I built two of them and with 3 full double deeps it does rock slightly so I do not think you will get enough strength, especially on the cross pieces. 3 hives with double deeps and 3 med. supers would be pushing 800-1000 lbs (~70 per deep and 50 per super). I would not recommend this.

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this thread. Getting my first bees this spring and now I know how to build my stands and be ant proof from the get-go! This has saved me a ton of research. Thanks!
Here's the wood dowel version hard at work in December. (The girls are going after Eucalyptus).
December flow.jpg
Okay Charlie, I made 4 dowel rod stands. Now I am looking for the grease. Will any grease due? It looks like the grease is white in your pics. You said, hi temp grease? What did you use and where did you get it, please?
Here ya go GM, Master Pro high temp disc brake and bearing grease. It keeps it's consistency in hot or cold weather. I like to rest the hives over my grease cups to protect them from excessive temperatures and rain.
Ant Proof Hive Stand Grease.jpgModified ant proof2.jpg
Thanks Charlie, you rock.
Very cool Charlie. I will have to modify my stand later. for now I used Ant Block under my pond liner. Knocked out 2 fire ant hives, bees can't get to the block.
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
You Texan's have huge ants there! How many hives do you have now? Is that tree colony still alive and kicking?
The most vicious ants we have are small fire ants, they'll eat bees, larva and beekeepers too. I poisoned em with Amdro antblock, but under pondliner on hive area perimeter to keep bees out of it. Worked.
5 hives. The bee tree bunch were too hot, moved them to a 10-frame at the back of the lot, and I finally caught and killed the queen (cordovan colored) about august, I took out all the queen cells and replaced with vsh eggs and larva, decided they'd failed at queen making, bought them an italian queen, who I found on the front step a week later when their queen from a hidden cell hatched and threw her out. She didn't live long. In other words, I got a LOT of experience.
2 VSH hives from nucs, 1 VSH hive from the queen I bought for the hot hive when I couldn't find their queen, 1 VSH hive from the hot hive's requeen (my weakest right now) and 1 cutout hive that I never requeened because they have done quite well. I know where there are 2 cutouts sitting, have rebaited the empty beetree. Will put out some more bait hives but mainly around here. The ones I had at a distance didn't do so well for whatever reason. Probably I put them out too early last year and the LGO was gone by swarm time.

Nice Gypsi, sounds like you're on your way to a nice honey harvest. I hope you don't have another dry spell again this coming summer. Keep those entrances reduced to combat the robbers!
Oh Charlie, it's going to be dry, but thanks for your good wishes.
But with 5 hives and as much planting as I'm doing for them, I stand a chance at a small honey harvest. All entrances reduced. And I feed inside the hive now, no more Boardman Feeders. Half a bottle of HBH left over from 2011 - is it good for anything?

Here's a Bay Area Beekeeper who liked my design and is building a stand to accommodate a large number of hives.
Commercial Ant Proof Hive Stand.JPG
I built two of the modified stands so far. 4 feet between the wooden dowl rods were too far for heavy hives. The 1x4 sagged in the middle. The next one's I build I will place them 3 foot apart and use 2x4's for the top plate. I have high hopes for these stands as I will have more nucs and hives to put on them. I battled ants all last summer. Big one's, little ones, and some in between.. The cost ended up beeing about $55.00 each for 8 footers.
I should have explained that part better. The 1x4 section was for nucs only, sorta like a nursery area. For regular hives a 2x6 standing on edge is ideal.

Charlie - We have the same problem here in Angels Camp - Is the grease what prevents the ants from moving upward? Did you just sink the pipes into the ground or are the anchored by cement or something....I'm concerned about pivoting and the nature of the soil; in this area, is red clay with rocks everywhere - We are running 8 frame supers -
I pounded mine two feet in but the soil is very stable with no rocks. It's better to anchor them in concrete though. If you have a rocky surface, you'll have a hard time pounding the pipe in straight so it's better to just dig holes and concrete in.
Yes, the grease is what keeps the ants from climbing up into the hives.

