text: OBJECTIVE: Communicate the discovery and cause of excessive fuel dilution in 2007–2010 light-duty diesel pickups from Ford, GM and Dodge and the resultant reduction in the drain interval recommendation for AMSOIL Premium Diesel Oils in these applications. ISSUES: AMSOIL has documented increasing levels of diesel fuel contamination (fuel dilution) in the engine oil in 2007– 2008 light-duty diesel pickups from all major vehicle manufacturers, and indications are that 2009 - 2010 models are affected as well. Research indicates that fuel dilution is intensifying due to the use of in-cylinder post-fuel injection during the engine's exhaust stroke to regenerate the diesel particulate fi lter (DPF). Fuel in the oil reduces the oil's life expectancy and effectiveness. Because diesel fuel is a natural solvent, fuel dilution in motor oil causes a decrease in viscosity which may lead to an increase in engine wear rates.

A Letter from Patrick Gilman: Wind Powering America Is Now Stakeholder Engagement and Outreach
A Letter from Patrick Gilman: Wind Powering America Is Now Stakeholder Engagement and Outreach
Date: 10/21/2013
In slightly more than a decade, the wind industry has progressed from a small niche market with installations in just a handful of states to a major economic driver in the power sector, with more than 60 gigawatts of installed capacity and major installations in more than 30 states. In 1999, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Wind Power Technology Program (now the Wind and Water Power Technologies Office) initiated Wind Powering America, an activity to help expand wind energy deployment in the United States. Thanks to technical assistance provided by the DOE Regional Offices and the national laboratory system and through the implementation of state-based Wind Working Groups in states with nascent wind development, this activity helped America to realize today's level of wind energy installed capacity.
The initiative's original focus was to introduce a technology that had become mainstream in other parts of the world to an American energy market that had little experience with wind development. Although the initiative has continuously evolved to address industry changes, the wind market of even 5 years ago is very different from the market today. As DOE looks at how to best engage in its mandate to invest in research and development efforts and innovative deployment approaches to catalyze the timely and efficient transformation of the nation's energy system, the focus of the initiative has changed from introducing a new technology to injecting accurate, fact-based information into wind deployment discussions. Instead of promoting wind energy use, the initiative is focused on becoming a source of accurate information, helping to simplify the deployment process, articulating the potential impacts and benefits of wind power, and providing improved access to high-quality wind resources through addressing potential issues around competing uses based on informed community dialog.
Although the initiative has been shifting in this direction for several years, its name has remained the same. A name's connotations in the minds of local, state, and national decision makers, utility representatives, and the general public cannot be underestimated. DOE no longer has the role of promoting "Powering America with Wind;" the industry has assumed that role. However, DOE understands the need for an organization to provide information about appropriate wind energy deployment. For this reason, the name of the Wind Powering America initiative will be changed. In the interim, as we move through the rebranding process, we will use the generic name "Stakeholder Engagement and Outreach."
Although the name and approaches of this initiative will change, its goal will continue to be expediting the movement of wind technology into the mainstream of the U.S. electric sector; establishing new sources of income for American farmers, Native Americans, and other rural landowners; creating new jobs; improving environmental quality; stabilizing energy prices; and meeting the growing demand for clean sources of electricity.
Please be patient as we go through this rebranding process, and help us to celebrate the beginning of a new era of DOE's involvement in the wind industry that builds on the huge success of the Wind Powering America initiative.

Wind Energy Deployment Manager, U.S. Department of Energy

I'm new to this site. And was wondering if anyone had a list and the places or materials I need to start a boba fett set.
The info is all here, you just need to read and research. There is no specific place or person to talk to, or go to. There are several helmet makers depending on your needs, and how much you want to spend. Same goes for the soft parts and armor.
One good place to start your research is in this thread.
Also get to know some of the abbreviations and acronyms that you will see, such as FP, Asok, BFUK, BM, MOW, RKD, BBF, and there are many others I am leaving out.
BFUK=Bobby Fett UK
MOW=Man of War Studios
BBF= BooBooFett
So I know I didn't give you an exact answer but I hope I helped point you toward the path.
If you want to pep the armor, firefek has some great .pdo files you could download... you'll need a pepakura viewer to use them, but you can download it free off the net. I don't know if firefek is a member on this site, but he has a thread on therpf.com with all of his free star wars files in one spot. I am about to begin a bobba fett build using his files, for the 501st.

This is a recipe for a thick mayonnaise that won't ooze out of sandwiches. I prefer to use salad oil rather than olive oil, as olive oil is very flavoursome and would dominate the sandwich. Be sure to use a clean implement when removing stored mayonnaise from the jar.
Makes 625ml
4 egg yolks
1 clove garlic (peeled)
½ tsp flaky sea salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
Juice of 1½ lemons
505ml (2 cups) salad oil
1. Place egg yolks, garlic, salt, pepper, mustard, lemon juice and 65ml (¼ cup) oil in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until smooth.
2. Place remaining 440ml oil in a jug and, with motor running, very slowly pour oil through the feed tube.
Taste for seasoning. Use in sandwiches or store in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 1 week.

