Any thoughts on whether CCD can be transmitted from colony to colony by the beekeeper?
Any thoughts on whether CCD can be transmitted from colony to colony by the beekeeper?
Not knowing what CCD actually is, how would one know if YOU had transmitted it?
My guess is, "the weather" can not be transmitted
The CCD group says don't swap frames from CCD deadouts to going hives.
It would be very difficult to maintain such sterile handling to prevent cross contamination if a viral, fungal, or parasite problem...how would you sterilize your frames?
The best solution would be to stop all interstate transportation of bees and monitor state by state health. I know that will anger many keepers but the wholesale transportation of hives interstate has only proven to be a disease/parasite nightmare.
Hey wait a minute I heard that cell phones were spreading it?
The Busy Bee teaches two lessons: One is not to be idle and the other is not to get stung.
It's secret KGB operators spreading it to take us over
Where there are fruits and nuts there are beekeepers!!!

DCI Receiver? Are they available? Have you shot them yet?
Freedom is not free. Some will perish to preserve it for the many. Just as our Forefathers did before us, we must take up the battle and not waver. Victory is our only option.
Hey,..is your phone broken?

I'm a bookkeeper's son,
I don't wanna shoot no one,
but I crossed my old man back in Oregon,
don't take me alive.

Hey Gunco,
That kit I traded you looks aweful SWEET on the DCI receiver!!! Let me know how she shoots.
You got any locking lugs?
I need a .256, I have a .261 and .263 to swap if you need either of them.
I 'm planning on head spacing these this weekend or next weekend. I'll let you know what I have left over or what I need.
Thanks for the offer Max

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012
Jean Paul Gaultier was in antic mood with a presentation that was campy even by his convention bending standards.
To set the scene, he put his backstage center stage, building three tiers of stadium scaffold so that the audience could see the pandemonium of the girls being dressed. In lieu of a music soundtrack, he co-opted a French television self-styled "weather girl" to introduce the models and the names of their respective ensembles. Thus announced, the girls (each carrying little cards bearing the number of their outfit, in Old World couture style, with Guido Palau's elaborate victory roll hairdos to match) struck exaggerated attitudes for both the crowd and photographer Miles Aldridge, working in a studio on the runway; the resulting pictures will be used for Gaultier's upcoming campaign.
Gaultier revisited many of his icons—reworking the trench, the matelot sweater, corsetry, and tattoos—in playful if not quite groundbreaking ways.
Classic mens' striped cotton shirts were deconstructed to transform into draped bodices that bared a shoulder or gathered into a front-jutting peplum. The trench was reimagined in liquid jersey or stiff faille, sometimes with the epaulettes, collars, and pockets in rough-textured leather.
Sailor pants were worn partially unbuttoned to reveal frothy broderie anglaise bloomers beneath, and those tattoo prints climbed up stocking legs and across translucent face-powder colored singlets (to emphasize the point, one or two of the models had been chosen for their own elaborate tattoos). The horseshoe rings used for body piercings were wittily displayed as fastenings, and a print that suggested an artist's messy palette was used for ensembles titled "I Spoiled Everything," and "I Spoiled Everything Again" (other droll names included "Excuse My Trench" and the bride's "Yes, I Do Not").
Cirtus-hued evening gowns in liquid jersey reinforced the forties femme fatale mood of the collection, although the structured lingerie in which the cabine of models took their finale walk transformed the catwalk into a house of ill-repute out of Jean Genet's world.


text: It is the pride and joy for every family to have a young one, for long babies has been termed as blessings to the family and the community generally. Being young humans and living things, young ones have nutritional demands in their bodies like every other normal living creature, therefore they do often need food in order to satisfy their nutritional demands, grow and lead a healthy life. Being new in life, young ones do not have the capability to feed themselves or to verbally communicate when they are hungry. This leaves a responsibility to the adults to be able to identify the various indicators which do show and communicate that the young baby is in need of being fed. Babies use different signs to communicate their hunger, and most of them are common to all young ones. in their first weeks of life babies feed once in every three hours and spend most of their time asleep, and as they grow feeding may be done 8 to 14 times in every 24 hours.