How to Unite Egypt, Hamas, Israel Against a Common Threatthe Editors
Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Hamas's ambitious demands for a cease-fire make clear that it will continue to sacrifice more Palestinian lives rather than stop fighting with the Israeli military.
Each hour of bloodshed that passes raises the odds that Israel will invade the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, greatly increasing the stakes of the hostilities. So far, in an exchange of air and rocket attacks, three Israelis and about 100 Palestinians have died. When Israeli forces last conducted a ground assault on Gaza in 2008-9, 13 Israelis and more than 1,300 Palestinians were killed.
Israel's effort to limit strikes to Hamas members and facilities is already falling short. Targeting a Hamas communications antenna, Israel also destroyed journalists' offices over the weekend. Gaza officials say a third of Palestinian fatalities have been women and children. For its part, Hamas makes no effort in its rocket and mortar attacks on Israel to avoid civilian losses.
Egypt offers the best hope for securing a cease-fire, given its ties to both Israel and Hamas. Hamas sprang from the Muslim Brotherhood, whose Freedom and Justice Party rules Egypt.
Why would anyone expect Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi, who has come out solidly on the side of Hamas, to help? For one thing, he faces the same threat that confronts not just Hamas but also Israel: the surge among Salafis, Islamists more extreme even than Hamas.
Creating Havoc
The current conflict was sparked by the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israel from Gaza, mainly by Salafis. Since the collapse of authority in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula that accompanied President Hosni Mubarak's fall, Salafis have created havoc there as well, killing 16 Egyptian border soldiers in August. Hundreds of illegal smuggling tunnels between Gaza and Sinai have enabled Salafis to come and go between the two areas and to easily move arms into Gaza.
Fearful that the Salafis would steal its mantle of resistance, Hamas increasingly disregarded the de facto cease-fire it had observed with Israel since the 2008-9 incursion. Its fighters began to take part in rocket and mortar strikes; its security forces turned a blind eye to attacks by other groups.
Mursi, on the other hand, has opted to get tough, cracking down on Salafi violence in Sinai after the deaths in August. Even if he were prepared to put up with Salafi lawlessness, he would have to contend with an Egyptian military establishment that certainly is not.
What's more, Mursi knows that to stay in power he and the Freedom and Justice Party must win elections, and they will only do so if Egypt's economy improves. Inflaming the conflict by encouraging Hamas could put that goal at risk. The country relies on the European Union for $6.3 billion in annual assistance and on the U.S. for $1.5 billion in annual aid, $1 billion in debt forgiveness and support for a $4.8 billion International Monetary Fund loan. Working to end the fighting could earn Mursi considerable goodwill.
So how might Egypt broker a cease-fire? To begin, Mursi and his deputies should explain to Hamas officials what is off the table. Hamas has demanded that Israel end its restrictions on what enters and leaves the Gaza Strip. This is an audacious request, coming days after Hamas for the first time deployed rockets capable of reaching Israel's major cities, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Hamas says it built the rockets and launchers; much more likely, they were imported from Iran.
Second, Hamas wants a guarantee that Israel will no longer target its leaders, such as security chief Ahmed al-Jabari, who was assassinated Nov. 14 by Israel. In any agreement, Israel will surely retain the freedom to choose its response to Hamas aggression. And Israel has no reason to stop the violence before Hamas, especially given that Hamas was the provocateur.
Avoiding Destruction
What would Hamas get in a cease-fire? For now, it would avoid an Israeli invasion and the death and destruction that would go with it. The longer play would be to align Egypt, Hamas and Israel against the Salafis and restore the relative stability that existed before the rise of the ultra-extremists.
Egypt would have to get serious about finding and closing the Gaza-Sinai tunnels. Hamas, which taxes tunnel commerce, won't like that. Yet if weapons and terrorist smuggling can be cleaned up, eventually Israel could be coaxed into regularizing Gaza's borders, a goal that Hamas supports because it would encourage economic activity.
The Egyptians will also need to counter the Salafi threat in Sinai itself. The Israelis have already allowed Egyptian deployments in Sinai beyond the limits specified in the Egypt-Israel peace treaty. They could help more by temporarily lifting troop restrictions. To stanch Salafi recruitment, Sinai needs economic rehabilitation, too. U.S. and European donors should support job-creation efforts in agriculture and tourism.
Beating back the Salafi threat offers a chance to return to an imperfect but preferable status quo. The choice is up to Hamas, to accept help against its internal foe or face another debacle in Gaza.

Where Reagans, Bob Hope Slept in Annenberg Home: Travel
The man who sold TV Guide for $3 billion didn't let guests staying at his winter home watch television.
There were plenty of other diversions at Sunnylands, the California desert retreat of Walter Annenberg and his second wife, Leonore. The 200-acre estate in Rancho Mirage, California, a two-hour drive east of Los Angeles, features a 9-hole golf course, 11 lakes and a game room. It was a place of rest and relaxation for seven presidents. Frank Sinatra and his fourth wife, Barbara, were married there in 1976.
Regular folk can now get a glimpse of this prestigious playpen. The Annenberg family, which runs the home on behalf of a $300 million trust established for its care, opened Sunnylands to the public in March 2012. The tours provide a window on the good life in mid-century America as well as a portrait of a couple who were masters at entertaining and, to some extent, control freaks.
The 25,000-square-foot house was designed by architect A. Quincy Jones in a Mayan-inspired theme, with a temple-like roof ornament and lava rocks on the exterior. Inside it's all open-space, pink marble and glass, better to take in the views of the nearby San Jacinto mountains.
The Annenbergs were noted for their collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist art. The Monets, Gauguins and van Goghs were given to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art after Walter's death in 2002. Reproductions on canvas grace Sunnylands's walls.
Bob Hope
The pair also threw a heck of a New Year's Eve party, one where you might find Jimmy Stewart playing the piano or Bob Hope breaking into the old soft shoe. Ronald and Nancy Reagan attended 18 times.
The Annenbergs knew how to take care of their guests. Furniture was low to the ground to make short people's legs appear longer. Breakfast orders were delivered in bed to women and left on the desk for men.
A microphone at an outdoor bird feeder piped real tweets throughout the home. Notes in the kitchen told the help -- the staff totaled 50 when the Annenbergs were in residence -- not to serve cocktails to men in the Baccarat crystal. A toilet in the projection room ensured that the operator never had to leave when a film was playing.
The main house at Sunnylands has just one bedroom, a master suite that is now reserved for the U.S. president. Additional quarters boost the property's sleeping capacity to 22 people.
Walter Annenberg served as President Richard Nixon's ambassador to the U.K. from 1969 to 1974. A wall in the home's "Room of Memories" is filled with Christmas cards from the Queen Mother. Leonore, who died in 2009, was President Reagan's chief of protocol.
Racing Form
Walter Annenberg took over the family publishing business, which included the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Daily Racing Form, after his father, Moses, went to jail for tax evasion. Walter launched Seventeen magazine in 1944 and TV Guide eight years later, selling them to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. in 1988.
Sunnylands has been a hot ticket. The $35-a-person tours (Thursday through Sunday except July and August) are limited to seven guests at a time and sell-outs are frequent.
In keeping with the Annenbergs' vision of the site as a sanctuary for world leaders, the trust hosts retreats where issues such as U.S.-Mexico relations are discussed.
As a pillow in the Reagans' favorite "Yellow Suite" reminds, however, "Superior people never make long visits."

My Grandfather, He started bee keeping around the end of WW2 in Scandinavia/Baltic coast, starting with a Warre like TB hive and eventually adding frames then going to Langstroth like hive in the late 70's. It wasn't his primary income, he was a fisherman till he retired in the 80's, but always had bees and now while he turns 91 next week he still has a hive, just for fun now. What more could you aim for?
Brother Adam
i haven't found the 'one', but i am thankful for the wisdom shared by several of those already mentioned here.
i especially follow the advice of 'let the bees teach you.....'.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
After a year back with the bees, and looking for a direction, I am settling in on 5 over 5 nucs modeled by Michael Palmer. My one year goal is to have 150-200 going into next winter.
Mel Disselkoen is also a role model. I've used his OTS notching technique with good results. Fast, easy, and even an old blind guy can do it!

