I want to learn how to make box joints but that link on the plans page is under construction still.Does anyone have another link to get an idea how to do them?
I want to learn how to make box joints but that link on the plans page is under construction still.Does anyone have another link to get an idea how to do them?
I went to the library and checked out some books on carpentry that showed me how to make the jig that is used to make the joint.

Twenty-five years ago I bought a device named a Johnson (I think)Dovetailing machine, made expressly for making supers. Actually mine is only a jig that sits on my table saw, slides in the grooves, and turns out a dandy super. Do they still advertise and sell those ?
I have heard of the attachment that was put out before routers brcame popular but I have never seen one. You might check out the Shop Smith company as I beleve that they bought out Johnson & Company.

About 6 months I had the same problem, the link didn't work. I contacted beesource under the contact us part of this page and they sent me the link that worked. They show how yo make box joints with a jig and a dado head on the table saw. My box joints came out perfect and with verly little work. Good luck
Here are a couple links that show how to build a box joint jig:
I have made the first one and just finished cutting enough wood for 6 boxes. I think the second set of plans might be more flexible though, I'm building that one next.
Thanks Ariex.
That's just the type of link I was looking for.Those look real helpful.I will contact Beesource and get the old link if a mod doesn't post it here.That would be better so anyone dealing with this later can find it.
You're not building cabinets, just bee houses and the bees don't care as long it stays together.
I used to be a carpenter, but I don't have any fancy equipment. I actually do all of my hives with a skill saw and a 1/4 drill with a countersink (for deck screws) and a screw driver bit. I usually just do a butt joint with glue and deck screws and it holds fine. If you want a stronger joint you can do a rabbet (you're going to do one for the frame rest anyway) for the corners. It takes eight more cuts for every hive though. I've also done the rabbets with a router, but I haven't been able to find mine for several years. I'm a real believer in glue and screws. They never pull out like the nails.
Hello Michael,
When you are building your frames without the box joints, do you put the screws through the front or through the sides? I plan to try your "screw and glue" method. Thanks.
Box joints vs. rabbet joints. I've used both. Obviously, the box joint is stronger, but like Michael said, it is not custom cabinetry! I personally use rabbets. I have a table saw, with a dado set, so it is easy. I also have a box joint jig, that I made, and it makes perfect joints every time. The rabbett joint, is strong enough, and I feel it seals better. Now for glue, I use a polyurethane based glue, called "Gorilla Glue". It is the strongest glue that I have ever used, its waterproof, and it seals things very well. In fact, I built a mini "miller feeder" for a nuc box, and that glie sealed the syrup trays, no silicone, no beeswax. Personal preference I guess.

If I had a table saw, I'd probably do the rabbet joints because it wouldn't be very hard to do with that equipment.
>When you are building your frames without the box joints, do you put the screws through the front or through the sides? I plan to try your "screw and glue" method. Thanks.
I make the ends (where the frames rest) with the rabbet cut. I usually use my skill saw (use a table saw if you have one). I am exceptionally good with the skill saw (decades of practice) but if you set the depth right they aren't too hard. I usually cut this rabbet the whole length of my material before cutting the ends to length. Then I put the longer sides past the outside of these. Meaning, for a standard Lanstroth hive I cut the ends 14 3/4" and the sides 19 7/8". I set the ends up and lay a side on. Then I counter sink the holes for the screws with a countersink bit. I lay a good bead of exterior wood glue (Tite Bond or Elmers) on the end and screw them together using 2 1/4" deck screws and a drill with a #2 Phillips bit. I take the strip you have to rip to get the right width (for deeps you need 9 5/8" and a 1 x10 is only 9 1/4" so you end up ripping a strip off of a 1 x 12) and I cut it to 16 1/4" and put it in the middle of the ends for a handle (see the plans on this site for an example of these kinds of handles). I glue it and screw it with 1 1/4" deck screws in the middle (so they won't go trhough) and 2 1/4" on the ends. The handle helps hold it together. Be sure to countersink the holes and don't screw the ones on the ends in too tight or they will split. If they do, oh well, but the wood will last longer if they don't. When you paint it, make sure you get paint down in all the splits and it will help. I think these last about as well as any other method, and I've got all kinds of joints on hive boxes here.
Thank You Both!!
hope you have lot of time on your hands or are going to make just a few hive boxes.
I have been in the bees for very long time and if you get over five yrs from a box count your self lucky.
I use rabbit joints there faster and hold very well if glued I have some boxes that are 20yrs old and some get damaged by bears and skunks.
I can make about 40hive boxesin a hr. and the box joint don't make the box any better but does look better the bees never check.
good luck
Don, Was that a typo? 40/hr? Please tell me all your secrets.Seriously,I agree about rabbet joints.Faster to cut,Last longer(50%less end grain showing) and easier to assemble.I built a jig similar to frame nailing jig to assemble two at time with air stapler.I use pallet wood(#3 pine,12 in.)so I have to rip and cut around knots.About 25-30% waste.On a good day,I can do two/hr,ready to paint.
A few lessons learned:
Check your grain and place cupping towards inside.Makes for a more stable joint and it's better to have a little more room on the side of the frames than less.Also keeps frame rests a constant distance.
Square your boxes after gluing and hold with a wood strip.
Keep your frame rest depth constant.Most burr comb and or propilizing is from bee box incompatability.
And finally,cut your handles after you assemble your boxes because they always work better when they are on the outside of the box. Jack
no type o just work fastbeen doing it long time. first set your table saw to with you like and saw away. I use air stapler as it holds longer. by the way a helper usely glues the boards for so there are ready to staple.
I also saw my own wood on my woodmizer saw mill so cost is low my helper gets a few boxes for his help.
wish you lived close could show you

