I got mine yesterday. Sadly, the night sights are nearly dead on mine. I turned out the lights and they could just be seen. I am checking to see what they cost to "recharge" or whatever it's called.
The gun is in real decent shape, just carry wear on the outside, and I would guess about 500 rounds through it, judging by the barrel wear compared to a friend's 4506. One of the two mags has a couple of rust spots on the outside of it, but it seems to be fine otherwise. I don't know if I will keep it, as DAO isn't my cup of tea, but I will be shooting it Sunday. I expect it to work fine. It came pretty clean, I just wiped it down with CLP, and took it apart enough to inspect everything.
Now I have a 5906 coming!

Opportunities for campers to perform on stage range from our Weekly Showcase Series and the Campfire House Band to our July & August Talent Shows and the popular Camp-A-Palooza Concerts held every two weeks.
Talking about concerts, if you're a rocker or an aspiring rocker, you've got to check out the Rock Band Program!
ROCK BAND PROGRAM (click here!)
big part of Lohikan's Music Department is the Rock Band Program. Whether you're a beginner or accomplished musician, we've got a band for you!
Campers participating in the Rock Band Program are grouped with other campers based upon age, ability, and musical interest. Small group instruction in guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals is provided by specialty instructors.
New Rock Bands are formed every two weeks. Campers work with specialty instructors on original music as well as classic rock tunes. Each band is assigned a producer who prepares the band for its debut performance. After a week of instruction, rehearsals and teamwork (one to three periods a day), the band takes the stage and performs a set in one of Lohikan's Camp-A-Palooza Concerts. The concerts are amazing! …and rock band participants receive a CD copy of their performances too!
The concerts are scheduled as an evening activity or an afternoon special event and hundreds of fans are in attendance! Awesome concert venues include the Skate Park Lounge, the Lohikan Bowl (amphitheater), and the Cavern (Rec Hall). As curtain time approaches the excitement builds and the camper audience can be heard yelling out encouraging cheers for their bunkmate rockers! Then the bands hit the stage, one by one playing their favorite tunes and rocking the camp! It's a lot of fun to watch, but it's even more fun to be on stage and perform in front of a live audience. The applause is unforgettable!

Where I stayed
Sand and Sea
Serge and Nikki had planned a hike during our stay at Seaside and today was the day. They packed the baby carrier for Theo - which is didn't want to get into because he doesn't like to be confined. Kim and Chuck joined us. At the trailhead, we tried to figure out how far we would have to go for the first lookout point. We walked up steadily but there didn't seem to be any lookouts for that first bit. The entire trail was 7 miles long and went all the way to Cannon Beach. I am not sure how far we went - we climbed over and under huge logs; hopped and slid over the mud patches in the trail. Other than the mud, the trail was lovely...with huge trees, lots of ferns, and wildflowers along the trail.
After Theo's afternoon nap, Nikki and Serge took him out with his lawnmower walker on the beach. They found that the sand next to the water's edge was the best for pushing. Theo whizzed along with Serge encouraging him, or chasing him. It is always fun to watch his little feet run behind the mower. He absolutely loves that toy!

|Social Explorer, U.S. Census Bureau; 2000 Census of Population and Housing, Summary File 3: Technical Documentation, 2002.
|Summary File 3 Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Definitons of Subject Characteristics -> Housing Characteristics -> Vehicles Available
The data on vehicles available were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 43, which was asked on a sample basis at occupied housing units. These data show the number of passenger cars, vans, and pickup or panel trucks of 1-ton capacity or less kept at home and available for the use of household members. Vehicles rented or leased for 1 month or more, company vehicles, and police and government vehicles are included if kept at home and used for nonbusiness purposes. Dismantled or immobile vehicles are excluded. Vehicles kept at home but used only for business purposes also are excluded.
Aggregate vehicles available
To calculate aggregate vehicles available, a value of "7" is assigned to vehicles available for occupied units falling within the terminal category, "6 or more." (For more information on aggregates, see "Derived Measures".)
Vehicles per household (Mean vehicles available)
Vehicles per household is computed by dividing aggregate vehicles available by the number of occupied housing units. Vehicles per household is rounded to the nearest tenth. (For more information on means, see Derived Measures.)
Limitation of the data
The statistics do not measure the number of vehicles privately owned or the number of households owning vehicles.
Data on automobiles available were collected from 1960 to 1980. In 1980, a separate question also was asked on the number of trucks and vans. The data on automobiles and trucks and vans were presented separately and also as a combined vehicles-available tabulation. The 1990 and Census 2000 data are comparable to the 1980 vehicles-available tabulations. In 1990, the terminal category identified "7 or more"; this was changed to "6 or more" in Census 2000.

Council approves gravel for Half Mile Road
The Jenkins City Council on Monday, June 10, approved an $8,505 bid from Swenson Aggregate & Construction, LLC to improve Half Mile Road, which includes adding 900 yards of Class 1 gravel to be compacted and topped with dust control.
"It receives more traffic than people realize," said council member Gary Brown.
Mayor Jon Lubke agreed, and the council appointed Kendall Swenson of Swenson Aggregate & Construction to improve the road this week.
In other business June 10, the council:
• Approved the bylaws for the Planning and Zoning Commission, which has been renamed the Jenkins P&Z. The commission advises the council on matters relating to planning and zoning.
Krista Okerman, city clerk and zoning administrator, said the commission is looking for new members to join the five-member commission. Without new members or interest from residents, Okerman said the city would consider transferring the responsibilities of the commission to Crow Wing County.
• Discussed the possibility of purchasing a root grapple. Lubke agreed with the council to table the concept of purchasing the grapple for the time being and suggested the city could rent one if necessary.
• Approved the purchase of a new truck. Public Works representative Roger Olmscheid said the current truck, a 1994 Ford F-350 with 193,000 miles, will not run. Okerman said the truck has cost the city $5,700 in repairs and towing since the fall of 2010.
The council agreed to allocate up to $25,000 to buy a new Ford F-350 truck, which was listed under the state of Minnesota bid through Midway Ford of Roseville.

