Bon-Voyage Tuesday Nights!
This is a tough one for me to write, it's the end of a chapter in my life. For the past 3 ½ years I've been hosting a songwriter night at the Hotel Indigo on West End in Nashville called Tuesday Nights Live! Just one of several hosts throughout the week, my night became well known as the best place to see great talent. I was fortunate to have many amazing songwriters step up to the plate and wow the crowd with their performances. I've highlighted just a few of the hundreds that passed through in the attached video.
It was an honor to have amazing songwriters and performers on my stage, including: Susan Gibson of "Wide Open Spaces" Dixie Chicks fame, Jim "Moose" Brown and his Jimmy Buffett hit "It's Five o'clock Somewhere", in addition to Jim Mayer's Buffett hit "I don't Know and I don't Care".
Paris Delane of Sonia Da Da with "Lover, Lover", (always a crowd pleaser!), John Oates of Hall and Oates with his own brand of the blues, and Danny (Livin on Tulsa Time) Flowers showcasing his amazing guitar playing.
Chaz Sanford and Gary Hannan stopped in a few times to do their respective top hits "Missing You" and "Tequila Makes her Clothes Fall off". Bud Lee came around to play "Friends in Low Places".
James Slater played my very first show on Cinco De Mayo in 2009, singing a song that he penned for Martina McBride, "In My Daughter's Eyes", along with his Tim McGraw hit, "That's why God Made Mexico".
I feel blessed to have had Damien Horne and his entourage that always consisted of top notch players. You can catch his band, called The Farm, rising rapidly to the top on the Warner Brothers Label. www.thefarmmusic.com
Bekka Bramlett graced us with her presence and sang her Faith Hill hit "One".
Our own Voyage-Air sister company and co-sponsor of the nights, Savannah Music Group gave us Dave Gibson, Daisy Dern, Bob Saporiti, Jack Williams, Shawn Mayer, Mark Dreyer, Nolan Neal and Rikki Jo Randall. www.savannahmusicgroup.com
We even began to extend the songwriter shows to appeal to a MUCH younger demographic with our Kid Shows. Jim Mayer of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band came to play with the kids in a show that he calls "Uncle Jim Rocks", Jon Roniger and Hollie Jett brought us the Pixie Stix, along with their Lolly Pop Girls. Aaron Ratiere didn't fail to get the kids up dancing, (Check out the video!)
I am proud to have given opportunities for many new acts a chance to play at my shows. The G-Brothers, Boyle Brothers, and Sam & Luke were all kids that came in with their folks and, immediately recognizing the star power, I gave them an opportunity to perform. Anyone that got the chance to hear them knows it wasn't a mistake. Keep an eye out for these kids because they are all amazing in their own way! www.samandluke.com, www.the4boylebrothers.com, www.thegbrothersmusic.com
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my right hand man and sound engineer extraordinaire, Michael Rohr. As I said every Tuesday night, "I couldn't do it without him".
Then there were the awesome bartenders that took great care of everyone, Kristen, Lisa, Cheryl and Courtney. The front desk staff should be acknowledged for their patience and kindness when the music seemed to overtake the crowd and cause quite a ruckus with guests pulling chairs in from the porch, and especially when dancing ensued.
And I will never forget George, who lent his talent on percussion; even playing a trash can, when needed. He truly added a great vibe to the evenings.
I am also forever grateful to my friends, Leslie and Keith Worsham for giving me the opportunity, believing in me, and supporting me throughout the years. They stepped up to the plate when I had high-profile artists in and needed a green room, as you will see in the video. I will truly miss them.
Enjoy the video and the pictures and keep an eye out for me. I'll be back somewhere soon, its way too much fun to give up!!!

Creature Comfort Camping
Roughing it in the great outdoors ain't what it used to be. These handy items will make life under the stars feel a little more like home.
Long, long ago, in a distant time we'll call our collective childhood, there was an activity people of all types liked to partake in called camping. Though camping came in many varieties, the general idea was to pack up a tent, sleeping bag and the few other things necessary to survive for a few days (basic foods, bug spray, etc.) and take off into the wild for a rustic adventure. Whether that wild was literally off the grid or a glorified parking lot near a body of water didn't matter so much; the real objective was to get away from an increasingly complicated, tech-integrated world and enjoy that old friend of ours, Nature.
For most of us, however, those days are long gone. The desire to get away from it all has been replaced by the desire to bring it all with us, lock, stock and barrel. Though some poor unfortunates have attempted to dub this "glamping," we prefer something along the lines of creature-comfort camping and we think you'll agree. Why focus on some idea of backwoods luxury when the real game is making batches of very strong daiquiris while playing Angry Birds as your phone charges and the fire roars?
BioLite CampStove – $129
Where there are twigs, there's a way to charge your favorite handhelds. The BioLite CampStove is a modern miracle of efficiency and convenience. The football-sized stove not only provides a highly efficient flame to light the night or roast hot dogs over, but also allows you to power or charge your electronics. You could argue it's a boon to staying safe in the wilderness, but really we're all just pondering how many twigs it would take to make it through our favorite playlists. Oh, and one more thing: the thing can boil one liter of water in about four minutes. You can buy one here, but you'll have to get in line.
JOOS Orange Solar Charger – $149
Another entry in the energy-anywhere category is the JOOS Orange portable solar charger. At 6" by 8", this tiny little panel packs quite the punch. Capable of charging a whole range of electronics directly, the JOOS Orange can also be charged up to provide power if you need it later on. And it's waterproof, so no worries if you leave it out in the rain or drop it out of the canoe. No word on whether it floats, however.
Zodi Hot Tap Portable Shower – $145
A traditionalist outdoorsman might not look so kindly on you for bringing this on a weekend camping trip, but he probably doesn't smell so fresh. If you're going all out, why go without a hot shower? The Zodi Hot Tap Shower is propane-powered and not the lightest thing you'll take into the woods, but one 16-ounce tank of fuel will provide three hours of hot water. And if it's just you and your lady friend outward bound, who knows what kind of fun you could find in the wild?
HEIMPLANET The Cave Tent – $670
The Cave is about as high-tech and convenient as tents get. And it looks like it's from the future. Where most tents are process-heavy in the setup and, let's face it, rather confusing, this one is a breeze. The exoskeleton-like frame is inflatable, so assembling it is one step and takes next to no time at all. You can get right into the party rather than waste an hour figuring out which pole goes through which hole.
Coleman Rechargeable Blender – $80
Who says you can't have frothy frozen drinks in the wild? Coleman begs to differ. With more than enough power to crunch through ice (you'll have to find that on your own), this sharp, not-so-little thing will give you as many as 30 pitchers of boozy goodness on one charge. And chances are you'll be able to recharge it with one of our other ritzy suggestions.

