^ Well Tsunade just got the Dan-loves-you-plot-shield
Though it is questionable how long that will hold considering right now she is the only one who can fight him for a brief time considering she got her chakra back and the other Kages are pretty much empty. - So it might be her trying to protect the Kages till either Naruto or Sasuske arrive?
I dunno, somehow this little seal trick has a smell of shallowness, Madara haxing himself ok, was to be expected I guess, but did it have to be another asspull? Rinnegan would have been more believable ?

It still doesn't make total sense.
A) If Madara knew about this ability to cancel Edo, then maybe he tried to do this himself and get someone to summon him but the plan was abandoned?
B) Why couldn't Tobi take over the summons and keep the beasts (although they're not gone yet)
C) How in the world did Tobi want to start the Ninja War anyway, by himself?
D) How could Itachi not know?
E) THE ONLY REASON Itachi did this was BECAUSE of Madara, that's when he said 'this is bad' and he had to be quick. The other summons were not as strong and being taken care of, Zetsus were fodder. So ITACHI FAILED
F) WTF? I was hoping Madara would find a way, but not this way...but maybe Kishi has an explanation - like Madara was defeated by the first, planned to kill himself and be resummoned to have infinite chakra and ability, but the summoner abandoned that plan or got stopped...and now Kabuto unknowingly did it anyway. Or...was there a special sacrifice for Madara? What if it was YAMOTO! That will truly piss Naruto off.
G) Still waiting for Anko and Kabuto scene...what's going to happen there and will Sas learned that Itachi failed

^eh I didn't say she'll die - I said she got the love-you-live-on plotshield - that admittedly puts her in a bad spot as she has to protect the others - but- oh well screw logic and look at it like this: Kishi didn't even "kill" Madara - so you expect him to kill the Kages?
I wish there'd be some seriousness here but people seem to refuse to die, such are the facts ...
Or to phrase it yet differently, if he'd kill her she would have died now. How lame is it to bring her back via Dan only to kill her 2 chaps later after all? That would be a trollish end for her. Nah, she just got a re-power up to show Madara how the first's granddaughter can live up to her family fame I fear ...

It was expected that Edo-Madara would somehow survive the cancellation of Edo Tensei. Next chapter, Tsunade (with her chakra restored) busts out some new techs, and then eventually Oonoki sacrifices himself so that the kages can defeat Madara.
Interesting that Madara seems to know the ins and outs of Edo Tensei and yet Tobi had to learn about it from Kabuto.

kishi often defies logic. he placed tsunade under a coma for a long time, teased us with the possibility that kakashi would take the hokage mantle in her stead, only to have her wake up the minute it has been decided that kakashi should take her place. what was the logic in putting her in a coma in the first place? what was the purpose? it would have been more logical if she had died since she used up all her chakra healing the wounded of konoha during that pain invasion. she would have gotten a heroic death too. oh well...

Spoiler for OT:
as for Madara knowing Edo Tensei and Tobi not - we do know he lived on after the battle with Harashima so there certainly is a chance he did learn it from observing the second Hokage himself? As for not telling Tobi, there is no logic flaw in that, he would NOT have told him to prevent precisely the situation he now is in from happening, namely Tobi trying to use him as a puppet and thus forcing him to go zombie permanently - he said it himself, he had "no other choice" - I expect him to now be stuck with this Edo Tensei body which in all likelihood was NOT the plan...
If you want to live forever and rule thew world it is rather inconvenient to be forced to rely on somebody rezzing you back from death so you can achieve your goal. Ultimately Tobi probably was a tool to Madara, there must be something more as he trusted him to rinnegan-rezz him one day but that does not mean he trusts him all the way - why should he dish out such knowledge all carefree? Nah, he might have known from some time ago and just kept it to himself, to me the notion of Zetsu kindly sticking it to him sounds a bit too convenient ...

Interesting Chapter... but I don't but as for me, I'm kinda getting tired of Madara, how long will the fight Drag on, he keeps topping himself in uberness. he is slowly becoming a "Aizen" while it is not fun to see the heroes beat their foe easily. it also sucks to see them beat a person that is impossible to defeat, it will seem that much more of an asspull.
Think about about how powerful madara as proven he is, shounen laws dictate by the time he fights sasuke/ and or naruto. he will be even more powerful than that. these guys are already reshaping landscape, can't get more powerful than that unless we get into planet destroyer lvls, and since we haven't seen any alien ninjas....yet...
on another note, I would have liked for dan to kiss "granny" on forehead instead. imo would have been more touching... OK chapter I guess

SGA to host Oct. 24 forum on student-created courses
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Oct. 21, 2005)--The UTSA Student Government Association's Academic Affairs Committee is developing a student-initiated course (SIC) program with the goal of developing an economical alternative to standard offerings and broadening the academic atmosphere.
The committee will conduct a forum from 3 to 4 p.m., Oct. 24 in the University Center Oak Room (2.01.20), 1604 Campus, for students who want to provide input to develop the SIC program.
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
"Our students here at UTSA come from a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences," said committee chairman James Johnson. "For that reason, often the best way we can learn about the world around us is to learn from one another. A SIC program will give students the opportunity to develop and teach a course that may not normally be offered during our experience here at UTSA."
Examples of potential courses include courses taught by international students presenting a personal view of their culture, by graduate students based on research performed for their advanced degrees and by students with unique viewpoints on contemporary issues.
For more information, contact James Johnson at (210) 789-3852 or SGA at (210) 458-4597.

A scam played on tourists in Turkey (mostly in major cities like Istambul). The scam involves enticing a group of men into a bar, usually a basement, with women. Once there the men and women are served drinks. Having drank their beverages, the tourists are presented with a bill for hundreds of dollars. The tourists cannot leave until it is paid. The barmen, the girls, the doorman, and even the police, all get a cut of the profits.
I got (metaphorically) fucked in that Gazino last night. The girl wasn't even attractive. At least, if you're gonna charge me 100 turkish lira for a drink let me drink with a girl who's not pregnant.