Troopers: Man ejected from Jeep dies
BEAUFORT, CARTERET COUNTY - A man ejected from his Jeep in a Carteret County wreck has passed away, investigators said.
Austin Sherron, 25, of Newport, died Tuesday at about 10:20 p.m., according to the Highway Patrol. He suffered severe injuries to his head, chest and several broken bones from the wreck, which happened just before midnight on Aug. 8.
Troopers said Sherron was driving his 2004 Jeep west on Highway 70, near Tiffany Woods in Beaufort, when he ran off the road to the left, hit a ditch, flipped several times, and hit a utility pole. Sherron was then ejected from the vehicle, investigators said.
"We were hoping and praying that he would come through from his brain injury," said neighbor Buddy Fontana.
Neighbors said Sherron lived with his aunt and uncle on Sea Gate Drive near Beaufort. But the family declined to comment.
According to troopers, speed was a factor and alcohol is suspected.
No other vehicle was involved and no one else was injured, investigators said.

Anchorage, AK Consultation
The Department participated in a consultation with regional Tribal Leaders in Anchorage, Alaska, on April 16, 2010. This consultation was hosted by the Cook Inlet Tribal Council.
Fifty-nine people attended the event, which was moderated by the Cook Inlet Tribal Council's Director, Gloria O'Neil, and the Department of Education's Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education, Thelma Melendez. The Department's Jenelle Leonard, Acting Director of the Office of Indian Education, and Greg Darnieder, Advisor to the Secretary on College Access, were also in attendance, as was Tracie Stevens, Policy Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs at the Department of the Interior.
The consultation began with an open forum. Participants were then invited to attend one of two breakout sessions ("Language and Cultural Inclusion," moderated by Thelma Melendez, and "Increasing College Access," moderated by Greg Darnieder).
Many Tribal Leaders commented that the federal government should reinstate Bureau of Indian Affairs education funding for Alaska Native tribes and villages. (This funding was discontinued following Alaska's consolidation of its Bureau of Indian Education schools and public schools into a single, state-operated school system.) In general, requests for increased funding for education were common at the consultation.
Another topic that garnered a lot of discussion was concern about American Indian and Alaska Native language and culture. Many Tribal Leaders expressed concern that these topics are, according to those leaders, rarely, if ever, included in public school curricula. One community member compared traditional languages to jewels, saying that people did not want to hide their mother tongues in favor of English, but rather wear them proudly for all to see and appreciate. On a related note, some Tribal Officials also recommended that teachers undergo better cultural sensitivity training.

Discussion in 'General Chevy & GM Tech Questions' started by rs6er, Nov 22, 2010.
Activation the switch does nothing. zIs this a switch issue?
Yes it could be. Swap the passenger door switch with the drivers side. This is the easiest way to check it.
Good advice...I imagine that could work with a number of problem items...I'll have to keep that one in mind.
Yes, swapping parts works well. I once convinced my ex that her Chevelle would be much faster with my 3:08 gears than the 4:11s that were in hers, so she let me swap them out. (she didn't understand the distinction between "quick" & "fast") Shortly after that she needed a new clutch, cuz she was slippin the heck outta it trying to get it rolling ha ha ha ha:rofl:
Just desserts for an ex lol
Actually, the easiest would be to put a voltage detector on the switch, if there is power on both sides then it would be the motor and not the switch.
The switch clicks when I push it, so I think it may be something else. Can anyone point me to directions on how to get the inside door panel off?
you'll have to pop off the area where your switches are and disconnect them and pull the piece surrounding the door pull. then its just a matter of taking out a few screws and maneuvering around the door pull. if it's like my 02' there is one screw in the bottom of the panel as well.
The switch clicking tells you nothing about the electrical functioning of the switch.
The clicking only means that the spring & the detent are good.
Make it easy on yourself & swap the "questionable" switch with the known good one as stated above, before you take the door panel off. It takes 5 minutes & is the EASIEST place to start.
I got the switch unit out of the truck, but I'm having difficulty removing the back. Even with the tabs removed from their holes, I can't pull it apart. Someone suggested I swap switches with the passenger door, but this things just got a circuit board on it. How can I test that switch, or is there something else I should be looking at?
Stephan- do you mean the entire unit switch with all of the door and window switches?
---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------
I guess the only way to check if the window mechanism works is to jump the terminals in the connector. Does anyone know the colors of the wires coming from the driver's door window motor? A new switch is over $100.

Lolo mother hikes 'M' every week through pregnancy
MISSOULA, Mont. - NBC Montana couldn't resist telling you one mother's inspiring story about her determination to hike to the 'M' in Missoula every week during her pregnancy.
Lolo mother Codi Filcher and her husband Ben sat with us in their home Monday and Codi explained she had a slow recovery after giving birth to her first child, so she decided to get active during her second pregnancy.
Filcher took pictures and monitored her progress and last Friday, merely 6 hours after finishing her weekly hike, she gave birth to son Daxton.
Now filcher says she wants to spread the word that staying active during your pregnancy can make a world of difference.
"I decided as soon as I got pregnant that I would do it and the benefit is you're going to have an easier labor and an easier recovery," she says. "That's why I wanted to do it and ever since the day I had him (Daxton) I wanted to get out of the hospital and out of the bed and be really active."
Filcher tells NBC Montana she wanted a health goal and thought hiking would be a fun option because she was pregnant throughout the summer.
"I was 19 weeks when I hiked the 'M' the first day and then I decided I wanted to do it every week," she tells us. "I wanted to do my weekly pictures of my belly up there to do something different and I thought it would be cool to have the university and Missoula in the background."
She says when she was pregnant with her 3-year-old daughter she didn't work out; this time around she knew she wanted to be active throughout her pregnancy.
"I was really scared to work out during my first pregnancy just because it took us forever to get pregnant but being active and trying to get pregnant we got pregnant right away," she says. "Being active was a benefit so I think if people are trying to get pregnant exercise can help."
Filcher says if you're pregnant and hesitant about working-out she suggests starting off slowly with a daily walk and then seeing how you feel from there.
"Overall it helped me have a better and more positive pregnancy," she says. "I never felt completely worn out it actually gave me way more energy every day to go work out."