Thanks loved the pics of Mao happier, she should be so proud of that silver medal. Loved the clips of the baby american's
Thanks loved the pics of Mao happier, she should be so proud of that silver medal. Loved the clips of the baby american's
Whoever said they thought that only Mao and Mirai out of the top 6 would be at Sochi, I tend to think Lepisto will be there too. She's only 21 and in Europe they often stick around for longer, I'd love to see her continue to compete and develop consistency. If she keeps performing like she did here, I think she could potentially win a World medal sometime in the near future.
Also, does anyone know what Rachael plans to do next year? I mean she's gotten into Stanford already, I know she said she plans to continue skating but do people think she'll be able to maintain the level she's at now with all the changes she'll have to make in coaching, training, lifestyle etc when she goes to college?
The great thing about Brian Orser and David Wilson is they know how to maximize every point possible from the COP!
Each move of Yu-Na, each entrance or ending to a jump or spin all earn points for GOE!!! Simply amazing
I think Yu-Na deserved her score because of their mastery of the COP!
I think Frank should also get David Wilson to help Mirai! Mirai is going to be the biggest skating star after Yu-Na! Since Mao is not retiring I am thrilled about the possible match up between Asada and Nagasu in Soichi
Soichi looks really promising with Nagasu, Gao, Zhang, Flatt, Wagner- battling it out in the US, Kanako and Mao, the Russian skaters, the new generation of amazing Korean skaters
But none of that would have mattered if Yuna was not able to go down there and find it deep within herself to put the programs down when it counted. For that, this is her medal and she is the champion.
This is just a random observation, but after watching the medal ceremony (I taped it), I just realized that this current bunch of skaters isn't very "huggy" or interactive with one another on the podium (when they all step up to the top at the end). I remember Michelle Kwan, Irina Slutskaya, Sarah Hughes, etc. would talk to one another and put their arms around each other when posing for pictures...
She tweeted him, "Felicitations!" (Congratulations!) Saw him on CTV interview. He's kinda cute.Wonder what she thinks of her ex-bf winning a gold and bronze yesterday?

Oh I didn't see this till today.
Jenniky - {Huggs} Don't worry about it she didn't know what she was talking about.
FmHall - The phrase is very sarcastic. It means the opposite. All the food represents how much we have been blessed & brings us together for Thanksgiving. The phrase also points out that all the shopping afterword is encroaching on our Holiday. Please think before ya post things like this.