Welcome to Christian Reads… (So You Don't Have To) – SEO Edition. This is the first of my bi-weekly'ish ongoing attempt to give you all a quick, hard-hitting blog post that pulls together the best SEO articles I've seen and have been reading the past couple of weeks along with some key observations from each.
Here is a collection of links to other resources on the Web that have to do with SEO that I found interesting. Have any you would like to share? Please add with a comment!
March 2011: Search Market Share By The Numbers
- This was a blog post we put up on April 12th.
- Bing / Yahoo continue to slowly gobble up market share from Google. Google controlled 64.42% of the search market in March 2011. This percentage has been shrinking.
U.S. Google Panda Update, Round 2: Shrinking Demand For eHow
- Updated U.S. figures on how Google's Panda update hurt content farms' search engine rankings.
- Also lists some of the winners from the update that have seen an uptick in search rankings.
- While it was thought eHow escaped many penalties when the update first went live, it looks like eHow was hit pretty hard, losing ~66% of its organic visibility in Google.
- Our neighbors two floors up released their first paid tool – the AboutUs Site Report.
- Check up to 50 URLs and get stats on each page's website visibility – from title tags to whether you're allowing search engines to even index your content.
- Looks to be a great tool to be able to see just how well a web page is fairing from a search engine optimization perspective.
Coming Up First Is Not Accident
- An article at Boston.com that goes into how business can use fair or dirty SEO tactics to gain search engine rankings.
- Interesting tidbit to come out of the article – "A study released in September by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 58 percent of those who were surveyed search the Internet for information on products and services before they buy." Honestly, I could only predict this percentage getting higher and higher.
- Some clickthrough rate percentages depending on search engine rank were hit on. There's a big different in CTR from the first organic position to the fourth.
5 Site Optimization Blunders That Will Kill Your Rankings
- 5 essential ways you can effectively screw up your organic search engine rankings. From duh (don't block search engine spider access to your site) to, our favorite, flash-driven websites.
- Pro-tip – when you have the desire to put a picture of a spider in your blog post due to talking about search engine spiders, holy crickets, please use a drawing or cartoon spider and not the real thing!
Have you read any nice SEO articles recently? Please share!
My personal Christian Reads…
Been reading a book called Johannes Cabal: The Necromancer and I have to say, it's diabolically witty and well worth looking into. A fun except from it:
"Lots of forms. Stacks of forms. An average of nine thousand, seven hundred, and forty-seven of them were required to gain entrance to Hell. The largest form ran to fifteen thousand, four hundred, and ninety-seven questions. The shortest to just five, but five of such subtle phraseology, labyrinthine grammar, and malicious ambiguity that, released into the mortal world, they would certainly have formed the basis of a new religion or, at the least, a management course. This, then, was the first torment of Hell, as engineered by the soul of a bank clerk."

Heres your dilemma: After you run your numbers for your new equipment needs, if say you have 10 hives make it well enough to make your splits from.
You will need so many # of box's, tops, bottoms, and frames.
Now, after you have spent all that money on materials, assembled it all over the winter while you had the time, (Don't forget to put a weather resistant finish on all of it-that takes more time than assembly) what if your winter losses are much higher than you hoped for? You have all this equipment and no bees to put in it?
Or you wait and see how many hives make it, and now in the spring when you should be managing bees you are building equipment?
That is exactly what I did last winter. I build some equipment planning on increases, but was cautious not to make too much. My bees did well + I had the unexpected opportunity to also buy some packages. I was working 14 hours a day working the bees, raising queens, building equipment and then doing all my other normal farm and household work.
It's the unknown factor you cannot plan for that is the hardest. If you spend a few thousand on equipment and get it all assembled, are you willing to buy new bees if necessary to fill them if your bees don't overwinter well? Usually a person needs to order bees very early in the spring, before you really truly know what your winter losses will be.
Or will you wait, then work long hours to make equipment just barley fast enough to stay ahead of the growing hives?
LOL, I went from 7 hives in 2011 to 45 packages spring of 2012-to 120 booming hives, nucs and mating nucs by summer of 2012. An extreme example for sure, but I have been where you are right now.
A crystal ball would be nice
I guess what I am saying is: if you buy and build all that equipment, there is a chance you will have to spend more time or money to fill them if your bees don't over winter well enough to make your increases from them alone. Just be aware and plan for that possibility.
Don't forget the cost of feeding spring and fall. If you want them to grow, you will need to feed well. They may do OK without feeding, but after all that cost and work why not be sure they thrive? That theory cost me another $2000. on sugar and pollen patties. I also spent over $1000. on black rite cell foundation, but after messing with foundationless last year it was a necessary purchase to assure consistantly useable deep frames for the future.
All in all I spent about $12,500. this year on bees, feed and equipment. Way more than I planned. (That includes some honey extracting equipmant)
I bought several 50# bags of Beepro and Brewers yeast to stock up for next year (with the drought in the midwest I expect the price of feed to go up.) My bees relish my homemade protein patties and take them up all year. That cost is minimal and makes me happy they are content and feeding well.
I wanted a certain number of hives and had two choices: Make increases with my own small amount of stock or buy into it. I chose to buy into it for two reasons:
I had sold a filly and had some money to buy the bees, and I am in my 50"s and did not want to wait years to get to where I wanted to be. I should have started beekeeping years ago. This was my next best option. I would have been content with 50 colonies, but as it turned out had some good opportunities to get more bees reasonably (Bee supplier had someone back out of 50 packages after he pick them up) So in my case, my increase plan was doubled suddenly because of opportunitys I did not forsee.
I also wanted to buy my equipment while the dollar still had some value. But THAT is another thread probably not suitable for Beesource.
To make my nucs: I broke up my some of my hives into divided deep four frame nucs..a interior one gallon mann lake feeder and three drawn frames of bees, brood and stores in each. After they took up a gallon of syrup, I replaced the feeder with another drawn frame. I learned to graft queens and used all the nucs as mating nucs. (Not walk away nucs, but giving them a ripe cell or virgin queen hot out of the incubator)
I left some with the best and most prolific queens to grow into strong nucs then larger hives. I sold enough queens to pay for all my new bees and requeened all my older hives. I am going into the winter with about 80 strong, healthy colonies-all with locally mated Northern queens from my best select stock . I'd have more but people begged me for queens in late fall-so I combined a few hives and combined the frames from the mini mating nucs. I raised about 200 queens and by keeping the best queens in the mating nucs and letting them grow, I have more colonies than I planned.
If you have any questions you can PM me for more details. LOL, I learned a LOT this summer..not complaining..I'm tired, but it is all good!
I look forward to a nice rest this winter, but look forward to 2013's adventures and accomplishments.
It will be a while before I have made enough money to make up for all my hard equipment costs, but covering the perishable expense (Bees) this year made me feel good. And my biggest asset: All those beautiful clean newly drawn frames full of stores.
My husbands generosity with his additional financial contributions to my project and his patience with my long working hours was greatly appreciated..although he was a little dismayed at my exausted nature, sweaty disheveled stature and sticky kitchen floor at times.