Reviews of this property
Very nice place, very flexible host! We called in the afternoon and checked-in in the evening. Apartment was perfectly clean, equipped with everything needed (including washing powder, toilet paper etc.) so we could purely enjoy our stay, which was great!
Really nice location, especially during "Jarmark Dominikanski" / "St. Dominic's Market"
cosy apartment, grobla.
realy nice apartmentand good service from the host.this is recommendend. i will come back next time. wigdis.
Nice cozy apartment, everything needed was available! Friendly welcome, uncomplicated handling. Perfect location could not be better. 2 little notes, which are not tragic: Wifi is only partially available. Reference is made to the free city GDANSKwifi network, the connection is given here only temporarily and the signal quite weak. The agreement we had to return the keys to intiieren yourself, here you could initiate better communication distance. However, we would book this hotel again in any case, since we have become second felt very comfortable there.
Schöne gemütliche Wohnung, alles Notwendige war vorhanden!
Freundlicher Empfang, unkomplizierte Abwicklung. Perfekte Lage, besser gehts nicht.
2 kleine Anmerkungen, welche nicht tragisch sind: Wifi ist nur bedingt vorhanden. Es wird auf das kostenfreie Stadtnetz GDANSKwifi verwiesen, die Verbindung ist hier nur temporär gegeben und das Signal recht schwach. Die Vereinbarung der Schlüsselrückgabe mussten wir selbst intiieren, hier könnte man einen besseren Kommunikationsfuss initiieren.
Wir würden diese Unterkunft jedoch in jedem Fall wieder buchen, da wir uns zu Zweit dort sehr wohlgefühlt haben.
Giant nice accommodation, very central. A little difficult with all stairs (96st)
Jätte fint boende, väldigt centralt. Lite jobbigt med alla trappor (96st)
Reviews for this host's other properties
very good location, perfect actually :)
nice room, nice neighbours.
Maybe one thing minus -> no shower.
Nice apartment in sopot center. Close to the beach. Clean and tidy.
Fin leilighet i sopot sentrum. Nært stranden. Rent og ryddig.
Dear Sirs
The apartment had a great central location, it was everything we needed available, and it was very clean.
However, a major drawback was the garbage disposal, which has picked up on Friday morning at 4:00 clock on Saturday at 6 clock and on Sunday at 6.00 clock in front of our apartment the trash.
Yours sincerely
Barbara Mächtle-Brown
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren
Das Apartment hatte eine super günstige Lage, es war alles was wir brauchten vorhanden und es war sehr sauber.
Ein großer Nachteil war jedoch die Müllabfuhr, die am Freitag Morgen um 4.00 Uhr am Samstag um 6 Uhr und am Sonntag um 6.00 Uhr vor unserem Apartment den Müll abgeholt hat.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Barbara Mächtle-Braun
Our summer looking for the longer, we have chosen the family apartment in Sopot, and were enthusiastic about having Equipment, Service and weather very much! This was a great holiday in Sopot! The sea is 10 minutes walk through the Polnochny Park. All malls close as Bedronka, Lidl.
The apartment features such as IKEA Still.
From negaitve moments: the fridge was completely "frozen", but "it does not hurt." We have it even cleared. Nevertheless, everything was great !!!
Always recommend Wimdu!
Unseren Sommerurlaub nach den längere suchen, haben wir die Familien-Appartement in Sopot gewählt, und waren mit Ausstatung, Service und Wetter sehr begeistern! Das war einen schönen Urlaub in Sopot! Das Meer in 10 Minuten durch den Polnochny Park laufen. Alle Laden in der nahe wie Bedronka, Lidl.
Die Wohnung Ausstattung wie IKEA Still.
Aus negaitve Momente: der Kühlschrank war komplett "eingefroren", aber "es tut nicht weh". Wir haben er selbst geräumt. Trotzdem alles prima!!!
Immer Wimdu empfehlen!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.

But hes a crap football player outside of bowl games and special teams.
How do you value that. Do you think you can coach him up and get him to be more consistent? Is there some flaw in his game normally?
Ill be honest I have not watched him that much, only a couple games.