Welcome to the Gerontology Program at Sacramento State
The Gerontology Program at Sacramento State provides students with a unique interdisciplinary perspective of the process of aging. Courses focus on both "ill" and "well" aspects encountered ALONG THE LIFE SPAN, emphasizing intergenerational active aging for all populations. Bachelor and Minor students enroll in interdisciplinary core courses spanning many different disciplines and have the opportunity to enroll in a broad variety of elective courses designed to meet individual career aspirations. Graduate Certificate students complete 18 units of core gerontology classes which may also be used when constructing a Special Master's degree in gerontology and another discipline. The Gerontology Program is proud of its past and present and looks forward to an active future as the world plans for and meets the global aging demographic imperative.
Degree and certificate options in the Gerontology Program include:
- a Minor option (since the 1970s).
- the only baccalaureate (Bachelor of Science) in northern California (since 1990).
- the Graduate Certificate in Gerontology since Fall 2000 - first through the College of Continuing Education (CCE) and then through the on-campus program beginning Fall 2008. (The Graduate Certificate Program is currently in suspension - contact the office for further details.)
- an individualized Special Master's Program concentrating in Gerontology and one other area of study (since the 1980s). Special Master's students develop and title their degree according to their specific goals.
Community Programs:
In addition to students participating in community engagement in a variety of service learning program sites, the Gerontology Program continues to be very dynamic in other community engagement through its Longevity Center. As in previous years, the Center offered and sponsored community programs about longevity and other issues related to aging, for elders and their families, and for professionals.
Plans for the 21st Century are numerous but examples include:
- Enhancing and updating current courses for Gerontology students as well as for students from other disciplines throughout the University.
- Enhancing and presenting educational programs for community members that address the demographic imperatives of the new millennium.
- Continuing to add service learning components in courses to facilitate application of theory to practice.
- Providing more opportunities for student involvement in community projects and partnerships.
National Recognition/Program Basis:
The Gerontology Program curriculum was conceived and has evolved based on the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE) nationally recognized gerontological program criteria and professional practice competencies. During the past three years, the Program Director participated on a national committee, analyzing, updating and implementing these competencies for both gerontology and nursing. Using this organization's vision, national evidence based view, and competency criteria, has strengthened the program, assisted career definition in the field, and positioned the Sacramento State Program to be ready for program accreditation when it is mandated by the profession.

Lol realy?
I thought the 2 worst calls of the game were in the Giants favor. The OFF pass interference was horrible! and the horse collar tackle was even worse.
I didn't think the officiating had any impact on the game
the players should have carried the refs off the field but i guess that would have been to obvious. did you hear fletcher miked telling the refs good call good call 2 for 2 and the refs laughing, yeah but it wasnt a fixed game or anything. league knows nobody believes in the cowgirls anymore so they gotta make sure the skins are right there.
Geez, the crybabies on this board. Officiating was okay. Just one of those games, lost by 1. It was just beyond our grasp, but I'm not worried. We were able to move the ball, our defense held them to 17. One touchdown was lucky - but hey we get lucky sometimes too. I just don't know why we tried forcing the run there in the end - we were doing well passing.
Oh well!
Hats off to Redskins - they get the W.
granted we didnt do ourselves any favors by not scoring tds but its hard to win when your facing the other team at home and the refs also. make no mistake officiating was horrible still should have won , the inability to score tds has cost us many more games than this one.
Officiating was deciding factor tonight. How were we outplayed when we won time of possession, total yards & turnovers? Half of Deadskins rushing yards were on missed holds. They get a lucky TD & only one more. You know penalties r bogus when they don't show reply & half our penalties they didn't show. Same stuff happened in 1st Deadskin game (although I chalked that up to being at home) & 1st egirls game. We should be 9-3 & 4-1 in div. We need Ravens to beat Skins, Cincy to beat Dallas & us to beat NO to be up 2 with 3 to play. Thanks to tonight we have to stay ahead of Deadskins or they win the tiebreaker & win div.

Darksiders II and Max Payne 3 Season Pass Issues[ Edited ]
We're aware of the current issue in which Darksiders II and Max Payne 3 Season's Passes don't seem to be giving gamers their DLC (Abyssal Forge and Hostage Negotiation Pack, respectively).
We're working on a solution and hope to have it resolved as soon as possible. I will update this thread when I have news. Until then, we apologize for the inconvenience.
10/31 Update: Hi all, just an update; we're still working on an ETA for when this will be fixed. Thanks for your patience, and we're working as quickly as possible to get this addressed.
11/1 Update: Hello everyone. Looks like the latest shows that this will be resolved in the next PS Store Update next Tuesday on 11/6. We're looking into some ways to make this a bit easier on you guys as I know it's not very fun to have to wait on this content. I'll update with more news as I get it, but I do apologize for the delay.
11/7 Update: Hey everyone. Darksiders II content should be addressed. Max Payne 3 content is getting fixed within the next 3 hours or so. Let me know in this thread if you're still seeing issues with this after 3 hours. To be clear, we're taking this very seriously on our end and are actively working to address the issue.
11/7 Update #2:
All content should now be up. We'll be making sure that the teams responsible are extra vigilant in ensuring that the content you're entitled to is available when it should be. You guys know this is a fairly rare thing, but when it happens, it sucks terribly, and I apologize on behalf of the ops teams. But I'm confident that these cases will be far and few in between, and we'll work hard with the goal of it never happening again.
Thanks for everyone's patience on this. We'll keep this floated for another day, but then will be 'unfloating' this topic.