Sorry not really a book beekeeper. I send most my time in the hives, and get a little time to read on here from time to time. Gotten good at honey producing, and maybe one day I will relearn keeping bees.
I got the honeybee bug from spending summers with my Grandfather. His Grandfather kept bees too. More recently, I've gotten a lot of great advice from people on this forum and others. I'm really excited to try more of Mike Palmer's ideas around nuc management, and to mix in some of my own ideas along the way. If I figure out anything good, then I'll be happy to bring it back to this forum to share it.

AG Calls Martin Killing an 'Unnecessary Shooting'
WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday called the killing of Trayvon Martin a "tragic, unnecessary shooting," and said the Justice Department will follow "the facts and the law" as it reviews evidence to see whether federal criminal charges are warranted.
In his first comments since the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Martin case, the attorney general said the 17-year-old's death provides an opportunity for the nation to speak honestly about complicated and emotionally charged issues.
He said the nation must not forgo an opportunity toward better understanding of one another.
On Sunday, the Justice Department said it is reviewing evidence in the case to determine whether criminal civil rights charges would be brought.
The department opened an investigation into Martin's death last year but stepped aside to allow the state prosecution to proceed.
Holder said, "We are ... mindful of the pain felt by our nation surrounding the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., last year." The attorney general's characterization of the killing drew strong applause from the audience at the 51st national convention of the Delta Sigma Theta, the nation's largest African-American sorority.
"Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally charged issues that this case has raised," Holder said.
"We must not - as we have too often in the past - let this opportunity pass," he added.
"I hope that we will approach this necessarily difficult dialogue with the same dignity that those who have lost the most, Trayvon's parents, have demonstrated throughout the last year - and especially over the past few days," said Holder. "They suffered a pain that no parent should have to endure - and one that I, as a father, cannot begin to conceive."
The Justice Department says the criminal section of the agency's civil rights division, along with the FBI and federal prosecutors in Florida, are all continuing to evaluate the evidence generated during the federal investigation, plus evidence and testimony from the state trial.
The NAACP and others are calling on the Justice Department to file civil rights charges against Zimmerman. Thousands of demonstrators from across the country protested the jury's decision to clear Zimmerman in the shooting death of the unarmed black teenager.
Also on Monday, the White House said President Barack Obama won't involve himself in the Justice Department decision on whether to pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman. White House spokesman Jay Carney said it would be inappropriate for Obama to express an opinion on how the department deals with Zimmerman.
Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, called the verdict "a travesty and miscarriage of justice" and urged the Justice Department to bring criminal civil rights charges against Zimmerman.

Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM mounted on Canon EOS 5D Mark III : Tests and Reviews
Further readings for the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM
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.
In Part 2 of our best lenses for the Canon EOS 5DS R review, we're looking at the best optics for travel, wildlife, portrait and event photography. Whether you're looking for a versatile zoom for weddings, a prime for the best quality portraits, or a professional sports and wildlife lens, we've got all the data you need. So let's analyze the scores in five different categories — short telephoto prime, long telephoto prime, "fast" telephoto zoom, "slow" telephoto zoom, and super-zoom — to discover the best-performing lenses in each group.
Launched side-by-side, the EOS 760D and EOS 750D (a.k.a. T6s and T6i in North America, respectively) share a lot in common, including the same high-resolution 24.2-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor, complete with Canon's Hybrid CMOS AF III for fast and accurate focusing. We've put the two models through our lab tests, along with a wide range of native and third-party Canon-mount lenses. Read on to find out how these models perform.
In Part 2 of "Best lenses for the EOS 7D Mark II," we're looking at the performance of primes on Canon's flagship APS-C sensor.We've analyzed over 300 fixed-focal-length lenses on the EOS 7D Mark II, including own-brand Canon EF and EF-S lenses that are designed specifically for use on the Canon APS-C sensor. Covering a range of third-party alternatives as well, our comprehensive analysis will help you pick out a prime, whatever your photographic needs.
With a full-frame 18-Mpix CMOS sensor and twin Digic 5+ processers that's capable of continuous bursts of up 12 fps – the fastest of any professional DSLR currently - the Canon EOS-1 Dx is the firm's flagship press camera. We've assessed it with over 100 EF mount lenses, to see how well they perform. Read on to find out which models are the best optically and which, if any, you should avoid.
After reviewing the Nikon mount ZF.2 version of the Zeiss Sonnar T* 2/135 we've now analyzed the Canon ZE mount model. Read on to find out how well it performs.
16 years on from its launch the Canon EF 135mm f/2L prime is still going strong and available to buy brand new today. With a wide maximum aperture, useful telephoto focal length and good build quality it offers some attractive features. Costing $1,000 however it's at the expensive end of the range for a standard telephoto prime. So with newer, fresher and cheaper competition coming on to the market all the time is this old-timer still relevant?
Canon's EF 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens blurs images and reality – on purpose. With just a flick of the wrist and lens, the 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus allows photographers to have a "softfocus" in their images. The effect produces a blur and halo throughout the photograph. But how clear are the lens' images when you take away the blur?

Canon 135L
"... the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM is noticeably sharper." (than the 135L)
This just shows how meaningless your new metric is. Your own measurements do not show any noticeable difference. There is almost none here: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=108&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=756&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=2
Also, comparing 85 and 135mm can be tricky. For the same background blur, you need f/1.4 at 85mm vs. f/2 at 135mm (same physical aperture). The 135L is then really sharper, much less PF/LoCA.
BTW, nobody buys the 135L for sharpness - not that it is not sharp. It has gorgeous bokeh. Your "second hand" recommendation is really stupid.

Re: Canon 135L
Sharpness has nothing ado with depth of field....
And even wide open, or at least at f2 central sharpness on the Sigma is quite impressive.
So yes the sigma is sharper than the 135L.
It is funny though how people complain about the irrelevance of a sharpness test, while they are actually complaining that their lens is better...
Both are telephoto portrait lens, so that's why DxO compare them.
Sharpness is not the most relevant factor for portraits, that's a given, but DxO does not pretend to test usability or practicality of a lens.
DxOMark tests resolving power, vignetting, light transmission and so on.
A kind of pure image quality test, be it relevant or not to the application.
If you want field tests and reviews, there are plenty of sources such as SLRGear, DPReview, photozone.de... and so on.
DxOMark is just a metric...
Added by Socrates | January 14 , 2013
Re: Canon 135L
You missed my point. DXO does not just report data, it makes a conclusion about the value of the lens overall. Then bokeh, f-stop vs. FL, etc., are primary factors.