A university located in Winchester,VA. Having about 3400 students, it mainly consists of people who came to play sports and people in theater/music. A lot of the people in the Conservatory (theater/music) are gay, which is awesome for the straight people because it widens the playing field for them.

When Kemal Demirhisar arrived at RWU in 2008, the prospect of starting over hardly seemed unfamiliar. The Istanbul native first ventured from Turkey to the U.S. as a 16-year-old high school exchange student. His destination? Freetown, Mass., where he acclimated to a host family and began studies amid a class of American teenagers he'd never met. One school year, countless friends and a second set of parents later, it was time to return home, diploma in hand.
OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME: "I became really close with my host family," Demirhisar says. "I even started calling them mom and dad. When they asked if they could visit me in Turkey, I was glad to have them." After a two-month stay, Demirhisar's second set of parents made an offer he couldn't refuse – the opportunity to attend college in the States. Back in New England, Demirhisar enrolled at Bristol Community College in Fall River, Mass. "After two years at BCC, it was time to move on with my life. My host parents had done enough for me."
PUTTING THE COMMUNITY IN COLLEGE: Calling on his community service credentials – he was named community service leader of the year at BCC – Demirhisar applied, landed a spot and enrolled at RWU. Eager to add to his legacy, he earned a prompt appointment as student coordinator for Community Connections 2009 and spent some 300 hours coordinating site visits for the freshman day of service. "It's critical to engage students in their new community. Community Connections gives freshmen the opportunity to learn about the greater community, local leaders as well as their own classmates."
CONTRASTING CULTURES: "I miss the city I grew up in, Istanbul – delicious Turkish food, traditional Turkish tea and the stress-free lifestyle I enjoyed there." The academic culture is one of the biggest distinctions, Demirhisar says. "In Turkey, learning leans toward book learning; passing classes is usually determined by two major exams. And there are usually second chances!"
THE WEB DEVELOPMENT MAJOR: "I have been 'the computer guy' since I was a child. I spent most of my time either fixing computers or designing websites. Web Development offers not only computer classes, but management, marketing and enterprise – I developed the mind of a businessman as well as the technical skills that I needed for my future."

In Provence, their home was surrounded by vines with a small pond at the edge of the vineyard. On hot sunny days, Mel and Janie would sit beside the pond and picnic, sharing their scraps with the little tortoises swimming around the pond. Soon, the tortoises became known as the Litre family, with the Mum and Dad being Hecto and Millie Litre and the offspring of course, being Centi Litre! Naturally, when embarking upon a new wine project they decided to call it Tortoise Creek. And, it was only fitting to have Hecto, Millie and Centi prominently displayed on the label!

About Languedoc-Roussillon(LAHN-guh-dock) (ROO-see-yohn) France. The region stretches along the land above the Mediterranean, bordered by the Rhone river on the east and almost reaching Spain on the west. Only 10% of the wines from the area are AC, with the remaining wines often landing in the Vin de Pays or Vin de Table category. Wines in the Vin de Pays category are classified here as Vin de Pays d'Oc.
Notable Facts80% of the wines here are red. The grapes of the neighboring Rhone region are popular, with the focus on Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut and to a lesser extent, Carignan. White grapes include Rousanne, Marsanne, Clairette and other white Rhone varieties. Parts of the region are also enjoying success with international varieties like Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. For many of these international style wines, you'll see the grape variety on the label – very un-French, but since they qualify as Vin de Pays d'Oc, it's allowed. Not so for the AC wines of the region, which are relegated to using most of the regional varieties and labeling their bottles by region. Appellations in the Languedoc include Corbières, Minervois, Costières de Nimes, Banyuls and the largest of them all, Coteaux de Languedoc. Corbières and Minervois are found on the western side of the region and produce sometimes very concentrated red wines. Costières de Nimes lies just southwest of the Rhone and produces wines of comparable character. Banyuls creates decadent fortified wines with Grenache and Coteaux de Langeudoc does triple duty, using international and regional grapes to produce white, red and rose wines that are often fantastic values.
RoussillonA region located between the Spanish border and Languedoc, Roussillon is often mentioned in conjunction with Languedoc, but is an entirely separate, albeit smaller, area. Producing white, red and rose wines, Roussillon is in the Catalonia region, which bleeds into Spain and France. The area has equal amount of Spanish influence as it does French. It is most well-known for Banyuls, a potent dessert wine made from concentrated old-vine Grenache. Vines are old and planted on steep, rocky, terraced hillsides overlooking the coast. The region is also making still wines, mostly from Grenache but with a good amount of Carignan as well.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Well the week has finally come folks, after almost a year of lurking on this forum, absorbing every book I could get my dirty paws on, spending many sleepless nights whacking frames and boxes together, I pick up my bees this week!
I pretty much got a solid plan out for going natural cell/treatment free however I am still slightly confused as to the BEST way to perform the manipulations to get there.
I am purchasing six hive bodies full of bees (as opposed to a nuc or package), and they come on deeps, in plastic foundation. So I am trying to work towards natural cell regression using foundationless, and on Bushs recommendation going to all mediums.
Would I be better off, slipping foundationless deep frames into the brood nest and phasing out the larger cell plastic ones, THEN work on getting them on to mediums? OR catching the queen in the mediums and performing a split to get that colony onto all mediums. What would everyone recommend as far as the most logical, least disruptive way to do this? OR should I just work on being a new beek and keep this all out of my mind? Id rather have a solid plan going in then willy nilly trying and failing!