same here, sandy was a **bleep**. so is PSN/R* for screwin with season pass holders. imagine how "great" i feel having paid in advance for a product only to get it later than the general population. not to mention the inferiority complex caused by xbox always beeing on time with releases.
Re: Darksiders II and Max Payne 3 Season Pass Issues
Re: Darksiders II and Max Payne 3 Season Pass Issues
i side with this, unfortunately sony is one of the stingiest companies out there when it comes to compensating users for their errors, also their customer service is slow and awful. let me rephrase that last line. their whole service is slow and awful. content is always released towards the end of the mentioned date. xbox is on this dlc since 12.15am today (eastern time, oct 30th) while sony always released at 5.00pm. **bleep** is that. i know the service is free, but we paid more for the console. next generation i'd rather be buying one less game a year and pay for the xbox service instead. tired of these crap issues week in and week out. play station plus also doesn't warm me up one bit. gone are the days when you bought SONY everything in your house because you knew it was high end stuff. now it's just a lingering relic, and old dinosaur, constantly fu**ing their customer with bull**** drm (like cinavia), proprietary formats, discontinued or dead on release products etc. ; an overall SH*TTY EXPERIENCE.

Dam's fate looms over Mirror Pond choices
Four options. survey online; open houses scheduled
BEND, Ore. - Bend is one step closer to learning the fate of Mirror Pond. On Wednesday, project leaders released photos and diagrams of what the four options might look like.
Some options to deal with silt build-up would keep the pond relatively the same, others would drastically change it. But no matter what option is selected, the pond could change anyway.
And it all depends on whether Pacific Power removes its hydroelectric dam, which powered the small town and created the pond more than a century ago.
Option one is to do nothing -- to let the silt pile up -- and would cost nothing. It's the option Bill Baer Jr. likes best. He's been living in Bend for nearly 80 years, and his family's been here since 1919.
"It's going to be a hard battle with me to give up Mirror Pond," Baer said. "It's an icon and a signature of Bend. I went up to Anchorage, Alaska, I walked into a bar up there, and they had Mirror Pond Pale Ale, and I about fell over."
Option 2 is dredging the pond, for the first time in 30 years, an estimated $5.7 million project aimed at preserving Bend's iconic look -- but for how long is anyone's guess.
"It is a risk," said project leader Jim Figurski. "We don't know when the dam will be removed, or if it will be removed."
Even if the pond is dredged, Pacific Power could remove the dam -- and Mirror Pond will be no more. Diagrams show the Deschutes River would turn back into a naturally flowing river.
At Wednesday's meeting, City Councilor Mark Capell pointed out the all four different options look similar, if the dam is removed.
The third option up for discussion is to partially dredge and use the removed sediment on site. The sediment would create new lawn areas next to public park lands and a natural edge condition of riparian shrubs. This option could cost about $3.5 million.
The final option would remove the dam and reroute the channel. In the process, the river would flow more freely. The total cost for this project, including dam removal, is estimated at $10.6 million.
"What you don't want to do is pick the most expensive option, if the dam is going to be removed," Capell said of the first three options that don't include removing the dam.
"I think we need a better understanding in the community for what Pacific Power's intentions are," Capell added.
Pacific Power spokesman Bob Gravely told NewsChannel 21 on Wednesday the company wants to hear what the community wants before deciding what steps to take.
But he also said the dam is coming to the end of its life -- and it's worth to the company is ending as well.
"Over the long term, I do not think we would keep using it for our services," Gravely said. "If this (the dam) were in the middle of nowhere and it was uneconomical, we would remove it."
He said there is no immediate plan to remove the dam, but if the community decides it should stay, Pacific Power likely would not maintain ownership or management of the dam.
Instead, Gravely said, they would work with the community to transfer ownership.
For now, project leaders want to know what you think.
By Friday, you will be able to look online at detailed photographs and diagrams of each project, as well as the costs and explanations of project details.
The report also includes recreational activities and impacts of each option, and the vegetation and wildlife that can be expected with the changes.
There is a survey you can complete to voice your opinion -- and all of this will be found on the project website at www.mirrorpondbend.com
Figurski said the project also will be hosting a number of open house meetings where people can come learn about the options and see the photos. Those dates and times can also be found on the project website.
Here's Thursday's news release from the Bend Park and Rec District:
Beginning Thursday, June 13th, Bend residents are invited to offer input on possible solutions to Mirror Pond's silt build-up and complete a comprehensive questionnaire.
Showing four viable alternatives, the questionnaire is available online at www.MirrorPondBend.com or in print upon request. All submissions are due on or before July 12th.
This questionnaire is the second phase of a three-phase process being conducted by the Mirror Pond Steering Committee to determine a preferred course of action.
The first phase, a community values questionnaire, was conducted this February and the third phase to select a preferred course of action will be later this summer and fall.
The current questionnaire presents detailed illustrations representing alternative actions with the projected range of costs, possible regulatory requirements, and the strengths and weaknesses of each action. For additional information, the project's website provides information on the history of the pond's silt build-up and its impact on the Deschutes River and community.
For people who prefer to learn more about the alternatives or ask questions in person, three open houses will be held:
-- Wednesday, June 19th and Tuesday, June 25th, 5:00 – 6:30 pm Bend Park & Recreation District, 799 SW Columbia St.
--Tuesday, July 2nd, 3:00 – 7:00 pm Juniper Swim & Fitness Center lobby, 800 NE 6th St.
Using a drop-in format, each open house will be hosted by Jim Figurski, Mirror Pond Project Manager, and committee members.
"Our intention was to provide opportunities for people to contribute to the process in whatever manner works best for them - from meeting face-to-face at a public meeting or going onto their computers from the privacy of their home. Everyone's input is valuable," states Figurski.
Public input is crucial to this process. The process takes into consideration current public values for the pond, past studies, identification of regulatory requirements associated with each action, and rough cost estimates to inform a recommendation for both immediate and long-term responses to the silt build-up.
In the third and final phase, those actions most closely aligned with community values and interests will be presented to the Mirror Pond Management Board, a seventeen member citizen's group appointed by the City Council, for consideration. The Management Board's recommendation will then be presented to the community. It is anticipated that a decision will be made by this fall.
For additional project information or to request a paper questionnaire be mailed to them, citizens may visit www.MirrorPondBend.com or call (541) 706-6152.