Data released in a new report by the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF) attempts to underscore the significance of hunters and anglers to the Colorado and national economies. Information from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's 2011 National Survey of Fishing Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation was used in the CSF report, called "America's Sporting Heritage: Fueling the American Economy." According to the report, the outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen of Colorado spent $1.3 billion and supported nearly 19,000 jobs in the state.
Elk licenses a tough find in Moffat County
With hunting draws completed, leftover hunting licenses are now on sale, but not many are available around Craig. In many game management units around Colorado, leftover licenses were still available in plentiful supply for bears, deer and elk as of Aug. 22, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife reports. Hunting tags for elk in GMUs around Craig, however, have been scarcer. Local licensing agents have been selling tags, but not at the rate they are accustomed to, some said. Leftover tags went on sale Aug. 14 and several area licensers made sales the first couple days, but have been mostly dormant since.

Niche receiver? How about this play - lined up wide TD in double coverage against a physical CB.
...But I guess some people will always compare him to the 32 year old 5'9 on a good day Welker who can only jump 30 inches...
Welker are two completely different players that both possess quickness.
Not saying Cruz is David Tyree by any means, but showing two plays he had in the same year is not gonna change the case that he is a excellent slot receiver, but not a great all around receiver.
You mentioned how Rice could jump higher than Cruz before but it's doubtful given that Cruz has measured one of the best verticals in the league at WR at 41.5 inches. That's higher than almost all of the so called "elite" outside receivers. I can post another 5 videos of Cruz making circus catches in traffic but why even bother?
What's consistent if 2600 yards in two seasons isn't? Calvin Johnson even disappeared in games at times and had 4 TDs less than Cruz. I think we'd all like to have our players make every play but it just doesn't work like that :/.
Please do not compare the best receiver of all time to Cruz, don't be ridiculous. Rice had amazing worth ethic and Cruz can not even be compared to him. Cruz had 500 yards in 11 games this season, only had multiple touchdowns once vs the Browns. Come on, to compare him to the best receiver of all time is so far fetched.
Rice was a better blocker, had the best work ethic in the history of the NFL, he had a sort of style of play that Cruz had but was better at it by far. He was consistently covered by the best corners in the NFL and could find holes all the time. He was a lot more reliable than Cruz, I wish Cruz was half the player Rice was but there's a long way to go lol.
Is Cruz a excellent slot receiver? Yes. Should he get payed? Yes. He is not elite, and he shouldn't be compared to Jerry Rice when he had 2 seasons in the NFL and proved he couldn't put up similar numbers when he was the #1 consistently.
I don't know another person who'd say Cruz is comparable to Jerry Rice.
Rice was quicker, more reliable, and made space for himself to catch the ball, hence being physical. Cruz runs underneath patterns and the D pays more attention to Nicks who goes deep, and payed more attention to Manningham also. Cruz finds space, and he does a great job at it, Rice made space for himself when he needed to.

Business tycoon Elon Musk, 41, founded his own rocket ship company, Space X, in 2002. Since then, the company has launched two successful unmanned missions to the International Space Station (ISS) with his Falcon rocket and his Dragon spacecraft.
The ISS, a giant orbiting structure in the sky, is a partnership of many countries, including the United States. The station was built in 1998 and its first permanent crew arrived in 2000. Since NASA retired its shuttles last year, only Russia, Japan, and Europe have been transporting cargo to the ISS. The Space X missions marked the first time a company—instead of a government—made a delivery to the space station. Space X will continue to carry cargo to and from the ISS for NASA. Ultimately, the company plans to carry astronauts there as well.
Musk has his sights on more than the stars. He wants to transform life for the better right here on planet Earth. He helped create SolarCity, the leading provider of solar power to homes in the U.S. He also heads Tesla Motors, a company that designs and manufactures electric cars. The company's ultimate goal is to find a way to produce more affordable electric vehicles.
Musk's most ambitious idea yet may be for a high-speed mode of transportation called Hyperloop. Passengers board aluminum pods that are shot through steel tubes at about 800 miles per hour. The 380-mile trip within California, from Los Angeles to San Francisco, would take about 35 minutes in the Hyperloop. A startup company is beginning to raise funds for the $6 billion project.
Don't expect Musk to stop dreaming big anytime soon. "I believe in working super hard and not giving up," Musk told TIME. "As long as I can see a path to success, I'll keep going."
For making it his life's mission to shape the future and change our world for the better, Elon Musk is a nominee for TFK's 2013 Person of the Year.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — The state's pool of money to pay for ongoing construction projects is running dry, and Louisiana is teetering so close to its debt ceiling that there's little room to borrow more to replenish the fund, officials said Thursday.
Without a new infusion of cash, Louisiana is projected to run out of money to pay for college building repairs, economic development projects and state-funded road work in about four months, said Whit Kling, director of the State Bond Commission that oversees construction borrowing and state debt calculations.
State senators heard the troubling news of the latest money problem in a briefing about Louisiana's finances by Sherry Phillips-Hymel, the chamber's chief budget analyst. She told senators that the capital outlay fund is "very, very low."
"The fund is broke. The fund does not have sufficient cash resources, and without a change in the legislative statute, there's no way to issue additional bonds," Kling, who watched the Senate briefing, said after the meeting.
The state can borrow money to pay for construction projects through bond sales to investors, with the debt paid off with interest over several years. But Louisiana has a constitutional limit on debt, and the state is $22 million from hitting its $605 million debt ceiling, Phillips-Hymel told senators.
Kling said that leaves the state little capacity to issue new bonds to replenish the construction fund. He said the state could borrow enough money to cover about four additional months of construction work before hitting the debt cap.
Among the options available, lawmakers in the upcoming regular session could seek to exclude certain types of debt from the calculation of the cap, change the limit or vote to breach the ceiling. Phillips-Hymel said each proposal would require a hefty two-thirds vote.
A limit enacted in the early 1990s requires that the state's annual debt-repayment requirements fall under 6 percent of the state's yearly income from taxes, licenses and fees. The state has never exceeded the limit, and Kling said lawmakers have never voted to spend above the cap.
A spokesman for Gov. Bobby Jindal's Division of Administration wouldn't say Thursday what the Republican governor will recommend to keep the dollars for construction work from running out. But Michael DiResto said the administration won't seek a legislative vote to breach the debt cap.
"We will live within our means and we will look for opportunities to achieve savings so that capital outlay projects can continue to move forward," DiResto said in a statement.
He also blamed the treasurer's office for offering past inaccurate guidance on borrowing limits.
"It's important to note that the treasurer's office previously advised that the state had more money to borrow than was actually available. They have recently corrected their calculations," DiResto said.