Great apartment, Ralph lovely and very friendly, very clean, very comfortable and absolutely quiet. highly recommended.
We visited Koln from America for twelve days. We had an amazing vacation, and it was greatly due to this amazing apartment that we were able to stay in.
The apartment is very clean, and tastefully decorated. Very charming. It has every amenity you will need. Plenty of room for guests. Comfortable, clean beds. Spacious common room for our entire family.
The location is excellent. Bus stop right near the front door. Within walking distance of a bakery, a small kiosk, and a full grocery. I enjoyed waking up early each morning, and going for a short walk to retrieve breakfast for my family. The town is quiet, and charming itself.
We had our own entrance into the house, and our own parking spot right in front of the door. We felt safe, and were never bothered. No need to park on the street. Very convenient.
The landlords themselves are so friendly, and helpful. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful home. You made us feel welcome, and cared for.
We all miss Germany, and this wonderful home, already. We had no complaints, and have only beautiful memories of our stay.
Thank you so much!
My partner and I and a couple of friends stayed here for 2 nights when visiting cologne. The apartment was perfect for what we needed. Beautifully presented, well equipped, very clean and only 20 minutes drive (€20 taxi) to the centre of the city. Would recommend to anyone looking for an extremely well priced place to stay in Cologne.
We lived in this apartment during a exhibition in cologne and we
was surprised over the calm and beautiful village (weiss) with two restaurant nearby.
It took approximate 15 min to cologne center with a cab and cost approximately 25€
No problem with the apartment and good quality of the Wi-Fi. special thanks to the nice host and gentleman (Ralf)that took care of our stay.
Stayed in this apartment (house) for 4 nights while visiting with friends and we all were very pleased. The apartment was bright, modern and clean. The kitchen was also fully furnished.
The owner is also very friendly and helpful and the stay was hassle-free.
This apartment is in a perfect location for who wants to be slightly out of a main city but close enough to reach it quickly. It is in walking distance from the river, few minutes drive to the nearest large town and about 20mins drive from Cologne or Bonn.
Highly recommended...
Die Ferienwohnung ist eine sehr schöne und liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und war immer erreichbar. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Tough Mudder chief creative officer shares job tips with law students
March 26, 2013
Since Alex Patterson graduated from law school, his life has taken a twisty route that eventually led to his current job as chief creative officer at Tough Mudder, a rapidly growing company that stages military-style obstacle course events around the world.
His career path is unusual, to say the least, but it started out in a fairly conventional way, when he first got a job as a tax attorney with a big firm in Manhattan, where he worked for two years.
"For me, it wasn't the right fit," Patterson told Wayne State University law students recently.
His talk was the second in a lecture series at Wayne Law on nontraditional careers. Patterson's career today is about as "nontraditional" as they get, and that is the right fit for him.
But back in 2009, the tax work at his law firm "totally dried up" when the market "tanked," and the law firm "basically broke up with me," he said. "I was OK with that. I decided it was an opportunity to really decide what you want to do."
He moved back in with his parents and started looking for a new job.
"I was actively applying, but I was only applying for things I thought I'd really like," Patterson told the law students.
A friend sent him an article about Tough Mudder, a startup company that had staged a couple of events and had two or three employees at the time. Patterson was intrigued. He'd done a mud run in California a few years earlier, and was a long-distance swimmer, a surfer and a triathlete. Working for a "quirky" company that suited his natural athleticism had appeal.
Out of the blue, Patterson sent Tough Mudder's CEO Will Dean, a former soldier with British Special Forces, a letter and a paper on what he thought the company's tax plan should be. The ensuing job interview took place in a park, and in 2010, Patterson was hired as Tough Mudder's in-house counsel for about a third of what his salary had been as a tax attorney in Manhattan.
He looked at the company's liability issues — and when you sign people up to crawl under barbed wire and scale concrete walls, there may be some. He helped Tough Mudder deal with an existing lawsuit (since resolved) in federal court in California. And he helped the company register in different states so it could expand. Along the way, he started dealing with sponsors and sales, and because of his enthusiasm and his insistence that the voice of Tough Mudder be the right voice, he also ended up as the start-line announcer for the 10- to 12-mile events that take participants through mud, muck and assorted obstacles including electrical shocks.
"It was a fun way to get to know the Mudders," Patterson said.
He became the company's chief marketing officer. It was a natural evolution for him, and he spent 2011 building a marketing department.
"Always transition to what you think is your most valuable role," he told the law students.
As the company grew, jobs became more specialized and more employees were hired. Patterson got more involved with "obstacle and event innovation" as a result of surveying the Mudders and paying attention to their comments. He moved into the role of chief creative officer.
"Ninety-five percent of business is marketing, and 95 percent of marketing is having empathy," he said. "The one fundamental thing all good businesses do is ask why. Why do customers like the event? If something goes wrong, why did it go wrong?"
Attorneys, he said, generally need to "become better planners" for themselves and their careers.
By joining "something that was really small and helping it grow," Patterson paved his own career path, he said.
His career advice for law students included:
*Keep your friendships alive. Networking pays off. If a friend hadn't sent him the article about Tough Mudder, he might not be where he is today.
*Consider what it is in your life that you're "naturally passionate about" and find a way to work that into your career.
*Be adaptable and creative, and don't be afraid to move into new roles if they suit you.
"Being an attorney really comes in handy in many, many ways," Patterson said.
Are you tough enough? Join the Wayne Law Tough Mudder team and prove it!
Students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends are invited to join Wayne State University Law School Dean Jocelyn Benson in running through fire, crawling through mud-pits, and scaling walls during Tough Mudder, a 10- to12-mile extreme obstacle course considered one of the toughest and most popular fitness events in the world. Developed by British Special Forces, Tough Mudder was created in 2010 and, since then, more than 700,000 people have participated, raising almost $5 million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Teams of "Mudders" will run a gauntlet of military-style obstacles designed to test their physical and mental limits. Teammates tackle obstacles like the "Mud Mile," "Cage Crawl," and "Electroshock Therapy," and then celebrate at the finish line with drinks and a live band.
Benson will be heading a team of Wayne Warriors in this year's Tough Mudder event on Saturday, June 29, in Brooklyn, Mich. All in the Wayne State community are welcome to sign up. Those interested in joining the team should email email@example.com for registration details by April 11.

I decided I couldn't handle the terrible audio quality from the stock headunit and speakers any longer.
I am in the process of buying the system, but the headunit will be the last piece since it is the most expensive.
After serious contemplation, I decided to go with a single DIN unit. I wanted a large screen, but I didn't want navigation. I use a TomTom and have lifetime map updates, and have very good experiences with it, and I have had very bad experiences with in-dash navigation units. The large screens look great, but without navigation my choices were severely limited, and the reviews were hit or miss.
This is my list of parts.
Headunit: Alpine CDE-HD149BT
Speakers: Polk Audio Mobile Monitor 6501 Components
Amp: JL Audio JX360/4 (Class A/B)
Accessories: Axxess ASWC-1, Axxess AX-SUBUSB, Monster Cable RCAs, and Monster Cable speaker wire.
I plan to do the install myself, and have had experience with it, so it shouldn't be a problem. I plan to mount the amp under the passenger seat, and then mount the speakers and tweeters in the factory locations for a factory look.
I am undecided if I would install a small sub in the future as I am not a bass freak, but I believe this setup will be a significant upgrade over stock.