Cass board meets in closed session on MPCA issues
The Cass County Board met in closed session with County Attorney Christopher Strandlie at the end of the Tuesday, Jan. 8, regular board meeting to discuss possible pending litigation.
The issue discussed involves Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) allegations that the county and its highway contractors violated MPCA rules during a road construction project.
If the county and/or the contractors contest the allegation, they would have to do so in court, said Administrator Robert Yochum.
The board set a special meeting for 9 a.m. March 26 at Deep Portage Conservation Reserve near Hackensack to learn more about efficiency measures the state has implemented under its "Lean" program.
The state will pay for a state Lean trainer to explain how 18 agencies have improved processing time an average of 68 percent and service to the public while cutting task time 44 percent and costs an average of $85,000 per event.
Minnesota Department of Administration sponsors these training sessions, funded by the state general fund.
The Cass board officially set its meeting schedule for 2013, with regular meetings to start at 9 a.m. the first Tuesday of each month at the courthouse in Walker and the third Tuesday of each month at the land department building in Backus.
Tentative exceptions will be to move the Dec. 3 meeting to 2 p.m. Dec. 5 at the courthouse in Walker, to move the location for the Dec. 17 meeting to the courthouse in Walker and to hold both November meetings at the land department building in Backus.
In the months of May through September, the board will meet the second Tuesdays at 6 p.m. at town halls throughout the county rather than in Backus. Locations will be announced later.
The board approved paying employee meals and incidental expenses for costs incurred outside the county at up to $20 per day when no overnight travel is involved. No meals are paid when costs are incurred inside the county.
Up to $46 per day will be paid for costs incurred outside the county when overnight travel is involved. Those rates increase for expenses incurred in Dakota and St. Louis Counties ($56), Hennepin and Ramsey ($71) and Olmstead ($51). Itemized receipts are required for all expense payments.
The board named all five commissioners, Yochum, Auditor-treasurer Sharon Anderson and County Engineer David Enblom to represent the county as delegates to the Association of Minnesota Counties.
Walker Pilot-Independent was named the official county newspaper for 2013, with Cass Lake Times to print the second publication of the county financial statement. That newspaper's was the lowest of three bids received.

Oregonians 'e-cycle' more tech, TV
Collection raet among highest in nation
PORTLAND, Ore. - The Oregon E-Cycles Program, now in its fifth year, continues to show growth in its collection of unwanted computers, monitors and televisions throughout the state, the Department of Environmental Quality reported Wednesday.
The program tallied a more than 3 percent gain in total pounds of materials collected in 2012, according to final figures released by the DEQ.
DEQ administers the program, which has grown to a network of more than 250 collection sites and recycling facilities statewide that accept computers, monitors and televisions for free.
Electronics manufacturers collect and recycle the materials and pay registration fees to cover DEQ's administrative costs. DEQ sets collection goals each year.
In 2012, Oregon E-Cycles sites and recycling facilities collected 26.7 million pounds of materials, up from the 25.9 million pounds in 2011. During its first year of operation, the program collected 19 million pounds of discarded electronics products.
"Oregon E-Cycles reached a new high in terms of pounds in collected in 2012," said James Padilla, E-Cycles project manager. "We expect to see continued gains through 2013. We encourage Oregonians to visit www.oregonecycles.org when it comes time to recycle computers, monitors and TVs. The website is a great resource for finding convenient collection sites throughout the state."
The 26.7 million pounds of Oregon electronics waste collected in 2012 represents 6.9 pounds per Oregonian. Among states with electronics recycling laws, Oregon's 6.9 pounds-per-capita collection rate ranks among the highest in the nation, based on data compiled by the Electronics Recycling Coordination Clearinghouse.
The recycling of electronic waste collected in 2012 achieves an energy savings equivalent to 3.2 million gallons of gasoline, as well as greenhouse gas reductions equal to tailpipe emissions of 6,325 cars per year.
For more information on the Oregon E-Cycles program, go to DEQ's home page at www.oregon.gov/DEQ/ and look under "How do I: Recycle my computer or TV?"

I finished mine this afternoon. For the corners, instead of cutting more of my prints I decided to use some of the too small quarter square triangle pieces, sewed them together into squares, and set them on point in the corners.
Thanks for the train ride, Judy! It's been fun.

Town Square
Original post made by Paul Losch, Community Center, on Sep 19, 2013
Another tragic death up in the hills this week.
A new bike rental program that has been implemented in other cities, and by appearances, needs some time for it to work its kinks out.
Those riding bikes here in town, from adults to parents navigating their kids to school to are on their own do not appear to have any regard for stop signs, bike lanes, or traffic lights, at least in my experience.
a resident of Adobe-Meadow
on Sep 19, 2013 at 6:47 pm
Amen Paul! I saw a Palo Alto officer stopping bicyclists who were racing their bicyclists through the tunnel near the California Ave train station which was so terrific to see. That's a very big safety risk so I was thrilled they are stopping it.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Sep 19, 2013 at 6:48 pm
It is definitely time to have a rational discussion about this.
As someone who walks, bikes and drives around town, I see some bad walkers, bikers and drivers, all who need to improve their road skills.
Bikers need to be ticketed for their bad adherence to traffic laws. It is not just not stopping at stop signs which is what is always mentioned, but riding on the wrong side of the road, using lights, speed on descents on mountain roads, riding more than two abreast, riding in packs. Stopping for crossing guards when they are being waved on by the guards teaches children to disobey the rules.
Bikers riding in dark clothing at night without lights makes them totally invisible to an oncoming car or someone entering from a sidestreet or backing out of a driveway. They must be more visible to be safe.
I would also like to see more reflective vests and bicycle bells being used too. Calling something to a pedestrian while riding up behind them is not a good idea, it can be completely mistaken for calling out to a friend. A bell is very distinctive and can be identified as a bike coming immediately.
While we are at it, lights on motorized disability scooters too please. Pedestrians carrying a flashlight at night makes sense too to help them to be seen.

