The ensō is one of the most prevalent images of Zen art, and it has become a kind of symbol of the clean and strong Japanese aesthetic. It has been subject to a rich variety of interpretations—seen as everything from a rice cake to a symbol of infinity. But regardless of how it is understood, the ensō is above all an expression of the mind of the artist who brushes it. It is said that the state of the Zen practitioner can be clearly read in his or her execution of the circle.
Audrey Yoshiko Seo brings together a collection of the best examples of ensō art to show the wonderful variety of the form and its variations, from the seventeenth century to the present, each with facing commentary. The commentary focuses on the meaning of the art and its historical context and provides an analysis of each artist's technique. Also included are biographies of the artists, many of whom are important Japanese Zen teachers.

EH-Net BH/Defcon Tweener Party
Well... it's official. Not only is EH-Net sponsoring Black Hat again this year, but we're also inviting you to join us for our 2nd Annual Tweener Party to take place on the Thursday between Black Hat and Defcon.
When: Thurs evening, Aug 7, 2008 from 8:00 - 11:00
Where: Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas
Why: FREE BEER!! That's why. First $500 on the beer tab is on us! Oh yeah, and there'll be some pretty cool folks from the security community there as well. They also serve food, so bring cash to make splitting the food bill easier.
So if you're looking for something to do between Black Hat and DefCon, want to meet face-to-face with some of the coolest people in InfoSec, and get some free beer... you better be there!
Feel free to post in this forum to let everyone know you're going, but we do need you to RSVP to plan accordingly. Send me a private message through this forum to reserve your beer... uh... seat.
See you there,
PS - They probably won't open the Beer Garden, and it was pretty loud last year. Fun and inexpensive, though. Let me know if this is cool by everyone or if you have other ideas.


text: I'm being somewhat pre-emptive with my 99 Burb. I just got done replacing the rear hubs and shoes and want to redo the front end with new rotors, bearings and pads. I have a 16 y/o daughter I share my ride with and she has managed in the last year to warp the front rotors with her bad habits (albeit she is getting better). #1 - Anyone have a suggestion on higher end brand, heavy duty rotor? #2 - Ceramic or Carbon Metallic pads? Why? #3 - Any pitfalls with doing the front bearings? They are still OEM with 210K on them so I have never had to do them yet on this model of truck. TIA! --JD

A surge in the number of older people being killed or seriously injured on the roads is being blamed on their fragility and New Zealand's ageing population.
Some 29 more people aged 75 or over died or suffered serious injuries on the roads last year, lifting the total to 199 compared with 170 during 2010/11.
This also bucks the falling trend recorded in the previous four years from 2007/08.
The latest statistics released by the New Zealand Transport Agency relating to older road users includes drivers, passengers and pedestrians.
The Bay of Plenty recorded the largest rise with 12 more elderly people hurt or killed on its roads than the previous year, followed by Canterbury with 11.
Auckland, Wellington and the Waikato saw the biggest drops.
NZTA general manager strategy and performance Ernst Zollner said safety of older people was an emerging concern for the agency because it was the fastest growing segment of the population.
Not only would there be more of them on the road, but they would also be driving further distances than before, he said.
However, while there had been a spike in the past year, he said NZTA focused on the long-term trend which showed older driver casualties were still dropping.
AA motoring affairs general manager Mike Noon said the issue with older people involved in crashes was their fragility rather than their ability.
"What would be a relatively minor accident for a younger person can result in some serious injuries for an older person," Mr Noon said.

Americas & Caribbean Holidays
3 Deals
Each Caribbean location has its own culture and traditions, offering everything from historical stays to relaxing beachfront escapes. Travelers can choose from popular spots like Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and more.
Popular among families and people looking for an easy escape, all-inclusive packages are common here at budget-friendly as well as luxurious properties. These packages tend to include flights, hotel stays, meals and some activities.
Prices are most reasonable June-November, which is hurricane season in the Caribbean. Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao are popular during those months because they fall outside of the hurricane belt. The most popular time to visit is mid-December into April, and prices can shoot up over spring break times.