Assuming we get a third round comp pick for Aaron Ross (just a what-if)
Round 1 Kevin Minter, ILB LSU . Not a lot of depth at the Linebacker position in this draft and this is a glaring need for the Giants. They need to address it early with an efficient and durable football player, like Minter.
Round 2 Datone Jones, DE UCLA . Plays heavy, but carries it well. He is a powerful kid that will be slotted at DE, but played a lot of DT this past season. This will help the Giants with their NASCAR formation.
Round 3a Menelik Watson, OT Florida State . Extremely athletic prospect that was a former basketball player. His inexperience will hurt his stock, but this kid is a great talent and can start at RT.
Round 3b TJ McDonald, S USC . Smooth athlete that reminds me a lot of Kenny Phillips. Speaking of KP, it doesnt appear that the Giants want to keep his services and who knows if Stevie Brown is actually that good. Giants should address this position and McDonald could be an under the radar guy.
Round 4 Jordan Hill, DT Penn State Not flashy, but a fantastic run-stopper. He anchored the Penn State defense this year. Kuhn is recovering from an ACL tear, Austin has shown nothing so far, Bernard is 33 and Joseph cannot do it alone.
Round 5 Kayvon Webster, CB/S South Florida . I have been raving about this kid for a while. He is a beast and can provide help at the corner spot, but also be versatile enough to play some Safety. A good aggressive player.
Round 6 Travis Kelce, TE Under the radar, all around TE prospect that was unable to work at the Senior Bowl due to an injury. He has great size and deceptive speed (just watch the Duke/Cincinnati game). Robinson seems to be too much of a project and Bennett isnt feeling the love.
Round 7 Michael Buchanan, DE/LB Illinois . Before this season, he was regarded as a big time talent and possibly a first round pick. Unfortunately, he did not play up to his potential this season, but he is extremely athletic and could be a nice project for the Giants. He can play the role similar to Kiwi.

Posted by Steve
After a hiatus, there are a number of things to write about. To cover some of what we've missed, let's roll out a Pitchers and Catchers Report Cornucopia of Thoughts (#ThoughtCornucopia).
I might as well address the Ryan Braun thing first, even though I'm already tired of it. All I know is that we don't know if Braun has used anything, and I'm plenty annoyed by people acting like they do (either way). All I know is the only "evidence" to prove him guilty is two pieces of handwritten notes. Additionally, articles like this exist.
It's my personal opinion that a sizeable percentage of MLB players are using some sort of PED, and it's become hard for me to care too much. My problem is the double standard that exists. Todd Helton and Tony La Russa get DUIs, something that literally endangers the lives of others, and they can still be seen as "great baseball guys" or better yet, "great guys." Just watch Todd Helton this season. He won't be booed at opposing parks, yet Ryan Braun will be skewered. And I'm not saying Todd Helton necessarily deserves to be booed—just trying to illustrate this strange hatred of PEDs.
A quick Google search reveals several writers mentioning Braun and Helton in the same article, and even a Baseball Nation article titled "Todd Helton's arrest and Ryan Braun's involvement with Biogenesis." Might as well have been "Poker tips and the mating rituals of lemurs." They're just as similar, and I'm equally uninterested in reading both articles.
Same thing with the BBWA voting nobody into the HOF despite many deserving candidates. Will Tony La Russa have any trouble whatsoever getting into the HOF? Of course not, even though what he did was more harmful, dangerous, and reckless than using PEDs.
The same goes for the crazy double standard that victimizes baseball. The NFL has incredibly lenient testing, while baseball uses freaking blood tests. Yet which sport is seen as having a substance abuse problem?
Anyway, this ended up being less about Braun and more about baseball in general. Hopefully he can avoid a suspension.
The news of the day is the re-tear of Mat Gamel's surgically repaired ACL. You have to feel awful for Gamel, but to be honest, it's likely that this is not a huge loss. The two options that might seem the most obvious are to either let Taylor Green, Hunter Morris, or Khris Davis have the first base job while Corey Hart is out. I have supported letting Taylor Green play third and moving Aramis Ramirez to first base in the past, but I don't see that happening for two reasons: One, Corey Hart should be back by mid-May (don't see them moving Ramirez for just six weeks), and two, the Brewers just don't seem to like Taylor Green that much.
I think it's more likely that we see Alex Gonzalez play first, which is not a pretty thought. Gonzalez as a shortstop is just fine and dandy, but certainly not as a first baseman.
Meanwhile, the Brewers ended up not signing a starting pitcher. While I am a bit surprised, I am not disappointed. If the choice came to either no free agent SPs or three years for Ryan Dempster, I'm fine with no free agents.
The Brewers did make a couple nice, low-risk signings in lefty relievers Tom Gorzelanny and Mike Gonzalez, but relievers are not the difference makers that starters are.
This all goes to my last post, which still holds true a couple months later. The Brewers are very likely not making the playoffs this year. The fact that they are now down to their third string first basemen (and we aren't even sure who that is yet) doesn't make me feel any better than I did a couple months ago. PECOTA projects the Brewers for a 79-83 record and an 18.3% chance of making the playoffs. That sounds about right to me, and in fact, I'd say they have a greater chance of finishing last than first. The awful Houston Astros added a few wins to the Brewers' record last year, but without them in the division there shouldn't be a truly awful team in the NL Central (I actually kind of like the Cubs' starting rotation).
Just because I do not have the same optimism that I had the last couple years at this time doesn't mean there isn't much to look forward to this season. I am anxious to see how some of the young starting pitchers do, I am excited for Jean Segura, and I have hope that Carlos Gomez can build on a career year. And if they are struggling, the trade deadline should be an exciting time. Gomez, Nori Aoki, Ramirez, Corey Hart, and a number of others would all be candidates to be traded.
And finally, just because I don't want this to seem entirely negative, I'm a big fan of the fan-designed uniforms the Brewers will be wearing in Spring Training. The hats are okay, but the uniforms are pretty slick in my opinion. I really like the idea of combining the old logos with the more current colors, which is what I was hoping the Brewers would do a few years ago when they introduced the current retro unis instead.

Anyone else going to the Wisconsin Honey Producers meeting in Waupaca, WI? I am not sure I have enough warm clothes coming from Florida.
Anyone else going to the Wisconsin Honey Producers meeting in Waupaca, WI? I am not sure I have enough warm clothes coming from Florida.
It isn't even cold yet. Just a little brisk at night. When it is cold seeing your breath freeze is just a welcome sign that you are still alive.
On the way into Waupaca, just stop at Fleet Farm, pick up a Green Bay Packer Sweatshirt and Cheesehead hat. You will fit right in and stay warm at the same time. Have a safe trip!
Roger said it, Its not even that cold yet. I just fired up my woodstove today! Toughen up, grow a beard and come on up to say hello.
You are right barely sweater weather.
WHPA put on a good meeting. The WI Honey Queen gave several presentations. The National Honey Board was represented too. I think everyone got something out of the meeting including me. They had a great auction to support the Honey Queen program. There were a lot of great people there.
Wow, cool! Sounds like a good time. Hope you brought some citrus from Florida.
Citrus is no good until the first frost so I am not passing bad fruit. Would you give me cranberries before they are ripe?
haha, good point!
Thanks for your great presentations AmericasBeekeeper! It was great to get together with so many good beekeepers and learn a bit.
Thank you. I would do that again.


text: I have some langs and this year tried one KTH. Next year I would like to try a Waare, which I already have built. How do you know when to add another box on the bottom if you don't open the hive to see what's been built. In my experience, leaving to much space in a hive is an invitation to wax moths so I don't want to add one to early, or to late and cause them to swarm. If you don't look into the hive, what's the magic sign?

