To speed up clothes drying and prevent lint build-up, install a smooth metal dryer vent. These step-by-step directions walk you through the tough parts. Rigid metal vents are safer than flexible plastic and metal types, which catch more lint, require more cleaning and can retard airflow. Even worse, flexible ducts are easily crushed, which blocks airflow and causes the dryer to overheat, which in turn can lead to lint fires. In this story, we'll show you how to cut and install 4-in. rigid metal duct, including the toughest part—drilling the exit hole through an exterior wall.
Dryer on basement floor, with duct running up block wall and out rim joist. Minimum 12 in. above ground.
Dryer on slab on grade with duct going straight out back or up and out. Minimum 12 in. above ground.
Dryer in an interior room with duct angling up through attic to roof.
Whether you're installing a new vent or upgrading an existing one, the first step is to determine where the duct will run. This can be a bit of a challenge. Keep in mind these rules of thumb. The shorter the distance and fewer the turns the better.
Use no more than 25 ft. of 4-in. duct, and subtract 5 ft. for every 90-degree turn and 2.5 feet for every 45-degree turn. For example, a dryer with a 90-degree elbow at the exhaust port and another at the top of the basement wall can run a maximum of 15 ft. Dryer manufacturers' recommendations supersede this, so if you have to make a longer run, read the owner's manual. If possible, position your dryer along an exterior wall to keep the vent as short as possible.
Figures A, B and C show the three most common paths from the dryer to the exterior. Vent a dryer through the roof only as a last resort. Cleaning lint buildup from roof vents is difficult, and nesting birds and squirrels often find roof vent caps irresistible. Check with your appliance dealer or local building inspector for recommendations about the best roof vent cap to use.
Avoid windows (Photo 1) and outdoor obstructions like the electrical service entry. The bottom of the vent must be at least 12 in. above the ground and 12 in. away from any obstructions such as decks or air conditioners.
Select the most direct route for the vent with the fewest possible turns. Measure the length of the run, note the bends, then buy the duct required.
If everything looks good outside, go back inside, mark the vent location, and plan the duct route (Photo 1). Buy enough straight duct and fittings to complete the job, including an outdoor cap. Use either galvanized steel (our choice) or aluminum duct, but don't mix parts.
Mark the center of the rim joist and drill a test hole with a 1/4-in. bit. Locate the hole outside and check for obstructions.
Shift the hole so the top of the vent cap rests on the high point of the lap siding. Pull the vent cap and duct apart to make measuring easier.
Bore a 4-1/4 in. hole with a hole saw. Hold the drill level and steady. Pull the drill back frequently to clear the sawdust and let the drill motor cool.
Stop and pry out siding and sheathing from the saw as you go. Then continue your cut through the rim joist.
Insert the vent and screw the cap to the house (predrill screw holes). Push foam backer rod into deep gaps, then caulk all around with acrylic caulk.
Drill a pilot hole so you can see exactly where the vent will go outside (Photo 2). If the hole is a little low or the cap doesn't sit in the best position on the siding, it's not too late to adjust it (Photo 3). If it's really wrong, you can easily fill the hole and start over at a different location. If you're cutting through a finished wall, open up a small section and check for wiring, ductwork and other hazards before drilling.
Boring a 4-1/4 in. diameter hole can be tricky. Take your time. A bimetal hole saw is easiest to use, because it'll chew through an occasional nail without dulling and cut cleanly through vinyl or aluminum siding. Hold your drill firmly with two hands (Photo 4) and brace it against your leg if possible. Don't lock the trigger on. If the drill tilts to one side, it may bind and jerk. Pull out the saw frequently to keep it cooler and reduce binding, and then go back into the hole. Standard hole saws are 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 in. deep, so you'll have to stop and push out the layers of siding and sheathing, or chisel out part of the framing, before you cut completely through (Photo 5).
After the hole is finished, slide the vent cap through, square it against the siding, and attach it and caulk it (Photo 6). Screw the cap down evenly—if one corner is tighter than the others, the vent flapper won't seal. Vent caps with a single flap and a large hood (Photo 6) work the best, but if you want a lower profile, you can use a cap that has several narrower flaps. But clean it more often; the flaps trap more lint.
There are two good ways to install a vent through vinyl siding. The first is to install a vinyl surface mounting block (shown here) that fits over the existing siding. You may need to scribe and trim the edges to precisely fit your siding profile. Fasten the surface mounting block to the house with screws, but remember to drill slightly oversize holes through the vinyl to allow for siding movement.
The second method is to remove a section of siding and install a special vinyl mounting block (not shown) against the sheathing. Cut the siding to fit around it. Both are available from vinyl siding dealers.
Getting through stucco and brick requires different techniques and tools than for wood and vinyl. You'll need a masonry bit with a hammer drill for your pilot hole. Then trace a 4-1/2 in. circle and drill a series of closely spaced holes around the circumference with the 1/4-in. masonry bit and hammer drill. Break out the masonry with a cold chisel. Snip the wire mesh back if you're chipping out stucco. Then drill through the wood sheathing and framing with a 4-1/4 in. hole saw.
Cut the straight sections to length with a tin snips before you snap the seams together. Wear leather gloves—the cut metal edges are sharp.
Align the seam edges of the duct. Then, working from one end, push the edges down slightly as you force them together.
Start at the dryer and insert the crimped end of the first elbow into the first straight section. Tape the joints with metal foil tape.
Slide the first fitting onto the dryer and push the dryer against the wall. Measure, cut and assemble the other duct sections.
Slide the last elbow onto the straight section coming up the wall, then push the crimped end of the elbow into the duct cap section. Tape it.
Anchor the duct to walls or ceilings every 6 to 8 ft. with a pipe strap. Loop the strap around the duct; don't screw the strap to it.
Go back inside and caulk around the duct on the inside of the rim joist. You can use the plastic trim ring (included with the vent cap) for a neater appearance.
Now you're ready to run the duct from the dryer to the vent cap. Push the lower elbow onto the dryer and the upper elbow onto the vent cap, and then measure the distance between the two, including the overlap at each end. Cut, assemble and tape the straight pieces (Photos 7 – 9).
Straight duct is available in various lengths up to 5 ft. Be sure to cut the pieces to length with tin snips before snapping the seam together (Photo 8). Elbows can be twisted to form any angle, and with two or three of them you can generally snake your way around any obstacle.
Begin assembly from either end. You can always shift the dryer slightly if you cut the final section a little short or long. However, orientation is critical when joining sections end to end. The crimped end always slides into the fitting above so that the exhaust flows smoothly from one section to the next.
Push the final elbow into the straight piece that's connected to the cap. (We had to extend our cap; see Photo 11.) Because the pieces will be at a slight angle to each other, you may need to fuss with them to make the crimped end slide in properly.
Don't rely on tape to hold the duct sections together—over time the adhesive will dry out and lose its stickiness. This is especially true of standard cloth or plastic duct tape. Metal foil tape is more expensive, but it will last longer. Still, any vent run longer than a few feet will require more permanent support. Strap it to the wall or ceiling framing with plastic or metal pipe strap to keep it rigid and hold it together for the long run (Photo 12).
Finally, plug the dryer in, turn it on and check outside to make sure the vent flap is opening.
A note on cleaning: Lint buildup reduces dryer efficiency, which means clothes take longer to dry. Check the vent cap frequently and brush out lint. At least once a year, snake a vacuum hose into the duct to clean it. Tapping on the duct while you do this will help knock off lint that's stuck to the sides and joints. To avoid fires, vacuum lint from around dryer drums, burners and motors at the bottom of the cabinet.
Our appliance expert, Costas Stavrou, gets lots of service calls for dryers that take too long to dry a load of clothes. He always starts his diagnosis by checking for a clogged vent hood. If it's a flapper style, the lint builds up on the critter guard screen under the flap. On the louver style, lint builds up on the inside edge of the flaps. And, once airflow falls off, the lint settles in the dryer vent pipe. The restricted airflow dramatically increases drying time.
Costas cleans the screens and louvers and then the vent pipe. But he recommends replacing a flapper- or louver-style vent with a hood that doesn't capture lint (one choice is the HEARTLAND Dryer Vent Closure, available through our affiliation with Amazon.com or at home centers). Here's how to replace your existing vent hood with that style.
Start by disconnecting the dryer vent from the vent hood stub pipe. Then go outside and remove any siding trim pieces from around the vent hood. Next, remove the vent hood retaining screws and pull the vent hood and stub pipe out of the wall. Disconnect the hood from the stub pipe and toss the hood. Insert the old stub pipe into the new vent hood base and seal the connection with caulk. Then install the new vent hood base (Photo 1). Lay a bead of outdoor caulk around the perimeter of the base flange. Slide the stub pipe through the hole in the wall until the base is flush with the house. Level and secure the base flange loosely with screws. Slide the diverter onto the base and secure to the house with screws. Then tighten the base screws and secure the trim.
Wear leather gloves when cutting ducts. The metal is sharp, and even brushing your hand lightly against an edge can produce a surprisingly large cut.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.