Work began yesterday on the skeleton of Christchurch's temporary cathedral. The first cardboard cladding tubes, each weighing 120kg, were installed to shape the $5.3 million A-frame building.
A total of 320 tubes will be used. It's hoped this stage of building will take only about a month to complete, said Stephen Lynch, project manager for Naylor Love Construction.
"Any kind of winds at all and we'd have to stop lifting - it's programmed four weeks to get all the cardboard tubes into place but it's very weather dependent," he said.
Designed by leading Japanese "emergency architect" Shigeru Ban, the 700-seat transitional cathedral is going up on Latimer Square. It will stand in for the badly damaged Christchurch Cathedral in Cathedral Square and should be finished by April.
While described as temporary, the cathedral is being built as a permanent structure with an expected lifespan of more than 50 years.
Construction began as the city's council deferred its post-earthquake long-term plan for two years after the Government said more time was needed to form a blueprint. The council was due to release a draft plan for rebuilding the city this month.
Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee and Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker announced the decision which, they said, would allow an earthquake recovery cost-sharing method to be mutually agreed.
Under the Local Government Act, the council is required to begin consultation on its long-term plan in March. Now, the council will undertake a new plan, to be called the Christchurch City Three Year Plan, and will start consultation next month.

Reviews of this property
This property has some serious drawbacks. e.g The least one can expect is a clean apartment. This one needed 2 or 3 hours cleaning with grease and grime in the food area. Davide is portrayed in other reviews to be 'english speaking' - barely; helpful - not at all. We asked for more pillows, none were forthcoming. The pool is not suitable for children who cannot swim. If you have children, book a hotel.It is more than 5 mins to Sirmione, make that at least 10, not so good at 32 degrees. You are sharing this apartment block with residents who 'hate tourists' as Davide told us more than once. If you are a mobile couple or small family and don't mind a bit of cleaning, go ahead. If not, don't be seduced by the pretty pictures. The view is undeniably pretty and the apartment is a good size. It is a pity it is let down by poor service and location. We regretted choosing this property.
Excellent contact with Davide, and a basic, clean and secure apartment at a good price. The pool was closed sadly but that's not Davide's decision! English people have to learn to swim in colder water. Very close to Sirmione, easy to walk.
Everything was great, gladly come back.
Alles super, kommen gern wieder.
The furniture is very well furnished and equipped. Unfortunately you do not have their own balcony which gives access to 2 other apartments runs over this balcony with partial lake view. The location on foot in 8 minutes in the old town is very good. However, the road leading to the Old City, just past the house where daytime is already a lot of traffic. The small pool (mostly to ourselves) is beautifully situated behind the house on the lake. Access to the lake via conductors. On the roof terrace you have a beautiful view. The owner Davide is very nice and helpful and always available.
Die Wohnnung ist gut eingerichtet und ausgestattet. Leider hat man keinen eigenen Balkon, der Zugang zu 2 weiteren Appartements läuft über diesen Balkon mit seitlichem Seeblick. Die Lage zu Fuß in 8 Minuten in die Altstadt ist sehr gut. Allerdings führt die Straße zur Altstadt direkt am Haus vorbei, wo tagsüber schon viel Verkehr ist. Der kleine Pool (meistens für uns allein) liegt schön hinter dem Haus direkt am See. Zugang zum See über Leiter. Auf der Dachterrasse hat man einen schönen Ausblick. Der Vermieter Davide ist sehr nett und bemüht und stets erreichbar.
Hi Davide,
we loved it, to be your Guests! Maybe we will come back next year!!! Greetings from Germany!
Super location. Easy flow! Top owner! Ferries determined to go back! The best thing I've ever booked! Super continue so!
Super location. Problemloser Ablauf! Top Vermieter! Fähren bestimmt wieder hin! Das beste was ich je gebucht habe! Super weiter so!
It was a pleasure to stay in the flat.
The flat, the building an the area everything was perfect.
We hope to stay in your flat again.
David and a very nice host. The accommodation for five people was clean and nice. Behind the house is a swimming pool and behind the pool there directed the Lake Garda. A perfect place to relax.
Davide e un ospite molto simpatico. Il alloggio per cinque persone era pulito e bello.
Dietro la casa c'e una piscina e dietro la piscina c'e diretto il lago di Garda.
Un luogo perfetto per rilassarsi.