I see how "speed on descents" got into Resident's litany of "bad adherence to traffic laws." Do cyclists actually bust the max posted, e.g. 45 mph on a particular section of Skyline? Or is the implication that bike speed limits should be lower than motor vehicles because cyclists are harder to see? The basic speed law does prohibit speeds greater than "reasonable or prudent."
Cars routinely do 25 mph in residential Palo Alto (I'm being charitable). But a bicycle going that fast, easily attained with a stiff tailwind, looks quite reckless.

On weekend, groups of bicyclists crowd the long section of Page Mill where it winds through the hills. They ride in the middle of this very narrow and windy stretch, often two abreast. There is no room for both cars and bicycles! My daughter's boyfriend, who works with the Stanford Life Copter, says they have to fly up there to rescue injured bikeriders 1-3 times every weekend in the summer months, because there is no way an ambulance can get up that road!
On Stevens Canyon and Montebello Rds in Cupertino, bicyclists often ride in groups of four abreast, when the laws clearly state that they are to ride single file. They flaunt their law remaking so they can chat?
Why do these people so endanger themselves? In a limited-space situation, they are unprotected and stand no chance against a heavy automobile! It seems they purposely put themselves in harm's way. One bicyclist on Alpine Rd in Menlo Park turned left in front of an oncoming car, during rush hour, without any kind of signaling and apparently for no reason. Needless to say, he was creamed!

As a follow on to my previous post, I would love to see police ticketing bicyclists for breaking laws these laws. I have never seen or heard of bicycle being stopped by the police and warned let alone ticketed, but I could be wrong.
Instead, as drivers we are always told to be aware of bikes and if we should accidentally hit one, it is always assumed it is our fault even though the bike may have been riding dangerously or breaking a law.
It would only take the police a few days of stopping and warning bikes, giving a few tickets, and making their presence seen to send a message to the biking community that they need to tidy up their act. At present they seem to have carte blanche at breaking all traffic laws and still get away with it as far as tickets go, but they don't get away with it if they end up in a collision with another vehicle and end up hurt or worse.
I once was a witness (while a pedestrian) to two bikes crashing outside one of our elementary schools. Both riders were at fault, but the language and anger they both had for each other was road rage at another level. As a witness to the incident neither party wanted my name and phone number, they just wanted to yell abuse at each other. I left them both picking up bits of broken bike and swearing at each other. Their scratched arms and legs with blood on their clothes seemed to be the only injuries, but they seemed to be oblivious that they may have caused serious injury to each other.
It is definitely time for the police to be more vigilant in their attitude to bikes and traffic rules.

Amen Resident. Palo Alto Police, please ticket bicyclists who violate the traffic laws. Skyline and Thw Tunnel near California Ave. are prime spots.

To be fair - all travelers (autos/trucks/motorcycles, bikes, pedestrians) have their fair share of inconsiderate, ignorant and voluntarily disobedient incidents.
All deserve to get their warnings and tickets.
My only advice to bike riders is that they do use their bike light (strobe setting) during the day. I do this and I have personal experiences that prove that a strobe can save you from an accident. As much as we'd like - not all bike riders are clearly visible on the road. Take the easy step to protect yourself.

"CVC 25250: Flashing lights are prohibited on vehicles except as otherwise permitted."
I've finally rationalized the legality of strobing bike lights, given that a bicycle is by definition not a "vehicle" (CVC 670)

When we lived in Oakland Hills, police used to ticket bicyclists breaking these laws quite a bit. Once, in Fremont, I saw a police officer arresting a man on a bicycle for "riding while intoxicated"!
Before the layoff of so many PAPD officers, I used to see officers ticketing bicyclists for flying through stop signs, and kids for riding without helmets. But up here in the hills, we never see anyone ticketed for riding three or four abreast, riding on the wrong side of the road, or in the middle of the road, or running stopsigns. I think the bicyclists know there is no enforcement in the hills, and flaunt that fact

The tv channels were reporting yesterday that a 12 year old was killed riding his bike to school by an suv where the driver was another parent at the school. The fact that he was riding his bike on the wrong side of the street, going against traffic, was only a passing mention. It is so dangerous riding against traffic, but school children are doing it all the time. Teach children to ride bikes safely.

Just this morning, I was driving north on Park heading to California Ave. I observed a tall man (thirtyish) bicycling the same way, but on the wrong side of the street, against traffic. Then, after crossing California Ave, he went up onto the sidewalk on his left until he got to Cambridge. Then he went off the sidewalk, crossed Cambridge without stopping, onto the sidwalk on the other side, until he finally stopped at his apparent destination.
I felt that his actions were childish and dangerous. I would have liked to see him ticketed. That kind of unpredictable behavior is what gives bicyclists a bad name and scares the wits out of drivers.

"when the laws clearly state that they are to ride single file."
I believe this is simply wrong, but I'm open to being corrected. Can anyone provide reference to statute or regulation that says that bikes are to ride in single file on normal roads?

Paul Losch is a registered user.
One other thing that both scares and galls me are people who ride their bikes on sidewalks.
This behavior is especially scary in business districts. It is great that people biking to work are doing so, but as I walk my dog along University at the start of the day, it becomes a logistical mind game to deal with someone who is riding a bike on the sidewalk. Major safety issue for the cyclist, for me, and for my dog.

Crypto-Christians or secret Christians in Ottoman Cyprus who pretended to be Moslem. These guys were Latin and Maronite Catholics who became Turkish Cypriots over three centuries of Turkish rule. Linobamvaki is a derogratory term used throughout Cyprus to describe these folk. It means Cotton-Linen in Greek, as on one side they were Cotton and on the other they were Linen, in other words they were both! Meaning indecisive!
Example people from Louroudjina, Monarga, Limniti, Ayios Theodoros (Larnaca), Anglisides, Potamia, Ayios Sozomenos, Galinoporni and Ayios Thomas (Limassol) village in Cyprus are of Linobamvaki origin.