I've been using my 301A to FMQ, mainly just stippling. Problem I have is that my foot pedal gets so hot that I have to quit and let it cool off. Should I invest in a different pedal? What is the cause?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I've been using my 301A to FMQ, mainly just stippling. Problem I have is that my foot pedal gets so hot that I have to quit and let it cool off. Should I invest in a different pedal? What is the cause?
I don't know. Mine get too hot too. They're very old. I just go take a break and get back to them.
Those old foot controllers are resistance units. They use wire or carbon pile resisters to control the voltage. When you sew slowly for an extended amount of time, they get hot. I have several like that. I use silicone iron pads between them and my carpet and like barny said, I sometimes have to stop and take a break. Since I usually sew bare foot I can tell pretty quick when they get hot.
About the only cure is to replace the old controller with an electronic unit. They don't get hot at all. But they are amp sensitive so you have to make sure the controller is rated for the same or higher amp rating as the motor on your machine. Also my only real gripe on the electronic units is they are lightweight plastic and tend to scoot out from under my foot. The factory electronic controllers are better made if you can find one.
Joe - could you provide the name of a factory electronic controller? I'd like to get one siince this is my main sewing machine for FMQing and I have lots of quilts to do. Don't want to burn my tootsies!
Well not exactly but most of the machines since the 80s use them. Our mid 80s 4622A has an electronic controller on it. The controller is labeled Singer and it's a bit more substantial than the aftermarket units.
Another idea is to go to you LSMG and see if he'd have a used one. Or an online Singer factory parts source.
Since I have three of these lovely machines, I just switch cords and don't have to stop. LOL I know, that's cheating, but when you are on a roll, who wants to quit?
You can get older, but you never have to grow up! Tomorrow's just a future yesterday!-Greg Fergerson
As an aside, back when these machines were in regular household use they were probably not used as much for FMQ and so there wouldn't be this situation happening. As others have said, take a break from the machine.
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
Joe - Put a piece of velcro on the bottom of the foot, cut a piece of wood to size, put the other part of the velcro on that, and stick the two together. Maybe a little felt on the bottom to save the floor. Velcro lets you move one board from pedal to pedal.
Stitch124 - Hot is "ok", obviously not desirable, unplug it and let it cool then it will be fine to use but if it ever starts making popping sounds, unplug it immediately and don't use it until it's properly repaired.
It means the pedal is adjusted wrong and it may start a fire. I've had 3 now that have done it. The first one was before I started seriously working on machines. Scared the beans out of me. The second was about 3 weeks ago, on a featherweight I went to look at. The machine started humming as soon as it was plugged in, and after a few seconds, started sewing by itself. Within about 2 minutes, it was popping and fizzing. Yes, I brought the poor lady home. The last one was this week. I took it completely apart, cleaned every carbon disk, and reassembled. It's a nice "mildly warm" running pedal now.
Mine has gotten hot too and I discovered that where I was using it it was resting on thick pile carpeting. Once I took it off the carpeting to sew it helped to a great extent. I just set the foot controller on s thin book. The hard surface allowed air to circulate around the bottom of the foot control. I also limited the time I FMQ to 20-30 minuted at a time and laid the foot petal on it's side to cool off faster when I was done. I was using a machine from 1977. Probably the newer machines have something that takes care of that.


text: Yesterday was the first day we've had in literally months where it was warm enough to fly, and the girls were out in force taking cleansing flights. The snow all around the house is now spotted yellow, heavily in some places. It was kind of fun explaining to the wife and kids what was going on.

Is shampoo sexy? How about toothpaste? Watch the funny, racy, commercials used to sell everything you have packed in your bathroom cabinet in this week's "Sex Sells."

Sure, there are lots of advertisements using beautiful women and lascivious suggestions to sell everything from cars to beer. And we're used to that, as a culture, and you've probably seen the best of such risqué commercials right here on our Sex Sells feature. But we also take particular delight in finding the greatest sexual innuendo–laden ads for products not usually considered to be inherently sexy.
Today we're going into your bathroom cabinet and finding the hottest commercials for your shampoo, deodorant, body spray and other personal care items.
Funny, sexy, maybe a little bit disturbing, this commercial has everything you need to sell some tubes of toothpaste. I've never heard of Close-Up; apparently it's a U.S. brand that's dropped in popularity in the last few years, maybe because it caused too many orgies?
This is one of the notorious Herbal Essences commercials famous for featuring a woman having too much fun washing her hair in the shower and a naughty insinuation using the word "organic." The ads ran for years, leading to a societal plague of disappointed housewives spending too much time in the shower.
We did an entire post about the raunchy ads of Axe Body Spray. Here's one of their competitors trying to be a little racy in a slightly more mature fashion.
We played the guessing game "Cinemax late-night soft-core movie or toothpaste commercial?" with this clip and lost.
We don't know what Ren is or what it does to our skin, but now we want it. All of it. Right now.

Thinking about Easter
I reckon I'll slowly pot roast a whole leg of lamb with some fresh rosemary, lamb stock and pomegranate juice. Spices will likely be added according to what I get in my hand at the time. I think I'll use the old village style clay oven (aka fourno) instead of the kitchen one.
It's a toss up right now between a homemade mint jelly and thick and creamy full fat greek yogurt (made with ewes milk) spiked with mint.

Re: Thinking about Easter
we found some greek yogurt....
We can get it at a farmers market and some larger shopping complexes have a stall.
they said it was 97% fat free....
I haven't figured out how it CAN be fat free..... it tastes so yummy and scrumptious. The company here mixes it with puree fruit of your choice or nuts and stuff.
I was actually thinking of baking an orange and almond cake and having it with some greek yogurt.
Great minds think alike....
#3 Wed 04 Apr 07 6:52pm
Re: Thinking about Easter
Without a doubt, greek yogurt really is something else, even the lower fat ones. Any recipe that requires yogurt will taste so much better if you use it.
Try it with honey and chopped walnuts.

Can i freeze greek yogurt
#5 Thu 05 Apr 07 12:58pm
Re: Thinking about Easter
It will never hang around long enough to freeze
Seriously, I guess if you made a yogurt "ice cream" using Greek yogurt as a base then yes it would be OK. The thing is though that this kind of yogurt tends to be a live culture and I suspect that freezing would kinda defeat the object here.