The memory of my night dressed in an uninterrupted-white taffeta floor length gown with pearl embellishments, satin gloves, and alabaster heels to match is jolted each time I visit my Tennessee homestead. It wasn't my wedding, but it was a night many mothers dream for their daughters to celebrate their coming of age – a lavish ballroom cotillion. Portraits of the soiree decorate the living room of my parents' home. I cringe when I glance at the wall of snapshots of me from the late 1990's. I don't know what was poufier: the dress with its crinoline springs or my hair-hive that added about two inches to my actual height.
It wasn't really a night I looked forward to. I had spent months of weekends with city girls some 30 miles north of my rural digs who viewed me as a country bumpkin anxious for their 'sedity' ways to wear off on me. I couldn't tell you one name in the group of debutantes who surrounded me as I danced the 'Tennessee Waltz' with my date and my dad then, or now. I never tried to remember.
Who I do remember with sweet fondness is my beloved, highly-educated, poised, and borderline bougie aunt who convinced me such exposure would do wonders for my self-esteem and career. Cousin Gwendolyn was a principal in Nashville who belonged to pretty much every elite group in town, and if she didn't belong, it was because they weren't highfalutin enough for her. Yet, she wasn't so pretentious, so glued to status that her time was consumed with its pursuit. She reached back to me as a youngster with non-college educated parents to make sure I earned enough degrees to make up for what they didn't. She wrote letters of encouragement, helped me network and offered pats and praise for my work at KET when I sent recordings at her request… well, her demand. She was my mentor, and a feisty fifty-something-year-old when cancer claimed her seven years ago.
I say all that as a testament to mentoring; to empowering. They sound like soft, psycho-babble words that require only a small exercise of brain power. But, that couldn't be further from the truth. Gwendolyn did for me what so many women do for young girls well outside their family circle – they advise and at times gently chide. They share their time, talent and treasure with hopes their mentee will dodge the pits and potholes that come from poor choices.
This weekend on 'Connections,' I talk about how to help our young girls guard their bodies and spirits, and reach their full potential — despite their zip code, familial status, peer pressure and influence of pop culture. I'm joined by two women who put their boots on the ground when it comes to female empowerment: Tanya Torp, the community engagement coordinator at the United Way of the Bluegrass and founder and CEO of the grassroots organization called BE BOLD; and Dr. Stephanie Troutman, assistant professor of Women's and Gender Studies and African and African American Studies at Berea College.
Watch Connections Friday at 5pm ET on KET 2 and Sunday at 1:30pm ET on KET. Follow @ReneeKET on Twitter.


text: Well my first impression of my 09 Colorado, it's a hell of a lot better than the 07 Nitro I traded in. The truck handles well, suspension is nice and tight, performance is relatively good for a 3.7 I5. Now for the down side, Radio does not sound that good but it will due for now. Looking out the rear view window is less than desirable with the rear seat head rest in the way. So I've had this truck for about 2 weeks and put 300 miles on it so it's time to start seeing what makes this thing tick. I opened the hood to see what I can modify and and where GM cheeped out building these trucks. Didn't look to bad, but I did find that the clamps that hold the air intake tube on were loose. No big deal just tighten them up. I think the truck will defiantly benefit from a cold air intake system. Then I moved onto the under carriage. I figured while I'm under here I'd might as well give the torsion bars a crank up and to my surprise I was only able to make one full turn on the bolt WTF. I'm gonna have to investigate why there is only one turn left on those bolts. Under carriage all in all looks pretty good could use a couple of skip plates. But I am veryy happy with it.