Get the look of a traditional carriage-house garage door for a fraction of the retail price. With these DIY plans you can make your own using a standard hardboard garage door.
Spike Carlsen is a former editor at The Family Handyman and is the author of three books: A Splintered History of Wood, Ridiculously Simple Furniture Projects and Woodworking FAQ.
Our Greek Revival house stood garageless for the first 150 years of its life, so I knew when it came time to add one, it had to honor the character of the old girl. I also knew I had a bad case of sticker shock after shopping for a carriage house–style overhead door. Wood doors of the style I was looking for started at $2,800 and climbed to three times that amount. So I did what any self-respecting do-it-yourselfer would do: I built my own. And I did it using an inexpensive hardboard door, cedar boards and tongue-and-groove paneling.
You can use the techniques shown to customize a new door or update an old one. Note: The design shown on the following pages isn't exactly like my door shown above. I changed some details, especially about the arch.
Since most "off the shelf" doors these days are metal or fiberglass, you may have to special-order your hardboard door through a home center, lumberyard or garage door dealer. Do your homework: I had some quotes as high as $800—more than twice what I paid.
I purchased cedar boards, rough sawn on one face and smooth on the other, for the rails and stiles, and 1/4-in. x 4-in. x 8-ft. cedar tongue-and-groove material—often used for interior wainscoting or closet lining—for the recessed slats. Choose material that's straight with a minimum of knots. Cedar is ideal because it's lightweight and naturally rot resistant. In some parts of the country, you may need to special-order it.
Use a pneumatic finish nailer. This will allow you to work twice as fast as hand nailing, and since the nail heads leave only tiny dents, the primer and paint will fill them, saving you hours of nail setting, puttying and sanding. The nails are important, but it's the adhesive that holds the boards flat and secure for the long haul. I used heavy-duty "subfloor" adhesive for that task. The caulk is equally important since it keeps moisture from getting between the boards and the door. I used white silicone caulk—itself a tenacious adhesive—for that job. Some silicone caulk isn't paintable—and it's usually available in a limited number of colors. If you can't find a silicone caulk that matches the paint color of your door, buy a "paintable" version.
To ensure accurate cuts, beg, borrow or steal a power miter saw.
I actually built and installed my garage door 10 years ago—and haven't had a lick of trouble since. Before you launch into your project, keep these factors in mind:
Hanging a garage door is tricky—and potentially dangerous—work. I suggest you do what I did: Have a professional hang the door. A pro will know how to install the door, the track and the opener safely. Plan to talk BEFORE you start your project to get additional input into the work you're doing.
Lock the panels together with 1x3 cleats and drywall screws. Snap chalk lines to indicate the edges of the rails and stiles. The four "openings" between the stiles should be of equal width.
We designed our 16-ft.-wide door to resemble a pair of smaller carriage house doors, but you could come up with other designs. You can increase or decrease the number of vertical stiles, install a straight top rail instead of an arched one, or install crisscross battens for a barn-door look.
Measure the height and width of each door panel, as well as the overall height and width of the assembled garage door, and sketch it out on graph paper. Draw in the rails and stiles and how they meet so you have a solid game plan.
Position your four garage panels on the floor. Make sure they're in the proper order (if they're new, they'll be marked top, middle, middle, bottom) and that the edge grooves overlap properly. Temporarily secure them to one another using 1x3 cleats and drywall screws (Photo 1). Transfer the measurements from your graph paper to the door, then snap chalk lines to indicate the edges of all the rails and stiles.
I first snapped lines for the horizontal rails, then the lines for the two 1x4 outer stiles and the 1x8 center stile. I measured between the edge stiles and the center stile to find that center point, then snapped lines for the intermediate stiles (Photo 1). When I was done, the four spaces between the stiles were identical in width.
Run beads of construction adhesive and caulk before nailing on the rails and stiles. The caulk locks out moisture along the edges while the adhesive provides long-term holding power.
Apply silicone caulk to the ends of the stiles before butting them against the rails. Use nails sparingly; just enough to hold the parts in place until the construction adhesive cures.
Center a scrap of plywood below the door and drive in a screw to act as a pivot point. Hook on your tape measure, hold your pencil at the desired radius and "swing" an arch across the top rail. In this case, the 10-ft. mark on the tape provided the perfect radius. Cut the arch with a jigsaw.
Determine the exact length of the slats for each panel, then clamp down a bump block to cut them to identical lengths.
Temporarily fit tongue-and-groove slats together, then center this "test panel" in the opening. Mark the two end slats, then cut them to width for the installation.
Run triple beads of construction adhesive and a single bead of silicone caulk at the top of the door panel, then nail the slats into place, one by one.
Apply additional caulk where the slats butt into the rails and stiles.
Apply two beads of heavy-duty construction adhesive and a bead of silicone caulk to secure the bottom rail (Photo 2). Install the caulk bead so it's just "kissing" the bottom of the chalk line; that way the caulk will smoosh out a little to help create a watertight seal along the top of the board. Set the bottom rail in place, rough side up, and secure it with nails every 12 inches.
Next install the edge, center and intermediate stiles (Photo 3). Their ends should be even with the seams between the door panels. Use your chalk lines as guides for laying down beads of construction adhesive and caulk prior to installing each board. Also run beads of silicone caulk at the outer edges to create a good seal. Install the 1x6 rails at the top of panel 3.
Draw the arches onto the 1x12 top rails (Photo 4) using a screw as a center point and a tape measure as a giant compass. Cut the arch using a jigsaw and smooth the edges by hand or by power-sanding. Install the arches using construction adhesive and silicone caulk.
Measure the height for the tongue-and-groove slats for panel 1. Mark one of the slats to length, position it on the miter saw, then install a "bump block" so all the slats you cut for panel 1 will be identical lengths (Photo 5).
Nest a dozen or so precut pieces side-by-side to create the test panel shown in Photo 6. Center it in the opening, then mark the two end slats so the slats will be centered during the actual installation. Rip the first piece to width as indicated by your mark, then install it with the tongue facing out. Continue installing the other pieces (Photo 7). Rip the last piece to the exact width so it butts tightly against the other stile. Install all the pieces in panel 1, then move up to the second panel. Your "starter pieces" in each section of each panel should be identical.
Once all your slats are installed, apply more silicone caulk where they butt to the stiles and rails (Photo 8). Remove the 1x3 cleats holding the panels together, place the panels on sawhorses and prime all the exposed edges and surfaces with a thick coat of stain-blocking exterior primer. Really work it into the exposed end grain of the slats to prevent moisture from wicking in. Once the primer has dried, apply two coats of good exterior paint, again paying special attention to the exposed ends of the slats, rails and stiles.
Call your friendly neighborhood garage door person to hang your new creation. Expect to pay $300 to $500 for installation of the door and an opener.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Beatrice was so happy to see Christopher that she greeted him with a piggyfront.
by thisisfuuuuun January 05, 2013
In essence this is the piggie-front, but with more sexual conotations. The man stands up, ERECT, and poises for the jump. The woman stands directly across and prepares to recieve the man's meat club. The man leaps and penetrates the sloppy waffle while hanging on like an orangutan cub to its mother. Sex ensues. It is also nicknamed the squealer because the woman squeals like a pig.
That bitch was squealin after that piggy front. Then she died.