An acquisition of SG Companies in 2009, the Rugged Shark® brand began life as a single boat shoe designed to bring marine footwear into the 21st Century. While technology was changing the face of all manner of consumer products, marine footwear was stagnant. The shoes available to boaters and fishermen were thin-soled moccasin-styles that were hard on the wearer's feet and only modestly effective on wet surfaces.
Along the way Rugged Shark went from being a marine shoe line to becoming an outdoor footwear brand. Fishermen and boaters who tried our Atlantic™ shoe styles and Marlin™ shoes fell in love with the performance and comfort of boat shoes that made their feet feel good—all day long!
Today, Rugged Shark creates and markets footwear which combines cutting edge design with the latest advances in component materials. The brand is sold in national and regional outdoor store chains, such as Bass Pro Shops, as well as smaller independent stores across the nation.

text: We're now getting into physical-activity programming. Chapter 16 covers considerations and guidelines and Chapter 17 covers the actual programming and recommendations you will make for your clients. But, before we dive in, consider this: You are (future) fitness professionals and physical activity is just a part of your daily life, much the same way crunching numbers all day is a part of an accountant's day. For most people, however, learning to be physically active takes time, and for some, like those who are obese, exercise can be uncomfortable. While we feel better when we exercise, those who are not accustomed to exercise (or who have had negative experiences with exercise), it can be anything but fun. That's why so important that you try to set aside all personal beliefs and judgment and put yourself in your clients' shoes. Here's a great experiment that will help you understand what it's like to exercise while being obese. Fat in the neck region can decrease the diameter of one's air passages, which makes it much harder to breathe and take in the amount of air that a non-obese person can easily consume. Next time you have a straw and a couple flights of stairs try this: First, walk up and down the stairs the way you normally would and note any feelings of fatigue (either cardiovascular or muscular). Give yourself a few minutes to recover. Then, place the straw in your mouth and plug your nose so that you're only able to breathe through the straw (this simulates the narrowing air passages of an obese person) and try going up and down the stairs again while breathing through the straw. Now compare the two experiences. You'll likely have a better understanding of why an obese person doesn't enjoy exercise quite as much as you do. The most important thing to keep in mind (in particular with those who have low self-efficacy) is to start clients out with something they can manage. If you start a client with a program that is too demanding (even if it doesn't seem that hard to you), it can be discouraging and possibly even cause them to withdraw from the program. One of your first objectives is to help your clients develop a positive relationship with physical activity and actually enjoy this process. For some, incorporating 10 minutes of activity or eating one fruit or vegetable a day could be a HUGE change for some people. Giving clients small objectives they can meet will increase their self-efficacy and motivate them to want to take on even more fitness and nutrition challenges. Help your clients understand that and build them up by making small, manageable and meaningful changes. Chapter 16 Key Points: -Special considerations for overweight/obese individuals; low-back and lower-extremity musculoskeletal pain; impact on walking and cycling -ACE Integrated Fitness TrainingTM (IFTTM) Model: Understand the progression of what you would accomplish and what assessments you might do if you elect to do anything other than the health-risk appraisal during the first few sessions (body composition, postural or physical fitness assessments). -Using assessment results to guide exercise programming; use the results of these assessments to determine which of the four phases of cardiorespiratory and resistance training your client will start in, and what the appropriate "end-phase" would be based on the client's goals (this is explained in greater depth in chapter 17). Hint: If the client is new to exercise, he or she will always start in Phase 1. -Targeting behaviors for change in overweight/obese individuals; know the recommended goals for clients who are overweight or obese (see page 461). Chapter 17 Key Points: -Cardiorespiratory training based on the ACE IFT Model; understand the goal of each phase (aerobic-base training, aerobic-efficiency training, etc.), components of each phase (assessments, training distribution in different in each intensity zone, end goal of the phase, etc.) and for whom each phase is appropriate. For example, only those with competitive or performance-related goals should participate in Phase 3 and 4 of cardio training. Most people will be just fine working in Phase 2. See Table 17-2 for an outline of the different phases. Also, know the different intensity markers that you could use to establish those three intensity zones (Table 17-1 gives all the different markers you could use). -Resistance training based on the ACE IFT Model; know what you're looking to accomplish in each phase, when you're ready to progress to the next phase, what the appropriate end-phase is based on the client's goals, the FIRST Recommendations, and the appropriate progression of plyometrics. I recommend having a general familiarity with the exercises described in this chapter because an exam question could make reference to an exercise and you would be expected to know the objective of the exercise (what the exercise does for the body). While I did not address Chapter 19 in this blog (it features case studies demonstrating how to put this information into practice), be sure to carefully review each case and try to identify the individual's risk for CAD, stage of change, appropriate starting phase and progressions based on stated goals. The last Health Coach Helper will cover Chapter 20 of the ACE Health Coach Manual. If you have any feedback on these blogs or if you have a study question, you can comment on this blog or contact our Resource Center at 800-825-3636, Ext. 796, where our Study Coaches are attending the line 7 a.m.–6 p.m. PST, Monday-Friday.

This video does show a nice strip of flowering plants with pollinators.
But it doesn't tell you how long the field next to it has been treated with neonics.
This might well be the first year, so you would find all the bumbles still around.
Come back in a year or two and compare, you will be very lucky to see the same amount of wildlife.
Anybody can go out and visit field margins in areas that have had neonics applied for a few years, they will be very poor indeed.
Go and check it for yourself, don't just believe what is said on this forum!


text: I would like to know if anyone has ever attempted to winter 2 queens in one hive (with an excluder between them ofcourse). I thought that way when they get strong in the spring I could just split the colony and have two hives? Any suggestions? How would you go about distributing the stored honey?