Vancouver B.C. Opens its First LEED® Registered Store
On March 10, 2011, we opened Vancouver's first LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registered store. Located at the corner of West Hastings and Howe streets, this beautiful store exemplifies our approach to store design and commitment for all new stores globally to be LEED® certified.
Our Canadian store development and design teams have been busy renovating stores to link them more closely to the communities they serve. As stores are built and renovated, the teams look to source materials and employ craftspeople on a local basis, incorporating reused and recycled elements where possible.
The West Hastings and Howe Store reflects this vision. The wood tabletop for the window seating was made by a local vendor from a reclaimed glue-laminate beam that came out of an old school in Port Alberni. And the wood paneling on the walls was provided by a local vendor using reclaimed B.C. hemlock and fir re-sawn from salvaged beams.
If you've had the opportunity to visit the new LEED® store on West Hastings and Howe, let us know what you think of it.

Does Starbucks also have an initiative to reuse recyclable materials? What about the construction of new Starbucks, does the company make more attempt to renovate old buildings or do they construct new ones? What points are taken into consideration when choosing how to "link" the store to the community? How does a store become LEED certified?
- pondshopping
I really enjoyed going into the new Starbucks in Renton, Wa. near my mothers home. After my walk in the morning I have been going there to get my slim coffee and have watched the progress over the last couple of weeks. It's very refreshing and beautiful. It would be really nice to have a couple of "Sky lights" to brighten it up a bit tho. At least the music has been turned down which is really nice now. I look forwards to our own LEED Starbucks in our areas in the future.

The use of recycled and repurposed materials is so innovative in the new and remodeled stores that I've had the opportunity to visit. The stores are regaining a sense of individuality and retaining the common comfortable theme that I look for when finding a place to relax.
Stores like the one on the top of Queen Anne hill in Seattle, with it's rustic and appearance can still speed out a morning cup, even though they look more like a hang out spot than ever before. Great design and execution

Perry Fewell's 3rd and wrong defense.... love it.
Spin that Webb young Davis
The Giants were horrible on any 3rd down situation on defense. Perfect example was the Ravens game, it could be 3rd and 20 and the Ravens would convert it.
This was a glaring issue all season long, and something Perry Fewell and staff have to fix.
Last edited by primetime; 02-08-2013 at 02:17 PM.
It may not be too bad compared to the league in like 3rd and 8-10 yd situations, but on 3rd and like 10 or more, we hadbto be among the worst. I cannot recall a team ever giving up as many 3rd and like 25s that we gave up. We were a finger tip away from losing a game on a last play and 40 yds for a gw td lol...over n over, coverage would get blown or a player would take horrendous angles/terrible jump ball coverage...
And what's even sadder, prince like didn't concede any of em...those plays kept on happening on...well u know
Yup I looked it up a couple months ago and was going to write a post about it but forgot.....great point.....they were the third worst in the league at 3rd downs in general.....no specific stat for 3rd and longs.....but the Skins were the worst yet won the division so cue the naysayers about the significance of this stat. 42% is atrocious though/
IIRC first game of the season and Miles Austin converts a 3&19 for a TD. It was a re-occurring theme all year.
Hasn't this been a recurring theme since Coughlin got here?
thanks for that stat! is that for 3rd downs in general or 3rd n +20
woopsjust readyour intro... disregard my question

It was only a week ago that members of Occupy Providence huddled in a pedestrian tunnel on a rainy afternoon and voted 36 to 11 to leave Burnside Park, if and when the city opens a daytime shelter for the homeless.
But it had been clear, for some time, that the movement was in a transitional moment.
The park, itself, had become a drag on Occupy: the weather was turning frigid; Occupyers were getting ill; and the press seemed more interested in the never-ending permitting battle with the city than in the economic issues at the heart of the protest.
But there were larger forces at work, too. The Occupy movement, writ large, was shifting to a new phase: there were no more tents in Zuccotti Park in New York, no more tents in Dewey Square in Boston. The Internet was abuzz with talk of what comes next.
But if change seemed inevitable, it would be fraught.
As the assembled joined in a unity chant that evening after a long, emotionally charged debate — "Who are we? Who are we? Occupy PVD!" — a series of difficult questions loomed: Would the city accede to its demands? Could the movement survive without occupation?
And for Occupyers here and across the country, this central query: could a small band of protesters who had changed the national conversation in a matter of months — "We are the 99%" — actually change the nation?
It is a couple of weeks before the vote and Occupyer Jared Paul, 33, is sipping from a hot chocolate at Small Point Café on Westminster Street, a few blocks from Burnside.
A performance artist and writer, Paul is a veteran of radical protest and he looks the part: bushy beard and mustache, piercing blue eyes.
He attended the University of Rhode Island as an undergraduate, he tells me, and immersed himself in a disturbing study of the prison system and military-industrial complex.
"I didn't have a nervous breakdown," he says. "I had a nervous awakening."
Paul has heard all the standard critiques of Occupy — it's unfocused, it's ineffective, it's moving too slowly to articulate a political program — and he has little regard for any of them.
Occupy's concerns are pretty clear, he says: economic inequality and global corporatism. And the movement's explosive growth, the loss of the parks notwithstanding, is hardly a sign of stagnation.
"We're not behind schedule," he says. "We're not dragging our feet. We're a goddamn phenomenon is what we are."
Implicit, here, is a demand for patience in sketching out a Phase II. And it is not unreasonable. Occupy is a new movement. And those who think it will fade over the winter underestimate the commitment and creativity of its core actors.
But after talking with a number of Occupyers in recent weeks, it seems clear to me that time, alone, will not yield a reinvention. The activists have not settled on a new direction, in large part, because they are content with their current one.