Following a recent move to my new home, I decided that it was a perfect opportunity to begin a new sourdough starter. Using the BakingMad.com starter recipe, I filled a large 1litre kilner jar with 70g flour and 70ml water, giving it a good whisk together with a mini whisk until all the lumps of flour had been dispersed. I left the sourdough in pride position in my warm kitchen and set my phone as a reminder to feed again the same time next day.
The following day I repeated the process, and perhaps due to the extreme warm weather, the starter was bubbling and increasing in size in no time. I found that due to the sealed lid on my kilner jar I felt the need to open it and let out some of the air pressure when I passed by it in the kitchen, as I had heard tales of monstrous sourdough starters that had built up excess C02 pressure and burst open!
By day 3 of feeding my sourdough it had begun to develop a rather unsavoury smell, which whilst perfectly normal for a starter, does make you want to reach for the air freshener! I took it as a sign that the starter was doing its sweet merry little thing and bubbles continue to produce following each feed.
Day 4/5 I noticed that the sourdough had appeared to separate with a liquid layer on the top. Some sources suggest that you pour away this top liquid and others say to mix back in with the starter. I must say that I tried both methods and both seemed to keep my sourdough starter ticking away nicely.
By day 6 the kilner jar was beginning to fill up near the top – in hindsight I think I probably needed a bigger jar than expected (perhaps a 1.5/2 litre). There was an unfortunate incident on this day when the starter decided to make an escape from the jar and run all over my new kitchen surfaces! That was the day the starter was nicknamed by the family as 'The Beast'.
Day 7 and I couldn't wait any longer to bake my first sourdough loaf . Before baking, I would recommend that you have a whole day spare, as unlike a standard loaf, sourdough takes an age to prove – but it is totally worth the wait believe me!
Over 6 hours later the dough was ready to be baked, so I scored the top with a knife and baked in two batches in the oven. Although the loaves were only small on this occasion, they certainly made up for it in flavour and the second loaf was given away to family members as a dinner gift.
I fed the starter again the next day to top it up a little and have stored it in the fridge now, with a view to feeding it once a week. I plan to bake another loaf next weekend before experimenting with other sourdough style recipes.
Whilst the sourdough starter can seem a bit high maintenance to begin with, it's certainly worth the wait so give it a try!

Cameroon et al., (2010) in their paper on "Robust Inference with
Clustered Data" mentions that "in a state-year panel of individuals
(with dependent variable y(ist)) there may be clustering both within
years and within states. IF the within-year clustering is due to
shocks that are the same across all individuals in a given year, then
including year fixed effects as regressors will absorb within-year
clustering and inference then need only clustering on state)"
Does this imply then that if I cluster by time as well, then I do not
need to include year fixed effects?

Reviews of this property
Maria had been a fantastic and welcoming host. Her apartment is clean, lovely and spreads a warm atmosphere. You should be somewhat tolerant to street noises, as your sleeping room is towards the street.
Maria is very kind and her hospitality is like feeling at home. The house is clean and nice, not a lot big but enough for an holiday and the room is comfortable. The place is near sagrada familia and near the metro so it's easy to arrive everywhere.
Good points
- location: pretty central and 2 blocks from the nearest metro stop. Most sights are 5-8 stops away.
- clean
- nice apartment
- Maria left the apartment just to us for all bar the first night.
- kitchen had stuff to use in it
Bad points
- no ventilation in the room; it got very hot and we couldn't get a fan.
- no locks on bedroom and shared bathroom doors
- couldn't contact host (who was not staying in the flat) when there was an issue. We were given an invalid mobile number.
- room wasn't ready when we arrived (at 2130)
The flat ist 200 m away from the metro station, some shops and supermarkets are nearby. The rooms are frendly, modern (IKEA) and clean, and the equipment works orderly. The hostess also lives in one of the rooms of this flat. We felt very well here und that is to thank the charme and the frendliness of our hostess.
We were staying with my sister for 5 days and the stay was very good!The location is perfect -close to Sagrada and there is a metro station nearby. Mireia is a nice person! The rooms are clean and there are always leans towels. Ww enjoyed staying in her apartament!
Very good situated location - metro, grocery stores, bars, cafeterias nearby . Less then 15 minutes walking to see Sagrada Familia. Room was clean and very cosy.
I can honestly recommend it. Thank you Maria!
We went to Barcelona on the 2nd of June, and we spent there 7 nights! The appartment is really nice and warm, Maria is really nice and friendly person! If we have the chance to go there we will be definitely stay at Maria's!
My friend and I had a very pleasant stay at Maria's. The location could not be better - La Sagrada Familia, a metro station, supermarkets, shops and cafés are within walking distance. The room is definitely big enough for two and the balcony is big enough so that one person can sit outside, it was also very useful to dry our clothes. Everything was nice and clean! We can only recommend to stay at Maria's! :)