However, when I see someone use the term "visually challenged" in such a disgusting manner as you did in your post, not to mention the overall superior tone to your postings this weekend, I will call that person on it. It's one thing to try and make your point, but you crossed a line when you decided to word it that way.
Oh and if that's *not* an attack on all of us here at GS, then I don't know what is. So before accusing me of attacking you, perhaps a look in the mirror at yourself might be in order.
Secondly...I'm going to now quite happily put you on Ignore. It's going to make the rest of the season here at GS far more enjoyable.

Northstate Baseball Fans Attend Game 1 of World Series
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Some Northstate baseball fans were among the 47,000 people who crowded AT&T Park Wednesday night for Game 1 of the World Series. The Giants hosted the Tigers. Giants fans left the park happy after San Francisco won the game by a final of 8-3.
For some young fans it was more than a baseball game, it was a chance to witness baseball history. Some parents from Chico and Redding took their children out of school to make the trip to San Francisco for the game.
Nick Pappas, a junior from U-Prep in Redding, said he left school Wednesday after first period.
"When the Giants clinched the playoffs my dad said, 'We're going to the World Series,'" said Pappas. "I said, 'Yeah, I know.' And he said, 'No, seriously we are.'"
Nick and his parents told the school. But his mother Debbie Pappas still wondered if she and her husband were being responsible parents.
"Well, in some respects, no. I do have guilt because of that," said Debbie Pappas. "But he's a really good student. And we regretted not doing this in 2010, so we decided this is the year and we decided we were going to make this right."
Nick wasn't the only Northstate high school student trading in text books for a score book.
Morey Marshall and Clayton Schuler left class at Chico High School after first period. Clayton's father had box seats from his company.
"It's really cool," said Clayton. "It's a different atmosphere than any other game of the season. Everyone is pulling for the Giants. The whole stadium is packed with people."
His father Keith Schuler said it's an opportunity for good father-son bonding.
"It takes me back," said Keith Schuler. "I started going to Giants' games with my grandfather. So it's been a lot of fun. And this is such a great place to bring your kids to."
Morey Marshall said back in Chico, some teachers didn't like the idea, but not for the reason you might think.
"One of my teachers is mad at me because I'm going and he's not," said Marshall.
Tickets were selling on Stub Hub for between $330 and $7,800. There could be several more opportunities for Giants fans to take in a World Series game. Game 2 is Thursday night at 5:07 p.m. PT.
With the Giants facing a tough Tigers lineup, the series could go six or seven games, which would bring the series back to San Francisco.
Fans already witnessed history in Game 1. Giants' 3rd baseman Pablo Sandoval became the only fourth player in baseball history to hit three home runs in a World Series game. The only other players to accomplish that are Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Quiet studio with everything you may need. Located in Babin Kuk, a very interesting area of Dubrovnik plenty of local bars and hiking paths. Connected to Old Town (Bus no. 6,only 10 minutes) and to the main bus station (15 minutes walking). Staff is friendly, they even gave us a cellphone to communicate with them for free. April was a perfect choice because the city wasn't crowded and the weather was excellent. Thank you!
Lovely apartment with stunning views. Private pool was a blessing but is a few steps up the hill from the apartment. Good that there's a fridge freezer in this area though and a really nice patio set. All rooms fully air conditioned. I was on the fold down couch which was comfy so presume all other beds really comfy too. Provided bath and separate beach towels. There isn't a road to he front door so prepare to carry bags up and down, though the driver helped a lot. If you are not good on your feet I'd stay elsewhere, which would be a shame. The view is worth the 471 steps into the old town (yes I counted). Also useful that they provide a local cell phone to contact the office with. They said they were happy to be called to book taxis or whatever but we didn't use them for that. A very beautiful stay.
Everything was perfect! I thank Vesna and her husband as well as all the Hedera Team. Dubrovnik is a wonderful city and I enjoyed every bit of it!
That was wonderfully beautiful, fairly and correctly. I will use services of Wimdu again and gladly recommend it to my friends and edging
Das war wunderbar schön, fair und korrekt. Ich werde Service von Wimdu wieder nutzen und gern meinen Bekanten und Freunden empfehlen
If you have the hotel then found me, you are pleasantly surprised about the small apartment. Very clean and well furnished, we felt very comfortable.
Wenn man die Unterkunft dann mal gefunden hat, ist man ueber die kleine Wohnung positiv ueberrascht. Sehr sauber und gut eingerichtet, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefuehlt.
