryn had a very solid performance. Then when it came time for her freestyle, she forgot it and winged it. Her smile to the judges was precious! Kathryn took 2nd in weapons
Then came sparring. Her first match drew a competitor that was 2 1/2 maybe 3 times her size. Look at the photos! Kathryn did not hesitate. Kathryn went at her and matched her point to point. At one point the girl was getting angry that this little kid did not roll over or run. Kathryn had a back fist that was within regulation but knocked the wind out of her. Kathryn took 3rd place in sparring.
As I write this, she has yet to compete in Extreme Martial Arts Forms and maybe combat sparring. Yes, one gutsy kid indeed.
And then I have my sights set on driving west as far as caffeine will carry me. We will most likely stay at a Walmart so we can keep the Pod connected and drive at first light.

RE: st: using different macros everytime

Thank you so much, Nick, for your helpful suggestions. And sincere apologies
to Maarten for misspelling his name.
Your solution makes good sense. With apologies, can I ask for a simple
clarification here? I didn't completely understand - forval - loop part of
the solution. I understand that we define local T which captures no. of sets
and then forval loops each one of them one after another but I am not sure
how I use my treatreg commands (say for instance I only wanted to run a
simple treatreg command).
I am sorry for asking this simple clarification but hope you can help.
Thank you again,

Subject: RE: st: using different macros everytime
For the latest "Martin" read "Maarten".
A further error in what you wrote was that you refer at various points
to macros xvar, zvar, xvars, zvars. Local or global macro xvars is quite
distinct from local or global xvar and indeed will not even exist
unless you've defined it in earlier code.
You may have noticed that by now.
On the major point, you can bind variable names into groups using double
quotes " ". This follows from the syntax that double quotes bind more
tightly than spaces separate.
Thus you could go
local xset `" "a b c" "d e f" "g h j" "'
local zset `" "A B C" "D E F" "G H J" "'
Note the use of compound double quotes in defining the whole. Then
local T : word count `xset'
forval t = 1/`T' {
[stuff referring to word `t' of `xset']
[stuff referring to word `t' of `zset']
I'm all for improving one's mastery of Stata technique, but sometimes
it's just quicker to crunch through the variations of commands using a
do file and a decent text editor -- especially if you may spend much
time later trying to work out what was that clever thing you did.
Incidentally, the approach here of replacing variables by their means
and then reinstating them is quite unnecessary and indeed I would
classify it as very bad style. Never touch originals you care about.
Rather -generate- new variables with the means concerned. Or, something
more like this:
gen work1 = .
gen work2 = .
within a loop {
su <something>, meanonly
replace work1 = r(mean)
su <otherthing>, meanonly
replace work2 = r(mean)

Thanks, Martin. Let me write down a few details about the analysis I am
trying to run. Please ignore if some of the details are irrelevant. I am
trying to run what they call 'standardisation' in literature. So here is
what I intend to do.
First loop:
1. run treatreg model: treatreg y1 x1 x2 x3 x4 x5, treat(y2=x1 x2 x3 x4
2. then set x1 x2 at their mean values (first generate copies of x1 x2,
x1_copy x2_copy, then summarize original x1 x2 and replace them with
mean values).
3.then predict yhat (so basically it uses coefficients from treatreg but
x2 are at their mean values and others at their actual values)
4. drop x1 x2 (which were set at their mean values) and then rename
and x2_copy as x1 x2 (so these variables are back as original)
Second loop:
4. Run the same as above but this time setting x2 x4 x5 at their mean
Going on further, I have a few more loops where the variables which are
to their mean values are different (no pattern of selection of
What I was thinking of doing was to define sets of macros, i.e. for
loop, define macro1 as variables to be set at their mean value and
macro2 as
variables to be left as original. For second loop, I do the same and it
on until I have run all the loops I wanted to run. What I needed help
is how to assign names to each macro and then I can run a foreach loop
that the macros are defined at the start and then treatreg and the rest
run as a loop several times.
Maarten buis
It is usually better practice to work with locals. Anyhow the answer to
your question depends on the kind of pattern you want those models to
follow. Do you want something like
x1 x2 x3
x1 x2 x4
x1 x2 x5
x1 x2 x3
x1 x2 x3 x4
x1 x2 x3 x4 x5
all combinations.
Moreover, do these variables have such systematic names, or do they
have more meaningful, but less systematic names?

I just captured my first two hive boxes today. It was really exciting to go out in the jungle and dig out the hive from the coral rocks that form the island. I took a generator out there with me and used my bee vac that I bought from Honey Bee Habitat, it worked perfectly and I was able to suck up about 20,000 bees to dump in my two boxes. There wasn't much honey in the hive, most of the comb cells were not capped. I'm thinking that since we don't really have any cold weather here that the bees are still foraging on the sunny days and not storing for winter. There's always something in bloom here in the tropics. I wrapped the two hives in transport nets and brought them home for the night due to the hour getting late. Tomorrow I will move them to the apiary and look for the Queen. Not a bad start I would think, huh?
As for the temperament of the Ferrell hive, they were actually quite calm. I had a helper working with me in a bee suit and the kid that was pointing out the hive wasn't wearing any protective gear at all. Actually the kid was sticking his head right down in to the mouth of the hive entrance and helping us all around and never got stung. Me? I wore my suit, hood and all at all times!