The ABC countdown show will kick off at 10 p.m. on the east coast, and after midnight they will send things over to Fergie, who will handle the West Coast party with performances from Brandy, Karmin, Pitbull, OneRepublic and Flo Rida. More performances will be announced soon.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be touring this summer in Europe in support of this year's album Wrecking Ball. The tour starts May 26 in Munich, Germany and continue for two months until the final show in Belfast, Northern Ireland on July 20. Springsteen is set to headline Rock In Rio in Brazil on September 13th. A little more locally, he will also be playing at the Hurricane Sandy benefit, 12-12-12, at New York's Madison Square Garden on December 12. Tickets for that go on sale December 3 through Ticketmaster at noon.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse have announced that they will perform a special benefit concert on December 6 at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, NJ, with proceeds going to aid victims of Superstorm Sandy. Proceeds will go to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy relief effort, and tickets go on sale Friday, November 30.Spotify has announced their top streamed songs for this year and Gotye's hit "Somebody I Use to Know" has taken the gold, being the service's most streamed song. Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" and fun.'s "We Are Young" took second and third respectively.

Rihanna was the most streamed female artist, and Coldplay was the most streamed group.
The Beastie Boys are taking heat for their first two albums Licensned to Ill and Paul's Boutique. The plaintiff is the go-go band Trouble Funk, with their label TufAmerica that filed the lawsuit. Rolling Stone reported that "TufAmerica alleges copyright infringement, unjust enrichment and misappropriation; the label seeks punitive damages and a permanent injunction on the sale of the two records containing the samples." The Beastie Boys responded stating that there's no "substantial similarity" between the tracks, and questioned the twenty year gap between the release of the albums and the lawsuit. The Hollywood Reporter reports that TufAmerica argued the samples are "concealed . . . [to] the casual listener" and that the only way to notice a similarity is with "careful audio analysis." The Boys dismissed the claim, saying that "Because Plaintiff admits that the casual observer cannot identify Plaintiff's musical compositions and sound recordings ... there can be no substantial similarity."
For his second time, Conan O'Brien will be hosting TNT's Christmas in Washington special. The special will be benefiting the Children's National Medical Center. Each year the President and First Lady attend the concert; this year they will be seeing performers Diana Ross, Smash star Megan Hilty, Demi Lovato, Chris Mann from The Voice, and American Idol winner Scotty McCreery. And what would any large-scale concert be without a special closing performance of "Gangnam Style" by PSY? The concert will taped at the National Building Museum in Washington D.C. on December 9.
Former Kyuss members Brant Bjork, John Garcia and Nick Oliveri have announced a new project called Vista Chino. The group, comprised of the three founding members of Kyuss plus guitarist Bruno Fevery, are currently recording new material in anticipation of a 2013 worldwide release that will coincide with major touring plans. Meanwhile, Oliveri also has been in the studio with his other former band, Queens of the Stone Age, to record vocals on one song for the band's next album.

"I believe I've transcended," Van Morrison sings in an extended, in-the-moment riff towards the end of the title track from his recent live album, Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Few would beg to differ, for over the course of this historic concert, Morrison seems to transcend age, time and whatever other affects turn some veteran performers into wan caricatures of their former selves better suited to halls of fame than halls of music. Now, for those who couldn't be there to go "into the music" under that star-filled Los Angeles sky, Morrison has released a concert film—his first since 1990's Van Morrison: The Concert—that documents the soulful evening measure for remarkable measure.
"It was an alchemical kind of situation," Morrison has said of the 1968 New York recording sessions that yielded the original Astral Weeks, which, although poorly promoted by Warner Brothers upon its release, now regularly places at the top of critic and reader surveys of the greatest albums of all time. Forty years later, a similar alchemy prevails as Morrison and another group of musicians—some old, some new—come together for Astral Weeks:The Concert Film. Never one to repeat himself or rest on his laurels, Morrison doesn't merely perform his classic album from cover to cover. He re-imagines it from the ground up, from a reshuffled track list and new orchestrations to a dramatically expanded "Slim Slow Slider," transformed from a plaintive, three-minute album closer into a wailing, heart-wrenching eight-minute centerpiece. Throughout, from the first pluckings of "Astral Weeks'"s pizzicato bass line to "Madame George'"s stirring invocation to "get on the train," Morrison stands center stage, singing, grunting, speaking in tongues, strumming his guitar and blowing his harmonica with such passion and vigor that it really is as though he is playing these songs for the very first time. To be born again, indeed.
"For me, it's about going back to the source," Morrison has said, and thanks to Astral Weeks: The Concert Film audiences can take that journey with him—back to the beginnings of an extraordinary five-decade solo career that has produced more than 30 albums, hundreds of songs and a worldwide popularity that continues to grow with each passing year. Thirty-five years after setting the gold standard for live recordings with the seminal It's Too Late To Stop Now, with Astral Weeks: The Concert Film Van Morrison once again surpasses himself. --Scott Foundas

Established at the outset of the punk rock boom, Stiff Records signed various punk and New Wave acts such as Nick Lowe, The Damned, Lene Lovich, Wreckless Eric, Plummet Airlines, Elvis Costello, and Ian Dury. The label's marketing and advertising was often provocative and witty billing itself as "The World's Most Flexible Record Label". Other slogans were "We came. We saw. We left", "If It Ain't Stiff, It Ain't Worth a frick", and "When You Kill Time, You Murder Success" (printed on promotional wall clocks). On the label of Stiff's sampler compilation Heroes & Cowards was printed: "In '78 everyone born in '45 will be 33-1/3". A very early Stiff sampler album, A Bunch of Stiff Records, introduced the slogan, "If they're dead, we'll sign them" and "Undertakers to the Industry".
In the early '70s Nilsson heard a track at a party (which he assumed was by The Beatles) and liked it, later recording it himself. That record would go on to hit #1 around the world and become a standard:
"Without You"
"Without You" (demo)
Badfinger - "Without You" (original version)