Latest results for Zeiss lensesMonday March 28 2011 Lens Review
Planar T50mm f/1.4
This 50mm reaches its best DxOMark low-light score at f/2.8 on both APS-C and full-frame sensors, and has to be stopped down to f/4 to achieve its best mid-light score.
This makes this 50mm a suitable candidate for portraits or reportage.
Distortion is handled well, as well as chromatic aberrations are on full-frame; these perturbations are slightly more noticeable on the edges when the lens is attached to a D300s, for instance. The biggest concern with this very fast lens is that it is hardly usable at its maximum aperture and has to be stopped down by 2 stops to reach a good enough definition.
On a full-frame sensor (D3X):
When installed on a D3x, the first noticeable detail is that opening the lens wide results in strongly deteriorated resolution, between 20 and 30lp/mm on the whole frame. The central first one-third becomes interesting when the lens is stopped down to f/2.8, and becomes very sharp at f/4and f/5.6. But the edges remain much softer. To improve them, one must stop down to f/11, thus lowering the resolution in the middle of the field.
Visible at f/1.4, vignetting disappears as soon as the lens is stopped down to f/2.8.
On an APS-C sensor (D300s):
On a smaller-sized sensor, the resolution behaves the same way: very poor when the lens is wide open, it improves considerably when stopping down to f/4 and f/5.6, but the last one-third of the field remains very soft.
At full aperture, vignetting is present, although quite light; 1 stop later, at f/2, it has completely disappeared.
Comparison 1:
Zeiss Planar T 50mm f/1.4 ZF2 v. Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4D
Comparison 2:
Zeiss Planar T 50mm f/1.4 ZF2 v. Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8D
Comparison 3:
Zeiss Planar T 50mm f/1.4 ZF2 v. Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4G

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Carl Zeiss is one of those almost mythical lens makers. Focusing on quality, its lenses almost always rely on complex optical formulas. Their price reflects this involvement in quality, and logically Zeiss lenses are on the same shelves as the very high-end Canon or Nikon models.

Updated: Passaic Valley area school officials to look at school report card info to help assess needs, plans
The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) recently released the performance report of the 2012-2013 school year for all schools statewide. It is the second year the department has used the new the format, geared to highlight categories for college and career readiness and provide "peer schools" comparisons.
The report aims to provide a more complete account of a district's performance for educators, parents and the general public with regard to student growth, standardized testing, among other measures, and to put pressure on districts to improve.
Last year's unveiling of the new format prompted some criticism from area superintendents, complaining that the report did not accurately compare similar peer group characteristics. Changes were reportedly made to this year's report card reflecting more direct comparisons for schools that share similar socio-economic factors, special education classifications and ESL (English as Second Language) students. It also marks the first time that participation in arts education has been included in any state's annual school-level reporting.
Passaic Valley High School
According to Dr. Viktor Joganow, superintendent of Passaic Valley High School, some changes made to this year's report still do not accurately reflect fair comparisons.
"There are 30 high school districts in this peer group that are still being unfairly compared socio-economically," he said. "They've compared us to high schools like Princeton Regional High School, Summit Senior High School, Cherry Hill High School West, and Parsippany High School. The problem is that they removed the 'DFG' (district factor group) off last year's report when they first reflected changes and when you compile this report, you have to consider this when making these comparisons."
Joganow added that only eight high school districts are similar to that of PV. Four high schools are lower socio-economically and the rest are all wealthier districts.
"I complained about the disparity last year to the state but there are still flaws in this report," he added. "You want to compare apples to apples. The 'Coleman Study' of the 60s clearly indicated that socioeconomics are a serious element when looking at academic achievement. Funding is an important factor as is the socio-economic status of a community and support of a student's family. They also need to compare regional high schools to other regional high schools and not K-12 districts. People who want to dismiss these factors have their heads in the sand."
Joganow also said changes in enrollment are also a factor. He said there were 217 students at the high school on free and reduced lunch in 2011, compared with 360 currently.
"We shouldn't be compared to districts that have about 400 to 500 students, in comparison to PV that has about 1,400 students."
The high school's academic achievement indicator for HSPA Language Arts proficiency and above was at 94 percent for school-wide performance. The HSPA mathematics proficiency and above academic indicator was at 85 percent for school-wide performance.
According to the report, the high school's academic achievement met 70 percent of its targets. It met 100 percent of its graduation and post-secondary performance area.
Little Falls
The performance comparisons of the three K-8 districts in Passaic Valley were also reflected. The rankings compare local school districts to 30 other schools in various part of the state from Gloucester to Essex and Camden counties.
William Petrick, superintendent of the Little Falls School District, commented on the report.
"Information contained in the report is always used to inform our decision making processes for professional development, staffing, and curriculum," he said. "Knowing the details of our school's performing before the comparative results were released, played a substantive role in determining goals that have been set for the superintendent."
According to the score percentages in the school district for seventh grade ASK were 71 percent in language arts proficiency and 48 percent in mathematics proficiency. Score percentages for eighth grade ASK were 73 percent in language arts proficiency and 49 percent in mathematics proficiency. The academic performance of the school district's middle school (reported as grades 5-8), School No. 1, is "about average" when compared to schools across the state and when compared to its peers. It met 60 percent of its targets in academic achievement, which measures the content knowledge students have in language arts literacy and math, according to the report. Additionally, the school's student growth performance is "high" when compared to schools across the state and is "about average" when compared to its peers.
In terms of student growth, which measures students' performance on the ASK scores from one year to the next, the school met 100 percent of its targets, outperforming 64 percent of schools statewide and 55 percent of schools educating students with similar demographics, according to the report.
At Little Falls School No. 2, serving 211 students pre-kindergarten through second grade, 91.2 percent of students reported speaking primarily English in their homes, while 2.7 spoke Spanish, 1.7 spoke Arabic, and 0.7 percent spoke Turkish, 0.7 spoke Chinese and 0.7 spoke Hindi.
In terms of academic performance, Little Falls School No. 3, serving grades three and four, is "about average" to schools statewide and in comparison to its peer schools. It outperformed 52 percent of schools statewide and 43 percent of schools with similar demographics, the report indicates, according to the report.