For a long time I and my boyfriend wanted to bring us in Croatia, we have chosen Dubrovnik and purchased airline tickets, just needed more accommodation in which to spend our holidays, so we relied on Wimdu, and thanks to this site we found accommodation suits us: "Cozy and Nice Hedera Studio 6". This newly renovated studio has been able to meet our every need, in fact, is located next to the supermarket, it is not far from the beaches reachable through a beautiful boulevard full of bars, the bus stop is very close and within minutes you can reach the beautiful Old Town. We were greeted with kindness, and the girl from the agency provided us tickets for visiting the islands Elafiti. We recommend this apartment, for comfort and for the peace and quiet to ensure a good night's sleep !!
Da molto tempo io e il mio ragazzo desideravamo recarci in Croazia, abbiamo scelto Dubrovnik e acquistato i biglietti aerei, mancava solo più l'alloggio in cui trascorrere le nostre vacanze, così, ci siamo affidati a Wimdu, e grazie a questo sito abbiamo trovato la sistemazione adatta a noi: "Accogliente e Nizza Hedera Studio 6". Questo monolocale recentemente restaurato ha saputo soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza, infatti, è situato accanto al supermercato, è poco distante dalle spiagge raggiungibili attraverso un bel viale ricco di locali, la fermata dell'autobus è molto vicina e in pochi minuti è possibile raggiungere la bellissima Old Town. Siamo stati accolti con gentilezza, e la ragazza dell'agenzia ci ha fornito i biglietti per la visita delle isole Elafiti. Consigliamo quest'appartamento, per la comodità e per il silenzio e la quiete che vi garantiranno un ottimo riposo!!
Very nice apartment on the ground floor and on the back of a small building. Reserved parking for the car in front of it. Entrance area very nicely done, and invites you to sit outdoors. Maintained interior and clean. With great pleasure again. Realtor on site was very nice and personable!
Sehr schönes Appartement im Erdgeschoß und auf der Rückseite eines kleinen Wohnhauses. Eigener Stellplatz für das Auto direkt davor. Eingangsbereich sehr schön gemacht, und lädt zum draußen sitzen ein. Innen gepflegt und sauber. Sehr gerne wieder. Maklerin vor Ort war sehr nett und sympathisch!
We spent a great week in Dubrovnik and we recommend that all people traveling in pairs to choose this apartment in the hills of Lapad.
Focusing Lapad for a living environment but not overcrowded as is the old town.
Magnificent view from the balcony (ideal for breakfast or romantic dinner!)
Furnished, equipped, comfortable.
Ability to request a shuttle to and from the airport - the person who will take care of you will give you lots of useful and practical advice + can book with her excursions on the islands (not to be missed).
The first beach is 5 minutes walk: choose "mini-splits" long pier for more quiet and privacy.
A multitude of restaurants and bars also 5 minutes walk: we recommend the restaurant "Levenat" for its quality, its affordability, its service and its idyllic location ...
Nearby in the new apartments "lapadski dvori".
Bus stop nearby to reach the old town in 10 minutes.
Namely: the apartment being in height, you'll have to use a staircase of over 160 steps each time you leave the apartment (on the way down, so to climb back) - a condition physical minimum is required to enjoy the environment ... ideal for people who wish to stay in shape without starving!
To summarize: do not hesitate for a second, go on this apartment.
Nous avons passé une excellent semaine à Dubrovnik et nous recommandons à toutes les personnes voyageant en couple de choisir cet appartement sur les hauteurs de Lapad.
Privilégier Lapad pour un environnement vivant mais pas surpeuplé comme l'est la vieille ville.
Vue magnifique depuis le balcon (idéal pour un petit déjeuner ou repas en amoureux !)
Meublé, équipé, tout confort.
Possibilité de demander une navette depuis et pour l'aéroport - la personne qui vous prendra en charge vous donnera pleins de conseils très utiles et pratiques + possibilité de réserver auprès d'elle des excursions sur les iles (à faire absolument) .
La première plage est à 5 minutes de marche : privilégier les "mini-criques" sur le long de la jetée pour plus de calme et d'intimité.
Une multitude de restaurants et bars également à 5 minutes de marche : nous recommandons le restaurant "Levenat" pour sa qualité, son prix abordable, son service, et sa situation géographique idyllique...
Commerce à proximité dans les nouveaux appartements "lapadski dvori".
Arrêt de bus à proximité pour rejoindre la vieille ville en 10 minutes.
A savoir : l'appartement étant en hauteur, il vous faudra obligatoirement passer par un escalier de plus de 160 marches à chaque fois que vous quitterez l'appartement (à descendre à l'aller, et donc à monter au retour) - une condition physique minimum est requise pour apprécier l'environnement... idéal pour les personnes qui souhaitent garder la ligne sans se priver !
Pour résumer : n'hésitez pas une seconde, foncez sur cet appartement.