Whether or not our 2 new DT's help or hurt will come in time but one thing for sure- this team has to do something about its lack of presence in the defensive middle. Every team knew thay could get 1 or 2 on 3rd or 4th if needed; and every team did that when it called for it. As much as the Giants tried to make CC a 4-3 DT he just wasn't stout enough at that spot. At least now we have 5-6 honest DTs on the roster, no wanna be's. Lets see what else JR has up his sleeve! Go Giants!
Before picking these guys up they where extremely thin at DT. Now they have some competition heading into camp.
Watch Patterson career stats vs Eli and u will see that he is a animal on the line

Health-wellness center coming to NW Crossing
Taylor Brooks LLC, a joint partnership of Taylor Northwest and Brooks Resources, announced Friday that they will develop a health and wellness center at NorthWest Crossing.
The new Shevlin Health and Wellness Center, which hopes to offer everything from primary medical to holistic care and from fitness to veterinary services, will be located at the SW corner of Shevlin Park Road and NW Crossing Drive.
Todd Taylor, managing partner for Taylor Brooks, said, "We're working with a fantastic team of experts to make this new center a reality to serve our community. With a growing population, easy access to health care services is an important amenity for everyone. The breadth of services we are looking to offer will essentially create a 'one stop' location for healthcare."
TaylorNW will begin site work in late spring, with vertical construction beginning this summer. Upon completion, the development will encompass 11 single-story buildings totaling around 64,000 square feet. BBT Architects is designing the buildings for the center which will complement existing natural beauty of the site. The single-story buildings are consistent with NorthWest Crossing architecture which Todd Turner of BBT describes as a "timeless, contemporary blend of traditional forms."
Fratzke Commercial, which is managing the leasing for the project, is actively seeking tenants in specialty medical services, general healthcare, pediatric, dentistry, wellness, holistic care, fitness and even veterinary. The Shevlin Health and Wellness Center's offerings will complement many of the services available in the NorthWest Crossing neighborhood center, making health and wellness services much more convenient and accessible on the west side of Bend.
Brian Fratzke of Fratzke Commercial said, "We're taking a close look at healthcare and medical providers that can 'cross-pollinate' with one another, so a person doesn't have to look far for any specialty need. For example, we envision patients coming here for an eye exam, who will then be able to walk across to another building in the same complex for their naturopath appointment or dental cleaning. It's all about accessibility and convenience for whole body health."
Taylor Brooks LLC has made connectivity a priority for the new health and wellness center, working with Bend Area Transit to create a new stop for city buses, connecting pathways and sidewalks to existing trails and convenient access and parking for vehicles. Taylor said that he anticipates the first tenants to be open and operating before the end of 2014.

When a game comes saddled with as much hype as L.A. Noire, one is tempted to judge it by an unattainable standard. Does it represent a highwater mark for technical achievement? Does it advance the video game as an artistic medium? These are the conversations lighting up gaming blogs and message boards. But is L.A. Noire any good? That turns out to be a harder question.
You can hardly blame insecure players who are still waiting for some higher power to confer cultural legitimacy on games, especially when Roger Ebert still walks the earth. L.A. Noire seems like a better candidate than most to earn that honor. Set in 1940s Los Angeles, it follows the travails of Cole Phelps, a straight-arrow cop whose investigations keep putting him at odds with some of the city's most powerful figures. Although the storyline is very much genre stuff, the world in which it takes place is our own. Grand Theft Auto–style mayhem isn't on the menu.
L.A. Noire's central conceit is bold, especially for a big-budget game: it's a slow, methodical police procedural. After arriving at a crime scene, Phelps scours the area for clues. (Inspecting fresh corpses is a gruesome task.) He interviews eyewitnesses, follows leads, and, usually, hauls one or more suspects down to the station for interrogation.
Much of your time is spent determining whether those suspects are lying. This can be accomplished by matching up their testimony with the evidence you've gathered, but more often you can tell just by watching the person's face. Detailed facial animations mean you can see every dry swallow and sideways glance. In this case, the hype is real: you really can read the actors' faces, clear as day.
What's not so clear is what you do with this information. After a subject speaks, you have three response options: "Truth," "Doubt," and "Lie." The first two don't always mean what they should. Sometimes they're just distinguishing between a soft touch and a strong-arm. Selecting "Lie" works only if you have solid evidence that contradicts the statement, but the game's tenuous logic doesn't always make sense even in retrospect. It's frustrating to get an answer wrong and not understand why, but not as bad as getting the answer right and not understanding why — which happens almost as often.
When L.A. Noire goes to the well of standard action-game tropes, it suffers. Although the interrogation scenes are varied and surprising, the action scenes tend to play out the same way over and over. Fistfights, shootouts, and car chases all follow a template from the beginning to end, with varying degrees of competence. And when Phelps has to shadow a suspect on foot, the result is a spectacular bellyflop of a stealth sequence in which his quarry appears capable of seeing through walls.
L.A. Noire is ambitious enough to be taken seriously. As a whodunit, it provides a cerebral satisfaction that's missing from most high-profile console games, and its advances in character animation set a new standard. But with its stiff, awkward, abundant action sequences, it's far too often guilty of playing to the cheap seats — and badly, at that. This is not a step forward for the medium; it's just the same old story.