Ginger and black fungus chicken is a plain and humble dish that anyone can whip up in their kitchen, and most importantly, it's delicious and goes well with steamed rice.
This ginger chicken dish is inspired by a recipe from "Thai Cooking Made Easy," a must-have Thai cookbook in my opinion. I have no doubt that the recipe is originally Chinese as many Thai recipes are adaptations of Chinese food. I like it that fermented beans are used in the sauce (which is absent from the traditional Chinese version), it adds a lot of depth to the taste of the chicken and black fungus. The addition of red onion is a nice touch, too…
Do trymy ginger chicken with black fungus recipe, eat well, stay healthy, and have a wonderful weekend.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by LisaS, Mar 23, 2011.
Wow, what a legend. RIP Elizabeth.
So sad. I've just discovered her movies in the last few years, she was a beautiful person and actress.
Absolutely a legend. RIP
The end of an era. RIP.
RIP to Elizabeth Taylor. A legend.
RIP dear lady and thanks for the memories.
Not very shocked by this. I think she's been ill for a while. RIP Ms. Taylor.
So sad. Farewell to the woman with violet coloured eyes. RIP.
Ohh, NO RIP.
Such sad news; she was one of the most beautiful women to have ever graced the silver screen, and her passion for personal causes made her even more a legend. Rest in peace, Liz!
RIP Ms. Taylor. Truly a legend, and she'll never be forgotten.
National Velvet: spurred my insane love for horses. RIP.
Sad news indeed
RIP the film star that is Elizabeth Taylor
She will live through her wonderful films. Suddenly last summer is one of my all time favourites. R.I.P.
RIP Liz. your journey was a memorable one, especially later in life with all her tireless work on the behalf of AIDS research.
Favorite movies would be "Father of the Bride" and "Giant".
It will take me awhile to realize that she really isn't here any more...
My favorite Liz movie is The Sandpiper. I will watch it today for her.
A beautiful person; inside and out,
What a legacy she leaves, as an actress - and activist.
RIP, Elizabeth. Thank you.
You will never be forgotten!
Funny, I was just wondering about that the other day in the checkout line, looking at all the tabloids and their death-watch headlines for any older celeb with a cold. For some reason I remembered her and wondered how she was doing.
She was a true actress and screen star. Just half of her movies would have been a terrific career for any actress today, but she made everything more special with her talent. After all that, nobody would have blamed her for sitting back and enjoying the fruits of her labors, but her activism and desire to make this world a better place made her even more special.
The world lost a true star.
RIP One of the last of the old Hollywood legends.
Goodbye to one of the last stars of Hollywood's Golden Age.
A very nice, long tribute from the NY Times.
I think Kirk Douglas and to a lesser extent Micky Rooney are the only stars remaining from Hollywood's "Golden Age".
She is one of the last big screen icons
Notable movies -
National Velvet, Little Women, A Place in the Sun, Ivanhoe, Giant, Raintree County, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Suddenly Last Summer, Butterfield 8, Cleopatra, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Taming of the Shrew.
I loved Suddenly Last Summer and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Suddenly Last Summer was considered as 'pushing the envelope' back in 1959. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf in 1966 with its foul language helped crack the motion picture code and replace it with ratings [G, PG, R, X] around 1968.
"These have always brought me luck."
RIP Elizabeth Taylor. What a legend. Your White Diamonds will live forever.
Her death saddens me. One selfish reason is because my mother is only one year younger then Elizabeth. All the stars my mother grew up with are passing away and it's only a matter of time.
RIP Elizabeth Taylor
Such a beauty and a character.
My favorite Elizabeth Taylor movie is "Elephant Walk" in 1954 with a young Peter Finch
A legend....and one of the first celebrities to give a crap about people with HIV/AIDS.
Love ya, Liz, and thank you!!!!
In "Father of the Bride" (1950) & "A Place in the Sun" (1951), just so gorgeous! My fave performances: "Cat/Roof" (1958) & "Suddenly, Last Summer" (1959).
So sad.
I hear you. My own mother will be 74 1 month from tomorrow, my dad is 71, and I have a buddy/mentor who just turned 70 2 months ago yesterday. Luckily, all 3 of them are in good health physically and mentally, but nothing lasts forever.