I've always liked big boat cars. You know, the ones with aircraft carriers for hoods, a pre-requisite 4500-5000 base curb weight, and of course, motored by that vainglorious configuration of a vee and an 8.My first car was a Lincoln Town Car, and while it was hampered by smog-serpent technology and a three-speed automatic, the old 302 really did get the old girl moving smartly.Well...in this day and age of engine downsizing and supposed enviro-conscious car shoppers, I must confess that old habits die hard with me.The Bentley Brooklands is a rolling anachronism. But it is still cooooool daddy-o. Check it: 5,850 pounds light, and a EPA esitmated 11 mpgs in the city (and it will be probably less), powered by an ancient OHV 6.75L, twin-turbo V8 engine pumping out 530 hp and 774 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine traces its roots to the 1950s and the Packard Company.And it gets this behemoth moving to 60 mph in 5 seconds. Wow, dudes. Wow. This car rocks. If only I had $340K to buy one. I would so wear old man Docker shorts, a Hawaiian print shirt buttoned down three buttons with a gold necklace, and have my system pumping out Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" EP's in love...
^^^ LOL!!!I could probably go as fast as my xD can go... and still get better gas mileage than that!!!HAHAHAHA... jkbut I do think that is a sexy car EP!but i would the Bentley GT first...
-----------------how does it stay so small and skinny when it has single handedly eaten all those fat muscle cars?"I don't want the world, I only want what I deserve!"
I like it because it blends the classic with the modern
That is a great car. I've always been a bigger fan of flying B than of RR.
Me too...Bentleys are for the rich old fogy's that have a lot of Grey Poupon in their shorts. And Rusty...DUDE!!! I should slap you for saying that. Seriously. And the GT is cool...but it is just so...common now. May as well be a Corolla.
I wouldn't got that far EP! I'll never forgive my uncle if he leaves his 89 Bentley to one of his kids instead of me :P
And how about that interiror
^^^That interior is scrumptious. And Matt...I was only talking of the new GT...they are waaaay too common...there are a lot of them even here in cow-town Bakersfield!
Oh yeah...and the hood ornament is a MUST.
Bentley. hmm...I love English cars. I really do. However, there's something about Bentley these days that does not seem to emanate the Old World aura that Bentleys of old used to. Perhaps they have been tainted by English footballers, and a rather idiotic Hollywood. Or perhaps I'm spouting rubbish...

That Brooklands is as British as a Volkswagen can be. Ok that's cruel, especially considering that Vickers developed the chassis and it uses the old-school V8. Still, I can't help but wonder if the next-gen big Bentley coupe will be as charming as this one. As nice as the Continentals are, they're still a wee bit antiseptic for my liking.

Does a woman with stage IV breast cancer hoping to die in her Korean homeland belong on the no-fly list? Earlier this week, Seattle-based Northwest Cable News reported that Korean Air had barred Crystal Kim from flying out of Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport over the weekend — even though Kim presented clearance from doctors and was traveling with her daughter. Ms. Kim has rebooked with Delta and is hoping to make the flight today.
Editor's Note, May 13, 2011, 11:35 a.m.: MSNBC reports that the Kims did indeed fly yesterday, and that Delta upgraded them to first class.
Korean Air technically has the right, as do all air carriers, to deny passengers if they're determined to be too sick to fly. The airline said it feared Crystal could die onboard and traumatize other passengers.
Here's the video report from Northwest Cable News:
While Ms. Kim's sad story may have something of a positive outcome, you may or may not be surprised at who — and what — else has issues getting airborne:
– Bulldogs: Delta announced in February that it would no longer carry American, English and French bulldogs. As the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported, it seems that a disproportionate number of these flat-snouted, respiratory-issue-prone canines were dying in flight.
– Pregnant Women: Not all policies are the same, but most airlines restrict women in late-stage pregnancy from flying without a note from a doctor, a special examination from an obstetrician, clearance from an airline's special assistance team or all of the above. There's often a distinction between flying on domestic and international flights, so check individual policies.
– The Contagious or Comatose: While Ms. Kim's disease was obviously not contagious, there are other ill passengers airlines can bar from flying. Those carrying a contagious disease or other infections — flashing back to 2009, H1N1, for instance — should always check carrier rules before boarding. Not surprisingly, an airline can also bar a passenger from boarding if he or she is comatose; passengers must be able to follow emergency procedures.

MotoEagle Surveillance
Motorola Solutions Israel [1] is selling and servicing the MotoEagle Surveillance System, a virtual fences system of radars, thermal cameras and communication, specifically designed to control Palestinian movement in vast "special security zones" surrounding Israeli settlements. Palestinians are barred from these zones, even on private Palestinian land, thus confiscating more land for Israeli settlements.
The system is currently installed in about 25 illegal [2] settlements, including Thko'a, Nokdim, Otniel, Beit Hagai, Eli, Rehelim, Tapu'ach, Mechora, Elon More, Talmon, and the company is still selling more. This system is also used at the illegal Separation Wall [3], the wall around Gaza, and military bases. Motorola Solutions is therefore complicit in the dispossession of Palestinian residents of the West Bank, in the violation of their freedom of movement, and in the ongoing expansion of illegal Israeli settlements.
Other Services to the Military
Motorola Solutions has provided the Israeli military with the "Mountain Rose" communication system, a mobile phone system for field operations, used by soldiers operating in the occupied West Bank. Motorola Solutions has the exclusive contract to provide the military with encrypted mobile phone technology.