You say the jacket is made in India...the PM web site IMO makes out that the product is made local as in GA...advertisement I'd say... What you think
You say the jacket is made in India...the PM web site IMO makes out that the product is made local as in GA...advertisement I'd say... What you think
From the ad:
we weave the fabric, extrude our own synthetic fabrics, do our own sewing, and market our product directly to you -- we can guarantee the quality of the product that you receive. And, we can set a price that you, our customer, will be sure to love. You can certainly pay more for ventilated bee wear somewhere else, but we do not believe that you can buy a better quality ventilated bee suit.
I tried to upload a pic of the tag inside the collar. No luck. Anyway, MADE IN INDIA Actually since it was brought up, I do remember thinking it was made in America from the ad. I do buy American when I have the option. I could see where someone might get upset over this. Perhaps PM could offer an explanation. Isn't that where Dolly Parton lives? I think I'll give her a shout bout this
There's another thread on this somewhere (I think a search for Pigeon Mountain will turn it up). They mentioned they own the fabric companies so they produce the fabric and sew it, just not in the US.
Edit: Here's the thread and a post with the exchange from Pigeon Mountain and a beesourcer: http://www.beesource.com/forums/show...983#post713983
Thank you for posting that link. The product is as they described and I am satisfied with it. No beef there. I guess when you own a company overseas, the non American employees are consider "weeuns" . I know some tractors are "Made in America" but assembled in England I think and so advertised. Anyway. Perhaps a label stating such would go a long way. "Products manufactured is America, Assemble in India". How much more could the label cost?
According to the Mann Lake size chart a Medium would have fit me but I ordered an XL just for that reason. We'll see how it fits when I get it. I don't care if it's a little too large. I want it to hang down a bit.
I hear ya Charlie. Recently at the Bee Symposium in Auburn, AL I tried on an imported suit that one of the vendors had there. I tried an XL. Even though it was a bit "bulky" around me (I'm 5'-11' and around 175 pounds) reaching above my head resulted in the sleeve pulling back and exposing wrist and some forearm. Even the guy helping me with the suit said if I got one a size bigger (XXL) it would simply be too big for me in other areas. If I get a suit it will be because I will be doing cut-outs and may find the need for reaching overhead. I haven't started pulling supers of honey, yet, though, so I may find other reasons to get one.
I ordered a Mann Lake vented jacket which was the same size as the regular jackets I wear. Is on back-order but will let you know how it fits when I get it.
Try living life with the attitude it's not about what you want to do but what you should do!
Just me personally, but I'd order it one size bigger.
I have a Pigeon Mountain Full Suit and love it.
Raising Vermont Bees one mistake at a time.
USDA Zone 5A
Did anyone receive a Mann Lake Vented Suit or Jacket yet? I need to get a suit ordered soon, so I would like to hear about the quality. I received an email from Mann Lake today and they said the suits are in-stock.
Yes, got my jacket in Wednesday and tried it on. Very heavy duty and stiff. It looks to be impossible to get stung with this thing unless the bee has a 4" stinger. The veil is stiff and stands alone. Although the inside label says it's made in India, it looks to be very well sewn with quality materials.
The jacket is cut big. I ordered an XL when I probably should have gotten a large. I'm 5'10" 185. When I reach straight up with both hands the sleeves come up my arm about 2 inches so you want to make sure you have gloves that make up for that when doing overhead cutouts.
My only concern is the zipper system on the veil is a little weird. I had to look in the mirror to zip it shut. One part of the zipper overlaps the other and you have to make sure the bottom zipper is tucked in all the way before you zip over it. There is a Velcro connection underneath the zipper system that will stop bees from getting in your veil if you don't get the zipper zipped all the way. I've practiced a few times with it and finally got it. The brass zippers look pretty industrial and I think they would last a long time.
The one top and two side pockets are double stitched with Velcro tabs in the center so your hive tool or bee brush wouldn't fall out. I wouldn't get to close to your smoker with this on because it would melt the rubber panel sandwiched in between the mesh.
The washing directions are:
Hand wash cold with similar color.
Do not bleach.
Do not wring or twist.
Low iron.
Anyway, I haven't done hive inspections yet because it's been raining here steady. As soon as it clears up, I'll report back. That will be the true test. That being said, overall I would say it's a pretty good jacket comparable to the UB and well worth the money.
So guys it sounds like ML and PM are carrying the same product but not the same as Ultrabreeze... Charley didn't you say you had a Ultrabreeze...is it the same...I have also been waiting to order one from ML...I am 6'1" 260 lb by the way the sizes run what size would you suggest...thanks
Wore my Manlake jacket today. No stings. No breeze but stayed cooler than I thought I would. Fits well. I ordered the same size as the jackets in my closet that I normally wear.
Try living life with the attitude it's not about what you want to do but what you should do!
OK! Time to fess up!!
After the discussion we had on buying American made, as I have stated in the past if things are sensible and anywhere near affordable I will buy American made.
After seeing beehonests approval and other of the Pigeon Mountain suit, and since it was half price to the American made Ultra breeze I ordred one (jacket). I have used it once already and while it is heavy it is open weave (weight) of 3 layers of material, it will do the job. However the jacket from Kelley Co. was never a problem with stings it is heavy woven cotton and NO air gets thru. I do not regret buying the PM jacket. It is quality made with brass zippers. I am 6' and 180#s and have long arms (35-36 sleeves) and I would say to those of you that are worried about the sleeves riding up, don't reach that high, it is what all of my jackets and long sleeves do. I would buy it again. Great service.
How ever my conscience still bothers me some!! Actually it was a Christmas present and I gave my wife the option of buying either the Ultra breeze or the PM, knowing which one she would buy. (she's conservative), so I'm as guilty as she is for buying the foreign made jacket. But I'm not a rich person so I did the common sense thing.
So much to learn, so little time!!
I have the PM and really like it. I did the "reach" things and the wrists rode up a little but the rubber gloves I wear covered the exposure. I'm 6'0" 216 with long arms. I got XL which is loose but I like the room. There was thread where PM stated the materials are made in USA but assembled in India. I guess I only have to feel half bad
"The washing directions are:
Hand wash cold with similar color.
Do not bleach.
Do not wring or twist.
Low iron."
Charlie, Do not iron. Instead, lay the suit out flat to dry. I use some outside clotheslines and stretch over the tops.
And quit bitchin about the rain. I've had a bag of sugar standing outside for a week now and it is still dry and pours right out. We haven't gotten a drop of rain down here !
If you tell me you've been catching swarms when my traps are starting to float on my roof top I'll really start crying.