you should see the poll i did a few years ago about handguns--
the 357 mag wheel-gun came in a reasonably close second to the 45acp.
everybody was sort of shocked the 357mag did so well in our little informal poll.
nothing wrong with a 357 as a carry piece IMHO, if i go back to a carry wheel-gun that is probably what it will be.

LNKD: Hillside Cuts to Hold on Valuation
Shares of professional social networking site LinkedIn (LNKD) are up 74 cents, or 0.4%, at $176.10, despite a downgrade to Hold from Buy today by boutique firm Hillside Partners's Rory Maher, who argues that the company's multiple of enterprise value to Ebitda of 54 is about topped out at 4 times the average multiple of peers.
Maher thinks the company can continue to produce new features to induce people to sign up and use the site, though at the same time, mobile presents some diminishing returns for the site:
We believe Linkedin will continue to introduce a steady stream of new features that lead users to improve their profiles and increasingly interact with the site. As a result, the Company will likely be able to boost ASP of its Hiring Solutions product as the better data leads to better results for recruiters and increase ad revenue as users spend more time on the site [...] Mobile Ad Monetization Challenges, But Greater Engagement Will Lead To More Data. We estimate mobile will account for 30%-35% of total Linkedin traffic in 2013, up from 27% in 4Q12. Currently we believe mobile use is incremental to PC use, but will likely take up an increasing amount of historically core usage time. As a result, we believe the smaller screen currently provides fewer opportunities to drive ad revenue. However, we believe mobile ad formats will improve and the data compiled by increased mobile engagement should help Hiring Solutions sales and ASP.
Maher's estimates are actually higher than the Street's, at $1.54 billion in revenue and $1.56 in EPS this year, versus consensus of $1.49 billion and $1.35. But he sees a cooling of growth limiting upside:
Our estimates assume total Y/Y revenue growth decelerates to 58% in 2013 then to 14% in 2014, 11% in 2015, and 12% in 2016, resulting in 23% CAGR during the period. if CAGR were to be 38% through 2016 our valuation would be $243 assuming no change in margins, If CAGR were to be 10% our valuation would be $121 assuming no change in margins.

Referral and Assessment
Patients are accepted on a referral basis. Physicians, social workers, discharge planners, family members, or potential patients can refer individuals to Riverside Rehabilitation Institute. The Institute's Information and Admission Coordinators can be reached by calling 757-928-8000 or 800-262-3019 or through E-Discharge and AllScripts.

The assessment can be performed in another hospital where the individual is receiving medical care, in the patient's home, or wherever it is most convenient. The completed assessment is presented to the Medical Director of Riverside Rehabilitation Institute, a physiatrist (doctor of rehabilitation medicine) who evaluates the information and, if appropriate, approves the admission.

While teaching the adult Sunday school class I mentioned bee stings for treatment and our pastors wife said that she had arthritis in her thumbs and she stung herself 7 times in each thumb joint and has not had any pain for 3 years. She mentioned her knee hurting so I brought her some bees and she stung herself on the knee and 1 week later she says it is doing much better with no pain.
Just thought I would pass it on.

White added that he currently has "about 20 to 25 tracks I'm working on right now. A lot of songs. So it's a good time for writing for me." However, he doesn't know when a new album will be finished. White told the magazine he wants to keep recording with his all-male and all-female backing bands "and work on the things with no intention of what it's going to be. No competition between the bands. People just keep writing and recording until I decide what it's going to be. And I haven't decided yet." He also added that the new songs are "definitely not one sound. It's definitely several. Like you heard in Blunderbuss, there's many different styles there. I don't pick my style and then write a song. I just write whatever comes out of me, and whatever style it is is what it is, and it becomes something later. Someone else can label it if they want to, but as it's being written and recorded I'm just trying to service the song as best as possible."
White also said that the members of his other bands, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, all live nearby in Nashville now, and that the Raconteurs have "recorded some things, too."
He also alluded to a number of projects in the works for 2013, saying, "I could work 24 hours a day at Third Man all year if I wanted to. There's so much going on. So much going on, and there's so many amazing things that are gonna come out in the next few months that I'm excited about. I just look at it like one step at a time and I don't think too far ahead. I don't have any shows booked for this year at all. It's nice to have an open road in front of me."
You can read the full Q&A here, in which White talks extensively about Third Man Records, his plans to reissue rare Depression-era music with Document Records and much more.