Miami-Dade County Public Schools
|District Demographics
|Enrollment Trend
|Number of Schools
|Population Type
|Greater metropolitan area
|Subsidized Meals
|English Learners
|Special Needs
Miami is often referred to as the capital of Latin America, and its huge school district has long welcomed immigrants from the Caribbean and points south. Of the district's 370,000 students, 58 percent have a Hispanic heritage. Students of Haitian background, whose home language is typically Creole, are a significant language minority. African American students make up 30 percent of the school population, and white students have dwindled to 10 percent.
It was a 1971 school desegregation order that first led Miami-Dade County Public Schools to institute school choice--in the form of magnet schools designed to compensate for the district's highly segregated housing patterns. Today, Miami-Dade offers a wide array of school choice options, designed to increase student diversity, diminish concentrations of low-income students, and improve student achievement.
Among the district's school choice options are 71 magnet programs, 31 charter schools, 16 controlled choice schools, two satellite schools hosted by large employers on their sites, and a "commuter" school for the convenience of parents who work in downtown Miami and drop their children off nearby. A new program, funded by a Voluntary Public School Choice program grant is the "I choose!" initiative. Plans are to create as many as eight "choice zones" in which schools will be modeled on successful magnet and charter schools--designed to reverse declining enrollment in designated areas. Currently, nine "I Choose!" schools are in the process of improving the appeal of their facilities, designing new school programs, and participating in professional development aligned with their program goals. Another option for parents comes from the state of Florida's "Opportunity Scholarships Program," which overlaps with NCLB accountability measures. The program allows children to transfer out of schools designated as failing, and it provides a voucher of about $4,000, which can be used at a private school. Florida also offers scholarships to its disabled students through the McKay program and tax credits for donations to private school choice programs. Currently 13,000 students in Florida participate in the tax-credit program.
Not surprisingly, the complexity of the district's school choice program calls for an administrative division for school choice. In addition, Miami-Dade has created a cross-district "schools of choice" advisory committee to promote greater understanding of the district's goals for magnets, analyze special program needs, make recommendations for program expansion, and encourage community engagement with the district's choice program. It is the role of the advisory committee, for example, to make recommendations for increasing the participation of Hispanic students in the district magnet schools.
Until 2001, the district was still under court order to address racial segregation in its schools. An extensive transportation program was part of the remedy. The district's new, voluntary desegregation plan has redefined diversity to better reflect Miami's changing demographics. Students' transportation options have also been redefined. Budget constraints have caused the district to reorganize into tighter transportation zones and to call on parents to take more responsibility for transporting children.
The Miami-Dade area also has a rapidly increasing number of independent charter schools. Currently the district's 31 charters enroll about 12,000 students. By 2006, 103 charter schools will enroll 56,000 students. These schools average 300 to 500 students, in comparison with the district average of 1,100. Until recently, a state cap on the number of schools within a district made it possible for Miami-Dade to negotiate with charter applicants, so that new schools would be located in areas where district schools were most crowded. Now, without a cap, charter applicants are competing more directly with the district.
Charter schools are attractive to parents, and the district is intent on reproducing the qualities that make charters so popular. In an informal survey of charter school parents, the district learned that parents left traditional schools in part because of the feeling of comfort and security offered by charter schools. the schools themselves were smaller, classes were smaller, the learning environment felt safe, and the schools selected were convenient.
As Miami-Dade continues to roll out its "I Choose!" program and to develop its other school choice options, it will be paying close attention to better serving constituents. District administrators believe that the Florida decision to encourage competition between charter schools and traditional schools is having its intended effect: to improve both types of schools. Parents, they say, are driving the interest in choice and accelerating the district's responsiveness to the needs of its students.

Governor Cuomo's office announced a streamlined M/WBE certification process between The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the New York State Department of Economic Development, Division of Minority and Women's Business Development (New York State). The announcement took place in February, at the 41st Annual Legislative Conference organized by the New York State Association of Black & Puerto Rican Legislators, Inc. in Albany, New York.
This effort was championed to make it easier for minority and women-owned businesses to obtain M/WBE certification and gain access to special vendor programs and regional contracting opportunities. Under the new agreement, first-time applicants can submit a fully completed M/WBE Certification Application to one of the agencies, along with the completed Addendum for the other agency. If the receiving agency certifies the applicant firm, it will -- as a courtesy -- forward the firm's application, certification letter, and addendum to the other agency for certification review.
For example, if Firm ABC would like to obtain M/WBE Certification with both New York State and the Port Authority, it will submit a completed New York State M/WBE Certification Application and a Port Authority Addendum to the State of New York. If the State of New York certifies Firm ABC, it will then forward a copy of its certification letter along with ABC's application and Port Authority Addendum to the Port Authority for certification review. Please note that the process works exactly the same way from the other end of the channel.
Both certifying agencies reserve the right to request additional information from Applicants to determine the business enterprise's eligibility for certification as M/WBEs.
"This is a big step forward," said Lash Green, Director of the Port Authority's Office of Business Diversity and Civil Rights. "A streamlined certification process between our agency and New York State encourages the participation of M/WBEs in the economic mainstream. We can now get qualified firms involved in a shorter timeframe, and across two certification strata rather than one. We're very proud to see this initiative move forward, and thankful for the commitment we've received from our partners at New York State."
An official Memorandum of Understanding between the Port Authority and New York State echoed Green's comments. The memo called the agency and New York State "mutually recognized partners" that both seek to "assist in the growth and development of businesses owned and controlled by women and minorities" as well as to expand "the pool of qualified M/WBEs."
Construction projects at facilities owned and/or operated by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, including our airports and terminal facilities, stimulate the regional economy. Our tenants are supportive business partners that share our commitment to increase opportunities for small, minority, and women-owned businesses in all contracting activities including construction.
Work done to alter a public facility or Port Authority leasehold must conform to the agency's Tenant Alteration Application Process. This process recently underwent revision to ensure consistent adherence to Port Authority policies and procedures including M/WBE requirements throughout our facilities. As of January 2012, the new process became known as the Tenant Construction and Alteration Process, or TCAP.
Apart from providing a means to manage new construction, TCAP:
Ultimately, TCAP serves as a vehicle to protect and enhance the experience of the end user so that everyone benefits.
Moving forward, the following important changes apply. M/WBE sub-contractors (and firms hoping to become certified as M/WBEs) should note that:
In other words, it's more important than ever for firms to become certified as Port Authority M/WBEs.