Whether we are open or closed, the seasons march on...
I speak for everyone when I say 'it's great to be back!' We are working hard at getting back on schedule. The birds are here in full force, the waterfowl hunting season has opened, birders and photograhpers are here as well. Water levels are being checked and adjustments made. The L-line construction project will start up again. And at the Wildlife Education Center we are the getting back to business as usual.
It was an interesting 16 days during the Government Shutdown. Everyone but our Project Leader Bob and LEO Greg were sent home. Lucky for us Zone Officer Lisa was able to stay on the job as well. Together they spent countless hours at the Refuge gates upholding the shutdown status.
During the closure the waterfowl migrated into the Refuge in large numbers. It was a 'duck-nado' said one officer. The arrival of waterfowl signaled the departure of other birds. Shorebirds, egrets, and pelicans are all moving to warmer climates. The swallows are gone, but the American pipits are arriving and whether we are open or closed, the seasons march on.
In the past week since we re-opened, visitor's are reporting Rough-legged hawks, Tundra Swans by the hundreds, and the diving ducks are starting to arrive as well. Plus, double-crested cormorants and great blue herons are gathering in flocks. Its a good time of year to see the Mule deer that frequent the Refuge as well. Come on out and see the Refuge for yourself.

I have a purchased, and one homemade queen castle. Their weight has me thinking that rigid insulation could be used to advantage. I would still use individual wooden inner cover pieces (possibly thinner than 3/4" boards) with Masonite or luan dividers. I picture the "box" and outer cover being made from the insulation.
A slatted, wooden bottom would improve the durability of the assembly, if it can be attached securely.
I would consider building a modified version of the "Coates Nucs" as well...
Does anyone have experience constructing assemblies with rigid insulation?
What is the most effective adhesive to use?

Thursday's Daily Wrangle: Orson Wells, 2001 and Salvador Dali
- Nathan_Mattise
- posted in General, Wrangle Post ⋅ 1:59 pm
If you need some inspiration, three quick bits of info to search for today:
1. Any clips of Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind (with a friendly reminder, we do not endorse piracy here).
2. Wired contributing editor Patrick DiJusto e-mailed in about missing footage in 2001: A Space Odyssey. He mentioned there are scenes of a space-impacted daycare during the a moonbase walkthrough. Can anyone find a reliable source with a description?
3. The Screenplays in Purgatory group keeps coming up with great titles to potentially find, we've got a tip on another one. Received an e-mail from Chris Baker about a Salvador Dali script written for the Marx Brothers, can anyone get reliable confirmation?


text: When I bought my truck a couple years ago I was getting about 19 mpg now over the course of 1 year I have dropped to 14mpg After having a new replacement airfilter (planning to get a K&N soon, Nitrogen in the tires (replaced with air filled now), & a single flowmaster 44 series muffler turned down at the axle. I thought the poor mpgs was from the tires but I found a new set & still getting the same mpg, So I'm thinking my exhaust choice was not the best. What suggestions should I do now? Lose the turndown & run the pipe out the back? Get a different muffler? I've been thinking about getting the truck tuned but I don't know anything about it. I do know some performance shops out of town but would like some heads up info before I go talking to them. I don't really want to buy a programmer because I probably wouldn't know how to use it. Thanks also on a side note anyone know how to fix the tpm on the tires after you have moved them arround? I don't really want to take it to the dealership if all they have to do is pump the gas 3 times lol.

Plenty of colonies will develop heavy pest and pathogen loads, that will affect the local environment, before survivor colonies are obtained.
They're taking a risk, with everyone's 'environment', to reach their goal.

Candidates take aim at government in campaign ads
MISSOULA, Mont. - Montana voters are looking over a crowed race for the U.S. House, where one candidate is raking in most of the money.
Republican Ryan Zinke is out-fundraising the other candidates. Now they're trying to make up for what they don't have in cash, with strong political ads.
Republican Matt Rosendale released a new ad this week that's gaining national attention.
He uses a gun to shoot down a drone in the commercial. But he's not the only one to take aim -- literally -- at federal policy.
In 2010, now-U.S. Senator for West Virginia Joe Manchin took out his gun for a campaign ad. The Conservative Democrat fired at the Cap and Trade Bill.
In 2012, Republican Ron Gould ran for the U.S. House District 4 in Arizona. He fired at a draft of the Affordable Care Act. The same year, an ad supporting Libertarian Dan Cox, who was running for Montana's Senate seat, showed a man firing at a security camera. That ad was to make a point about legislation that would allow the government to conduct surveillance on federal land.
This year Matt Rosendale isn't the only one with a gun.
Republican Will Brooke, running for U.S. House District 6 in Alabama, took out his handgun and rifle to shoot at the Affordable Care Act. But his ad, titled 'Let's Do Some Damage,' doesn't stop with a gun. Brooke puts the bill through a wood chipper too.
Critics of ads like these say the candidate are taking it too far, some even calling them childish. Supporters say they're just making a strong point, using the gun, to get the point across.
For some a strong campaign ad is what it will take to get any point across.
On the Republican side for the U.S. House race, Ryan Zinke raised $907,000 and has $423,000 in the bank.
Rosendale is the next closest fund-raiser. He reports total receipts of $641,000 with $221,000 left to spend. $500,000 is his personal money.
Corey Stapleton's pulled in $373,000.
Drew Turiano has raised just $6,800.
As for Democrats, John Lewis reports raising almost $695,000 with over a half million left to spend.
Other candidates including Democrat John Driscoll, Libertarian Mike Fellows, as well as Shawn Paul White Wolf filed to run but have no current fund-raising reports on the federal election commission webpage.

i wouldn't be against a rebuild if it was done properly but i doubt we would ever do that. the knicks always go for the quick fix or try to make the big signing. at this point i just hope to get out of the first round and put up a fight in the 2nd round. i appreciate and enjoy the knicks at least being a competitive team. obviously we've lost a few in a row and looked bad doing so, but at least we're not a terrible team that you expect to lose every game. i try to look at the positive side of things. instead of thinking "we're not good enough to win a championship" i look at it as at least we're a competitive team and have a star player to root for.