Reviews of this property
We were at Peter's appartment this June and we've had an absolute blast! The location was the best, so close to the castle and the Chainbridge, with a very beautiful view at the Parliament. If you can manage the stairs, we'd absolutely recommend this appartment!! You'll have an amazing time at a great location in Budapest.
Second stay with Peter but different appartement this time. But what should I say? Perfect again! Thanks to Peters Mother and Gergö too! If you are looking for a nice place in Buda you can choose Peter no matter which appartement. Looking forward for the next year date!
The apartment is located close to the city centre. The views from the apartment are really beautiful.Peter
The apartment is located very close to the city centre and everything is within walking distance. The apartment is very well equipped, but unfortunately the heating didn't work and even though Peter came by and tried to fix it, it still didn't work out, but besides that, everything worked out well. Peter is a very nice host.
Perfect located, good equiped and clean place. Peter, his mother and his friend Gergo are very kind and answer every question quick and clear. I hope that I will come back to Peter`s place some time.
Péter's apartment has one of the best locations someone can hope for when visiting Budapest. One minute away from the Chain Bridge by foot but in a quiet area in Buda with very nice cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Furthermore, the views of the river and some monuments like the magnificent Parliament and the Gresham Palace from the windows of the apartment are outstanding.
Regarding the apartment itself, it belongs in a beautiful building with high ceilings (3,5m). The livingroom is great, as well as the bedroom, both with an awesome light; while the kitchen and bathroom are a bit small. If I were to point a problem out, I would say the apartment wasn't very clean (spiderwebs high in the corners of the ceiling) and the sofa a bit dusty.
The owner, Péter, is very kind and welcoming and very available when needed; he made it really easy when we decided to extend our stay. We had a problem regarding the wifi (the router didn't work) and Péter solved it in less than 24h, enabling us to enjoy a fast internet connection for the rest of our stay.
Hello Peter,
We were very satisfied with our stay in your appartment.
The apartment is functional and is located near the center Budapest offering a beautiful view on the parliament.
You and your mum were so very kind - easy and human contact.
Thank you for your kind welcome and human contact.
We were conquered by Budapest and Peter's apartment with this beautiful panorama. Thank you to Peter and mom Gergö Peter who greeted us.
The apartment is quite like the pictures: 2 very large very bright rooms overlooking the Danube and the Parliament illuminated at night in a magical way. We have not found coffee Piaf ... the last day. It is two blocks down actually! By cons we spent a memorable evening at Gong opposite.
I will be back at Peter with pleasure.
Nous avons été conquis par Budapest et par l'appartement de Peter avec ce si beau panorama. Merci à Peter, Gergö et la maman de Peter qui nous a accueilli.
L'appartement est tout a fait comme sur les photos : 2 très grandes pièces très claires donnant sur le Danube et le Parlement illuminé la nuit de manière magique. Nous n'avons pas trouvé le café Piaf...que le dernier jour. Il est deux rues plus bas en fait ! Par contre nous avons passé une soirée mémorable chez Gong en face.
Je reviendrai chez Peter avec plaisir.
Great location, charming, quiet, bright apartment, not missing anything ... Peter (the owner) is super friendly and helpful. Definitely highly recommended!
Tolle Lage, charmante, ruhige, helle Wohnung, fehlt an nichts... Peter (Besitzer) ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unbedingt sehr empfehlenswert!
Top Lage, Schlüsselübergabe ohne Probleme.
Wir waren mit 3 Personen im Urlaub. Die Lage ist unschlagbar 5min Fußweg zur Donau. Auch relativ ruhig gelegen. Die Wohnung war absolut ok (Preis/Leistung) Kleine Mängel gab es natürlich auch die aber sicher zu beheben sind. Die Betten nicht optimal d.h. Aufbettung Klappcouch wo man nicht gut schlafen kann. Die Wohnung ist für 5 Personen gedacht!! Was meiner Meinung nach NICHT geht!!
Das Bad ist sehr klein und die Küche könnte besser ausgestattet sein. (z. b. Kaffeemaschine)
Fazit: Würde die Wohnung jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Da die (Mängel) sicher kurzfristig behoben werden können. Auf Grund des Gesamtpakets gibt es von uns 4****
- Quality assured accommodation

My local beekeeping guru thinks that the spacers might better be placed on the upper side of the inner cover. What do you all think? A gap around the underside of the inner cover or around the upper side?

2012 03.12 - Soccer Gear from Iowa Rush Soccer Club valued at over $500 were donated to schools and Rush partner clubs in Ghana.
As part of its Rush Equipment Assisting CHildren (REACH) program, Iowa Rush Soccer Club collected used soccer gear and shipped them to Ghana Rush. Ghana, located on the west coast of Africa, is slightly smaller than Oregon with a population of about 24 million. Soccer is the major sport played in Ghana and used as a tool and medium for development in diverse areas; campaigns in the areas of health, violence, ethnic and religious conflicts, tolerance, fighting poverty, etc.
"Every Sunday, over 100 children (ages 6-17 years) wear Iowa Rush Soccer club gear in some village in Ghana for a soccer game," said Frank Oppong, TD for Ghana Rush. Thank you to the leadership of Iowa Rush for supporting the REACH program and to the Ankeny/Iowa Rush Soccer families for donating their used items," Mr. Oppong said. Some of the beneficiaries of the collected gear include Akim-Oda Secondary School, Osunase Orphanage, Akim-Oda Methodist Primary School, and various Ghana Rush Soccer clubs within Ghana.
The plan is to continue collecting and sending used gear to communities that can use them. The REACH program consists of collecting used equipment and shipping to communities in need in the United States and abroad. Over the past few years, Rush Soccer has delivered tens of thousands of pieces of equipment to countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, South Africa, Mexico, Thailand, Ghana, Togo, etc. Future sites include Mali, Kenya, and Haiti.
The REACH program has been featured on CBS, ABC and Good Morning America. General David Petraeus of the United States Army has personally shared with the Rush the Army's desire for the REACH program to continue. General Petraeus values the humanitarian aspect as well as the fact that the negative stigma diminishes when the U.S. troops are viewed as gift givers in conflict territories. Other partners include America One (foundation of musician and humanitarian Bono) Eurosport, TRIAD and more.
While the REACH program has been very successful to date, it is still being under-utilized. With such a large membership and the full support of Iowa Rush Soccer and other Rush Clubs across the nation, there is no end to the amount of good we can do for the less fortunate.

One other thing to consider is there is more than 1 type of swarm. If they are really healthy and great numbers they may do a reproductive swarm regardless of how much room you have given them. Compare that to a NUC that will swarm if you don't give them more room, this would be an overcrowding swarm. Type 1 you stop by doing it for them, artificial swarm (you can always recombine later if that's your preference), Type 2 you stop by giving them more room BEFORE they start swarm preparations.