Have you ever wondered what criteria are required to qualify as a Port Authority-certified minority or woman-owned business?
Well, wonder no more. The Port Authority's Office of Business Diversity and Civil Rights has produced a six-minute video that outlines the process.
Did you know that:
Antonio Ramirez, President of D-Star Waterproofing, decided to become a Port Authority certified minority-owned business because of "the opportunities that were available."
In 2010, D-Star Waterproofing won a significant multi-million dollar contract to provide work on the WTC Transportation Hub project.
Says Mr. Ramirez, "It was a tough process, but it pays off in the end. I advise anybody that's considering [getting certified] to forge ahead . . .and do what you have to do to get there."
Founded in 1992, the Industrial Commercial Cleaning Group, Inc. (ICCG) provides full facility support maintenance. ICCG currently enjoys certification as an M/W/S/DBE.
"We found it particularly rewarding to certify with The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey," says Kim Jordan Epps of ICCG. "The certification process was difficult, but ultimately proved instrumental in our quest to diversify and build our client base. We now work with companies doing business with the Port Authority, New Jersey Transit, Philadelphia Housing Authority, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and other government agencies."
Ms. Epps called ICCG's M/WBE certification through the Port Authority "the turning point" for her business. In 2011, ICCG won a $1.4 million publicly advertised Newark Airport Terminal B Baggage Handling contract. ICCG also qualified to participate in the Port Authority's Janitorial Maintenance Small Business Enterprise Program, which provides Port Authority-certified janitorial firms the opportunity to compete with companies of similar size and capacity for nearly 20 cleaning contracts valued between $35,000 and $16.5 million a year.
Says Ms. Epps, "I recommend that all small businesses seeking growth begin the process of becoming certified."
Based in New York City, American Fire Control became a Port Authority certified MBE in March of 2011. Almost immediately, the firm won a publicly advertised fire protection and services contract for Tunnels, Bridges, and Terminal facilities valued at $109,000.
Says Londel Davis of American Fire Control, "Getting certified by the Port Authority opened doors to a breadth of opportunities. Without hesitation, I recommend that qualified firms contact OBDCR and get certified."

Economic uncertainty seemed to dominate 2011. Nonetheless, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey managed to reach several impressive milestones in its ongoing partnership with the M/W/S/DBE community. We're proud to note that:

Chemistry, Class: Gregory Campbell happy to see Shawn Thornton sticking aroundMonday, March 19th, 2012
Defensemen have defensive partners and forwards have linemates, but if there was such a term as "offensive partner," it would describe Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton's roles.
Thornton, who was given a two-year contract extension over the weekend, has certainly left his mark on Campbell's career, and Campbell knows it. The veteran center came to Boston as part of the Nathan Horton trade after playing the first six seasons of his career with the Panthers. He played on different lines in his time in Florida, but when he came to Boston, he established something with Thornton that has kept the two together from Day 1. He'd never been essentially tied to another player the way he is with Thornton, and he's proud to be one third of one of the best fourth lines in the NHL. To him, Thornton makes that possible.
"No. I mean, no," Campbell said when asked whether he had played with anyone in Florida as much as he's played with Thornton. "I played with Radek Dvorak I think maybe for two years, but not as constantly as almost on a shift-by-shift basis with Thorty.
"It's a role that I'm happy to play and he's happy to play, as part of the depth on this team. It's not too often that you throw out four lines, and obviously he's a big part of the fourth line, and his role is interchanging all the time. I think that that position, that '¦ combination in the league is not very common any more, where you have a guy that's obviously very physical and can fight, but that can play. That's why he's valued so much."
Likely due to the fact that his extension has yet to be announced by the team, the always-accessible Thornton was not available to the media. With Thornton not present to speak, it's no surprise Campbell was happy to share his delight with the news that the veteran enforcer will be sticking around for two more seasons.
"When your play against Thorty, it's evident to see that he's a hard-working guy, but once you're on his team, you realize how important he is to the team, not only on the ice but off the ice [with] the leadership that he brings and the professionalism that he has every day. He has a hard job," Campbell said. "I mean, there's not too many guys in the league that can do what he does physically and also contribute not he score sheet once in a while. He's a good player. I think he's a real big part of this team, and it obviously shows with them giving him [a new contract]."
The Merlot Line, as Thornton dubbed it based on its burgundy-colored practice jerseys, has consisted of Thornton, Campbell and someone else for the last two seasons. Brad Marchand started on the trio before moving on to bigger and better things with Patrice Bergeron, and Daniel Paille took over from there.
While many teams don't give significant minutes to fourth-liners, it was the Merlot Line that changed the momentum of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, as the trio of Campbell, Thornton and Paille turned in a big shift that broke up a much stronger start from the Canucks.
When Paille was hurt earlier this month against the Islanders, the B's had to play defenseman Mike Mottau with Campbell and Thornton. The chemistry developed between the two is so strong that almost anyone could play on that other wing and it will work.
"I think we take pride in our job and our role," Campbell said. "Sometimes it changes, depending on the game or whatever it may be. I think Thorty and I just have to be a reliable pair, whether there's injuries or whatnot, we've been fortunate enough to be in the lineup for this long, and not being injured or whatever. I think it's important for us to be that solid pair that can be relied up upon by the coaches and play different roles."
As the Bruins have slowly shortened their list of free-agents to be, Campbell has seen his teammates get their new deals one by one. Whether or not his comes next remains to be seen, but Campbell doesn't want to leave.
"Of course it's where I want to be," he said with a laugh as if to dismiss the notion of anything else. "This is a great place to play, a great organization and a successful one. Every player wants to play where they've had success and there's more success to come. The important thing now for us, it's really nice to see those guys get those extensions '¦ but the important thing is focusing on playing and not the other stuff."