A good preventive maintenance program is more than just a regular lube-oil change-filter (LOF) replacement. At least twice a year trucks should get specialized maintenance; summerizing in the spring and winterizing in the fall are when the extras should be done.
Here are some tips to get you through the harshest weather:
Replace lube oil and change filter. Choose the right viscosity oil for the climate. For most of the United States, and for general operations, 15W-40 oils for diesels are fine. If you are in the northern tier of states or Canada, you might want to try 10W-30. It will stand up to the rigors of a modern diesel and offer occasional warm-weather performance almost as well as 15W-40.
For engines left out in below-zero temperatures, fully synthetic 5W-40 oil will flow easily on startup better than any mineral-based oil. It also gives year-round protection better than any mineral oil.
For warmer weather, some fleets go back to 15W-40, but just as automobiles now use thinner oils like 5W-20, diesel engines can get by with 10W-40 CJ4 oils. Beyond oil selection, preparation for summer should involve the same maintenance as winterizing.
Oil drain is the cornerstone of a good preventive maintenance program, but there's far more to it. Some trucks, especially older and heavier ones, need chassis greasing between LOF intervals.
Check/change coolant. When winterizing and summerizing, check and, if needed, change antifreeze coolant. Modern glycol coolants are mixed with water, generally in a 50/50 ratio. For extreme cold, increase glycol to no more than 60%.
Water is an outstanding cooling medium, but it has major drawbacks. Tap water contains minerals that form scale that insulate, causing uneven cooling. Buy premixed coolant or mix with deionized water.
Water is also prone to cavitation on cylinder liners — that's the process that forms bubbles. When the bubbles collapse, the implosions will, over time, punch holes in medium- and heavy-duty engines' cylinder liners. Special supplemental coolant additives coat and protect liners. Organic-acid technology long-life coolants generally do not need these additives. They are good for five years; longer if fortified with boosters and not diluted with ordinary coolants.
Evans Waterless Coolants avoid water problems. They have a much lower freezing point and a higher boiling point. Without water, there is neither cavitation nor resultant liner pitting.
Pressure-test your radiator cap and cooling system. With water-mixed coolants, check the radiator cap for proper pressure. Each pound increase raises water-mixed coolant's boiling point by 3° F. A 50/50 mix boils at 223° F. With a 15-psi radiator cap, it stays liquid to 268° F, continuing to provide cooling.
If you need a new cap, have it pressure-tested, too. There are far too many counterfeit parts, and radiator caps and thermostats are among the most popular knock-offs.
Test your thermostat by boiling a pot of water and use a cooking thermometer to check that it opens when it should. Check your fan clutch for proper operation. Heavy-duty fans consume 55 hp or more, so you want yours off as much as possible.
Check batteries and the charging system. Check belt tensioners and fan belts. Tensioners can drag and glaze belts, reducing alternator rpm. Many a battery has been replaced when it only needed a good charge, and many an alternator has been replaced when it only needed to be driven at full speed.
Batteries can be drained by short circuits caused by damaged wire. Snow and ice control chemicals are the archenemy of truck electrical systems, so be sure all wire is protected, especially at connections. Use shrink-tube over splices and paint open connections with vinyl "liquid electrical tape."
Clean your HVAC system. You'll need heat and air conditioning to dehumidify air for defrosters. Clean any debris from cab heat exchangers and make sure the HVAC system is working well. Clean all the truck's heat exchangers: radiator, oil cooler, and air conditioner condenser.
Keep air brakes dry. In winter, eliminate moisture from air brake lines and tanks so it doesn't freeze. Ice can block air lines and crack brake valves. Change desiccant cartridges in compressed air systems.
It's these special seasonal tasks that set winterizing (and summerizing) apart from ordinary preventive maintenance. They take extra time, but the time is minimal compared to downtime for repairs, and the cost is insignificant compared to the cost of a road service call and the loss of productivity from crew and vehicle.

text: Since my first choice is out of stock, I ordered Goodyear wrangler duratrac tires. Questions are: How well do they do in mud? On road performance? What type of mileage do u get from these? My truck will be in the mud as much as it will be on pavement, main reason I bought a 4x4, also I plan on storm chasing this year, so I'm hoping I made a decent buy. Tires should be here Wednesday

LTG William Pelham Yarborough
May 12, 1912
King County
Washington, USA
Dec. 6, 2005
Southern Pines
Moore County
North Carolina, USA
US Army officer, he is considered the Father of the Army's Special Forces (also known as the Green Berets). The son of Army Colonel Leroy W. and Addessia Yarborough, he attended high school at San Raphael Military Academy in California, and graduated from the US Military Academy at West Point in 1936. His initial assignment was with the 57th Infantry Regiment (Philippine Scouts) at Fort McKinley, Luzon, and in 1940, he was transferred to the 29th Infantry Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia. In late 1940, he joined the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, taking command of Company C. He helped to design the paratroopers' boot, the paratrooper's uniform, and most importantly (his most lasting influence) the parachutist's badge. Promoted to Major in 1942 and selected by General Mark Clark to be his airborne advisor, he planned the airborne phase of the North African invasion, and joined in the airborne assault on Youks les Bains Airfield near Tebessa, Algeria. In March 1943, he was promoted to Commander of the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and participated in the Sicily invasion. He later made the parachute assault into southern France, and in 1945, was promoted to Colonel, to command the 473rd Regimental Combat Team. At the end of World War II, Yarborough was promoted to Brigadier General, and named as Provost Marshal for US Forces in Austria. He had a number of assignments in the postwar years, and in 1961 to 1965, he was Commandant of the US Army's Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg, NC, where he oversaw the buildup of the Army's Special Forces. He established courses such as foreign language instruction, the Unconventional Warfare Course, and the Counter Terrorism Course. In 1961, he arranged for President John F. Kennedy to visit the school, and requested that the Green Beret be authorized as the official headgear for the Special Forces, a request that President Kennedy soon granted. Following his assignment at the JFK Center, General Yarborough was assigned to the UN Military Armistice Commission at Panmunjom, Korea, and in the final years of his military career, he was assigned as Chief of Intelligence at the Pentagon. He frequently prepared study papers for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and directed a study of Southeast Asia after the end of the Vietnam Conflict. General Yarborough's numerous awards include Honorary Member of the British SAS Regiment, the Distinguished Service Medal, the Silver Star Medal, the Legion of Merit (4 awards), the Italian Cross of Valor, the French Croix de Guerre with Palm, and parachutist badges from Cambodia, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and South Vietnam. General Yarborough also wrote two books, "Bail Out Over North Africa," and "So You Want a Volunteer Army?" (Bio by John Michael)