I read up on BeeSource earlier this week about ways to melt wax. Since I haven't built my solar melter yet I decided using the double boiler method would be the way to go for now. Here's what I've got so far. I took 8 frames of empty drawn out comb out of my shop freezer. 1 comb has about a 3' round area of capped honey. Some of the comb is newly drawn other combs are the darker brood comb. Some of the comb has wax moth webbing. It's all in the double boiler and there's a nice puddle in the bottom. My questions are these:
1) Some of it is sitting in the melted liquid but doesn't seem to be melting any further. Just give it more time?
2) What's the best way to get rid of all the debris in the mix (pollen, honey, etc.)? Filter through cheesecloth as I dump it into the little molds?
Any other tips for me?

Mother did know best when she told you to eat your fruits and vegetables, according to a recent report aired on ABC News. The story showed how while the consumption of fruits and vegetables has increased significantly over the past decade, only about a fourth of all Americans consumed at least three servings of vegetables daily—the recommended amount for optimum health.
The story was based on a report generated by the Centers for Disease Control's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. They found that only about 26 percent of U.S. adults are eating three or more servings of vegetables a day, which has been shown in study after study to lower risks for stroke, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's disease, and heart disease. Eating the proper amounts of fruits and vegetables each day can also reduce risks for certain types of cancers, eye disease, digestive problems, bone loss, and kidney stones.
Eating vegetables raw showed the most benefit, as they contain biophotons, which are the smallest physical units of light that are stored in and used by all biological organisms on earth. The study also noted that fruits should be eaten more sparingly than vegetables, as they can contain high levels of naturally occurring fructose, which can increase blood sugar levels.

Ambitious Student New to Hacking
I am currently a 17-year-old high school student, intimidated by the oncoming future: college, jobs, responsibility, etc.
I have always had an unruly obsession with computers, starting at the age of five with a brick and a command line. Now I have developed this obsession into a full-blown passion.
My ultimate goal as of right now is to eventually work my way into the NSA' s expert vulnerability analysis / project management group, Red Cell. Far off dream, yes, and many obstacles to overcome before finally realizing that goal, but I am willing to forge myself into a cyber warrior by any means necessary
I do need help. I have a strong understanding of computers, feeble programming skills, a poor mathematical background (incorporated into the computer science field?), and, worst of all, no idea where to begin, even though I do have an A+, Network+, CCNA, and Malware Analysis textbook behind me.
Where/ how did you guys begin your careers / hobbies / passions of being a hacker? What more can I do to get a jump start into the cyberworld of hacking? What basic skills might I need and how do I hone them to the best of my ability? Am I still too young to even enter the field? I have a lot of questions, and I figured professionals like yourselves could point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
~ Akratic

Counting my chickens before they hatch...I am thinking of how I will retrieve "my" first year's worth of honey. I have all Pierco frames (which my bees and I have been very pleased with). I have access to an extractor (about 20 minutes away). I am getting mixed messages about whether the drawn wax can survive an extractor--if it can't wouldn't crush and drain be the best method? I know everyone has their own opinions but all views are welcome. Thanks!
p.s. The only "medications" used are 1 treatment of terramycin and crisco patties with tea tree oil.

In an effort to justify larger cars, the company known for packing 50 gallons of fun in a five gallon bucket is looking at markets that expect bigger buckets. The next step will be the unveiling of a two-door sports crossover at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show in January called the Mini Paceman.
Follow me on Twitter
I like this car, actually. It is a Cooper for people who are tall and have tall friends. I love the athletic flanks with the rake and bulges. I like this far better than the Countryman which I though would be just the best Mini ever.
____________________________Edgy, Controversial, Dangerous...
yeah, I dougth i could fit in a standard cooper :P i need head leg and shoulder room.
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
I don't blame them. Building a successful brand off of tiny cars is a hard task. They've done very well up to this point but expanding their options is wise in my eyes.What kills Mini for me is that their larger vehicles like the Clubman, Countryman and this concept only seat four. What's the point of making the vehicles larger if you still limit the practicality with number of seats?
I agree Kirill - one journalist said " It pairs the inefficiency and bulk of the AWD platform with the inadequate room for people and cargo of the sedan." Brilliant!
I'm a big mini fan. I'm actually in talks to lease a new 2011 mini s and get away from my current mistake. I doubt this would give you much more head room, but I've never seen the head room in the cooper to be a problem. You sit low in them so my taller friends seemed to have room.
I'm not convinced that this thing will have much more headroom than a standard Cooper, but I have never seen that as a problem. I'm just not sure there are that many people out there that want Minis to justify this many models. I guess maybe they are hoping to retain customers rather than gain conquests. I am a big Mini fan, so I hope for the best, but we will see.

materials donated by Freescale Semiconductor
Engineering college receives gift from tech company
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Dec. 14, 2006)--The UTSA College of Engineering received a donation of $10,000 plus equipment from Freescale Semiconductor Inc., a global leader in semiconductor designing and manufacturing.
The company designs semiconductors for wireless, networking, automotive and industrial markets.

"Partnering with universities is a key component of Freescale's ongoing efforts to influence curriculum and help students build experience in preparation for entering today's technical workforce," said Andy Mastronardi, director of the Freescale University Program. "Through this partnership, we see that UTSA is committed to engineering excellence, and we hope this donation provides students with an important foundation needed for their success."
UTSA undergraduate and graduate students in electrical engineering will use the equipment, 26 Freescale microcontroller learning kits, in introductory circuit-design courses.
"We will use the Freescale equipment to help more than 200 students in a variety of areas including robotic construction, alarm monitoring, wireless controls and senior design projects," said Philip Chen, professor and chair of electrical engineering.