Stadio Olimpico Details
Calcio (football) is not just a sport in Italy it's a way of life. Romans take their team's success or failure personally. In Rome, sounds of joy or agony will filter out from the coffee shops when one of the city's two teams is playing. The red and gold of the Roma team or the blue and white of Lazio will be displayed in many windows during the season as well. If one of the teams makes it to the championship, streets, doors, cars and bodies will also become festooned in the team's colors. But for a live game, the place to go is the Stadio Olimpico, called the Foro Italico dei Gladiatori.
Call 06/36-851 for information on games, but they are normally held on Sunday afternoons. The teams normally don't play during the summer, however. Tickets are available in a range of prices and seat quality and are usually available at the stadium for the two or three hours before the game starts. Public transportation is available to the stadium, but be sure to allow for plenty of time for the bus or metro and tram rides involved. Once you're in the stands, you will be surrounded by people making statements not just for their teams but on political issues as well. If you're not sure how to cheer, just yell out the word 'forza,' the Italian word for 'go'.
Address: Viale dello Stadio Olimpico, Roma, Italy

don't know if that link will work, but dayyyum that was a nice pic right there ^
That BrainPaint cracks me up.
You know those movie scenes when an impossibly suave Pierce Brosnan or Tom Cruise has 14.2986 seconds to break into the PC of the master genius criminal or the whole world will blow up? And immediately knows what the PW must be? And the audience goes 'yeah sure'?
Zach, thanks to you and your brother,
PS Nors, that's a pretty obscure spelling of cadaver. Latin, is it?
You never would have got in.
I'll second that. I don't think they sell those at the Cowboys Pro Shop.
Great pics, thanks Zack.
thanks, nice pictures
Great pictures! Probably the most clear and crisp I've seen from anywhere except professional photos.
What kind of digital camera does your brother have?
they sure are one of the best photos i have seen from TC
great pics.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks nice photos.
Visited Eagle TC over the weekend with a bunch of posters off the KFFL board.
TO looks good.
If the DC - Jim Johnson - drops dead for the Eagles, they are in bad shape.
They seem to be working on their zone blitzes a lot.
Their LB's may be suspect and their Dline may need help with QB pressure.
Still not sold on their DB's either.
But time will tell. They did get a lot of work last year with Taylor and Vincent hurt some of the time.
It's official. I've selected my favorite photo.
Nice photos!
Great pics, thank you Zack for posting them.

I am currently switching to all 10 frame Western (7 5/8"). Nice compromise between deep and medium.
The horizontal hive is at a height that is comfortable with a deep super. It also allows you to put things on the side your not working, like having a bench at the right height. So you don't have to bend down.
As with a deep super on both sides you could put the equivalent of 4 mediums (2 side by side). 6 medium supers (3 side by side) wouldn't be too much of an issue either.
I'm also going to try a couple of 5 frame Nucs on it as well.
Matthew Davey
Another good thing about horizontal hives - especially if they have a split roof - is that they have a convienient built in table to sit your tools on.
Oh, here is a pic of a few of my hives...
Transportable - with metal roofs to block the desert sun.
I took the advice given and I'm leaning towards horizontal hives, even went so far to email Michael Bush for advice. I do have questions on how they differ in frame placement and such, but I'm sure if I stick around here those will be answered too.
Something else not mentioned is that you can kneel beside a horizontal hive when you work your bees and the bees don't even hardly pay attention to you, compared to towering above them and scaring the daylights out of them. However, removing the frames is a bit more systematic than a normal lang. You can't just start pulling, you have to work your way from back to front, for the most part. Not a problem, but definitely different than a standard box.
Paul I noticed differences in the two you have in your picture, is it cosmetic or functional changes?
Well, the brown one was the original hive i first built years back; it started life as a top bar hive. The yellow one is what it morphed into after I built a whole bunch of them and fine tuned it a bit taking into account bee space and stuff like that. I eventually put a wire skunk guard on the front of the yellow hive. It also has a screened bottom board with removeable tray. My newer hives have taller legs, no guard, and simple wire screen floor vents. I use an 8 frame imrie shim for winter feeding, or just throw an 8 frame super on them, and seal the back half with a follower board. I ditched the screened bottom in favor of splitting the hive up when the season is done.
The legs also fold up on the brown hive so it is not so tall when it is moved. Even though it was not built with bee space being a factor, I have raised three different colonies in the brown hive and so far they have not burred it up like you think they would. Bees love that thing for some reason.
I was doing maintenance on them when I took this picture. That yellow hive - #7 is my most productive hive this season. It holds 44 frames and is filled just about all the way to the end with bees. I caught them trying to swarm last week and did a cut down split on them and harvested their honey to make room for the second flow in the desert.

Would it be possible for you to post more pics, or have you done it in another thread? Plywood bottom and plank siding or entire 3/4" plywood? Michael Bush suggested several migratory tops with a piece of cement back board for waterproofing. Notice you use tin.
Last edited by Sticky Bear; 06-10-2012 at 02:03 AM.
Sticky Bear, it's no different from making a standard Langstroth hive. The only difference is that the width of the base and the hive body is double (or triple) the width of a standard hive. Just like placing hive bodies side by side. So that the long sides are together. Use your existing equipment to make measurements. There's no internal walls, and the width of the two is the same as one frame. So the hive takes 21 frames.
The base and roofs are marine grade plywood, with marine grade varnish. The hive bodies are standard pine. My entrances are in the front of the roofs, but there are entrances on the base at the sides. (Instead of at the front on a standard hive.)
I don't use cement sheeting anymore, it's heavier and cracks too easy.
I'll post some more pictures when I get a chance.
Matthew Davey
Nothing special about mine, basically just a lang box that extends back instead of up. My outer cover/roof is in three pieces - each sized for a super and can double as a standard lang roof. Some of these I have added inner covers to, but going without has not been a huge issue. These roofs are also insulated with a layer of insulation sandwiched between plywood. The tin roof is just a piece of tin laying across the top as a heat and rain shield. It is the desert here, and solar radiation is a killer. I size them so there is a bit of wrap around to shade the sides and keep the heat off the box. It is so dry here, I don't bother with marine grade plywood. I use an 8 frame imrie shim for feeding candy in the Winter and a follower board.
I've had chronic back pain for years, but so far have avoided surgery. I'm currently making the switch to 8 frame mediums. I already ran mediums, so going 8 frame was't a big deal. So far, I love it. The boxes are easy to grab and I can split by the box(which has been my focus this year).
I will be 50 this year, and this change should help me avoid further back problems for a while. Maybe when I'm 70, I'll dump these 8 framers and make me some 5 framers.
Switching to all 10 frame 7-5/8" boxes for everything except my nuc/queen production yard as 90% of all beeks want deep nucs only!
So all my deeps are getting division boards in them to make them into 2 -5 frame nucs in each box. I do med nucs as well and have been trying to convince the backyard hobbyist newbies that going with all meds is a good thing, some bite and some don't!