63% of bloggers turn down a sponsored post opportunity if it's not relevant
During Social Media Week 2015, we hosted our BE A Better Blogger event, where we invited 250 bloggers to come down and we'd give them some handy tips on how to get noticed by agencies and brands. If you missed it, you can read a recap of our 10 tips to be a better blogger.
While we had a room full of bloggers, we thought we'd get their opinions on a couple of things. So we got them to fill out a survey for us, and we've summarised the results;
Reading other people's blogs is very common amongst bloggers. Only 3% of those we asked said they didn't read any other blogs. If you're a blogger it's important to stay up-to-date on what everyone else is doing, making sure you keep up with current trends. By reading other blogs, you're also more likely to get inspiration and ideas, something that many bloggers complain about not having enough of.
95% of the bloggers we surveyed said they blog part-time or for a hobby. Yet they are still treated the same way as journalists – being invited to day-time events or being expected to reply to personal emails during work hours. This is a key point for agencies and brands. Make sure you're not expecting bloggers to reply instantly during the day, and keep your phone close by in the evening, just in case the bloggers you're working with want to quickly drop you a line.
Only 7% of bloggers said they think that they "shouldn't be paid" for product-related content, with the majority saying they'd like to, or should be, paid. Although it seemed like the majority of those we surveyed wanted to make money – or at least get some freebies – from their blog, very few bloggers actually proactively approached brands. If brands want to work with bloggers, they could make it a lot easier for bloggers to contact them.
When we asked, bloggers revealed that the most common reason they turn down a paid or product-related opportunity is because it isn't relevant to their blog. This is a key lesson for agencies, if you're approaching a brand, make sure you check that the opportunity is relevant to the blog you're approaching.

Outer Banks Real Estate Market 2008 vs 2009 Sales DataFriday, April 24th, 2009
There were major differences in Outer Banks buyer preferences and sales stats from 08 to 09. Take a look at these bullet points to see what market shifts we've experienced. These are current April 24, 2009.
- Total number of unit sales is down 27% in 2009 so far
- Oceanfront Single Family Sales are down 32% in 2009
- Single Family Sales are only down 13% in 2009
- Condo Sales are down a staggering 55% in 2009
- The Main Beaches, S Nags Head to Corolla (paved road only) produced 58% of Single Family sales under $500k in 2008 but produced 63% of the same in 2009 so far
- In 2009, single family sales under $500,000 rose 2.5%
- Single Family Sales over $500,000 dropped 44% in 2009
Buyers were reflecting a strong preference for single family homes in the core markets in 2009 and the aversion to higher rates on Jumbo Loans (+417,000). Higher downpayment requirements of 2009 (20%) also influenced buyers to choose less expensive homes. More sales were geared to relocation and second home buyers choosing the less expensive and non-rental markets of the west side locations.
Clearly, the market has shifted to less extravegant purchases, in more mainstream locations and away from condos, co-ops and mobile homes. Our high standard of living and high quality of life continued to draw new residents and retirees to the Outer Banks. The investors with shallow pockets have gone, however, those who love the Outer Banks and its lifestyle are still coming.

What is your guys input on superchargering a v6 silverado?
put a turbo on it , better gains in the hp department and easier. you can get a turbo from a import car pretty cheap and "maybe" get it all hooked up and tuned for less than 1K.
the gmc typhoons and syclones of 1992-1993 were turbo 4.3's and look at how fast they were!

Craig Levein has finally paid the price for Scotland's poor start to their World Cup qualifying campaign after being "relieved of his duties" as national team manager.
The Scottish Football Association board delivered their verdict on his near-three-year tenure this evening after protracted deliberations.
Scotland Under-21 coach Billy Stark will take temporary charge of the team with his first task to name a squad for next Wednesday's friendly in Luxembourg.
A statement read: "The Scottish FA tonight announces that Craig Levein has been relieved of his duties as Scotland national coach.
"The board of the Scottish FA has taken the decision primarily due to the disappointing results in the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 Qualifiers, which have culminated in Scotland being bottom of the group after four matches."
The SFA stressed they would "honour Craig's contract" after Levein pleaded with chief executive Stewart Regan and president Campbell Ogilvie to be allowed to stay on until the end of the World Cup campaign.
In a statement, Regan said: "We are taking this decision with real sadness.
"Craig has worked hard to bring success, and has been thoroughly professional in his approach to the job.
"He has achieved a great deal with the team and in other areas, such as the performance strategy. However, he would be the first to agree that football is a results-driven business.
"For that reason we have relieved Craig of his duties with immediate effect.
"Billy Stark will take interim charge of the team for the friendly against Luxembourg. There will be a short delay in announcing that squad, which Billy will select, and we have informed the Luxembourg FA of this development.
"After the Luxembourg match, the board will meet to begin the process of identifying and recruiting the next national coach to take us forward. We will give ourselves time, given our fixture schedule, to find the right person for the job.
"The challenge for the squad now is to improve our position in Group A and, subsequently, improve our position in the FIFA rankings.
"We also must begin preparations for the UEFA European Championships in France in 2016, which for the first time will have 24 qualification places available."

After Hurricane Sandy's flood waters have receded and homes demolished by the storm repaired, the unseen aftershocks of the storm may linger for many children who were in the storm's path, particularly those whose families suffered significant losses.
"The lasting emotional impact of a storm like this can be more devastating than the physical damage the storm caused," says psychologist Esther Deblinger, PhD, the co-director of the Child Abuse Research, Education and Service (CARES) Institute at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-School of Osteopathic Medicine. "Stress, anxiety and depression can affect anyone who experiences a natural disaster that results in the sudden loss of home or relocation to unfamiliar surroundings. The effect can be especially troubling on children and adolescents who don't have the same ability as adults to anticipate and cope with trauma."
According to Dr. Deblinger, some children who experienced Hurricane Sandy's destruction will exhibit symptoms -- such as withdrawal, depression, sleeplessness and unusually aggressive behavior -- that are commonly associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Without help, there is a risk that these symptoms could last a lifetime.
Dr. Deblinger suggests that parents and caregivers help children cope with the stress and anxiety resulting from Hurricane Sandy by:
• Returning to normal routines, if possible, and engaging in rituals such as bedtime stories and family meals that that are comforting for children.
• Minimizing the viewing of television coverage about the storm as the news can provoke anxiety in young people.
• Encouraging optimism about managing the aftermath of the storm and preparing for the future.
• Remembering that, because they are their children's most important role models, it is important for parents and caregivers to take care of themselves and engage in healthy coping strategies.
• Reaching out for professional help if the trauma stress symptoms exhibited by their children do not subside over time on their own.
"While most children are resilient and will bounce back from the experience, others are going to need help to recover and feel safe again," Dr. Deblinger says. "In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we saw that the children who were most vulnerable to developing anxiety, and even PTSD or depression, had either experienced other significant trauma or emotional difficulties in their past, or had parents who were having difficulty coping with the effects of the storm."
Dr. Deblinger says her recommendation that parents and guardians seek professional help for children whose symptoms do not subside is especially important. "Decades of research have shown that some children, particularly those who have experienced multiple trauma(s), don't eventually 'get over' or 'outgrow' their experiences," she notes. "Left to recover on their own, some children and adolescents may turn to alcohol, drugs and/or other ineffective ways of coping with the distressing feelings and debilitating symptoms associated with PTSD."
In 2005, Dr. Deblinger made several trips to the Gulf region to help children recover from the effects of Hurricane Katrina and to train other therapists in the use of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a treatment model that she developed with Drs. Judith Cohen and Anthony Mannarino. TF-CBT has been used worldwide to help children overcome stress disorders caused by a variety of traumas, including the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in 2011.