In doing an artificial swarm of 2 deeps overflowing with bees at this point in the spring, how many frames would you remove & which ones?
My goals are to prevent swarming, give the hive a brood break, replace the 2 year old queen and possibly get a few more virgins out of the deal. Also to begin another hive while not limiting the harvesting potential of the big hive. And that's all !! 😄

>I am wondering what are the possible effects if it is done to early?
Here's the scenario. If you pull all the open brood out of the hive two weeks before the flow, and you make that hive queenless (as the queen is with the open brood) and you take pollen and honey (because the new hive has no field force they will need it) and you crowd them (removing some of the brood area, like at least one deep or two mediums) then the sequence goes like this:
They start a new queen from a four day old larva and she emerges just as the flow starts. She's not mated yet. Meanwhile in that two weeks all of the open brood emerges and is jobless because there is no brood to care for. So, since the queen isn't an old queen who is ready to swarm, and since there is no brood to care for, the young bees get recruited to forage. Since the flow is just starting they have plenty to forage and the hive makes a big crop. Since there is no brood area to put the honey in they draw comb, if needed, like crazy and store honey, like crazy. Two weeks after this the queen is finally laying again. The brood nest starts to grow, but still does not require a lot of nurse bees at first so the young bees continue to forage.
Now let's do it five weeks before the flow. At four weeks we lose a full turnover of brood we could have had for the flow. That's less foragers. Also, the queen will emerge three weeks sooner and if they are crowded and there is no flow, and the unemployed nurse bees are not employed and they are more likely to swarm. Assuming they don't, we hit the flow with as much as half as many bees (because of that lost turnover of brood) and much less honey.
Let's try two weeks AFTER the flow: This isn't as bad IF the flow is reasonably long. It just means those young bees won't get recruited until two weeks later than they would have, so you lose two weeks of their work, but things could still go pretty well.

I think our Safeties will be much improved once Johnson finally gets some reps and gets comfortable, along with Church and Sensabaugh.
Crawford becomes a better overall DE-- still very raw but that kid has a motor on him and is pretty athletic.
Tyron Smith is still growing both literally and figuratively-- I expect him to be a monster of an LT next season.
And of course, a year under Claiborne's belt and he and Carr will be a phenomenal duo just as Carter and Lee would be once Carter stops thinking and plays with his instincts.
I'm not saying it's impossible for the Cowboys to play well this year and get to the playoffs, but I like our chances to make our presence felt in the playoffs next year if all pans out. It's a big if, but the way things are trending under Garrett, I don't think it's unreasonable.

The severity of this year's flu season has brought out the scammers promoting fraudulent flu products.
Through our careful monitoring of the Internet, FDA has identified numerous untested and unapproved products being illegally marketed with deceptive claims that they prevent, treat, or cure the flu.
When FDA staff find these fraudulent products, we send a warning letter to the sellers describing how the product violates federal law and instructing them to respond in writing with a description of how they intend to address the violations. If a seller does not respond within 15 days and continues to sell the product without correcting the violations, the products being sold by U.S. companies may be seized, FDA may notify law enforcement officials in the country abroad where a seller maintains its operation, or the federal government may take other legal actions.
In the past week, the agency has sent nine warning letters to firms marketing fraudulent flu-fighting products, including an online seller marketing a product that claims to be an alternative to the flu vaccine, three firms marketing dietary supplements online (letters co-signed by the Federal Trade Commission), and a firm selling an oral spray online and in major retail stores.
The remaining four warning letters were issued to online firms selling what they claim to be generic and other unapproved versions of oseltamivir phosphate, the active ingredient in Tamiflu. Tamiflu is an FDA-approved brand-name drug, but no generic Tamiflu is approved in the U.S.
FDA advises consumers to beware of online "pharmacies" selling generic versions of Tamiflu. If you buy one of these products, you don't know what you're getting—it could be counterfeit, contaminated, or not stored properly to maintain quality. It could also have the wrong active ingredient or no active ingredient at all.
Some of the other fraudulent claims addressed in the warning letters include:
- "the most effective alternative to the flu shot"
- "natural health and strength can still be yours without flu shots"
- "fight cold and flu – naturally!"
- "safeguard you from deadly flu viruses."
Our concern is that a consumer will buy or use a fraudulent product advertised as an "alternative to the flu vaccine" instead of getting the approved vaccine. The vaccine is the best way to prevent getting the flu.
Any time there is a large outbreak of disease, fraudulent products appear on the market. Bogus remedies were rampant during the 1918 flu pandemic, commonly known as the Spanish flu, which killed an estimated 675,000 Americans. Fast forward to 2009, when FDA sent out more than 100 warning letters to sellers fraudulently promoting their products to prevent the H1N1 (swine) flu.
Today, when a health threat emerges, fraudulent products appear almost overnight because the Internet and social media such as Facebook and Twitter have accelerated how quickly hucksters can reach the unsuspecting public.
FDA can't track down all of these fraudulent products, so consumers need to beware of unapproved products that make false claims. When in doubt about a product, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care professional.

Is there any place distributing R-pi in US?
8 posts
Hello, I live in America and I've been wanting a Raspberry Pi for quite some time now. I am wondering if there is any place they are distributed in the US? Thanks

I live in America and I've been wanting one a long time too! I "expressed my interest" when it was released, and recently my number came up and I was able to order it, but it hasn't shipped yet. THere is still too large a backlog to get one quickly- if you order now, it will probably be a few months yet before you get it. There are only two R-Pi distributors, regardless of where you live in the world, RS/Allied and Element 14/Farnell (and their respective local subsidiaries).

Thanks for the reply, that was pretty fast! It stinks the back up time is so long though I guess I'll order soon and just wait for it.

Unless you want to pay a ridiculous cost in shipping don't use uk.rs-online!