The flat is good situated in Barrio Alto, near to the historical tram number 28. We had a friendly welcome and a good time in Lisboa. The room is very small for two persons, on the foto it looks bigger. Andrea & Jürgen
We had a lovely stay, the apartment is well furnished and perfectly located for young travelers, close to the train station. If you are traveling during the summer, you'll find it cool and comfortable.
On the downside, not so many kitchen supplies; high humidity -I guess this comes for all Lisbon- and we had to give a 100€ deposit in cash at our arrival, which we didn't know about..., but we got it back quickly by bank transfer.
This apartment is right in the middle of Alfama where I personally enjoyed very much with the old buildings and good atmosphere in the area. The apartment was clean and very well furnished, particularly with a iPhone speaker provided in the living room (which is perfect for young travelers). Costa was extremely nice although we did not have the chance to meet him in person. The only thing I would like to raise is that the apartment is quite humid and it is one of the drawbacks of living close to the river in general (not only Costa's flat) I suppose. Both my boyfriend and I are easily prone to nasal allergies in humid environment, so it was the only thing we found uncomfortable during the stay.
Nice stay in this clean and cute studio in a atypical neighbourhood! I recommend it! However it is not made for two adults, it would clearly be too tight! Very calm in itself (main noises from the tramway n°28, but this is completely acceptable)
Everything is available: towels, bed sheets, wifi, kitchen, washing machine.. When I decided to rent the studio longer than expected, there was no problem and Antonio's friend was helping. By the way, he is a nice host, ready to help at any time! The only issue maybe was about the 100 Euro deposit I had to pay extra, which was not mentioned on the website when I rented the flat and I only heard about it when I arrived in the room in Lisbon. I got it back of course at the end of my stay, but it took some days.. and I had to write some more texts to get the transaction done. This could be improved. Otherwise, a very good stay!!
Everything was great: location, appartment and welcome. We had a lovely stay, i'd recommend this appartment to friends & family
It was a Great Apartment, clean and good Equipment in the kitchen, but we thought it was a Little Too small for two Person
We stayed in Costa's appartment for a couple of days and we really enjoyed it. It's well located in the oldest district of Lisbon (Alfama). The apartment is lovely decorated (their eye for detail is amazing) and convenient with a nice big kitchen (including dishwasher). It's really clean and silent (apart from the neighbours upstairs who you could hear walking around but that isn't too much of a burden). You can easily contact them. We were delayed and Antonio was waiting for us till after midnight. He was really kind and despite of the hour kindly explained us the must see's in Lisbon. We would definitely recommend this place!
It was really nice to visit Lisbon and stay in this apartment. This cozy and good located place was a nice spot to rest after all day sightseeing.
El apartamento es tal cual se ve en las fotos...salvo que olvidan comentar que el motor del ascensor da al dormitorio y hace un ruido considerable, y que falta algo de mantenimiento..bombillas fundidas...limpieza regular...
The apartment is just as you see at the pictures, but they forgot saying the elevator's engine is close to the main bedroom and it is considerably noise, and also there is cleaning and maintenance shortage..
Die Wohnung war sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Dachterasse und der Blick auf den Fluß/Brücke einfach super! Die Lage prima mit öffentlichen Verkahrsmitteln zu erreichen.
Leider war die Küche mit Geschirr sehr minimalistisch ausgestattet, auch waren mehrere Glühbirnen kaputt und kein Ersatz vorhanden.
Antònio war sehr nett, vielen Dank

Rita thank you for everything, if we will be in Porto we definitely stay at You:)
Ola and Krzyś:)
Our stay was perfect. We had an own bathroom, our room was big enough and the bed was very comfortable. Because of the cold weather we could not eat on the terrace, but we were allowed to eat in the living room at any time.
Rita is a very nice and helpful person. She even provided us with breakfast. The appartment is two minutes (by feet) away from a metro station where three different lines drive to the center of porto. If we visit Porto again some day, we will try to stay at Rita's appartment again.
Super Riesen-Penthouse-Wohnung mit 2 beneidenswert grossen Terrassen. Sehr angenehm, ein eigenes Bad zu haben. Sehr gastfreundliche Atmosphäre, auch in Küche und Wohnzimmer - mit großzügiger Gastgeberin. Wenn etwas fehlte, wurde es sofort gebracht, z.B. Heizung. Herzlichen Dank an Rita! Ausserordentlich gute Anbindung an die Metro. Alles hat gut geklappt.
Supergiant penthouse apartment with 2 enviably large terraces . Very nice to have a private bathroom . Very friendly atmosphere, also in kitchen and living room - with a generous hostess . If something was missing, it was immediately brought, for example a radiator. Thanks a lot to Rita!
Extremely easy access to the Metro. Everything went very well.
We're happy we picked Rita's appartement to come visit Porto. The bedroom is cosy, the bathroom clean and the terrace with hamac simply wonderful! It's a few steps from the metro stop so getting in and around Porto is really easy. Friendly host who is very helpful and kind. Lots of privacy here too. Would recommend to anyone!
Rita was a great Host. We had a great stay at her Appartment. She was very welcoming and always there if we needed something. She tried to always do the best for us and make it as comfordable as possible. The room was great and we could cook and had our own space in the fridge. And the Terracce was really nice too. Had always when possible breakfast there. And it is just a small bit to the beach and the City center of porto. So perfect for everyone who likes to travel.