Re: st: Terminating a loop when a certain value is reached.
Mon, 1 Apr 2013 10:03:15 -0400
Apologies for the lack of detail. I forgot to add the `i' but it
still isn't working (it's running, it just isn't doing what I want it
to, which is terminate the loop at a certain point). Below is the
relevant portion of my code. As you can see, I have a large number so
that it just keeps running indefinitely (which is why I want to be
able to make a break point trigger). Once a "birth" is created a
series of mirror observations is created for the offspring, and its
generationnum value is one greater than its parent. What I'm trying to
do is run this until generationnum equals a certain number (decided at
the beginning of the ado file), but I don't see why the continue,
break code at the end performs this function.
forvalues i = 1/999999999999999999999999 {
if births[`i'] == 1 {
expand 2, gen(newvar`i')
egen Xnewvar= rowtotal (newvar*)
drop if Xnewvar>1
drop if Xnewvar== 0 & generationnum!= 1
drop Xnewvar
replace generationnum=generationnum[`i']+1 if newvar`i'==1
if generationnum==2 {
continue, break
Thanks again,

Dr. Manuelidis studies neurodegenerative diseases, with an emphasis on infectious human Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and sheep scrapie, and has developed unique animal and culture models. These models have revealed fundamental routes of infection, innate immune responses to a foreign infectious agent, and structural characteristics of the infectious particle. Infectious particles can be stripped of detectable prion protein (PrP) yet remain highly infectious. Host PrP misfolding is a late stress response to trap and eliminate these infectious agents. Deep proteomic sequencing has also uncovered new neurodegenerative pathways for therapy and prevention.

One of the most useful ways to multiply the effectiveness of any marketing message is to get large numbers of people to recommend it to their friends and colleagues.
Here are two simple keys to doing this:
Key One: Make your marketing message entertaining
A Belgian television station launched a brand new TV channel and wanted to get a lot of people noticing what they were doing.
So they shot a hugely entertaining two minute video called Push to add more drama to your life.
This video has now been watched by over 42 Million People because it is so entertaining and fun to watch.
Key Two: Make your marketing message valuable
By valuable, I mean your marketing message has important information that will help a lot of people to do one of two things.
It will help them to solve a pressing problem they have or allow them to reach an important goal faster and easier.
Here are four examples of valuable marketing messages like this.
The useful Blog:
Richard Koch is the author of a wonderful book called 'The 80-20 Principle' which has now sold over a million copies. Richard started a brand new website recently and on his website are some short blog posts that I found incredibly valuable.
My favourite blog posts are 'What is an hour of your time worth' and 'find your horse to ride'.
Because these messages by Richard have been so useful to me I have shared these with many of the people I know.
The valuable newsletter:
A couple of days ago I was emailed a copy of an outstanding newsletter on direct marketing written by Alan Rosenspan.
The newsletter was 16 pages of valuable ideas on how to improve the response in your marketing.
Alan shared step by step case studies and helpful ways on how to use the ideas in these case studies in your own marketing.
(I had never heard of Alan and was sent his newsletter by a marketing colleague in the States who thought I would find it useful.)
And because it is so valuable I am now recommending it to a lot of other people.
The helpful video:
Brendon Burchard is a world recognised authority at showing people how to become an expert.
Brendon produced a 45 minute video recently which explains how simple it is to package up your own knowledge and experiences and turn it into a valuable business.
In his video Brendon gives step by step instructions on how to promote your business online and also shares a fascinating case study of how Barack Obama used email marketing in his presidential campaign.
What I love about Brendon is that his messages are always very positive and jam packed with useful 'how to' ideas that are easy to apply.
The practical marketing brooklet:
In my own business, I wrote a short 28 page booklet recently called The Little Blue Book of Marketing Magic.
This booklet contains a short summary of 18 marketing strategies that are used by many of the top sales and marketing experts in the world.
The booklet is available at no charge as a download on my website and is very easy to read.
A number of business people have found this booklet valuable and recommended it to the people they know.
Here is an example of someone recommending this booklet on my behalf.
The main idea in my column is this:
With a bit of creative thinking and effort you can make many of your own marketing messages either entertaining or valuable.
And by doing this you can multiply their effectiveness. This makes it very easy for a lot of people to start recommending your marketing messages to many of the people they know.
"Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising."
- Mark Twain