BLEM CMMG 9MM Lower Receiver, Mk9, SMG - BLEM!
this is about the cheapest price i have ever seen on a dedicated 9mm lower.
they got 79 left at this price--
if you want a 9mm AR they don't get no cheaper--hell a decent mag block will likely cost--more than this lower--
CMMG generally makes pretty good stuff from what i have seen--
there blemished but fully functional -- :w00t1::w00t1::w00t1::boxing::boxing::salute:

Escape "One Shot At This"... I am stuck
Re: Escape "One Shot At This"... I am stuck
Thats the campaign right? your in the wrong place for that this is multiplayer, saying that check walkthroughs online, even though I played the game twice I cant remember much, sorry

Describe the chapter/bit your stuck on to jog my memory
Re: Escape "One Shot At This"... I am stuck
Maybe this will help. From Yahoo Answers
Q. So I'm on level 16, "one shot at this" in Uncharted 3. I get to the part where they're like "whoa, how many are there?" "we'll have to do this silently." it's where all the guards are Patrolling the one area. I silently take out all the guards I see without being spotted. Then I sneak up the last two in front of the door, and I can't take them out without one yelling for backup. Then all hell breaks loose and so many guys come and kill me. If I try to run and go on top of the building(where you're supposed to go) before killing everyone, there's no ladder so I can't jump down!
And even though I save before those last two guys, it makes me start over where I've been spotted so I have no chance and have to start the ENTIRE chapter over.
Can someone please help me? How do I finish this part without being spotted? I suck at video games and am playing on very easy mode, ha ha. When I get spotted and kill a lot of guys, more come in. It seems impossible.
A.You cant finish that part unspotted, I was taking everyone out one by one perfectly, but more kept coming and coming, then they started noticing the bodies on the ground and started to call back-up and hell breaks lose. When you fight make sure you are in an area where only enemies can come in from, that way your safe if the enemies from behind start to kill you. Also its best if you can find the Bolt-T Sniper rifle and aim quickly at the ones on top.

Re: Escape "One Shot At This"... I am stuck
If you wanna take it slow, just sneak kill them until you get the T-Bolt or the Hammer drops.
Then start shooting.

actually you can finish that part unspotted, it's hard, but I can do it all the time if I want, here are some tips:
- study their patrols and make sure you take a guy out only if no other enemy will be patrolling past them
- if their is always an enemy who will see him dying, this happens once I believe then move quickly on to that opponent and make sure that he will not see the previous enemy you killed
- now the hardest thing is the 2 guys standing in front of you way out, what you must do is lure 1 of them to you, you can lure opponents by going out of cover quickly and then hide again, he will see you for a second but is uncertain if he did see you or not, so he will go investigate, first by just carefully looking in your direction, then you have to lure him a second time to make him come to you, to investige what he saw, when that happens, move around him and shoot with your silencer the other bad guy that is still standing near your way out, then take out the enemy who was investigating you, this way there will be no back-up enemy's, it is possible, but hard, just don't give up to soon...

December 18, 1946 - March 24, 2014
After a courageous battle with cancer, Artist and gallery owner Zbyszek Koziol, passed away in his home on March 24 with his loving wife, Tippi, and their sons, Antoni and Aleks by his side. He was 67 years old.
Zbyszek was born in his family's home in Kudowa-Zdroj, Poland, where his mother and father nurtured him and his two siblings in a cozy and creative environment. His father was a talented sculptor, wood carver, and painter.
He studied English language at 'Cambridge School of English" in London, England, and went on to earn his MA in Economics in the 'Central School of Planning and Statistics' in Warsaw, Poland. In 1977 he became the 'Head of the Department of International Jazz Festivals' for the 'Polish Jazz Society' in Warsaw were he organized concerts with legendary jazz singers and musicians.
His early travels included France, Spain, Scotland, India, Nepal, Vietnam, and Malaysia, which led him to Australia, where he fell in love with its vast beauty. He eventually earned an Australian Citizenship. His early works were in photography, pastels, acrylic, and oil paintings on paper, canvas, furniture, and clothing. His works of art began gaining recognition and he was eventually chosen by the Sydney City Council Art Department as one of twenty non-Australian artists to be filmed and documented for educational purposes.
In 1985, he was invited to NYC to co-organize a Miles Davis concert tour in the USSR and Poland. He photographed and interviewed the legend himself. Zbyszek decided to extend his stay and supported himself by painting T-shirts and selling them at the West Broadway Flea Market. It was there that he was recognized and encouraged to keep painting by Pop artist, Andy Warhol.
In 1986, Zbyszek turned an empty commercial space above an Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village into a night club where, in collaboration, he painted wall to wall murals. This space became 'Mondo Cane Blues Bar.' This is also where he met his future wife, Tippi, after he hired her as a cocktail waitress.
The couple moved to Key West in late 1987 began selling their hand painted T-shirts at the 'Sunset Celebration' at Mallory Square. They were married in 1988 and soon welcomed their two sons, Antoni and Aleks. He showered them with love, affection, and wisdom. He was Tippi's best friend and guiding light.
The couple opened "Zbyszek Gallery' in 1995 which featured both of their works, and moved it to a handful of locations in Key West, Delray Beach, and Saint Petersburg, Fla. As a result of Zbyszek's declining health, the couple closed the doors to their last location on Petronia St. on April, 1 2013.
Zbyszek created a unique body of figurative/abstract works of art in a variety of mediums which are spread throughout the world, and he continued painting until one month ago.
He is preceded in death by his mother and father, Krystyna and Zygmunt Koziol, and his brother Bogdan Koziol.
He is survived by his wife, Tippi, sons Antoni and Aleks, his 1 year old granddaughter Trinity (who always put a sparkle in his blue eyes), Barbara Stachowiak (sister), Michael Ewell (stepson), Conrad Koziol (godson and nephew), and a wonderful loving extended family. Grateful, he was to his many art patrons, spiritual supporters, and true friends he has met on his journey; and especially, his wife and children, through which his legend will live on.
Our family wishes to thank Joan King for all of her love and support, Dr. Covington, Dr. Ahamad, Dr. Oldham, The Lower Keys Medical Center, Visiting Nurses Association, and Hospice of the Florida Keys.
The Dean-Lopez Funeral Home is entrusted with arrangements.
A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date.
We will miss you immensely!