I'm in Western Colorado and we average less than 10 % humidity and 7 " of rain a year. High mountain desert and solar is a big factor here too. Not knowing how severe my restrictions will be after my surgery I'm hesitant to continue with anything that requires bending or lifting. So I'm assuming you fill the entire box with frames and or use a devider board to keep them in a confined space until they need more. or I want to use an end for a split, correct? How thick of insulation in roof panel? We have to deal with cold during the winter and heat the rest of the year. Thanks for all the input guys, I'm on a crash course here with very little time and I don't want to lose my bees. I still need something to do after the surgery.

I live at 7000' feet in New Mexico - My conditions are probably very similar - but we get more rain, though it is dry as a bone. It gets darn cold here too, and we get dozens of mountain snowstorms in Winter, from October into March. It can get as low as -10 but normally does not stay that way for more than a week or so, then back up to 35-40. I cannot answer how my long hives overwinter in the mountains, as I keep them in the desert primarily. This will be my first year with them up here, but I don't expect any issues. It gets even colder in the desert, but it swings higher in the day. I use a piece of sheathing insulation cut to fit inside the outer cover. My standard langs have quilt boxes, though I don't think they really need them. I was going to make them for my horizontal hives, but went with insulated exterior sheathing, as it was easier and cheaper. I used both kinds - the mylar silver stuff and the pressed wool board. They eat the pressed wool. Not sure I like that.
I fill my boxes as full of frames as I can and add more when they move across the box. Sometimes I use a divider/follower, but mostly not (just in the cold). Just keep adding empty frames in the middle of the brood nest to get them to fill the box. Eventually they will draw honey storage and do the same with it - add empty frames and push the drawn capped honey to the rear. In no time the box will be JAMMED with bees. I think they do it faster than in standard langs. I can find the queen easier in them too. If you use deep frames, you have the equivalent of a 4 box deep lang and you can conceivably get more honey.

Here is a link to the photos of different aspects of my long hive:
These photos show the way the frames go and a side entrance:
If you are in the desert, don't paint it a dark color like I have. Also my roofs are designed to retain heat better which you don't want. For ventilation, If you have entrances on both ends open they can cool the hive quite well.,
Matthew Davey
You will need the equivalent of two deep hive bodies for your winter (I say that based on overwintering colonies in Cheyenne, WY at 6,000 ft). Your colonies might get by with three medium supers, and you could phase out the deeps in time -get help for the first year or two as you work the hives with deep supers. Join a bee club and trade someone for medium or shallow supers. Consider eight frame equipment. For overwintering in Alaska and Wyoming, I used standard Langstroth style equipment with a telescoping cover, with wind protection and one modification: A 3/4 inch hole above the hand hold on the top super for air ventilation.
Also, since you live in a desert, get ready to feed the bees until you have a handle on your honey flows, and how much honey stores your bees need over your winter.
I've seen a youtube video of Russian beekeepers putting just a few frames in a hive body and covering them with canvas and a pillow to restrict bee movement from the open space, but I would not recommend that with our wax moth and hive beetle populations.
My good wife had three disks fused 18 months ago and she is fine now, just can't bend over much. You are not going to be doing any manipulation of supers for at least nine months, probably a year or more....They are heavy, so you might just as well arrange for some help lifting for the foreseeable future.
Best Regards,
I had a visit by a beekeeper from Siberia this week. One of the things discussed was a hive design where the beekeeper opens the hive like a filing cabinet (meaning, no lifting). I think it was a discussion of hives mounted in a trailer for moving from field to field. I asked for some pictures, we'll see what we get. If I get anything, I'll share it with you.
That file cabinet system is common over there. So are the bee trucks. I believe they use them instead of bee yards.

Magnetic Banner
So do you remember when I said that all my spring mantel display needed was a banner and I has something awesome up my sleeve? It was one of those things that I wasn't sure would work but wanted to give it a try. Well, it worked and it is a.w.e.s.o.m.e!!!
Let me introduce my magnetic banner.
and because its magnetic I can make it say...
or any other word or phrase that's less then 8 characters. My son is going to love it when it says "birthday" for a week next month! And when June rolls around and I redo the mantel for summer, it will say "summer" or something like that.
I kept the design and color scheme simple so that it would be versatile. Blues and Greens will always work in my house!
So if you are wondering how I made it magnetic, here you go.
I started with chipboard pennants that I found at the craft store. I was originally planning on cutting my own our of 1/4" plywood but when I found these, all ready to go for around $3, it was a no brainer.
Then I painted the pennants with magnetic primer. I used the kind pictured above. I originally bought magnetic spray paint but couldn't get that stuff to work for the life of me. The magnetic primer is expensive. (around $20) so it is a bit of an investment. I only used a small amount though and promised myself that I would use it in other projects... which means you'll be seeing more of this stuff in the future!
Edit: I should note that the thicker you paint the primer, the more megnetic it will be. I did many thick coats..... probably around 6.
I let that dry overnight and painted it with a coat of white craft paint. I cut my scrapbook papers a little smaller then my pennants so that I would have a bit of a border, and modge podged that on. I added a little distressing ink to the edges of the pennants.
I just used my hole punch to re-make my holes and strung it up with white ribbon.
For the letters I just bought a pack of sparkly white scrapbook letters. Since they had a sticky back I put a thin coat of modge podge on the back and let that dry, then stuck my magnetic tape to the back. Something like this...
I love how the sparkly letters look.
And the textures and colors from the papers make me giddy.
So there you have it! A magnetic banner that can be used for all sorts of occasions!
As always I'm linking to these great parties and events:

What a great idea! I love that its totaly reusable and not geared to one specific season/holiday. Maybe you could have the back of the pennants be in fall/winter colors so you'd be able to use it year round.