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Kick it to the big man, Nov 11, 2012.
Be careful what you wish for. We don't want to screw up the #1 pick.
When we do get first pick, because we definitely, headed up that path, we ain't gone do nothing but waste it....by then ,hopefully a lot has changed! See you soon 0-8.......
This is clearly an example of the coach refusing to win. Looking at those stats, it's obvious to anyone who isn't completely clueless that Stuckey is being played 2 minutes too much, and it's clearly affecting his scoring.
I don't even know how to approach this. Firstly, Darko was and is an incredible athlete. He did well in college. He could shoot, handle, pass, rebound. He had all the tools to be a great basketball player. Secondly, he wasn't picked 'by consensus', he was the consensus #2 pick in the draft. Those two expressions mean different things. Many GM's have said they would have picked him as well, this isn't all on JD's head. No one could have seen how little heart he really had. Some people just bust man, he ain't the only one -> Thabeet, Kwame go on that list too. In fact, probably a third of the top 12 picks go on to be nothing special. Secondly, Carmelo is garbage. Or at least, he has been until recently. The only record he has is for consecutive losses in playoff games, so it's not like you can say he is heaps clutch. His bread and butter is iso's (we already had that in Tay) which end up in the sound of clanging 20 footers, which isn't the opera I want to hear. Is he a talented scorer? Yes. Does he play any other aspect of the game? No. Feel free to prove me wrong on this one. If Wade had worn a Detroit jersey, it wouldn't have stayed on for very long. Although I am a fan of his.
Cmon panda, are you saying Darko is sweet, but Carmelo is garbage? What I said on a previous post was "did we make a pick based on a consensus' list? Which we obviously screwed up anyway.... Carmelo got a college championship as a freshman! Did Darko? What else would you go on? The winner or the beginner? Well who did we pick? I feel sorry for all who bought Darko jerseys.........
Are you three? Because you obviously didn't read my post. Darko is a total bust. I am not denying it. But you sitting there playing GM in hindsight is completely non-productive, and at times, downright fatuous. Carmelo is not a franchise superstar. You wanna know how much national championships mean to an NBA team? Absolutely nothing. And how many times has he carried teams over the finish line? None. When Melo is a team player and puts in time on the defensive end, we will talk. Until then, no deal. Did we make a pick based on a consensus list? Of course not. JD doesn't just read the ESPN rookie countdown and fly on that in the draft. Go back and read the reports on Darko. Check out the workout video (if you can find them) and see what decision you might have made. Seriously, I cannot believe we are talking about a draft pick 8 years ago. We just picked Monroe, Knight and Drummond. All three were desperately undervalued in the draft, and all have been very productive. Stop with all the butthurt.
KITTBM and Panda, we have one rule here that is 100% non-negotiable. Be nice.
He really think he is kungfu panda ha? Put him in package along with Frankenstein, Tay, and stuckey I'll drive all of them Boyz to metro. I go hard in da paint lil bear, you better check yo self fo you wreck yo self.... Don't get it twisted...
KITTBM has moved on from PF.com. I've got zero tolerance for internet tough guys. @Panda, next time hit report, don't lower the level of discussion here.
Don't get it twisted.
Teams are still falling for Darko's potential. By the way, he must really be a difficult guy in practice. There is something that he does behind the scenes that makes coaches despise him.
Sorry mate. But in all fairness if you take out the insult at the beginning my post does have content. I really want to know what it is, because it's not like the guy has no talent.
I think its lack of conditioning and a lack of understanding what that means at the professional level.
He mentioned something about being willing to "kill" or do whatever he has to do to stay on the court this year. He might just have a war zone mentality that doesn't take kindly to being benched. When coaches try to make him earn his minutes, he must say some very offensive things to them.
Darko is like Lucy's football in Charlie Brown. People still keep thinking they will be able to kick it despite all evidence to the contrary.
I always thought of Darko as the old K-Mart "Blue Light Special"............ A nice idea........but never anything you want.
Panda got sucked into the Darko debate because he is relatively new and hasn't discussed it in a thousand threads already. Most people here skim read the word Darko by now. Newbies like KITTBM get kicked to the kerb because they mistakenly think this is 'just another forum'. Big mistake.
I think it is old news. But it is an interesting topic - not because you get to rag on JD for being a Dumars, but for examining a draft pick being so colossally wrong. But it wasn't just him who got it wrong, it was the whole league. It was the difference between the Thunder in the Finals last year or eeking out 20 wins as they usually did. For me, it's more than one pick. For me, it's a prime example of exactly what is wrong with the drafting system in terms of the evaluation of talent. I feel as though the yardstick is not right in the NBA. Every pick that ever went bust, whether it's payoff picks like Oden(sort of), or an all out Kwame. These picks bring into the spotlight the legitimacy of the process by which these guys are evaluated. Despite the downward course our argument took (w/ KIITM), it was nonetheless semi-engaging. Is Melo a good player? What substantiates a good draft pick? What metrics do we measure it by? If English did nothing but egg on the team to wins from the sidelines, are we gettting good value out of that second rounder? Do we measure in absolute terms, or relative terms? How do we build a payoff matrix for the draft? These are all questions that spin in my head when I think of the draft, and Darko.
All - We have much bigger problems than Darko now. In the midst of a losing streak of seasons with no end in sight. Even if Dumars had drafted someone else I am sure they would have bailed on us by now.

With the dizzying amount of men's products on the market these days, sometimes you just want to get back to basics. This deluxe duo features two of the brand's most popular picks: the flexible-but-effective Texture Styling Crème and the deep-cleansing Clarifying Shampoo. (There's even a small packet of Firm Hold Gel, perfect for days when control is top priority.) Think of it as the perfect one-two punch of pared-down hair care.
This is a great value, in my opinion. The tube of texture creme is big enough to last me months, and the shampoo should last a while given a clarifying shampoo is not needed everyday.
The shampoo does a nice job stripping my hair of all the product build up that other shampoos do not always get. The texture creme is great for light hold of my longer hair.

Teen cited in Bend transient camp brushfire
Mom also cited, for failure to supervise child
BEND, Ore. - A 14-year-old girl staying at a large homeless camp with her mother just east of Bend has been cited in connection with Thursday's brushfire after investigators determined it's likely a fire pit near her tent was not properly extinguished the night before, Deschutes County sheriff's deputies said late Sunday night.
The teen, who authorities did not identify, was cited and released on charges of reckless burning, recklessly endangering another person and second-degree criminal mischief, Sgt. Troy Gotchy said in a news release. The girl's mother, Ruth Johnson, 41, of Bend, also was cited, for failure to supervise a child, Gotchy added.
Deputies had said Friday that the 14-year-old girl who was in the area of the homeless camp with her mother suffered minor burns to her arm and was taken to St. Charles-Bend by fire medics.
The fire was reported shortly after 2:30 p.m. at a transient camp south of Neff Road and west of Hamby Road, said sheriff's Lt. Tim Leak.
The fire quickly put up a tall smoke plume as winds pushed it to the south, area roads were closed and firefighters protected homes as it burned nearly four acres before being doused.
Eight transients, including the juvenile, were evacuated from the fire area and cited by deputies for trespassing.
A joint investigation by the sheriff's office and the Bend Fire Department said a large homeless camp had been set up on the property, and the girl was staying in a tent about 50 yards from the main camp, Gotchy said.
The fire investigator determined the fire began near the teen's tent, then spread to the west and south, damaging sagebrush and juniper trees, along with property belonging to an area homeowner.
Peggy Morris, whose home was in the fire's path, watched and worried as firefighters raced to put the flames out.
"I saw it coming up, and it was just mushrooming and exploding back there," Morris said.
The arriving deputies found sagebrush and juniper on private property engulfed in flames, Leak said.
Deputy Fire Marshal Dan Derlacki said winds of 10 mph pushed the fire to the south. Crews from the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Department of Forestry and Redmond and Sunriver fire departments helped stop the fire, which burned 3.7 acres, Derlacki said.
The fire spread on a 67-acre parcel of land owned by TNTM LLC of Eugene, Derlacki said. Junipers and some trees could be seen igniting in flames as crews tackled the blaze.
Sheriff's deputies, Oregon State Police and county road crews helped shut down Neff and Hamby roads during the fire operations.
"My husband has found evidence of fires being starting back there," Morris said. "It was just a time bomb waiting to happen."
She added that there have been numerous problems with transient camps over the years.
"We've had holes dug back across the fence, 5 feet by 5 feet, where someone I guess was planning to winter," Morris said.
Sheriff Larry Blanton told NewsChannel 21 at the scene that the county "has an issue with homeless camps on the outskirts of town," and said his office is aggressively trying to make sure camps are legal and safe.
"Do they have permission to be there?" Blanton said. "If they do have permission to be there, are they are operating in a safe manner? And apparently this was not that way and threatened some houses here."
Hamby Road was closed from Neff Road to Highway 20, and Neff was closed from Hamby to Eagle roads while firefighters battled the blaze, visible for miles. They reopened by evening.
Leak said the fire was confined to trees and sagebrush, with no structures damaged.
The fire threatened a home on Hamby Road, but Derlacki said the homeowners had created good defensible space and crews were able to keep the fire from reaching it.
U.S. Forest Service crews were called in, as well as Redmond and Sunriver fire departments, the Oregon Department of Forestry, sheriff's deputies, Bend police and Oregon State Police, according to Deschutes County 911 dispatchers.
Sheriff's deputies also helped area residents round up and move horses that could be threatened by the blaze.