Missoula police recover handgun allegedly thrown in river in weekend pursuit
MISSOULA, Mont. - Missoula police recovered a handgun they believe was used in a foot chase off West Broadway in Missoula.
Twenty-year-old Joseph Peasley of Missoula was arrested for violating probation.
Police said he is a violent offender.
The officer who arrested him is on paid leave, pending the completion of an in-house investigation, after firing his weapon.
A search and rescue crew floated a pontoon into a waterway feeding into the Clark Fork River Monday morning and found the gun investigators believe Peasley dropped.
It was in three feet of water.
"It was a 40-caliber semi-automatic handgun," said Sgt. Scott Pastian, "which was loaded with ammunition."
Police took the gun and ammunition into evidence.
Searchers did not find the bullet casing from the gun patrol officer Ben Slater fired.
"It was a warning shot toward the bank," said Pastian.
Reports said Slater believed Peasley was reaching into his waist band, as if for a weapon.
His warning shot stopped the suspect, who was then arrested.
On Sunday, Missoula police answered a 911 dispatch call from someone who said Peasley was on his way to their home with a weapon.
They said Slater discovered the suspect on a bicycle, but he refused to stop.
Police said Peasley abandoned the bike and started running toward the river.
It happened in the parking lot of an apartment complex.
"It's scary," said neighborhood resident Paul Tappon, "anytime there's a bullet flying around in a residential area."
Missoula's city police manual says warning shots may be fired if an officer is authorized to use deadly force, and only if the officer reasonably believes a warning shot can be fired safely.

Arsène Wenger has called on UEFA to explain how they appoint and assess referees for games in their competitions.
The manager is keen to understand how European football's governing body ranks the officials it appoints to fixtures. The call comes after criticism of certain referees' performances during this week's Champions League matches.
Wenger was unimpressed with Martin Hansson's performance in Porto on Wednesday night, while Norwegian official Tom Henning Ovrebo received criticism for some of his decisions in Bayern Munich's 2-1 win over Fiorentina on the same evening.
"It has to be clarified first of all how they nominate referees for games," said Wenger.
"They have to be much more open on how they rate their referees. Nobody knows really how they name their referees.
"Where is the ranking of the referees? I believe there is too much gone on in the last 30 years. I do not want to say more on that. There are a lot of things that have to be done."

The mark of a professional mariner is in attention to details. A good navigator can use a chart to navigate successfully. A professional navigator can also do this, but additionally he knows and understands every detail of the chart he is using. You can tell the difference between the two by observing how each studies the chart before using it.
Everything you see on a chart has meaning and represents a shorthand way of conveying important information. Knowledge of the chart symbols enable understanding of what you see. Here is how to become a professional.
The first thing you want to do before using any chart is to carefully read the borders of the chart and the information posted under the chart's Title Block. Here is what you can expect to see and what it means:
Soundings. At the top and bottom of the chart you will see the unit of measurement used for the soundings in large block letters on this chart. SOUNDINGS IN FATHOMS, indicates that soundings are in fathoms and fractions of fathoms. One fathom is six feet. SOUNDINGS IN FATHOMS AND FEET, indicates the soundings are in fathoms with subscript in feet. For spot depths, the fathom will be the larger number while the fraction of fathoms or feet will be the smaller subscript number. For example, you might see a spot depth on the chart of 42. This indicates a depth of 4 fathoms and, if the soundings are in fathoms and feet, the small 2 indicates two feet, so in this case the depth is 4 fathoms plus 2 feet or 26 feet. SOUNDINGS IN METERS, indicates that the soundings on this chart are in meters and decimeters. The larger number on the spot depths are in meters while the smaller number is tenths of a meter. Use the depth conversion scale provided to convert between meters, feet and fathoms.
All depths indicated on charts are reckoned from a selected level of water called the chart sounding datum. For NOAA charts the datum is usually Mean Lower Low Water. This is the average height of the lower low waters of each tidal day over a 19-year period. Older charts use Mean Low Water and foreign charts can use other tidal datums. You must understand the soundings and tidal datum for the chart you are using and take into consideration the height of tide and the tidal range to avoid grounding. You also must be aware that there will be certain times of the year or weather conditions which can make the actual depth less than that depicted on the chart.
Scale. The scale of a chart is the ratio of a given distance on a chart to the actual distance it represents on the earth. For example a 1:40,000 or 1/40,000 scale means that one unit on the chart, represents 40,000 of the same units on the surface of the earth. A chart covering a relatively large area is called a small scale chart and one covering a relatively small area is called a large scale chart. Since the terms are relative, there is no sharp division between the two. Thus a chart of scale 1:40,000 is large scale when compared with a chart of 1:100,000, but small scale when compared with one of 1:20,000. Think of the scales as fractions and you will always remember the difference between them. For example, 1/2 of a pie is larger than 1/4 of a pie. The chart with the larger denominator in the fraction indicates the one that is smaller in scale in relation to the other one. Remember that as the scale decreases, the amount of detail shown also decreases. Large scale charts show large amounts of detail, while small scale charts show small amounts of detail. Small scale charts are used for planning and off shore navigation. Larger scaled charts are used for coastal navigation or entering and anchoring in harbors and small waterways.
Heights. The shoreline shown on charts is generally based on mean high water. A light's height is usually computed from mean sea level. The heights of overhanging obstructions (i.e. bridges and power cables) are usually reckoned from mean high water. A high water reference gives you the minimum clearance. Heights and elevations on land are reckoned from mean sea level.
Datum Note. Most charts produced by DMA and NOS will show a datum note in the Title Block. The note may say "World Geodetic System 1972 (WGS-72)", or World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84)", or World Geodetic System (WGS)." A datum note for a chart for which satellite positions can be plotted without correction will read: "Positions obtained from satellite navigation systems referenced to the world Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84) can be plotted directly on this chart." It is vitally important that your GPS be set to use the datum of the chart you are using. By now the majority of NOAA charts have been converted from NAD 27 to WGS-84 or WGS. However, if you find yourself using an NAD 27 chart, you must set the GPS to read NAD 27. This way the GPS coordinates will agree with the latitude and longitude scale on your chart. If you don't set the GPS you can expect to have position errors of 10 to 110, (33-360 feet), meters, depending on where you are in the U.S. See your GPS manual on how to set this up.
Type of projection. Most of the time you will be using a Mercator projection. If not, make sure you understand the correct usage for that type chart. For a complete understanding of chart projections see "The American Practical Navigator" by Bowditch.
Chart dates and Edition. NOAA charts have two dates. At the top center of the chart is the date of the first edition of the chart. In the lower left corner is the current edition number and date. This date shows the latest date through which the Notices to Mariners were applied to the chart. Subsequent changes will be printed in the Notice to Mariners. In order to be legal, you must have the latest Notices to Mariners corrections added to your chart.
Notes and warnings. Read all notes and warnings posted in the Title Block area and check for applicability to your voyage.
Other misc. information. Depth conversion scale, logarithmic speed scale and distance scales will all be in the margins of the chart. Take the time to note their location and understand how to use them. All of this information is also available on raster scanned electronic charts, since they are a photograph of the paper chart. Many of these details are also available through the Properties menu selection for both raster and vector charts. How to get there will vary between software programs. Make sure that you know the scale of each chart that you are using as the active chart. As you zoom in, you may change charts as you go from a smaller scale chart to a larger scaled one and it is not always apparent. When you get to the largest scale chart available, then you may start to magnify the chart (over zooming.) You must stay aware of the scale and any over zooming so you don't become confused. For example on a 1:80,000 chart, one inch equals 1.1 NM. When you zoom in, this relationship changes to where 2 inches might equal 1.1 NM.
All vector charts are WGS-84 calibrated so they are directly compatible with your GPS. However, some raster charts may be NAD 27 datum, or in foreign waters something entirely different. It is important that you know the datum of the electronic chart you are using and set your GPS accordingly.