Sig probably has more variations of different models than any other maker out there, first thing's first, browse their CATALOG, that will let you see most of the different models out there and should explain most of the acronyms.
The models you seem to be interested in are the 226 (full size) and 229 (mid size) and possibly the 239 (mid size, single stack magazine), multiple variations of each are in current production and Sig has something for everyone.
Your "common" acronyms related to Sig are:
This refers to the trigger type(s):
Double Action/Single Action
Double Action Kellerman
Single Action Only
Short Reset Trigger
You can read up on the differing trigger types here: Trigger Types Defined and Explained. I will add that the SRT is a traditional Double Action/Single Action that has a shorter reset (the point at which the mechanism is ready to fire again)
Some other terminology is SAS, this refers to Sig Anti-Snag, the SAS models are guns that have been "dehorned' which is a rounding of the corners etc removing the sharper edges.
SCT refers to Super Capacity Tactical, they made some changes to the standard models such as the short reset trigger, extended capacity magazines, differnt sights and some cosmetic changes such as forward cocking serrations.
Regarding the muzzle rise, that's a matter of opinion and will vary from person to person, Sigs have a higher bore axis than some other guns and to me have a little more muzzle climb that some different makes and modlels. Bore axis is simply the height of the barrel in relation to the firing hand. A higher bore axis places the muzzle higher above the hand.
Again, as there are so many models, the website and the catalog are probably the best way to go. If you go to a good gun shop, they should have a catalog that you can take home and look over.
I'll work on another post going over most of the models, but it takes some time.

text: Zaitsev/Stevens might not move up to Junior level for the next season -- no one will know until early summer. They were first year Novice's this year, and a bit young compared to the other medalists (12 and he just turned 18 a couple weeks ago). They had some easier throws and SBS jumps compared to the other Novice medalists. They could gain the more difficult jumps needed in junior by summer, or may need an extra season. Since they're coached by S. Zaitsev, I would expect them to follow a similar path that Andrews/Anderson followed (2 years at Novice -- finishing in the middle of the pack the first year, and won their second year), before moving on to Juniors. Give "Divette & Utah" some time, if they need it.

Holiday News and Updates from CrestockPosted: December 7, 2012 Filed under: Microstock, News, Uncategorized 1 Comment
The holidays approach… plans are set, stores are shopped and gifts are gathered! We have some holiday plans at Crestock too. Here's a quick run-down of news and announcements for the month of December.
Update 1/7/2013: the Upload system has now been reopened. Thanks for your patience!
Upload system hiatus for the holidays
The Crestock image upload system will be temporarily suspended from 12 noon ET on December 21st 2012 until 12 noon ET on January 7th 2013.
This will not affect buyers who are purchasing or downloading images. During this time it will not be possible for contributors to upload new images or connect to our FTP server for file transfers. Images which are processed before the December 21st cutoff can still be edited and submitted via contributor tools on the site, however. We hope our contributors and editors will enjoy the break.
Some important notes for contributors:
- The cutoff will begin at 12 noon Eastern (Toronto) Time on Friday December 21 2012. Uploading will resume at 12 noon Eastern Time on Monday January 7 2013. Advance notice has also been posted on each contributors' Upload Images page.
- Images which are being processed at the moment the cutoff takes effect may be truncated. We will check for and remove any such incomplete files in order to prevent errors.
- Images which were uploaded to the FTP server before the cutoff date will remain safe on the server for later processing.
- Our existing policy of deleting unprocessed uploads older than 60 days will be altered to take this uploading hiatus into account. Instead of 60 days, contributors will have 90 days to process any images which were uploaded between October 21st and December 21st.)
Holiday hours
In case your holiday plans include a spot of freelance work or last minute image shopping, please be aware that Crestock HQ will be closed on certain dates. Our hours for December 2012 and January 2013 will be as follows:
December 1-21, 2012 – Regular hours (9AM – 5PM ET, Monday through Friday)
Monday December 24, 2012 – Office closed
Tuesday December 25, 2012 – Office closed
Wednesday December 26, 2012 – Open 9AM – 5PM ET *Support by email only on this date*
Thursday December 27, 2012 – Open 9AM – 5PM ET
Friday December 28, 2012 – Open 9AM – 5PM ET
Monday December 31, 2012 – Office closed
Tuesday January 1, 2013 – Office closed
Wednesday January 2, 2013 – Regular hours resume.
We will respond to all support requests recieved on closed dates the following business day.
Got an urgent question? Please be sure to check our information pages for the answers to frequently asked questions about buying and selling images.
Looking forward
We would like to thank all of our clients and contributors for their support and feedback. This has been a year of growth and learning for Crestock. We have more big projects and site improvements in store for 2013.
Until then, best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season from all of us on the Crestock Team!