Well, I am a total newbee to bee keeping. Not too long ago I was terrified of bees. I left them alone and tried my best to allow them to leave me alone. This was mainly due to being stung by a bumble bee about 20 years ago. The odd part in it is that I love honey and I love the smell of beeswax. I do know that honey bees are not the same as a bumble bee. I mainly didn't like the idea of a stinger in my arm again.
Today, I have had a bit of a change. I have gotten it in my head that I would like a hive of bees. What sparked the idea was PBS special on honey bees.
I do have some obstacels to overcome.
1. I live inside city limits with a street on two sides of my property. I have not come across any No Bee Laws.
Link to areal photo of house: http://vintagerifle.net/images/misc/House.jpg
2. I have an almost 4 year old daughter (one that I hope will come to love honey bees).
3. I have a wife that is allergic. She gets a nice sized knot when stung. We do not believe she is allergic to the point of being killed by a couple of bee stings. She has not expressed concern when I talked to her about putting a hive on our property.
Now for what I would like to do:
I would like to put a single bee hive on our property. There is at least one property about 1/4 mile away that I have seen 4 hives at during the springtime so I do not believe we have any laws against having bees in the area. I am also not able to find any doing an online search for local laws and ordinances.
I have read several articles on the net about getting started with beekeeping and have noticed that most suggest starting off with a Langstroth bee hive as they are easier as far as getting help form other bee keepers. However, I am more interested in the Top Bar Bee Hive. My thoughts on a TBH is that they are easier to construct, appear to not easily be tipped over, and produce more wax that honey. I am interested in honey, but I am also interested in wax or making bullet lubricants for my own use. My understanding that a TBH has the ability to produce more wax than honey.
My plan is to construct the hive over the winter, which really will not take very long to do and probably can be done in several hours once materials are obtained. I am currently debating on a source of bees. I may try to catch wild bees, or order Italian bees. Since I have a wife that is somewhat allergic and a young daughter, I have been leaning more to the Italian bees. However, being able to catch some wild bees would be a cost saver. I do have a possible source for some bees in the spring. This will all depend on if the person wants the bees removed from his old barn or if I can catch a swarm at some point.
I must say that seeing and smelling honey dripping from the wall of an old barn is something to behold. These are wild bees and appear to be fairly docile as they do not bother the chickens that are housed only a few feet from the bees and the humans on the property that tend to the chickens.
That is all for now. Looking forward to possibly being able to set up a TBH at my house. I have also ordered a copy of First Lessons in Beekeeping.