I have one on order but don't want to wait months, so I got one from ebay last night it should be here Wednesday . I paid 75 dollars buy it now kinda pricey but I'll have one in a few days. If your impatient like me I'd say go to eBay you'll find a bunch to choose from.

I ordered mine through element 14, back in april. Just got it July 13th. After taxes and shipping it came to 44 usd. I'm sure lead time is way down now that they've increased production. From the tracking number it didn't ship from the uk.

>>....but I would bet a dollar that you either don't actually screen your breeder queens to see which trait they are exhibiting...
>Ha ha! You would lose that dollar!
Adam, does this mean that you are actually screening for VSH behavior? If so, that would be a new procedure, no?
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Thank you, deknow. I have since learned the tests - watching for pink-eyes thru purple-eyes pupae being uncapped and removed are the telltale signs. Counting the removals per hundred cells gives a % value for grading. Several observations at different times must be recorded and accounted for.
I'd still welcome any other tests anyone else comes up with.
Mite mauling is determined by broken varroa mite parts in the sticky tray under the screened bottom board.
Incidentally, powdered sugar shake treatment to encourage varroa grooming is now recommended every week of fly-out season, not just 4 treatments in the fall as was recommended 2 years ago. Hence, the mite log now goes on the year calendar, and the buildup and reaction are traits to be selected for.
As with most breeding, inbreeding is a technique to be utilized, but not abused. The goal is to find recessive traits, often expressed through inbreeding. The very next generation usually has to be out-crossed. Crosses of inbred specimens from different inbred lines can be spotty, but may yield some excellent stock. Excessive inbreeding is likely why the over-zealous uncapping occurred. Obviously, thorough record-keeping is a must, as is trait testing.

Not advocating that they be added to the list, but thought I would let those interested know my observation of my Shamrock Carnis. Yesterday while splitting some very strong hives, I observed in three of the hives the bees removing fairly mature brood and carrying it out of the hive. I never took time to examine anything that they were removing, but they were obviously something not right with the brood, or at least they thought so. I know fall is not the ideal time for splits but I had thru neglect on my part lost 3 hives. 2 to moths after they died out, and 1 to SHB. This year we have built a new house and moved so with my plate full the bees suffered. So I am trying to get back to my 12- 13 hives. I will feed as long as they will take feed.
So much to learn, so little time!!
Am I correct that the only one on your list that is selecting for mite grooming is Carpenters? Are there any other breeders that are selecting for mite grooming?
Purebred Russians and many AHB hybrids express grooming traits, as well as even more desirable mite mauling (biting the mites). It is expressed in many colonies, and to varying degrees. So I would imagine that several queen providers have bloodlines with that trait present to some degree, if not highly selected for these traits.
Sorry should have said mite mauling. Same question are any breeders known to be trait testing for mite mauling and selecting for it?
P.S. - The test for mite mauling is to look for chomped up mite parts in the IPM screened bottom board sticky board. The more % broken mite parts, the better.
Oops! I already posted this - delete if you wish.
>I have since learned the tests - watching for pink-eyes thru purple-eyes pupae being uncapped and removed are the telltale signs.
I've seen that ever since regressing...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
When the mite count gets to a very low level, brood uncapping becomes almost undetectable. I would suggest a combination of checking for mite load plus looking for removal of reproductive mite females via hygienic uncapping. Recognize that low mite loads correlate with low levels of uncapping. If you can then integrate some checks for mite mauling.......

This is a pretty funny mod for the Benson. The model is very good and the textures aren't half bad. However, there are some problems - Tommy's feet go right through the front and the front wheels aren't always on the ground. Other than that, this is a cool mod. It comes with its own .col file, so there's no need to play with the big old bulky benson.col file.

[quote user="Crush'em Giants"]
This is our second home purchase but your advice on the offer is very timely. It seems like the seller is not budging much but I have a thing about exceeding my "number". Me and the misses will certainly be talking!</p>[/quote]
Oh i see....well, if you haven't owned a home in 3 years, you are considered a first time buyer, so food for thought.
I agree with you on the budging part actually. I like to toss out a number that is about 10-15% lower than asking price and see how the seller responds.
I only wanted to mention that offering an extra $10-20K in the bidding war doesn't really add THAT much to the monthly costs.
Then again, in this economy, sellers should really be salivating over any offers. If they don't like your offer, definitely move on...unless you are low balling them...haha...

Hi, I'm curious if a little 2 to 1 syrup will hurt the bees this time of year.
It was 50 yesterday so I checked on some of the smaller hives. I gave them a mason jar of syrup figuring that they could use it.
They have been flying a bunch the past few weeks.
They came up to see what was up and perked up at the sight of the syrup.
I put it off center of the hole in the inner cover on little 1/4 inch shims so if it dripped it would drip on the inner cover not on the bees.
It was 48 today here but will be high of 40s the next week
I won't feed them again for the rest of the year aside from perhaps some dry sugar up top.
I just wanted to give them a little something incase they could use it.
I'm not sure if the bees maintain any open nectar when it is cold out or if they only eat the capped honey.
Does it take alot of feeding syrup in cold to cause problems or does even a little do it?
Thanks, VW

Foreground shows the "first king of Ndongo" forging weapons and utensils; in background (left) the use of bellows and (right) royal spectators. Antonio Cavazzi (b. 1621) was an Italian priest who from 1654 to 1667 joined the Capuchin mission in what is today northern Angola; after a visit to Europe, he returned to Angola, particularly the Kingdom of Kongo, where he remained from 1672 to 1677. He died in Genoa in 1678. Cavazzi made this and other watercolors, the originals of which are in his manuscript, located in a private collection in Modena, Italy (see also "Cavazzi" for other images on this website). Cavazzi's drawings must be among the earliest known eyewitness sketches of African life by a European; they can be contrasted to, for example, the fanciful depictions found in Dapper or by the De Bry brothers (see, "Dapper" and "De Bry" on this website).