I'm not sure if this discussion should go in Warre or Pest and Diseases, but here goes. We installed a new package into a Warre hive this spring and they seemed to be doing well. We fed them when they first got here but we had a lot in bloom in our market garden so we only fed them once with a rapid feeder inside the hive. They got to work right away and drew a full box of comb and had drawn a half a box more of comb. So, we nadired a third box because the rate they seemed to be drawing indicated to us newbies that they would soon need more room (that may not be correct but we have a bit of a "bee mentor shortage" in our area).
Not long after adding that third box to the bottom, we found out we would be relocating our farm to a more rural area and renovating a farmhouse over the summer. We carefully and gently moved the bees at night about 15 minutes away from our home. We checked on them a few days later and they seemed to be doing fine. We have been so caught up with the farmhouse renovations and move-in deadlines that we have not checked on them in a while. When we went out to check on them the other day I observed that there was less activity at the hive entrance. Upon closer inspection I found dead bees by the entrance on the ground. We opened the hive to find that the bees were really low in numbers and that there was absolutely no honey on any of the comb. The bees were also clustered in a corner on about two top bars of comb. We removed a bar of comb to inspect it and found that it had tiny, very hard to see white worms crawling in and out of some of the empty brood cells. There were some brood cells still covered but not many at all. Really only a handful. There were a couple of cells covered in a very fine web. But only a couple. Not a lot of spider type webbing like I've seen in some of the wax moth infestation pictures.
So, my question is could the very tiny (read: not fat and plump like the pictures of wax moth larvae) white worms be the beginnings of a wax moth infestation or something else? If it is the beginnings of a wax moth infestation and my numbers are already dangerously low, with no honey, what should my next move be?
My other question is what might have caused my bees to die and the ones that are left have no honey?
The comb that was left looked perfect in form, not chewed or ragged. Other than the few tiny white worms and gorgeous empty cells they looked fine.
Also, what, if anything, can I do to keep the bees alive until next spring when I can add to them?

I will never understand how teams are forced to play one set of rules for 16 games and then the playoffs start and the entire way the game is officiated changes, mainly the total disregard of the rules when it comes to defensive backs.
All of a sudden they can grab, hold, hang over them like a cheap suit, hit them all the way down the field and get there early on passes, but it's called letting them play.
Fine, if that's the way they are going to play it should be that way from week 1.

Can someone pelease tell me a Good web site ti find a Good alternator? I have an 1997 Tahoe 4x4
With an kicker ix1000.1 pushing 2 Rockford p3d12's. 4 gauge power & ground. I will have 0 gauge wires and another battery before the summer gets here but I need an alternator now .
My 2005 Dodge Ram Quad Cab Blow-through
The one I got from pep boys 3 years ago started going out. I went to o'reilys and got a 145 amp alternator and it was slightly too big. I had other plans and my uncle went on ahead and got a standard 105 amp just so it would fit and to save money not knowing any better. Since its been installed (correctectly) I haven't been able to turn my radio past 35 and my amp controls is under 2&3 o'clock. And radio controls are at 0. Just to be noted I have an red top optima. ( maybe because I'm on the iPad is why I didn't see the link)
first things first.. just cause the gain is under the 3 o'clock position doesnt mean your amp isnt clipping i have mine setup around 3 clock and can still clip my amp at 30/50 on certain songs.thats still with my knob only at half! ... and thats a hard clip too. other songs full on the knob doesnt clip.... setup gains with a dmm and see what your at...
second.. crossover all the way down means only 50HZ and below is going to your subs.. not many people setup like that unless you got some amazing midbass drivers in your doors :S but as long as you like the sound of it its fine..
i like the way you setup your HU with the Sw level and bass settings.
Lastly your comparing 2 completly different amps. best thing i can suggest....
1.) do your gains with a DMM..on the kicker amp in your car.
2.) try the amp in your girls car.and redo the gains with a DMM.
3.) could just be your vehicles acoustics... do your headlights dim at all? if you have a bad alt or battery your lights will dim.. also could be just a bad connection.
also your comparing 2 different cars here.. ive heard a certain 12 in my car.. couldnt even heard it over my door speakers much.. then in a little saturn.. that poor thing was gonna fall apart..every vehicle is completly different.. :)
JVC KD-AVX44, 2 Massive Audio Hippo 8's , Hifonics Colossus going back in soon, MB Quart ONX216, Fli audio FL450S-F2, Energy ENC693x2 in rear deck, 6 gauge kit plus a huge 3 gauge kit. Custom built box for my 8's :)
Can someone please tell me where I can find a good aftermarket alternator ?
igotbassI need an alternator now .
that's a class D amp, so doesn't have the same power draw (about 80% efficient compared to around 50% efficiency with older class A/B amps) as a 1000 watt amp used to have. nice amp, too.
I agree with J Ro unless you need a new alternator because the one you have is bad/going bad it should be pushing out enough power for that amp. Are you having any problems like the one's J Ro mentioned?
GMC Sonoma, JVC KD-A95BT, 2 Pioneer TS-D601P in doors, 2 Pioneer TS-G4644R in dash, 2 JL W3v2-D2 10 inch subs, Lightning Audio B4.250.2, Soundstream TX1.1300D
Dude, I already answered this. I assure you that you aren't going to find a better option than I already gave you.
Dude, I already answered this. I assure you that you aren't going to find a better option than I already gave you.
i could suppose that a better alternative is the alternator currently installed is sufficient... seems like enough. stock has gotta be 100 amps or more in a 4x4 Yukon! my '95 Jeep came with a 130 amp, and i rewound it for 160 for more power than we are talking about here. idk why, but you and i seem to clash at times... you're the other sub guy, so i'd expect more of a consensus between us. best guess here is the stock alt is shot (vehicle IS kinda old) and just needs OEM replacement. thoughts?
Nah, in his other thread he simply asked for a good place to buy an aftermarket alternator. No other details. I gave him a link and then he starts this other thread. You are right, he most likely doesn't need a new alt for what he is running unless there is something wrong with his stock alt.

okay, thx for the reply. i missed the OP's other thread.
Bro your response didn't have a link in it ,nor th e last one
igotbassBro your response didn't have a link in it ,nor th e last one
i apologize for that, but this is not an issue i am fully capable of taking on myself. i assure you, i am only interested in helping you! but i don't know it all, so i sometimes request help from forum members that are specialized in particular issues... meant no offense, i swear.
igotbass I haven't been able to turn my radio past 35 and my amp controls is under 2&3 o'clock. And radio controls are at 0
Are you sure you know how to set the amp gain correctly ? Could be part of the problem.
Merged the thread - the Bro comment was directed at Namosh, I'm pretty sure.
Agreed, the alternator might not be the problem at all.
igotbassThe one I got from pep boys 3 years ago started going out.
Confused - are you saying the alternator you got 3 years ago is going out now - or it already was replaced?
If you got a 105A alternator from Pep Boys, it should have a lifetime warranty and if it is failing and you want a 135A one, you should be able to just pay the difference in cost and get that.
Hope This Helps!!!
Anyone else have suggestions?
2002 Ford Focus JVC KD-A815 Sony CDX-GT410u Sony XT-100HD HD Tuner Stock speakers, no amp, no subs
Well, if it was directed at me then I'd have to say have another look. The link is there.
Fair enough - he also said it might not have shown up b/c of his iPad ...
Because my name is on the business, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible shopping experience. I look forward to hearing your comments .