This is a recent trade of Option Expert William Chien, if you are interested in speaking to William about his option trading strategies call 07 5504 2244.
(This publication is not providing advice, it is just published as an example.)
FXJ appears to be resting on its long term uptrend line at the $0.72 level before it moves higher again (see below daily FXJ chart).
Hence, I would recommend the following FXJ bull call spread trade to take advantage of a potential rise in the FXJ share price.
Buy 400 May FXJ $0.75 call & Sell 400 May FXJ $0.85 call for a net debit of about $0.02 per spread GTC; costing about $800 in premium (before brokerage)
- Low risk: maximum potential loss = $800 plus brokerage
- No ongoing margin requirement
- High potential profit: if FXJ trades up to $0.85 as per my projection, then we will achieve a profit in excess of $2,000 (see below payoff diagram)
Although the recommended trade size is 400 spreads, client can elect to trade a different size to suit their risk tolerance.
Please ring the Dealing Desk and ask for William on 1300 73 66 22 if you are interested in his Option Trade.

Lebanon may have lost the Davis Cup tie convincingly but in many ways, they were doing well just to be there.
Today's singles matches are dead rubbers, after New Zealand swept the three initial matches, with Dan King-Turner and Marcus Daniell winning yesterday's doubles 6-1 6-1 6-1 to give New Zealand an unassailable 3-0 lead.
The Middle East nation were always going to be unbackable underdogs. None of their players have a single ATP ranking point; all the team have to hold down full-time jobs.
One runs a jewellery store, another works for a business media company. Most play only local tournaments, of a low standard, since there are no ITF events there.
Due to visa issues, their No1 player didn't arrive in New Zealand until Thursday evening, less than 24 hours before the start of the tie.
"It's tough but we learn to cope with these things," says Lebanon team captain Hussein Badreddine. "I think we are the only team of eight countries in this zone where there are no professional players.
Even countries like Kuwait, Syria and Sri Lanka have professional players. Because everybody works, we can only practise at night and on the weekends."
"I work full-time, I coach and then I practise when I can," says doubles player Ibrahim Abou Chahine, who works for Zawya, a business news service owned by media giant Thomson Reuters. "It's a tough situation. Waking up at 6.30am, going to work from 8am to 5pm, then coaching from 6pm to 8pm. Then if you can still stand, you go out and train."
Like most Lebanese players, Abou Chahine plays a series of local summer tournaments (in the evening after work) and then almost nothing for the rest of the year. He "can't remember" the last Futures event he played, estimating it was six years ago at a tournament in Lebanon and he played in qualifying.
"I spent five years in Sydney at university and played a lot of tournaments there - now I am back home and facing reality," says Abou Chahine.
"It's tough. Not many teams arrive without a player and travel with just a captain [no coach or physiotherapist] but we love our country."
Karim Alayli, their No1 player for this tie and most experienced (48 matches), runs a jewellery shop with his father and sister and is set to step down soon, to concentrate on his business.
According to Badreddine, who represented Lebanon as a player between 1992 and 1995 and has been captain or coach ever since, the sport is in good heart, despite the handicaps.
Tennis ranks in the top three in terms of participation and popularity, nestled behind football and basketball.
While we bemoan our current depth, with no male players in the top 200, Bahreddine talks of Lebanese "legends" of the past such as Jicham Zaatini, who reached a career high ranking of 502, or Ali Hamadeh, who peaked at 154 in doubles. Lebanon is ranked third out of 20 Arab countries and 13 out of 35 nations in Asia.
Badreddine left Lebanon as a child with his family during the civil war (1975-90), getting his tennis education in France before returning in the early 1990s. He says the widespread Lebanese diaspora, partly caused by the years of conflict, can be a rich source of players.
"We have had quite a few double nationality players," says Badreddine. "At the moment, [the federation] have told us we might find a player who is in the USA. They said he changed his name but his dad is Lebanese so we are checking. We are not completely sure about his nationality but they promised they will do their best to see if we can catch him. We have heard he is really good, though he is already 27."
Both player and captain ooze with pride about their war-torn but beautiful country.
"We absolutely love our country and that is what makes the difference," says Abou Chahine. "You feel so proud to be here, representing your flag and your people. We don't have a great image but to be honest Tourism Lebanon have done nothing to change this, which is very disappointing."
Before this weekend's tie, the two countries had clashed on three previous occasions. In 1957, a New Zealand side featuring Lew Gerrard, one of the best players in our history, and Jeff Robson (also a national badminton representative) beat Lebanon 5-0 in Beirut.
In 1998, again in Beirut, New Zealand was pushed harder; James Greenhalgh lost both his singles rubbers but current captain Alistair Hunt won both his matches and combined with Greenhalgh for a doubles victory. The most recent clash came in 2006, when Mark Nielsen and Dan King-Turner anchored the hosts to a 5-0 sweep at Albany.

Jensen Enclosed Subwoofer
We have a 2011 LSV with the stock system. MB Quart head unit, 6 spkrs inside boat, 2 speakers on V2 tower and 2 kicker amps. One amp powers the 6 spkrs in the boat, the other amp powers the tower speakers. It sounds fine for our family but its lacking bass. I dont want a big massive thumping sub, just something to give us a little more bass. I saw an enclosed Jensen powered subwoofer online. Its fairly cheap and would be very easy to install. Has anyone used one of these and if so, how did it work? I know it will be nothing like a 10 or 12" sub in a box but I"m not looking for much improvement. Any comments on this???
Jensen MXA6BA 6" Amplified Marine Subwoofer
Bass is going to be determined by surface area and enclosure displacment and power. The woofer is no larger than your fullrange speakers. The enclosure is extremely compact. The power rating has no reference to any standard or reality for that matter.
As an example, this would be good to use in a compact mini pickup truck cabin fit tightly behind the seat and rear wall. It would make a functional contribution to two small fullrange speakers that are driven off the source unit power. That would be balanced with the fullrange speakers, the environment and with your expectations.
But in an open air environment trying to balance with amplifier-driven fullrange speakers, it will be in overdrive (distortion) before it can adequately compete or contribute.
This product application is situational and you have the wrong situation.
You want enough of a subwoofer that it will fill in the bottom octave or two and operate conservative enough that it makes an improvement rather than a distraction.
You could accomplish this with a sealed 10-inch subwoofer and a very moderate amplifier. And you would be happy in the long term.