Where I stayed
7/5/2010 – Destination San Diego, CA
I've heard some good reviews for the
San Diego Zoo so we decided that we would visit the zoo once we made
it to San Diego. When we arrived at the zoo we had to park in one of
the overflow parking lots because the main zoo parking lot was full.
Today is Monday and one would think it was a Saturday judging from
the amount of people at the zoo. While you could choose to walk to
whole zoo you could also choose to take a bus tour or you could take
the air-tram from one side of the zoo to the other as we did at the
end of the day. The zoo is very spacious and the animals appear to
be well taken care of. There were also several shows going on in
different locations throughout the day. We chose to attend the sea
lion show which also displayed some of the parks birds. We were at
the zoo for just over 7 hours and it took us all of that 7 hours to
see the whole zoo.

Mothers of Invention: Day One's Alchemy
What began as Tricia Compas-Markman's thesis at CalPoly has become a major, viable breakthrough in disaster relief. After a tsunami hit Japan and Katrina slammed the states in 2005, the then-civil engineering student began exploring methods for quicker and more-efficient means of delivering clean water to victims of disaster. She knew Proctor & Gamble had created a robust water-purifying system in a portable powder, yet gathering and transporting the water to those in need remained a challenge. "We didn't reinvent the wheel," Compas-Markman said of the Day One Response bag she created. "But we did make delivering clean water more efficient in a disaster situation."
Compas-Markman is modest. During the Toyota Mothers of Invention series at the Women in the World summit on Friday, she explained her deceptively simple device. The bag holds 10 liters of water, which can be scooped up from any river, stream or other body of water, no matter how dirty it is. Drop in a packet of the P&G purifying powder and shake the plastic bag for about 10 minutes, and you have potable and portable water.
"In school, as civil engineers, we're conditioned to believe we will go on to become consultants or work for governments," Compas-Markman explained. "And I was offered a job after school, but it was 2008, the economy crashed and the job was rescinded. So I decided to investigate the business applications for the Day One bag."
A trip to Haiti was also key in motivating Compas-Markman to scale the product. "I visited about a year after the 2010 earthquake and it was very eye-opening to see the conditions people were still living in," she explained. "Our translator said that after the quake, he had to walk nine miles for just one liter of water. It wasn't enough for himself, let alone his family."
Day One Relief is now working with NGOs, militaries and governments. "Just 20,000 units can affect 100,000 people," Compas-Markman said. And after visiting Haiti, she realizes she has the ability to save lives.

Rush superstar Lindsey Horan made her professional debut and scored her first goal over the weekend for Paris Saint-Germain as they cruised to a 5-0 win over Saint-Etienne.
PSG sits in 5th place in the 12 team French league after two games. They drew in their first game of the season against Guingamp.
18 year old Horan and PSG are back in action Sunday, September 30 when they take on Montpellier.
Click here for the PSG website story. Translated, it says:
The goals were scored by Kenza Dali, Laure Boulleau, Kheira Hamraoui, Lindsey Horan and Leila Maknoun. It was the first appearance of the attacking American Lindsey Horan in the colors of Paris.

Broken Bone are a totally different story. Soft tissue injuries without even taking a hit is a IM OUT OF FOOTBALL SHAPE Injury
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
I like Nicks as much as the next guy -- I think he is Well above average as far as #1 receivers go, but what good is he to this team if he can't stay healthy?? You mention runners, usually 9.9999999999 times out of 10 it is a Hammy they pull after running all out for god knows how many laps. Nicks was running Routes Not a Marathon.
Spin it any way you want, but Groin Muscle pulls are Nagging Injuries, and wont go away, they are a direct result from not being in Shape or better yet not working out and stretching that muscle the proper way.
I like you, your posts for the most part are spot on.
I don't B.S. I call it the way I see it and I don't talk about things I don't know about. Nicks IMOVHO Is a top 5 receiver in this league. (IF HE STAYS HEALTHY) and this injury is a direct result of Nicks being Laxed in the offseason.
A player can pull a groin muscle while in top shape. I'm not saying that being out of shape can't also cause a pulled groin, but its not the only possible reason. You are stating as fact something that is really just your opinion.

I liked the smell, and it did give some volune to my hair but I have frizzy, curls and dreadlocks. It seemed to do nothing for the frizz, and it made my hair look messy. Which isnt really a bad thing, but I have messy looking hair already. Might be better for flat, or straight hair. Also the bottle is glass, which I love.3
I love this spray! It is great for adding just a little bit of texture and has an amazing smell. I have very fine and barely wavy hair, and a year or so ago decided to stop fighting the humidity and just go for full wave. I have tried about 4 other beach wave type sprays, and each one was either sticky (which I hate more than anything) or smelled awful. Long story short- I am back to this one for good!4

Hi Georgie,
As a newbie here can I just say that so far I love this site.I enjoy "lurking" to see what others are saying but I have posted a couple of things too!
I posted an item on the 22nd Feb about my daughter's school gardening club & was hoping I'd hear from someone in Jamie's office or even Jamie about it.I realise you're all pretty busy people & might not be able to get back to me but I will be writing a letter tomorrow & sending it snail mail to Jamie.
Hopefully he'll be ble to help.