Some details may be speculative, and may not turn out to be correct.
Los Santos
|Grand Theft Auto V
|San Andreas
- This page is about Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V. Did you mean Los Santos in GTA San Andreas?
Los Santos is a fictional city existing in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, based on the real-life city of Los Angeles, California. The city is portrayed in a contemporary time period, which is intended to be present-day around the date of the game's release, sometime in the spring of 2013.
Unusually, the entire map will be open to the player right from the start of the game, rather than being restricted to a small corner or island until reaching missions that open up access to other portions of the map. This is in keeping with GTA V's philosophy of letting the player do whatever he/she wants to do, rather than being forced to do certain things at a certain time in a certain way. Rockstar also felt the map was too large for the player to be restrained to a certain area.
Although sharing similar characteristics and landmarks as the city's appearance in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the physical layout is completely remade, not being a like-for-like copy of the city's previous map.

Air Canada Flies on Cooking Oil
John Izzo | Posted 09.09.2012 | Canada Business
Read More: Air Canada Cooking Oil, Air Canada, Power of the Consumer, Airbus, Westjet, Environment, Sustainable Airplane Fuel, Eco-Friendly, Sustainable Fuel, Canada Business News
Air Canada has recently announced the "greenest flight" in the history of the airline. The flight operated between Toronto and Mexico City on June 18 when an Airbus 319 filled with passengers flew with a 50/50 mixture of normal jet fuel and bio-fuel made from recycled cooking oil. While this news was obviously a savvy marketing move for Air Canada, it also said a great deal about what must be done to achieve sustainability in our lifetime.

@valsharLocale: San Francisco Bay Area
Just curious if anyone could post photos up of how they lash their poles together to prop up their pyramid shelter, like a MLD DuoMid.
I am wondering if you use the wrist straps on the poles to help hold the two poles together.
Plus, being able to lash the poles together would save weight by eliminating the need for a pole jack.

I have two 16 inch poles jacks from BPWD under 5oz for both combined. IMO much easier to just put the pole jacks on versus strapping Velcro and connecting the rope. I find the pole jacks to be much more sturdy plus I like the inverted V for more space in the Duomid.Dec 17, 2012 at 6:19 pm #1936165

I used to use velcro and straps, but now I use a short piece of copper tubing and stick the hiking pole tips into each end. A little bit heavier but much easier to use and more reliable.

A bit off topic, but the latest Gossamer Gear LT4 poles go a bit longer now (54-56"), and they easily work with a DuoMid without any jack. I really like the simplicity of this.Dec 17, 2012 at 9:52 pm #1936213

The LT4 poles have a lot of neat secrets. One that I noticed and never see referred to is that you can actually combine the two poles with NO added parts into a single pole that goes up to 80". That's right, you can pitch enormous pyramids like the MLD SuperMid with just a regular pair of LT4's.
To do this, pop the small cap off one of the handles and pop the little piece of tape that's underneath too so you have access to the upper end of the carbon tube. Now you can simply grab the lower section of the other pole and screw it into the top of this pole. Even if you don't need a super tall pole, this is a nice way to pitch any pyramid in rough weather because at 50-60" almost the entire thing is doubled up, so the pole is significantly stronger than a single pole extended to the max.
The downsides are (1) you've got tips at both ends, so if your shelter doesn't have a grommet at the peak for the pole tip, you'll need some sort of protection for the tent. Bringing along a metal shot glass would be good and could be multi-use :). I normally use a single pole with my DuoMid, but if I really hit rough weather I'd use both like this and toss my metal cup over the upper tip. The second downside is that with the cap removed from one of the pole handles, if you're hiking in extended wet conditions you do get some water in the pole which makes it more prone to slipping. The upside though, is that you don't get the air/pressure lock inside the poles that makes them tough to adjust in length.Dec 20, 2012 at 1:27 pm #1936986

When I had a mid, I connected my BD poles together with an 8 inch section of pole sawed from a replacement lower section. It was around 1.6-1.9 oz. Just remove the 2 lower pole sections, and insert this into the bottom of both poles.