Marshall Ballew to Open September's Weekend Music Performances at the Classic Wineseller
|Arts & Entertainment
|The Classic Wineseller
|20 Church Street, Waynesville, NC
|Kay S. Miller
|Sep 06, 2013
Remaining September performances are:
Friday, September 13 - James Hammel guitar and vocals, jazz & popular music
James Hammel was introduced to jazz guitar by jazz great Sal Salvador. Salvador predicted that Hammel would one day pursue a career in music. However, music remained on the sidelines during Hammel's 20-year detour building and leading large companies.
In 2001, Hammel was positioned at the top of New York City's corporate ladder. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 became the catalyst for Hammel's adventurous leap from being CEO to being singer/songwriter/musician.
Hammel recorded his first full-length CD, Do It All Over Again, in 2005. Five years later he released Come Together. Hammel and his band have performed in New York City at venues such as The Metropolitan Room, Satalla, Julian's, PM, and Kavehaz (The Gallery). He also has performed at the former CBGB's Gallery and The Bitter End.
Hammel's music is highly charged with a voice that brings forth a boyish sense of charm and innocence while still having the ability to transition from a crooner to a full pop/rock performer. For more information visit www.jameshammel.com.
Saturday, September 14 - Joe Cruz piano, vocals
Friday, September 20 - Jay Brown guitar, harmonica, vocals
Jay Brown has been playing guitar since the age of seven and writing music since he was a teenager. His performance repertoire contains more than 50 original songs, as well as covers from a wide range of genres. A favorite of Classic Wineseller fans is Brown's rendition of Duke Ellington's "What a Wonderful World." He sings and performs on a number of instruments including piano, guitar, steel guitar, percussion, and harmonica.
Brown has spent years traveling and playing across the United States. His musical tastes found a vehicle for expression when he became a founding member of the old-time swing band, Lazybirds, a band that blends a variety of musical styles, including jazz and blues, to create fresh and soul-stirring sounds. He has performed with the Old Crow Medicine Show, and musical legends Etta Baker and Doc Watson.
Saturday, September 21 - Joe Cruz piano, vocals
Friday, September 27 - Valorie Miller guitar, vocals
Valorie Miller is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Asheville, North Carolina. She got her start as a musician in the late 1990s when the North Carolina Arts Council awarded her an Emerging Artist grant to make her first recording. From there she has recorded independent CDs, gained recognition from many prestigious venues and contests, and toured the United States and overseas. Miller was named a Kerrville New Folk Finalist, two-time top finalist in the North Carolina Songwriting Contest, and top finalist in the Great American Song Contest.
She has performed at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, The Bitter End in New York and The Continental Club in Austin, Texas—and virtually every place between. She has shared the stage with Merle Haggard, Jennifer Nettles, Wilco, and Patty Larkin. Nashville's Grammy-winning songwriter, Larry Cordle, says, "Go see Valorie Miller and listen to her stark, wonderfully crafted stories of longing, escaping love's clutches, love of her homeland in the North Carolina mountains... Valorie is a beautiful girl with great stories to tell in song and a beautiful voice to convey them with." For more information visit www.valoriemiller.com.
Saturday, September 28 - Live Music + Dinner event at 7:00pm with Musica Nostra. Mandolin, guitar, vocals, Italian and Mediterranean folk music, $39.99 per, four-course Italian dinner, reservations at 452-6000.
Musica Nostra, "Our Music" in 'Italiano', is a unique ensemble that performs old Italian and Mediterranean mandolin music.

The musical arrangements were handed down to band leader Dick Hull by his Italian grandfather Giovanni (John) Napoleone and his brother Domenico (Dominic). Musical selections include: old Italian and classical pieces; opera overtures; ragtime numbers; original compositions; and, marches and novelty pieces performed on two mandolins and guitar.
The Classic Wineseller, Waynesville's premiere retail wine and craft beer shop, small plate restaurant, and intimate live music venue presents local, regional, or national talent each Friday and Saturday night at 7pm. The Classic Wineseller kitchen opens at 5:30pm on weekend evenings serving freshly prepared small plate fare. For more information visit www.classicwineseller.com or call 828-452-6000.

Castle Rock's wines are carefully made from grapes grown in the most prestigious areas of the West Coast states - California (Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Mendocino County, Monterey County, Alexander Valley), Oregon (Willamette Valley), and Washington (Columbia Valley). The company has always focused on making wines with specific appellations in order to allow the local qualities of the wine to be appreciated by connoisseurs.
The wines are made and bottled at wineries boasting state-of-the-art equipment, located in Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Oregon's Willamette Valley, and Washington's Columbia Valley. Distribution throughout all states of the United States is through a comprehensive network of fine wine distributors.
View all Castle Rock Winery Wines
About North Coast
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

My journey began on a farm near Wagner, South Dakota, then coursed through the institution of higher learning in Vermillion. My adult life consists of about 12 years in Yankton and Sioux Falls since 2007. The earliest designs of a career in radio originated from a career day in 6th grade when we were given course offerings to different colleges and the subjects I wanted to know about were farming and radio. Then on a Sunday afternoon in a small room in what is now the Al Neuharth Center on the campus of the University of South Dakota, I put a needle on a Marshall Tucker Band record. Joining me in this life journey is my beloved Liz along with my three children Maddy, Seth and Charlie.