Despite pointing the finger at video games in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre, US pro-gun lobbyists the National Rifle Association have released a game of their own.
While some have called the release hypocritical, the game - NRA: Practice Range - claims it "instills safe and responsible ownership through fun challenges and realistic simulations".
The iTunes Store listing for the game describes the app as "the NRA's new mobile nerve centre, delivering one-touch access to the NRA network of news, laws, facts, knowledge, safety tips, educational materials and online resources".
"It strikes the right balance of gaming and safety education, allowing you to enjoy the most authentic experience possible," it says.
The 3D game allows users to test weapons on three realistic shooting ranges and offers gun safety advice while gamers wait for the game to load.
NRA: Practice Range is free to download from iTunes, however users can pay to unlock extra weapons, such as a MK11 sniper rifle.
The game is rated 4+ and was developed by MEDL Mobile.
The app, which can be played on iPhones and iPads, was released on January 13 - one month on from the massacre at a Connecticut elementary school where 20 children and six adults were gunned down.
In the wake of the tragedy, the NRA blamed violent movies and video games for the rise of violence in the United States, a claim rejected by the gaming industry.
The timing of the release - and the apparent hypocrisy given the NRA's position - has been criticised on social media and in online reviews.
"Is now the best time for a National Rifle Association (NRA) 3D shooting game? We'd suggest not," theappside.com wrote in their review of the game.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment was exactly as described: modern, sleek, clean and very centrally located - the keys perfectly - unfortunately our neighbors were very loud at 4 clock in the morning (and the apartment very noisy) - we were very satisfied!
Die Wohnung war genau wie beschrieben: modern, schick, sauber und sehr zentral gelegen - die Schlüsselübergabe perfekt - leider waren unsere Nachbarn um 4 Uhr morgens sehr laut (und die Wohnung sehr hellhörig) - wir waren sehr zufrieden!
short distance to the old town, pleasant rooms with historic flair, kl. balcony with views over the suburb roofs, daily market activity just around the corner, so far everything is great, but difficult lighting conditions (extremely dark energy-saving lamps, only 1nachttischlampe for 4 beds), 1 double bed single beds from 2, which ultimately remain standing with distance and a very broad ritz have. 1 bed something is broken ...
kurze entfernung zur altstadt, angenehme räume mit historischem flair, kl. balkon mit blick über die Vorstadtdächer, tägliches Markttreiben gleich um die Ecke, soweit alles prima, allerdings schwierige beleuchtungsverhältnisse ( extrem dunkle energiesparlampen, nur 1nachttischlampe für 4 betten), 1 doppelbett besteht aus 2 einzelbetten, die letztlich mit abstand stehen bleiben und einen sehr breiten ritz aufweisen. 1 bett ist etwas defekt...
Great location and easy to toaccess and quiet area. Clean and tidy place. The only negative was that the quilts were to thin for the weather. Otherwise highly reccomendable. Claus from Denmark
Very nice location in Krakow.
We did not get the impression this apartment as we had ordered, and that there had been a system failure at one or another level. We were incorrectly registered in another apartment, despite the fact that I had received confirmation that everything was in order by e-mail. This second apartment was of a different caliber, a very bad exchange. We complained and were offered another apartment 15 minutes outside the city, which was of no interest to us.
Vi fikk ikke inntrykk av denne leiligheten som vi hadde bestilt, i og med at det hadde skjedd en systemsvikt på et eller et annet nivå. Vi var feilregistrert på en annen leilighet, på tross av at jeg hadde fått bekreftelse på at alt var i orden per e-post. Denne andre leiligheten var av et helt annet kaliber, et svært dårlig bytte. Vi klagde og fikk tilbud om en annen leilighet 15 min utenfor sentrum, som var uaktuell for oss.
Perfect location, good size and spotless service. Highly recommended.
Excellent value
Lovely large apartment, right in the center. Directly from the door, the bustling (even at night!) Square.
Heerlijk groot appartement, midden in de binnenstad. Direct uit de deur, het bruisende (ook 's nachts!) plein op.
Nice apartment, brand new, 5 minutes walking to the Old Town, comfortable, very clean, spacious and quite, Host super friendly and helpful. I would recommend this apartment to everyone going to Krakow.
Toplocatie!! Zonder meer. Wel erg lawaaierig omdat het midden in centrum ligt en Krakau een superlevendige stad is (24/7)
Verhuurder haalt en brengt je naar vliegveld indien gewenst, precies volgens afspraak! Super!
Nadeel zijn het aantal trappen (64) die je moet nemen.
Tip aan verhuurder: bij verhuur aan > 4 personen ook extra stoel aan tafel plaatsen. Keukeninrichting is te summier. Gasstel maar geen lucifers, 3 superkleine pannetjes. Geen koffiezetapparaat.
Mooi, schoon en net appartement. Goede sanitaire voorzieningen. Voor herhaling vatbaar