I got my green laser in finally this morning - I had planned to either put it on the PS90 or an AR (now I know it will be a PS90).
This thing is awesome. In the sunlight, I can easily see it 100 yards. Now, in the dark, I just went outside in the yard - U can see the beam itself at night. And the laser is visible probably 1000 yards. It's awesome

Istclair - To me it sounds like you have your answer, you didn't like meds for digging through the brood chamber, but you didn't like the weight of honey in the deeps. I would have to believe that deep broods with med supers is the way for you to go? I'm in the process of buying my extractor, I'm just waiting for a check to clear from my last removal. The extractor I am getting holds 9 deep frames radial, so that wont be much of a problem. Plus since it will be motorized, I figure I will stay with deeps throughout. If I were going to hand crank, I would prob want to get as many frames as I could per round, but in the end, it'd prob just be a wash anyway, smaller frames, means more frames, which would be more rounds of extraction? Just guessing there, but sounds logical.
NasalSponge - BTW, it's Chevy, thats why I listed it first.
If the extractor were the only issue, I'd just plan for deeps next time. But I can't see myself hefting 90-100 pounds regularly; much easier to do 2 40-lb mediums!

BTW Deeps for brood cause I havem,,,,switching to mediums for supers. Ran deeps for supers and had them chest high,,,,I'm 6 ft,,,,Top two FULL had to be 90 to 100 lbs each. Can't be doin that anymore. May go mediums as I wimp out
rick SoMd
I like deeps for brood chambers, mediums for honey supers. I use Ten frame only because that was what I got when buying out a beek when I started, but I could switch to 8 frame with no problems. Plastic frames with wax coating will serve you the best if you are going commercial. If you are a hobbiest then you can choose what you like and it will work.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid. John Wayne
I started out with deep brood chambers and shallow supers.
I realized in my 3rd or 4th year that my honey harvest would be much simpler if I had all mediums.
My extractor is a 9 frame and it will fit shallow or mediums radially, but deeps only 3 and tangentially. So for each batch of honey supers I could get more honey extracted from each of 9 med. frames than 9 shallows. Seems to me it would take the same amount of time to decap and load , extract and unload 9 med frames as it would for 9 shallows, right?
Also, on those few honey bound brood chambers I can extract a few frames here and there and swap around more easily if they are all medium too. I have seen the light. I need to be using all mediums.
To that end last month I ordered 10 boxes of mediums and will assemble them and have them ready for the fall flow.
Things I would never use again is duragilt I would use eight frame mediums no deeps. I would use wood frames plastic foundation easy peasy on that.
99.99% of questions can be answered by Just reading books.
If I was buying, or if I was making equipment again?
It's cheapest to go all deeps, but harder on your back. How much money do you want to spend?
What are your beekeeping goals? If I was a woman, who just wanted a few hives for honey production, I would probably just go with Top Bar Hives. Cheap, and the weight isn't going to be an issue.
If I wanted to raise bees and nucs, I would probably go with all deeps. A deep box of bees isn't nearly as heavy as a deep box of honey.
If I wanted to do honey production, I'd probably go with jumbos or deeps for a broodbox, with shallows or mediums for honey supers.
we run 8-frame equipment, combo of deeps and mediums. We like 2 deeps for brood , however after moving them back from orange we do throw some mediums on top of deep brood chambers also as we like to use the drawm deep combs on splits and increases. We usually start a good flow with deeps for honey then as they are filled follow up with mediums. Dependant upon how many hives you have and how many you want... an upgrade on the extractor may be necessary. A 20 frame dadant will extract 20 deeps and 36 meds if you choose to stuff that many mediums in there, and overall does not cost that much more money that extractors which do not handle deeps as well. Good luck.
A government large enough to provide everything you need is strong enough to take everything you have. T. Jefferson
I started from scratch this year and went to all 10 frame mediums. I had the same initial concern about having all the extra frames to check when doing a full inspection. But the benefits in my opinion are well worth the extra time and labor.
It will be so much easier now to keep the brood nest opened up during swarm season. And having the freedom to move or swap frames anywhere I need them, to me, is a tremendous advantage. I used to get so frustrated when I had a mix of deeps and mediums and lacked the simplicity of moving frames around where I wanted them. KISS works well for me.
To everything there is a season....
Thanks again to everyone for their replies. I'm placing my order today for 20 8-frame hives with supers, and enough wood frames to supplement what I already have. (I'm planning on starting 15 hives, but getting extra equipment, because you always need it!) I'm still kicking around foundation: I have about 100 sheets of small cell wax that I might as well use; I'm considering doing 5 hives of Honey Supercell as a test, since people seem to like it, and then five of... Still not sure. So many people like wax coated plastic, but I've had a horrible time in the past getting bees to draw it. These hives aren't in my backyard and I hate the idea of being out there scraping badly drawn plastic every week until they get it right! So I may go with traditional crimp wired wax.

I like 10 deeps for brood and shallows for honey.
I have to ask for those that posted against deeps how do you get 90-100lbs in a deep?
Based on my experience I have had better results with a screened bottom board and plastic foundation. I like deeps for brood and regular supers for the honey production. Use what works in your area and keep all materials interchangeable.
If I lost everything, and had to start over-
Migratory Tops
Solid bottom boards
Vsh/buckfast bees
Plastic foundation
Wood frames - all from the same company. I have have frames from everyone and their dog and the manufacturing differences make me go nuts.
Bucket feeders
Either all mediums or all deeps, or both, but run them separate, I.E. yard 1 mediums, yard 2 deeps, etc

I would go all mediums because they would all be interchangble plis the 8 frames are not as heavy and as you get older you will see what weight will do to you but the down side of that is you will have more bodies with 8 frames than 10 frames
If I had bought all cypress woodenware when I started over fifty years ago, I would still have the same supers. What a savings in labor and money! Still have the mediums I bought over 40 years ago. So if I were starting over, everything would be made of cypress. OMTCW