Playboy.com's Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Week Five
Week five and some sure-fire busts are starting to emerge, but as the bye weeks begin, we might be left banking on them to carry us through.
Always active and interested in the lives of you, our fine and flawless readers, this week Playboy.com premieres the newest addition to our sporting family, our "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" Fantasy Football guide. Each week, we'll sort through the rubble of waiver wires and underappreciated players to find sneaky good players to start (or in some cases sit) to help you win your fantasy week. Please keep in mind that we're not going after the big fish here; you should start Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Arian Foster all the times. These are the guys you might be on the fence about or find rotting on the wire. You can thank us later.
Start 'Em
Alex Smith: Last week the Bills gave up an astounding 247 rushing yards to the pass-happy Patriots. This week, with Frank Gore coming to town, they'll probably focus on stopping him, leaving San Fran's bolstered receiving corps alone in man coverage. Smith, never known as a fantasy stud, can get the ball to them when he has to, so this could be a sneaky good start as the bye weeks begin.
Jackie Battle: Battle wins the battle this week for player most searched and immediately claimed from free agency; after Ryan Mathews got benched for a fumble, Battle exploded for 19 fantasy points and is likely to be rewarded this week with a few more touches against a Saints team that has yet to prove it can even identify a running back, let alone stop one.
Malcolm Floyd: On draft day, the race for San Diego's wideouts was a confusing one at best; with Vincent Jackson in Tampa Bay, no clear number one stood out, but a good QB still stood under center. Robert Meachem looked like the best bet, but Malcolm Floyd has emerged as Rivers' preferred target. His performance over the last two weeks has been dismal, but he should return to the 70-90 yard range with a score against the Saints.
Kyle Rudolph: We're going to keep riding the Rudolph train in spite of a bad week. The Titans haven't figured out how to match up tight ends, giving up the most fantasy points to the position through four weeks, and Rudolph has become the preferred short yardage, red zone target for Christian Ponder.
Baltimore Ravens: Matt Cassel has yet to have a game with a goose egg in the interception column, and he's faced Atlanta, Buffalo, New Orleans and San Diego, average defenses at best. The Ravens should force at least a few wily throws and those should land somewhere they aren't supposed to.
See who we've got on the bench on Page 2…
Sit 'Em
Ryan Fitzpatrick: No quarterback has found the end zone through the air more than Fitzy; he's connected with his receivers 12 times in the past four games and currently ranks eighth in fantasy scoring at the position. So why are we sitting him? Well, he threw up four picks against the Pats last week (and three in Week One when all the Jets ball hawks were healthy); we expect that trend to continue against a 'Niners D that has left many fine QBs in the lurch through four games.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis: The Law Firm is a second-tier back on his best days, but going up against a Miami defense that has given up an NFL-best 56.8 yards per game, he's best suited for the bench in Week Five.
Chris Johnson: Chris Johnson fantasy owners, rejoice! CJ2K finally broke off a decent fantasy week four games into the season, but the comeback is far from complete. This week he faces the Vikings, who have only allowed 56, 63 and 28 yards on the ground to running backs in the last three weeks, and given Johnson's early season struggles you might want to wait at least another week before inserting him back into the starting lineup.
DeSean Jackson: With a bye week under their belt, Pittsburgh have had a chance to heal up, meaning Troy Polamalu and James Harrison are back. Even without them, the Steelers have only given up a modest 190.3 passing yards per game. With Jeremy Maclin out with a hip injury, Pittsburgh's D will zero in on Jackson, who hasn't been all that productive to begin with. If you've got options, use them.
Jermichael Finley: Good, seasoned offense meets bad, inexperienced defense. That's usually the recipe for a fantasy field day, but Finley owners beware (if you aren't already): the Colts have given up only one touchdown to opposing tight ends and currently rank second in fantasy points surrendered to the position. Add Finley's pending status as a bust (he ranks 18th at the position in scoring) and this might be a sit-worthy week.
San Diego Chargers: The Chargers D has always been feast or famine; last week they went off for 21 points in standard scoring but had amassed only 16 combined in the three games previous. The Saints (regardless of their terrible, terrible record) have never been kind to opposing Ds, so don't ride these guys as the hot hand.

SSD performance tips for Intel chipsets and RAID-0
Posted on 16th Oct 2009 at 20:02 by Richard Swinburne with 4 comments
- The Intel SATA ICH9R/10R/P55 controller under RAID-0 has a maximum real world performance capacity of about 600MB/s in total between it and the CPU.
Despite the fact you'll need several (four+) SSDs to hit this limit at the moment, it's worth bearing in mind that to get ludicrous performance you'll need at least a PCI-Express x8 card.
Until Intel increases its DMI and/or SATA controller bandwidth, this could prove a more regular limiting issue when future SATA 6Gbps parts arrive.


text: 03:53 PM CDT on Tuesday, July 27, 2004 By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News The Cowboys ended Chad Hutchinson's tenure with the team by waiving the quarterback Tuesday afternoon. The team informed Hutchinson's agent, Scott Boras, of its intentions last week, but were hoping to make a last-second trade. By waiving Hutchinson, the Cowboys will take a hit of roughly $900,000 against the salary cap this year and $1.5 million next year. If a team claims Hutchinson, then the team would take a $2.4 million hit. Hutchinson expressed anger late last week that the team waited so long to make a move that he felt was coming back in March. With training camps about to start, Hutchinson might have a difficult time finding a job. Sam Francisco and Chicago made inquiries to the Cowboys regarding Hutchinson. "I will persevere through this," Hutchinson said last week. "I will become the quarterback I can become. It's unfortunate it's not going to be for the Dallas Cowboys but for someone else. I will guarantee the Cowboys will regret doing this." His future in Dallas was sealed when the team traded for Drew Henson, who, like Hutchinson, gave up a professional baseball career, and signed veteran Vinny Testaverde. Hutchinson threw only two passes in the regular season last year after coach Bill Parcells chose Quincy Carter to be the Cowboys' starter. In nine starts in 2002, he threw for 1,555 yards with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions. He was also sacked 34 times. The Cowboys sent Hutchinson to NFL Europe this spring, where he played for the Rhein Fire and completed 126-of-207 passes for 1,356 yards. He had five touchdowns, four interceptions and was sacked 25 times. E-mail tarcher@**************

Cart is empty
Product Dimensions
We did this by working out the most we can fit into the unit, sometimes this will have cans lying down on some shelves, and cans on top of each other on others.
Tip - Everyone's perception of noise is different of course, but just think about the location you are placing a unit, and be practicable. Naturally a HIGH rated unit is no good if near bedroom etc.
This chart really help understand, a room with 30Db is a room with nothing going, Db scale is very strange to understand.
- Indoor
There are many variables that effect power consumption including ambient temperature, door open/close frequency, size of physical load in fridge, position of fridge, the set temperature, the climate and of course the efficiency of the fridges ability to get rid of hot air.
We base these ratings properly on normal operation in tough conditions, in most cases the units will run lower energy consumption than what we state.
*Glass door fridges do not have 'energy star ratings', as they are still classified under an 'outdated' Australian Standard as 'commercial' refrigeration. We expect this to change eventually so energy star ratings can be displayed, because since the renovation boom and alfresco area popularity the market has really embraced glass door refrigeration for domestic use now.
Many retailers and online sellers take the rating the factory tell them as gospel, in actual fact most of these are done is very easy going conditions, like in ambient of 20oC and with fridge set on 8oC, naturally this will use less energy than a unit tested in 38oC with setting on 2oC. It's dissappointing that this area of information isn't regulated properly yet with any standard, it makes the consumer choice harder to make.
We do all we can to make sure we comply to all relevant authorities and compliances with the products we place into the market. It's an important job, ensuring we have all these certificates and tests means the consumer is protected, guaranteed to get an item that has, 'at very least', been proven to meet certain standard criteria's. We take this aspect of the business very seriously.