Intheswamp...e-mail me firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you instructions to put a trap on the tree, you can build it yourself from a nuc or 8 or 10 frame deep. A good tree will get you 3 to 5 starts ( 3 to 5 pounds each), each year, and you don't kill the feral colony. You can trap year after year.
The purpose of the trap is to get you three to five pounds of bees for a start. After you remove them, let the tree build up for a couple weeks, then trap again. Normally after two starts you will need to wait about 30 days, unless the colony is a very large one.
A bait hive is at best, hit and miss. In fact you will miss, far more often than you will hit. Of course it is good to have bait hives out, but the trap will weaken the hive each time you remove a start and help prevent it from swarming. If it does swarm, they may go 20 feet or they may go 1/4 to 1/2 mile before they find something they like.
The trap is a sure thing. A bait hive is better than nothing, but no guarantee they will go into it, regardless of distance from feral source.
Hmmm, sounds like this would be actually trapping the bees out of the hive using your trap. I really don't want to interrupt this colony in any way as it appears to be a survivor and a good strong one. I would hate to think I did something to harm them by weakening them beyond their natural swarming. I really appreciate the offer of the info and would still like to see your method in case a situation arrives that would work for me....game?
Another Wow! for Tomas.
I think we found someone that can give OD a run for his money.
intheswamp..... you are not going to hurt the feral colony unless you over trap and weaken it. This time of year that is difficult to do. You will be able to tell how strong the feral hive is, by, how many days it takes to get 3 to 5 pounds of bees in your trap. A good strong hive will put three to five pounds of bees in your trap within 24 to 48 hours of introduction of the unsealed brood. If it takes longer, let them come and go through the trap and let the colony build back up. The trap is an integral part of their colony, and it doesn't bother them.
If you get the queen, you will have a good survivor queen, and the colony will make itself a new queen this time of year, since there is normally lots of unsealed brood available for the feral colony to make themselves a new queen. As you get futher into the year it becomes more problematic that they can make a new queen.
If you allow them to naturally swarm, they will find a new home, may or may not be in one of your bait hives. I trap the same trees year after year.
send me an e-mail and I will send the info along with photos of two of my traps in progress. The photos show the process of trapping from start to ready to relocate.
Cleo - I am excited. From one cutout, I have the main feral colony, plus my bee tree (minus roots) in my garden, and a nuc, that appear to have bees and queen. Flow is on and about to pick up speed massively around here. I intend to let the bees in the hollow tree get themselves established, then just mount a swarm trap on it and harvest multiple colonies this spring. After I get the woodware to keep up with the bee-flow built.
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
Gypsi..... Sounds like a plan to me. Good Luck. Wonder if oddfrank would let you put a trap on one of his hives. HA!!! He is way ahead in this contest.
In Kentucky, our swarm season has just started. Only caught 2 tree hangers so far. We don't have a lot of feral colonies. Mites in the late 90's and a highly agriculture area with lots of pesticides, and feral bees are scarce.
Cleo - most of our ferals died in the last month. Drought and dearth last year, warm winter with few stores this year. The cutout I just did had red honey, which means they lived on hummingbird food that people put out.
These are a lively bunch of bees, but pretty docile. Might be all the mites draining their energy, but they just seem to be sweet bees, if prolific. They did rob out the contents of hive B and steal all their honey. I think they let the bees join the club though, seems like the bee count doubled in size and the hive entrances were 3 inches apart.
Inthe swamp, that is one purty bee tree - would wear a trap proudly.
and Tomas is definitely winning the swarm catching contest. OD doesn't stand a chance. None of us do.