Hi all I have been silently gleaning all I can from this site which is a fantastic resource!
My wife and I have been dabbling in beekeeping for near 10 years and currently have 4 hives, 2 in a community garden and 2 in a friends backyard. Urban beekeeping is great! Still lots of flow, the biggest challenge is the wet weather here.

In Reply to: A la mode posted by ESC on March 25, 2001
: : Hello, I am trying to help a friend out with a French homework question. We know the that "a la mode" is French for in the style or fashion of, but the teacher will give extra credit if anyone can track down how it came to mean "with ice cream" in English. Any ideas or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
: ".After the Revolutionary War our young nation loved its French ally and the French Revolution, and hence French customs, words, and food (which Thomas Jefferson, U.S. Minister to France from 1785 to 1789, helped popularize.) Thus, from the time of Independence, fine American eating establishments have often had a French flavor and a French accent.The French word 'restaurant' ("restoring") was first used to mean an eating establishment in Paris in 1763, then recorded as being used in America in 1827, which was several years before it was used in England.fancy eating places made the word 'restaurant' a part of everyone's vocabulary between the late 1820s and 1855 and, during that same period, added such further French terms to America's restaurant vocabulary as 'filet,' 'bisque,' 'table d'bote,' 'maitre d',' and 'a la' this or that, though the words, then as now, were often more French than the food or service. 'Pie a la mode' had become a dessert and term since the 1880s but became widely known only after Delmonico's added it to its menu around 1918." Delmonico's, established at 44th St. and 5th Ave. in New York in 1897, was the "best loved, most-talked-about restaurant in America." From "Listening to America" by Stuart Berg Flexner (Simon and Schuster, New York, 1982).
: An aside - I was major appliance shopping the other day. The salesman told me that the hot new color is "bisque." But, he said with a wink, "We pronounce it 'biscuit.'" As a concession to ignorance, I guess. Brought to us by the same people who pronounce Chic jeans as Chick jeans.
Mispronouncing French is a national pastime. Witness Versailles (ver-SALES), or DuBois (doo-BOICE) Pennsylvania. Or, for that matter, saying lon-zher-EH, when lingerie is clearly spelled lon-zher-EE.

Three arraigned in 'Facebook murders'
MOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. - Three people police say were involved in a murder in Johnson County were arraigned in court Friday.
The families of the victims were there and they tell us today's court appearance is one step closer to justice.
The courtroom in Mountain City was filled with emotion as Barbara and Jenelle Potter and Jamie Lynn Curd were arraigned for the murder of a Johnson County mother and father. The three are facing two counts of first degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
Beverly Garland is the mother of Billy Payne, Jr., one of the victims and was in the courtroom.
"It meant a lot to see them in handcuffs finally," said Janie Hayworth, sister of Billie Jean Hayworth, the other victim.
The three are accused of the 2012 killings of Payne and Hayworth. "We love those kids and we miss them every day," Garland told us."It's not getting any easier. They say time heals, but it never heals."
Garland tells us seeing these three in court is the beginning of justice. "I feel like justice is really turning where it needs to be," she said.
In January 2012, officers say Marvin Potter got angry after Billy Payne, Jr. and Billie Jean Hayworth deleted his adult daughter, Jenelle Potter, from their Facebook accounts. Payne and Hayworth were found shot to death in their Mountain City home. Their six-month-old son Tyler was found unharmed, partially under his mother's body.
"Why would they go in there and kill my sister and her boyfriend the way they did?" asked Janie Hayworth.
On Friday the court set a date to see if the three will be tried together or if they'll stand trial separately. Either way, all the families of the victims want is justice. "That they are found guilty and at least spend the rest of their life in prison [would be enough for me]," said Garland.
Here are the facts on what's next -- on October 29, a judge will decide if the Potters and Jamie Lynn Curd will stand trial together, then set a court date.
If they're tried separately, Barbara and Jenelle's trial is May 12 and Curd's trial is December 9.
Marvin Potter is also charged in this case with first degree murder and felony murder. Potter's trial is set for October 7.

Excerpt: "Sunday is the biggest day here at theNFL Scouting Combine. Media availability continues, while the skill-position players hit the field. Here's what we learned:
» Don't call him "Honey Badger" anymore. Tyrann Mathieu is looking to shed his past. In a fascinating sessionwith reporters, Mathieu talked about rehab, being humiliated and enjoying too many things other than football."My best friend right now is honesty," Mathieu said.Mathieu is short and not particularly fast. But NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock still believes Mathieu should find a home in the NFL as a slot cornerback.
» Everywhere I go in Indianapolis, I hear someone say the Alex Smith-to-Kansas City Chiefs deal is all but done. (Now CBS is reporting a deal is "effectively done" for Smith but won't name the team.)Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said in a text message to The Florida Times-Union that it's "not us" who has a deal in place. NFL.com's Albert Breer reported a high-ranking San Francisco 49ers source says he's not aware of a deal being done. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport says the Chiefs have showed the most interest. Mr. RapSheet also hears the Chiefs are particularly high on offensive tackle Luke Joeckel as a No. 1 overall pick candidate." Read more...