In this thread we were discussing which soybeans produced nectar.
I have bees parked next to both the white flowered and the blue flowered varieties.
What I have noticed so far is that the blue flowered variety will start out as white but turn blue/purple as they bloom. My bees that are working the bluish colored variety are bringing in good amounts of water white nectar even without much rain and really hot weather.
The bees sitting on a field of pure white blooms are not bringing in anything at all. The honey they do have that is still uncapped is amber in color. Still they are not expanding at all at this time and the bloom has been in full florescence for quite some time with good rain once a week since it has come up.

DWE357 Recip Saw
The most intriguing new corded tool announced at the recent DeWalt media event is a reciprocating saw designed to be used with one hand or two. The DWE357 has an angled motor and handle that serves to shorten the length of the tool while also providing one-handed balance. The overall length of the saw is 14 1/2 inches–sized to squeeze between joists or studs–and its weight is a relatively light 6.8 pounds.
Even though the DWE357 is built to be more compact than most corded recip saws, I still consider it a "full size" saw in capability because of its 10 amp motor and generous 1 1/8-inch stroke length. These specs set the saw apart from lightweight corded and cordless "mini" recip saws on the market which are designed to be operated primarily with only one hand.
Of course, it's possible to run full sized recip saws with just one hand once started in the cut, but the long distance between your rear hand and the blade make it hard to push down with much force. In addition, starting a cut accurately and catching the cantilevered weight of the saw at the moment of cut-through are both difficult procedures to do with only one hand. The shorter body of the DWE357 affords greater control in these situations and with less strain on your wrist.
Like DeWalt's other recip saws, this new model features their trademark blade holder with two slots - one with standard orientation and one set perpendicular to allow better access for flush cuts, and a single-position pivoting shoe. When asked why their saws didn't have adjustable shoes (a feature that prolongs the life of blades and provides control of the tool's cutting depth), a product rep stated that a fixed shoe kept users from removing it and using the saw without a shoe for demolition work. Not the answer I was expecting, but interesting nonetheless. A tool-free blade release lever and one-finger variable speed (0-2,800 spm) trigger round out the tool's features.
The DWE357 is expected to hit the shelves in early fall priced at $129.
DWE575 Circular Saw
The DWE575 is slated to replace two of DeWalt's top selling premium saws, the DW369 and closely related DW368. I have high hopes for this new saw. It stands to reason that it must be something really special if the manufacturer is willing to discontinue top performing models for its sake. The focus of the new saw is lighter weight (8.8 pounds) and a slightly more compact size--about one inch less in overall width than its predecessors. In use, the saw felt pretty light, but it's not a miniaturized version by any means, it's a real saw.
The DWE575 boasts full size specs such as a 15 amp motor, 5,100 no-load rpm, 2 9/16-inch cut depth, and a class leading 57-degree maximum bevel angle.
The design of this saw abandons the tough plastic composite shoe found on the brand's current premium saw for a more conventional stamped aluminum shoe, but added features include an integral sawdust blower and the same shock resistant power cord attachment that premiered on DeWalt's latest worm drive saw a few years ago. This ToughCord system allows the saw to be lifted by the cord without damage.
Two versions of the saw will be available this fall: the basic DWE575 ($129), and the DWE575SB with the addition of a blade brake and a kit bag ($139).
12 Volt Max Recip Saw
DeWalt is adding a mini recip saw to their 12 Volt Max line. With a three-position articulated handle, the DCS310S1 is practically a ringer of brandmate Porter-Cable's mini saw without the work-holding clamp on the front.
The new saw is pretty long so it's easy to use with two hands like a conventional saw whether the handle is folded out flat or in pistol grip position. The stroke length is 9/16 inch and the variable speed trigger runs the blade up to 2,700 spm. An LED headlight helps you cut in the shadows.
The saw will be offered in three SKUs, available this April: the DCS310S1 kit with one 1.5 Amp-hour (A-h) battery ($149), the DCK212S2 two-tool combo kit with a drill/driver ($199), and the DCK413S2 four-tool kit with a drill/driver, impact wrench, and work light ($279).