Warranty Statement
All refrigerated compressor driven products
purchased from Bar Fridges Australia (BFA) are covered by our exclusive
*Products purchased OVER $500, 2 Years Australia Wide 'On Site' parts and labour warranty strictly from the invoice purchase date . *5 Years compressor warranty, strictly from the invoice purchase date, items with compressor only.
*Exception: Commercial use is 2 years parts and labour and 3 Years compressor (pubs, clubs, hospitality and restaurants etc.)
*Products purchased UNDER $500: 12 Months Australia Wide 'New Replacement' Warranty from the invoice purchase date will be replaced with new, depending on location and logistics.
*Exception: Scratch 'n' Dent and items on special (see below).
All 'Scratch N' Dent bargains and Sales / Specials' where stock is reduced in price have separate warranty terms which are stipulated on both the listing and the invoice, not related to warranty page on site. These units are deemed to be second hand and are discounted accordingly - their warranty periods are also reduced.
BFA will pay all costs to repair, replace (with similar or equivalent model) or refund ( at our sole discretion) for any faulty unit or part thereof should the fault be deemed as a defect in operation, material, or workmanship. BFA is geared towards fairness in all cases. In most instances when we recognise a problem and the problem can be remedied on-site, the work is undertaken via our fleet of service technicians. Should it prove difficult to diagnose the fault or perform the repair work in the space or environment provided, or if the unit is located outside the BFA service area then the unit will need to go off site for repair and return.
Warranty Does Not Include;
- Any expenses resulting from service calls for either products or faults that are not specifically covered by this warranty, (including units which are found to be operating normally). All call out fees will then be borne by the client (at our discretion).
- If diagnosis of unit is needed to ascertain if the compressor is at fault after the initial 2 Year warranty period, and it is found that the problem is not the compressor, then the client is liable for the call out fee and all costs involved as it then falls outside the 2 years part and labour warranty.
- Any expenses resulting from service calls for both fault diagnosis and repair after the above warranty terms have expired. BFA will always attempt to assist after warranty periods have expired with spare parts and service, just as we would within warranty periods. Glass door fridges are more prone to needing maintenance than domestic units do.
- Any client wishing to return a purchased unit with no legitimate reason. It is understood that the client has read our listing and knows all of the specifications in regards to size, noise levels, condensation, power consumption and the correct environment suited for the fridge . The cost to return is fully borne by the client as well as the initial cost of the delivery, plus a re-stocking fee of 10%. This strictly applies for a 14 day period from the date of the delivery.
- Any expenses resulting from defects to the unit caused by any
person, other than BFA or its authorized service agents,
a) Incorrect installation – such as a lack of ventilation, exposure to the elements where it's not part of the refrigerator specification, sunlight in particular .
b) Abuse, misuse or alteration.
c) Failure to let compressor oil and/or refrigerant settle after relocation.
d) Damage during movement by the client from one location to another including lifting the unit by the doors or door handles.
e) Act of god or his son, or aliens invading earth.
f) Insect and/or vermin infestation.
g) Electrical/Power surges and/or storm damage.
h) Damage to any area or structure due to movement of the fridge, like wooden floors, walls and glass etc.
i) Faults due to client re programming or setting controllers wrong.
j) Blocked condensers due to not being cleaned, it is up to customer to ensure condensers are cleaned periodically, see www.cleanme.eu for relevant info on the type of units that need this.
- Any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, spoilt wine or frozen/exploded drinks, water damage including condensation forming on outer glass etc., except as provided for by ACL, Australian Consumer Law.
- Units used in 'moveable' vehicles (Cars, Vans, Buses etc.) will not be covered under any warranty at all.

There is no guaranteed time limit for repairs to be carried out due to the nature of refrigeration products and the technician time booking constraints, you must allow 7-14 days as a fair down time, refrigeration mechanics these days are very busy and jobs have to be booked in advance. Sometimes units will need to be arranged for return and repair, which can be time consuming. In saying all this, all warranty issues are regarded as 'urgent', and every effort will be made to have the problem rectified immediately.
In some cases to speed the process up where a job is
considered a minor repair, the parts may be sent direct to the client and
authorization will be given to make the repair themselves with the warranty not
being voided. This is popular in situations like fan replacements, which are
easy to swap, when the client is an actual tradesman or handy with a
Proof of Purchase:
We have made proof of purchase not a mandatory thing, but of course it will help. When purchased we internally register the model and your details so to find details we need either email address or phone number that you lodged at the time.
Authorised Service Agents:
Service is provided by BFA and its' authorized service network of refrigeration mechanics Australia Wide. We attempt to cover all areas though certain remote areas can often translate to longer waiting periods. We don't allow for services outside of normal working hours, otherwise call out fees are applicable. ALL call outs have to be arranged and performed by approved BFA service technicians. Clients cannot arrange their own technicians without voiding the warranty.
Replacement Parts / Items Out Of Warranty:
Parts will always be available at very reasonable prices after the warranty period is finished, unless a stock item becomes obsolete. In 99% of cases we carry parts of all previous and current items as it is very important to BFA to keep clients happy after the warranty period has expired. The following link allows you to lodge a claim/parts request, so add as much info as you can and we will assist.