Tea Joint noun. A quantity of preferably high quality dried, flavored tea leaves wrapped in rolling paper. It is a clever, cheap, harmless and legal alternative to the classic Marijuana filled joint, causing a less substantial high. Its primary uses are to increase appetite and sex drive, and to practice blowing smoke rings. Good fun.

Sighs of relief at Symphony Hall, from patrons and management alike: James Levine, music director of both the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera, had completed a doubleheader. First half: the Saturday-matinee HD telecast live from the Met of Wagner's nearly-three-hour (with no intermission) Das Rheingold, the inaugural production of the Met's new four-part Ring Cycle. Second half: that evening at Symphony Hall, his first BSO performance of Mahler's soul-stirring, hour-and-three-quarter (also with no intermission) Symphony No. 2. Both were triumphs for the conductor and his two great orchestras.
I followed the proceedings here in Boston, watching the sold-out telecast at the Fenway Theatre, then flying (but not, like Levine, by private jet) to Symphony Hall. I had already heard the Mahler two nights before. It was splendid; the orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus have rarely sounded more glorious. Levine allowed everything to unfold without pushing. Telling pauses were heartstopping. The slow glimpses of Heaven that interrupt the first movement's grim funeral march floated in timeless suspension. The second-movement country dance seemed in its own time capsule, an exquisitely nostalgic vision of the past, with enchanting pizzicatos from harps and antiphonal violins. Mahler's Scherzo, based on his satirical song about St. Anthony of Padua's sermon to indifferent fish, flowed beautifully (not suspended, like the previous dance), though I missed the pungent ironic edge.
The entrance of the chorus, barely above a whisper, singing Friedrich Klopstock's poem of belief in personal resurrection, was a ravishing high point, and mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill delivered the great song of warning, "Urlicht" ("Primal Light"), with sensitivity, urgency, and dynamic nuance. Young Layla Claire, who sang the small but important soprano solos under Michael Tilson Thomas at Tanglewood last summer, seemed to have grown into the role (with an even bigger leap forward on Saturday). Everything came together in the shattering final "Resurrection" movement, which was paced on the grandest scale, with the brasses especially impressive, singing out and not just pumping iron.
Levine seemed weary during the Rheingold curtain call, and back in Boston, he made his entrances and exits (to tumultuous applause) using a cane. For his final bow, he swung the cane like a rifle over his shoulder, seeming completely energized. Anyone who didn't think he could get through the day underestimated his stamina, if not his determination.
At the end of the Das Rheingold telecast (which is encoring this Wednesday, October 27), with the svelte body doubles for the gods climbing the Rainbow Bridge to Valhalla, a friend leaned over and whispered: "What did you think of 'The Entrance of the Gods into Tijuana'?" The magnificent conducting and playing and largely impressive singing deserved better than Robert Lepage's empty and tacky $16 million, 45-ton high-tech production. Another friend, who saw it both at the Met and on screen, called it the "Vegas Ring." (In 2005, Lepage created Cirque du Soleil's permanent show at the MGM Grand.) Seeing it on the big movie screen, I was surprised at how polite most of the reviews have been; they even forgave the opening-night technical malfunction of the Rainbow Bridge. Wagner's Ring Cycle is about greed, power, corruption, heroism, and "family values." The Met's new production, at least so far, seems mainly about its fancy set. When I got home Saturday night, I put on my cherished DVD of the Patrice Chereau/Pierre Boulez 1980 Bayreuth production, which actually contends with the political, social, and psychological issues of this musical epic.

By Richard Clarke
Thierry Henry has hailed the Emirates Cup victory by New York Red Bulls as a boost for the MLS.
As he had predicted before the tournament, it was a weekend of "mixed emotions" for the former Arsenal striker. In addition to a heartfelt homecoming, Henry was denied the opportunity for a poignant cameo in red and white but then ended up lifting the trophy after Kyle Bartley's own goal saw the American side top the table.
"We got lucky I would say but somehow we got a draw," said Henry. "It was kind of mixed emotions because you also want to compete and play properly. But you know the love I have for the Club and the understanding I have with the fans.
"It is always special to play against Arsenal. When I did it with Barcelona I came on in the last ten or 15 minutes. But now I know what it is like to run after the ball when you play against Arsenal. I used to be on the other side of that.
"We had to defend. We did not have a big squad so some of the guys had to play two games out there – 90 minutes on Saturday and 90 again. They need some credit. We are fighting to get in the Play-Offs in our Conference so this is a good result for the MLS."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

How do you manage to NOT expand your colony numbers every year?
I just want to stick with the 50ish colonies that I am keeping now.
How do you manage to NOT expand your colony numbers every year?
I just want to stick with the 50ish colonies that I am keeping now.
Sell packages or nucs?
Let them swarm?
Use the Bond method?
Colonies Die.
Give away or sell splits from your colonies and use the rest to replace your dead outs. You should have 20-30% dead outs.
Merging hives is not a problem.
Also practice swarm prevention techniques.
Have a look at:
If you haven't got enough drawn comb the key is making sure there is always a good percentage of open brood.
Matthew Davey
Usually, beekeepers struggle to keep numbers up, and employee methods of nucs to help maintain a consistent operating number. They will then sell off surplus hives according to the year
That could also be an option for you. When you assess you hives in the spring, take the surplus strength and make up nucs with it. Winter them and sell off accordingly. There is a strong market for nucs, and it will provide another stream of income for you. But most importantly, it buys you insurance for heavy loss events.
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
Really? Help me, I have too much money.
Nuc-ing you must go.
More stringent quality control. Eliminate the least productive queens and combine the bees.
You can do combines of the small ones every fall. You can do combines just before the flow to maximize production. You can sell colonies. You can sell nucs. Having too many bees is a very good problem to have and easy to resolve.