The Church: A Lawmaking Body
Essay by: Heather Kusterer
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
A Law Making Body: The Church
Settlers came to the new world to escape religious prosecution, and to create a life that was their own. They didn't like having a person tell them how to worship or how to live their life and they definitely didn't want to live in a place with laws doing such. America was where their wishes could be fulfilled. America became a light in the dark for thousands, and her shores welcomed those who wanted a new start.
After independence was won form the British, America got off to a rocky start. However, it slowly began to boom, economically and spiritually. But, faith was not the only reason a person's sprit was lifted. It was the prospect that everyone could live a life of freedom under the new constitution. No man's rights could be taken from him, and we all had the right to do what we think is best. Nowadays, though, I find that the freedoms we used to cherish are being ironically taken away by the church. Our government was supposed to be ruled by the people, with every person having a say-so. Even though religious freedom was the main reason for our coming here, it's not everyone's. Somehow the church has wriggled its way into lawmaking. Isn't that why people in Martin Luther's day were so upset? If you looked at it from the perspective of one entity trying to take over the political workings of a whole country, instead of looking at it from a "Godly intervention" standpoint, you'll see that the church has become the tyrant of America.
I mean, take things like The Morning After pill, for example. Why is it such a big issue? It's scientifically proven that a baby's heartbeat isn't formed at conception. It takes days for that little heart to start pumping. If your heart isn't pumping, you aren't alive, right? I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. Otherwise, we made a mistake and need to dig up my grandma! I digress. This common-sense fact is being disputed, though (what?). The more prominent churches (at least) say that everything scientific about the research is wrong. A baby is formed at conception, because that's what God has ordained. Many want contraception like this to be made illegal. Well, if that's the case, should we make condoms or even masturbation illegal, too?
Another thing that really grinds my gears about the church making its way into legislation is their insisting on gay marriage to stay illegal. What point is there in that? Why can't two people who are in love marry? Oh, yeah. That's right. According to their doctrine it "ruins the sanctity of marriage." I can see how two men or two women getting married to one another would ruin the sanctity of marriage, while Kim Kardashian getting married in a drive-thru and then divorcing two days later, doesn't. That makes total sense. I'm sure back in the 1700's if someone told people who they could love, they would've been slapped across the face (of course being gay wasn't very common back then). Many say it would allow gay couples to adopt, too. Apparently, that's bad. They say it would ruin a child's life. What do people know about what would ruin a child's life? A child can ruin his own life, without the help of their parents. Besides, gay couples are adopting nowadays, and their children are happy as ever. Being gay is not a choice (don't argue, they found a gene). Gay parents wouldn't affect the sexuality of their children any more than their straight parents affected theirs. I think it's just the church wanting things to go its way, and having a tantrum when it doesn't, like a little toddler.
For some reason, people have this image that a good politician is a Christian. Yes, Christians have a standard of morals, but that doesn't necessarily mean they uphold them. I know thousands voted for George W. Bush just because he's Christian, and we see how well that turned out. Everyone pretty much hates him. And would it really require religion to know right from wrong? Does someone really need to believe that there's a man in the sky who will send you into a fiery pit for eternity if you lie, or kill someone, or steal in order to do the right thing? I think we all know it's common sense that these are bad things. I hate that a politician is seen as "Satan's helper" if he doesn't believe in God. The church has people programmed to think the country will just burst into flame if an atheist or a Buddhist were to step into the White House.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to bash anyone's religion here. I just believe there's a section for religion in this country and a section for politics, of which neither should ever intertwine. Yes, we have freedom of religion, the church can practice what it wants and say what it wants, but controlling other's lives because of what they want is overriding the most basic principle of our country: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I won't be happy to have a bunch of people who believe in something I don't tell me how to live my life. Bottom line: the church, or any other religion for that matter, needs to keep their hands away from legislation in this country.

My vacation is going great! I'm getting lots of R & R -- Raunch and Relations!! While waiting for my guests to join me at my pool party... well, I got tired of waiting! I decided to give the frat boys in their rooftop pool down the hill a show! First I teased and stripped out of my new shiny blue bikini until my tits were floating naked in the warm water. Then my fingers started wandering, and ended up deep in my pussy! I don't think I heard the doorbell, because when I was done there was a bunch of people waiting to hand me a drink! :)

Aubade – n. a morning love song.
One of Aubade's claims to fame is that they started marketing lingerie as an item of pleasure, at a time when underwear was seen as functional. That was the 1960s, though Aubade's history goes back much further than that, and since then the idea of lingerie for pleasure's sake has become so ingrained we wouldn't even question it. For Aubade the concept is also deeply tied to the brand's birthplace: France. Whatever it is about the French way that so seduces and romances the rest of the world, we may not have a singular adjective to describe it, but it's wound up in every fibre of every top tier French lingerie brand. It's a kind of seductiveness that's as effortless as it is glamorous.
Aubade's fall 2012 look book, which stars Dutch beauty Dioni Tabbers, carries on the tradition of beautifully made pieces that retain their classicism while bending to meet current trends. High waists rejoice in the current love of all things vintage, an excuse for figure-flattering pieces that channel old world glamour. Lace is timeless in bodysuits, bras, even a bow-tie. Keeping visual cues of the brand's heritage is the Parisian backdrop: iconic French canals and the looming spire of the Eiffel Tower are a constant reminder of Aubade's catch-cry: French Art of Loving.

Partha Sinha, TNN Don't base your plans on immediate past as the financial environment constantly changes Financial planning and investing is done to have a secured financial future , and it is done looking ahead. Unfortunately for a large number of investors, the first question while starting a financial plan is not what or which assets will perform better going ahead. Usually, the first question is which stocks, or products, performed better during the previous one year. So, while the investor is planning for the future, he/she is more intent on knowing what happened in the immediate past — a perfect example of trying to take financial decisions looking at the rear view mirror. This is also true for investing in mutual funds. And that's one of the main reasons why you read the caveat on any mutual fund-related literature: Past performance may or may not be sustained in the future.