Charlie started the original thread, not me, he is the macho competitive guy, not me. I just don't think swarm crazy African bees are fair competition.
Like I said, I may have an unfair advantage with africanized bees. Maybe we need to level the playing field a bit--two of mine for every one of yours up north? I'm not taking this challenge overly serious though--just good fun.
I do take my swarm trapping seriously, however. It would be really nice to have a fourth yard with 20 or 30 hives in production next year. I just got the location of it confirmed yesterday. Getting the apiary set up with hive stands is on the agenda for next week. I've got too many bait boxes with bees that need a home. There are seven sitting in my back yard that I need to move out. Another three are still hanging in a tree.
Just so everyone knows, I am from the States, Wisconsin to be exact--I just happen to have lived down here in Honduras for the last 20 years. I came down here with Peace Corps and sort of fell in love with the place (or I should say with my wife). Africanized bees can be ornery but that challenge makes beekeeping here that much more interesting.
Good luck to every one else on catching swarms.
Since the texans, SOCal beeks & floridians are allowed in the challenge, african bees must be OK.
Where or how would one draw the line. DNA testing?
I think since the thread is named after me, I should be able to change the rules as I see fit.
TWO more today and the weather wasn't even good. And I doubt that they are AHB.
I know I'm in AHB country but so far all my feral colonies behave no different than my store bought.
Anyway, I got my 4th swarm in the same box and place as #2, at my son's house. I moved first catch into a deep because all 5 frames were drawn and I wanted to try with that box again, and it only took a couple days for this next swarm to move in. I took it out to my apiary and went through it. There's a queen and 2 drawn frames (beside the existing drawn frame) and a decent amount of bees. The only box of the 4 I have not gone into yet is the one in my back yard.
I am done now, unless I decide to order more deeps. I only have enough for these colonies. I have 12 hives now which was my goal...but it sure would be fun to keep trying.
(I am not an addict, I am not an addict,)
Ok, everyone check in and tell us your swarm count. Remember, each individual swarm had to have chosen your trap and moved in on their own. I have not had one swarm move in to any of my traps yet.
Charlie B... Oddfrank.. Just checked my swarm hives this morning, (About 12 miles and 25+ traps) Found two occupied since last week. One very small, only covering one brood frame, but saw the queen. Only two I have caught so far. Here in Kentucky we don't have a lot of feral bees, and I am one of the few beekeepers with lots of hives. None close to me. Valleyman may be the closest, 25 miles.
At one of my swarm boxes I saw about 30-40 bees coming and going on the landing board and i thought I had a third one, but nothing inside. Might have been scouts looking for a home. I caught two there last year, but, they were late in the year. I put two good dark brood combs in and will check it in a couple of days. I am out of lemongrass oil. Need to order some today.
Oddfrank is in no danger of me beating him.
Ten traps out, no bites yet.

AB's style is to run with every ounce of effort on every run. He punishes his feet pushing them with extreme effort every time he is being held up. It is not in him to just give up.
If he gets well enough in another month, perhaps the Steelers take a flier on him. I doubt he'll practice, except to walk through plays. But, he learned our offense nicely and was always reliable on Blitz pickup... which tells me he can learn what he needs to in order to be dependable on Sunday. Ben will like his blocking and I see AB getting 6-8 carries and 3-4 receptions as an average.
I wish him well. He will always be in my top ten all time Giant "Effort and heart" guys. Helped us to 2 SB's... No one can complain about what he gave the Giants

That's a job in itself for a busy schools chief. But Morrison says good communication is key to keeping a school district's leadership team moving in the same direction -- and feeling good about working together.
"The relationship between a superintendent and school board is a lot like a marriage," he says. "You have to be diligent to make the relationship positive."
Such diligence is paying off. Washoe County school leaders feel better about their working relationship, and they're proving to be more effective. Since Morrison was hired in 2009, the board has developed a code of ethics, set new strategic goals, and brought in consultants to train it in school governance. They've weathered serious budget challenges while continuing to focus on academics, which resulted in a 12.5 percent jump in the graduation rate in about a year.
It's a good start for this new leadership team, and a hint of what's possible when superintendents and school board members build a strong, dynamic partnership -- a "game- changing" meld of management and governance that brings new energy to a district.