Last night I did the 1st inspection of a strong over wintered hive(2 deep hive bodies). Lots of sealed drone cells, which I scraped all off of the bottom bars. It seemed to me that the population of bees is quite large. I saw a few Queen cups, but did not happen to notice any Queen cells in my quick inspection. They are bringing in pollen and have been storing sugar syrup, but it seems that they may have started to slow down over the past week. The dandelions have been blooming for the past week and there are many blossoms of other flowers around as well. I think that now would be a good time to place my 1st honey super on, with the large colony and with much in bloom happening. I am planning on placing the 1st honey super on today and removing my feeder bucket.
My question is in a few parts. With this as my current scenario, would YOU recommend placing the 1st honey super on at this time? Also, if I did place the super on at this time, are there any negatives/downfalls that might come with if it WAS too early to put it on? What could I look for to tell whether or not to leave it on or take it back off over the course of a few days?Thanks, juzzer

There must be a harder way to do that... let me find it for you.
After dancing in the living room last night with my 8 year old daughter and wrestling around with my 7, 10 and 12 year sons, it was time for me to wind down and relax with a cup of tea with honey and do some reading on here..........but I panicked when it wouldnt come up!! This is my number one bee site, but ended up going to the other one so I could do some reading and post a question.............although there are some of the same people and I got some great answers, its not the same as this site.
Thank God beesource is back up, in my opinion, this is the best bee forum site on the internet!! Its a great mix of hobbyists and grumpy commercial guys!!LMAO J/K.
Coyote Creek Bees
Yes, you had me worried - I rang customer support of my server. Something to do with " dropped or lost packets" - problem is I have no idea what they talk about. And my grand daughter was asleep!
Thanks for the hard work and getting it back for us. You really don't know what you have until it's missing.
We never appreciate what we have until we lose it. Welcome back Beesource!!
So much to learn, so little time!!
I read this site like most peeps read the a.m. paper. I must visit this site 2-3 times on bizzee days & every other hour on slow dayz. I am VERY thankful for the council & encouragement I get here.
Rmns 1:16/Prv.3:5,6/ Beegan BK May 09/ Zone 5b
I have NOT failed. I have only found many many ways that do not work!
First, let me say I'm very sorry for the time the forum was down. This came as a total surprise. As many of you know, the site became sluggish for several days. When this was brought to the attention of my host, the roller coaster ride began. First, it was "another customer on the server abusing the hardware node", then it was said the server problems were coming from the beesource domain. At this point after much time spent, I opted for a "quick fix" and bought an optimizing component for the server. It seems to be stabilizing the site for now, but a more stable longterm decision will have to be made as I'm not convinced that the problem lies with the beesource domain.
Regards, Barry
At one time we had quite a bit of "Excessive Quotes" Abuse, which seems to be occuring again from time to time. Could that contribute to this problem?
Mark Berninghausen
Yeehaw!!! Man I'm glad to see beesource back up. I was like a lost puppy around here while it was down. My wife was laughing at me cause I was so lost for some beek communication.
Whatever your opinion may be regarding quotes in threads, they are really just text, and use relatively low amounts of server resources.
What individual users can control themselves is to use someone else's server for images, rather than using attachments to Beesource threads. That just means that the images are hosted elsewhere, and don't use Beesource resources when you view the thread. Images can be hosted for free at many sites, including Imageshack.us, Google's Picasa, Flickr, TinyPic, etc. The same button that allows image attachment to Beesource also offers linking of images hosted elsewhere.

Pretty sure iSpy will get turned back on. TapaTalk app will NOT be reestablished as there is a potential conflict we became aware of through all this. We have lots of space for attachments (photos). No, quoting doesn't enter into any of this. We still expect judicious use of the quote function as that is just good netiquette.
Regards, Barry
Thank you Barry, I'm glad it's back up! (3 day weekend with 2 energetic grandkids, may be a few days before I can string 2 thoughts together in a row.)
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
I hate to make this suggestion, but have you looked at the search function? There is no minimal interval on the search function which is often a drag on server resources. You could try only allowing one search per 20 seconds or something.

For chronic diseases that afflict the elderly, like diabetes and heart disease, there are now so many easy-to-use apps and gadgets to monitor blood-sugar levels, blood pressure and more.