Two Minute Stories
Full-service laundromat
What laundromat offers free coffee and donuts or a summer reading program for kids? Raise the bar higher. What laundromat offers classes to help customers largely immigrants understand the new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program?
"Good business is doing good by your customers," says Mark Benson, Comm '00, manager of the World's Largest Laundromat in Berwyn, Ill. "We treat them like family, and they love us for it."
The laundromat hosted sessions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service agents answering questions and conducting mock naturalization interviews. More than 100 customers came to learn the standards for deferred action.
"The idea that this deferred action program was real, was going to be a benefit, carried a lot of excitement. But, as one can imagine, interacting with the federal government, let alone USCIS, stirs fear in a lot of people," Benson says. "Our customers know us. They trust us. They've seen us do lots of good things in the community. When we put our name on something, the fear recedes just enough to get some information through. We will do these events again. Absolutely."
Name that tune
For the first time in its storied history, Marquette's carillon marks time by striking an entirely new set of musical notes. Carilloneur Mark Konewko announced the switch from the Westminster, the melody played since the carillon was installed in the Marquette Hall belltower in the 1960s, to the St. Michael, named after the melody played in St. Michael the Archangel Church in the United Kingdom.
"The time strike, or Voorslag," Konewko says, "is made up of four phrases that use four bells: D-C-F-G, F-G-D-C, C-D-G-F and G-F-C-D."
Who knew only four bells could create such a beautiful sound? Most people on campus just love hearing the carillon music wafting through the air whatever the melody.
Here's how Be The Difference works
Buddies Greg St. Arnold, Arts '07, and Matthew Manning, Arts '06, founded Arcos Milwaukee to continue being the difference. They had a load of international experience as Marquette students and wanted to share those lessons with Milwaukee high school students who have none. They established Arcos to teach and then travel. Funding comes from community and private donors, including alumni whose lives were changed by studying abroad.
"In 2012, we worked with five students from four different high schools in Milwaukee," St. Arnold says of Arcos. "We met about twice a month to study global issues and learn how to be responsible travelers."
Then the group traveled to Nicaragua to visit a school, explore, climb a mountain and visit a sustainable coffee plantation. Arcos has a second adventure coming up this summer, this time taking high school students to El Salvador. Visit arcosmke.com for information.

Carl Webb Jr.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 6:52 PM
By Johnathan Manning / American Press
A man accused of murdering his grandmother agreed to a last-minute plea deal Tuesday.
A jury was picked and opening statements were expected to be given Tuesday afternoon when Carl Webb Jr., 35, pleaded guilty to a lesser count.
Webb was charged with first-degree murder in the February 2009 death of 75-year-old Helen Webb, but pleaded to manslaughter.
Judge Clayton Davis sentenced him to 12 years in prison, which is to run concurrent with the 65-year prison sentence Webb is currently facing on unrelated weapons charges.
After Davis asked him if he admitted to the facts, Webb paused for a minute before saying, "yes, sir."
Davis said the case was a "prime example of a case in which closure is extremely important."
Angela Webb Bascle, Helen Webb's daughter and Carl Webb's aunt, pleaded with Carl in court Tuesday, saying, "C.J., please look at me."
He turned to her and said, "I'm doing this for dad and dad only."
She told him "I know your grandmother loved you very, very much."
Margie Habetz, Helen Webb's sister, also told "C.J." that his grandmother loved him. Habetz said she prays that "God has mercy on your soul."
Prosecutor Jonathan Blake said that an autopsy confirmed that Helen Webb died from three strikes to the head.
He said she was found in her garage and the door to her home was unlocked.
He said letters from Webb also showed he was attempting to frame someone else for the murder.
Helen Webb's purse was missing from her residence, according to court documents.

It's the event that anyone with little more than a passing interest in modified small capacity and rotary-engined automotive machinery spends all year counting the days for, and this past weekend the V4 & Rotary Nationals celebrated its 16th anniversary in style.
What originally began as a small gathering hosted by the Mazda Rotary Enthusiasts Club Auckland has grown in to one of the country's largest automotive events and an institution in its own right.
The Nats' success and longevity is something that organiser Azhar Bhamji of 4 & Rotary Promotions puts down to a few key things.
"Being a New Zealand-owned business is definitely a factor, as is our really supportive competitor, spectator and sponsor base," he says, "and we always set ourselves the goal of outdoing our last event and bringing something new to the table to keep the event fresh and relevant."
For day one of the event the halls at Auckland's ASB Showgrounds became a wax-scented haven of polished metal and carbon fibre as 300 mostly Japanese cars of varying make, modification and vintage were put on display.
Outside, the front carpark became the NAC Insurance Live Action Arena with some of New Zealand's top drifting talents competing.
One of the highlights was not a car but an innovative feat of engineering. Wanganui-based tuner PPRE (Pulse Performance Race Engineering) chose the event to officially unveil what's being dubbed a world first in Mazda rotary engine modification: a six-rotor motor.
The largest capacity rotary engine manufactured by Mazda is 2.6-litre 26B four-rotor unit, but that was a non-production model developed exclusively for its Le Mans racing efforts in the 1990s.
PPRE's creation, however, is in effect the mechanical components of three conventional 1.3-litre 13B twin-rotor engines mated by a custom-tooled crankshaft.
A crowd-pulling start-up demonstration of the 3.9-litre peripheral ported 6B revealed a distinctive high-pitched tone.
However, its true potential as a racing engine will be realised only after finishing touches are made to the 1974 Mazda RX-4 drag-racing chassis in which it is fitted.
The show then shifted south, where the event's final day played out at Fram Autolite Dragway, Meremere, in front of an audience eager for action.
They got it too, with almost 250 cars taking to the drag strip - the quickest of the day a tube-framed and methanol-fuelled Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
It was one of a handful of pro-level cars that managed to run the standing the quarter mile (400m) in 8s at speeds nearing 275km/h.
Included in that line-up was an inconspicuous 1997 Nissan Stagea built by Rotorua performance workshop RIPS.
Wearing the personalised registration plate MGAWOT - a nod to its 1000kW (1mW) turbocharged and nitrous oxide-assisted six-cylinder engine - the street-legal station wagon powered its way to a 8.8s pass at 257km/h, earning its owner a track class record.
There were plenty of drivers who didn't fare so well, some reducing their car's driveline and engine components to metal shards on the start line.
In between the drag strip competition the purpose-built concrete burnout pad received an additional layer of rubber from more than 20 competitors, none of whom were shy in putting pedal to the metal for a shot at "skid king" glory.
Many tyres were harmed in the process.
With an estimated 25,000 spectators through the gates over the course of the weekend it's a given that the Nationals will be happening again next year.

It's time to get that data back!
I haven't really touched Helix and figured some of you may have some exp in this area. I'm looking to get back some files that were deleted by a complete install of an OS. Can someone name a few tools, tutorials, links on these bad boys so I can read up on them. Had a buddy come to me the other day, I don't really want to let him down and all. Thanks in advanced for your replies.

Registered Nurse Journal - Call for Stories
Are you interested in being published in Registered Nurse Journal? We bring readers a member story in each issue of RNAO's bi-monthly publication. And we want to include your story.
Branded In the End, and found on page 30, this one-page feature is an opportunity for nurses to tell others what nursing means to them.
Is there a particular individual – patient or colleague – who comes to mind when you're asked what nursing means to you? Is there a situation you can recall that had a profound effect on you, reminding you just why you chose this profession?
Write to firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested in telling our readers "What nursing means to me…"
Submissions should be 450-500 words. Be sure to include your membership number and any relevant contact information for follow-up.
If you have an idea you would like to discuss before you start writing, we can help you focus on a concept and get started. Call us at 416-599-1925/1-800-268-7199 ext. 233.
We look forward to hearing from you.