Train Show Up & Running at the Domes
The most popular show at the Mitchell Park Domes, the "Westward Ho" Train Show opened on Saturday, Jan 16 and will continue everyday until its last day, March 14. One of the largest model train displays in the Midwest, the Domes Train show is a hit to people of all ages and some guests come back to see it several times during its 3-month run. It is pure enjoyment and no one really knows what makes moving train displays so very, very soothingly captivating. Maybe the fact that they always return, kind of like a good friend....For music fans the Domes will also serve as host to its "Music Under Glass" performers on Tuesday Night, Jan. 19 with "5 Card Studs" considered the hardest working lounge band in the Midwest from 6:30-8:30 pm (for the reasonable general admission entrrance fee). Lets see, we have moving model trains on over 500 ft. of track with live music all encased under the living beauty of the Mitchell Park Domes. This makes sense to see.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Gregg Allman
Allman's instrument is the organ, and he is most effective, when he is in top form, as a singer. His first instrument, ironically enough, was the guitar, and he took it up before his older brother Duane did. But Duane learned it better and quickly eclipsed Gregg. Where Gregg did excel, however, was on the organ and as a singer (a role Duane was never comfortable with), which proved important but not at the center of a group that became famous for its 40-minute instrumental jams and three-hour sets. Through their early efforts, in bands like the Allman Joys and the Hour Glass, they shared the spotlight, with Duane taking the lengthy solos and Gregg fronting the band and offering Booker T. Jones-type keyboard playing. Liberty Records signed the Hour Glass and tried making Gregg into the focus of their efforts during the late '60s, but it never quite worked.
When the Allman Brothers were organized, the flashy (and vital) instrumental moments belonged to his brother and Dickey Betts and, later still, Warren Haynes. Gregg's songs, however, including "Whipping Post" and "Midnight Rider," were among the group's notable originals during its classic period, 1969-1972. Beginning with Brothers and Sisters, Betts' songwriting and singing assumed increasing prominence.
It was during the period that Brothers and Sisters was burning up the charts that Gregg Allman emerged as a solo artist with his first album, the critically well-received hit Laid Back, which put the softer, more serious, soul- and gospel-tinged side of his work in sharper focus. A tour followed, which yielded a live album that was also a success. This first period of solo popularity was interrupted by a combination of professional and personal conflicts; the Allman Brothers Band toured extensively and struggled to come up with a follow-up to Brothers and Sisters, and Gregg Allman began a relationship with Cher, the ex-wife and singing partner of Sonny Bono, which resulted in a tumultuous series of marriages and divorces for the two. These activities were played out amid Allman's well-publicized drug problems, which culminated with his testifying against a band employee in a federal drug case, which, in turn, led to the temporary but extended dissolution of the Allman Brothers Band.
Ironically, it was during this period, in 1977, that he delivered Playin' Up a Storm, a pop-soul effort that proved to be his most accomplished and successful album. Alas, this was to be the peak of his career away from the band. His next two albums, I'm No Angel and Just Before the Bullets Fly, released at the end of the 1980s, were quickly eclipsed by the re-formed and reinvigorated Allman Brothers Band's success on-stage and on record. His 1997 release Searchin' for Simplicity and the double-CD anthology One More Try had none of the urgency or success of the band's activities. In 2009, Australia's Raven Records imprint issued a 19-track, single-disc retrospective, entitled The Solo Years 1973-1997: One More Silver Dollar, that covered the whole of Allman's solo career to that date from his years at Capricorn and Columbia. In 2011, some 14 years after his last solo album, Allman released the T-Bone Burnett-produced Low Country Blues on Rounder Records.
Allman published his autobiography, My Cross to Bear, in 2012, which was the beginning of several retrospective, or at least nostalgic, projects from the singer. Most of these came to fruition in 2014. He kicked off that year with All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman, a star-studded show in Atlanta, Georgia that was released later that year as a live DVD and CD. A few days after that show, he went to his hometown of Macon, where he gave a set that was released in 2015 as Back to Macon. Finally, the Allman Brothers Band gave a series of farewell concerts at the Beacon Theater in New York City that fall. ~ Bruce Eder

Beautiful. Did you mark the pattern first, or just FMQ them as you went along?
If I could free motion quilt feathers like that , I too would never stop.
Love the feathers! I want to learn to make them. The runner is very pretty.
I love the colors & your quilting is beautiful. Glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery.
Very interesting I have never tried that. Those are my favorite colors also. You did awesome work.
That is gorgeous!!! I,m still practicing, but still not there yet.
so many quilts to make, so little time.

I saw that Alena Leonova isn't in the running for the Olympics this year. That's pretty sad, it wasn't long ago she was the leading lady of Russian figure skating. She was the top finisher at the 2010 Olympics and Silver Medallist in 2012. What happened to her? Why has she fallen? Is she injured? Is she out of shape? It seems that like Artur Gacinski, she's struggled since winning her medal.
I hope this isn't the end of her, maybe she can take inspiration of her idol, Irina Slutskaya, who was written off then bounced back.

Former Security Guard Testifies He Saw Carrier Touch Students
Key Witness Was Carrier's Close Friend
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A former security guard from Horace Mann Middle School testified Tuesday that he witnessed then Colorado Springs police officer Josh Carrier touching student wrestlers' genitals as he inspected them for ringworm and skin lesions.
Nick Graham, who said he was close friends with Carrier, is a key witness in Carrier's child sex abuse trial. He told the court that there were times when he and Carrier pulled student wrestlers out of class. This would happen if the wrestlers had missed their regular morning weigh-in or if Carrier, a volunteer wrestling coach at the time, had noticed something irregular on a student's skin during a weigh-in.
Graham testified that, at times, he saw Carrier ask boys' to take off their underwear so he could look for lesions in their genital area. He said Carrier would look at the inside of the boys' thighs, look at their genitals and move their genitals with the back of his hand as he inspected the area.
Graham also said he saw Carrier touched a student's genitals as he was strip searching the boy, looking for drugs. Graham added he believed a school administrator was there at the time, but he couldn't remember who.
When questioned by Carrier's defense attorney, Graham said he never felt the exams or searches were inappropriate or he would have reported them. He said none of the wrestlers seemed confused or upset by them.
Graham told the court that he'd had extremely little training when he started as a security guard at Mann. He agreed with the defense attorney that he often looked to Carrier for guidance.
"He was a police officer," Graham said quietly, at one point.
He said what's happened has been "killing him."
Graham said, before Carrier was arrested, they used to meet and play Magic the Gathering card games for "hours on end." The pair planned to move in together and start a DJ business. Graham cooperated with police after Carrier was arrested, allowing them to record a calls he made to Carrier and then pushing his friend for information. The court heard the calls on Monday.
Graham is still employed by D-11, but has been re-assigned to technical services.
Before Graham took the stand, jurors heard testimony from top administrators at Mann Middle School who said they felt Carrier was an "asset" to the school during the time he was an officer and volunteer there. They said Carrier used his own money to buy new wrestling mats and help pay for a wrestling trip. He was described as someone well-loved by students and trusted by staff.
Carrier was a school resource officer at Mann during the 2009-2010 school year. Then the city cut resource officers at middle schools for budget reasons. Carrier continued on at Mann as a volunteer.