Thanks for your answer, that makes sense and I was afraid that was the answer I was going to get. When I bought the boat it came with a 10" kicker sub, carpeted sub box and a 1000 watt Boss amp. The previous owner was going to replace the smaller kicker amp with this Boss amp and add the sub to it. I just cant find a spot to put this monster sub enclosure where my kicks wont ruin it. I'm a big guy so I cant see putting it under the steering wheel, I hardly have enough space for my feet as it is. Any suggestions?2011 Mobius LSV
You can get a 10" sub on top of the hump (or in front of it) and keep all your leg room.Dan

This guy said something about cutting down this box? Do you use a full size box for the sub or would you cut it down to make it fit better? Sorry for the simpleton questions, but I am a novice to this audio stuff.2011 Mobius LSV
So you are after that target tuning relationship between a given woofer and a given enclosure. Don't put a bass fiddle string on a violin body. Don't do random. Do it right. It costs the same. If you already own a Kicker 10-inch then most work admirably in a compact enclosure. If you have a model number, Phil with Kicker will give you an exact enclosure size to mate with that model based on the woofer's Thiele/Small parameters (in order words, the woofer's personal I.D. code). Any manufacturer or dealer will provide this same data on their product. You'll thank me later for stressing precision on this.
David is right; if it is worth doing, it is worth doing right.
If you want the simplicity of a single packaged units, I would feel more comfortable buying a Bazooka brand unit. Crutchfield sells Bazooka powered marine subwoofer units in a 8" and a 10", although it looks like the 8" has the better amp. These are fairly compact and simple to wire, but kind of pricey. The MBTA8250D sells for $399, which is twice the Jensen unit.
David is also right on with the advice about the enclosure being very important. My boat had a 8" JL Microsub in it when I bought it, and it was amazing that much sounds came from such a small speaker. JL had engineered that enclosure to optimize the sound of that sub.
Also, make sure to read the fine print. I don't know what amp you have, but the Boss MR1000 "1000 watt" amp, is really only a 400 watt amp. If you have any questions about products or specs, feel free to post them here and we can help you sort out all the numbers.Brian Roberts

Have fun this weekend for a good cause. On October 20 and 21, Build-A-Bear Workshop invites the first 100 people at each of its locations across the country to make a teddy bear—for free. Build-A-Bear will donate the creations to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, which will distribute the bears to children in need this holiday season. The event is part of the Stuffed with Hugs program.
"Every child deserves to celebrate the holidays," says pop star Cody Simpson, who helped kick off the Stuffed with Hugs weekend in New York City. "It is an honor to support this opportunity to encourage kids to help other kids and send a message of comfort and hope through a hug of a teddy bear."
The event will continue until volunteers make 100 bears for the program at each store, more than 25,000 bears total. Find a store near you at buildabear.com.

Moved from the appartment The Chezz to tthe other one due to me aquiring a bad foot and the need to use a whellchair -and consequently a bigger condo. Again Gianluca was very helpful and went out of his way to help me. Although this condo is in a quieter are called cosy beach, you reach the city center in a short ride. The condo itself was very nice, clean and had a nice pool area. You will find everything else you need in the vincinity like restaurants, laundry, family mart and taxi / motorbike services.

Detail of "Nguluwadu: Guardian Spirit Being of the Reef," acrylic on
canvas, by Terry Yumbulul
UTSA Satellite Space shows 'Spiritual Dreaming'
By Ashley Harris
Public Affairs Specialist
(Jan. 30, 2008)--The UTSA Department of Art and Art History will present "Spiritual Dreaming," an exhibit of works by Australian aboriginal artist Terry Yumbulul and local artist Penelope Speier, from Thursday, Jan. 31 to Sunday, Feb. 24 at the UTSA Satellite Space.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
A meet-the-artist opening reception, free and open to the public, is 6-9 p.m, Thursday, Jan. 31.
In the exhibit curated by Scott Sherer, UTSA assistant professor of art and art history, Speier and Yumbulul examine spirituality as a connection to something greater with regard to consciousness of being connected to humanity and the natural world.
In an exercise of possibilities created through juxtaposition, Speier presents bright colors avoiding narrative and symbolic references, while Yumbulul animates traditional patterns and figurative designs in a palette of earth tones.
Both artists have experienced the confluence of Eastern and Western cultures. Raised a Catholic in the United States, Speier now practices Buddhism. From the Northwest Territory of Australia, Yumbulul continues with traditional aboriginal beliefs amidst the Westernization of missionary schools and contemporary Australian life.
Yumbulul will lecture throughout San Antonio through Feb. 11.
The UTSA Satellite Space is in Blue Star Arts Complex Suite 115 at South Alamo and Probandt streets. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are noon-6 p.m., Friday-Sunday, or by appointment. For First Friday, Feb. 1, the monthly gallery open house in the Southtown district, gallery hours are noon-9 p.m.
For more information, contact Connie Swann at (210) 458-4391.

Along Came a Spider
Visitors to the Hermle Open House saw the production of a large version of Delcam's Boris.
The milled and finished aluminum Boris stands about 1.6 feet high and weighs in at about 4.4 pounds.
Visitors to the 2013 Hermle Open House earlier this year were amazed to see a half-meter high Boris being "born" when, after about 20 hours of machining, the supporting residual material was removed from the legs and antennae during the final working stage.
"Boris the Spider" is the Delcam mascot and a feature of the company's logo. Visitors to the well-attended four-day Open House, which took place at Hermle's headquarters in Gosheim, Germany, were able to experience the creation of the giant Boris live. The model was milled on a five-axis Hermle C50U, equipped with a rotary table and Heidenhain iTNC530 control, from a 145-mm-thick aluminum disc, 700 mm in diameter.
The main challenge in the project was in machining its extremely delicate nature despite its considerable size—the finished model weighed almost four and a half pounds. "In order to prevent any deformation of the workpiece, it was necessary to avoid both any overly high cutting pressure and any excessive heat buildup," explained Marcus Warga of Delcam, who was involved in the generation of the highly complex NC program using PowerMill.
With the high risk of collisions during the machining due to the impressive dimensions of the spider, relatively long tools were utilized with a minimum length of 250 mm. This placed particular demands on the programming.
Milling took place on a five-axis basis exclusively, both with positional (3+2) machining and continuous machining. The axis movements when finishing Boris's abdomen demonstrated how precisely the Hermle C50U can work when programmed with PowerMill.