In Strasbourg, free expression linked to Vietnam diplomacy
There is good news from Strasbourg that follows up on my entry from earlier this week, "European Parliament has chance to take on Vietnam." Today, the European Parliament did exactly that when they unanimously adopted an Urgent Resolution on Vietnam. It was a wide-ranging document, but a large part was devoted the freedom of expression issues that are central to CPJ's concerns. In Article 7, the European Parliament:

Barry why is my post locking me out after I post A new thread?
Barry why is my post locking me out after I post A new thread?
I havent been able to post responces.
I' m good now.
What do you mean "locking me out"? Evidently you were able to start this thread with a new posting. I see you have been able to post a few more messages in other forums since this one. I'll need a bit more info to be able to help.
Barry the posting rules at the bottom of the thread that I started on the bee fourm tells me that I may not reply or post ect! ect!Don't know why it doesn't here.I was trying to respond to Bill on my permacomb&honey thread and it wouldn't let me post so I started a new thread(permacomb)and it wouldn't let me back on to reply also my late splits thread is like this also.
I looked at your forum permissions and they are all set to default so there are no special posting restrictions on any of the forums.Don't know why it doesn't here.
Once you login, every forum should say at the bottom of the page that you may post new threads and replies. Which forums say you can't?
- Barry
Barry I checked last night and every one that I've posted in the bee forum the last couple days have cut me off after the inital post.
Barry I can post now Thanks Ken R
I upgraded to the latest version of the board today so it must have addressed the problem you were having. Could have been one of those bug fixes. I know there were some Internet Explorer issues they addressed?
- Barry
I've had this problem aswell, after a while I noticed it was only happening if I didn't tick the remember me box when I logged in. I'm guessing that when the page refreshes the cookie gets wiped, I always tick remember me now and the problems stopped, which is ok as I'm using my cpu, but if I use someone elses I'll have to remember to log out.

During World War II in which hundreds of thousands of American soldiers were killed, President Roosevelt insisted, unlike George Bush, that pictures of dead members of the military should be shown to the public. During World War II, pictures of Japanese soldiers beheading Americans were shown to the public. Today, both Bush and Obama apparently lack trust in the truth because the president has now gone back on his agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union to have pictures depicting torture in Iraq and Afghanistan released to the public. President Obama now insists to allow those pictures to be seen would endanger the lives of American soldiers. An official commented: "The president strongly believes that the release of these photos, particularly at this time, would only serve the purpose of inflaming the theaters of war, jeopardizing US forces and making our job more difficult in places like Iraq and Afghanistan."
We big to differ with this view. In the coming days, President Obama will be making a speech directed to the Muslim people. If during that speech, Obama apologized to the people of Iran for the CIA action in overthrowing the Mossadegh government and then he admitted Americans had abused prisoners and promised to release those pictures, millions of Muslims would react with praise, not anger. They would know an American leader is being honest and acknowledging wrong doing.

Imagine your second grade summer: two months of vacations and popsicles, right? In 2009, Charles Scott and his son, Sho, wanted to have an adventure together, which eventually led to biking the length of Japan – more than 2,000 miles – in 67 days. Sho was 8 years old at the time. Charles transformed his journal into the book, Rising Son. TFK Kid Reporter Faye Collins talked to the father and son team about their experience.
What inspired you to bike across Japan?
I wanted to spend more time with my kids, so Sho and I sat down when he was 7 and came up with an idea for an adventure. I said, "It can be anything" and we decided to cycle the length of Japan. My wife is Japanese, so we've been to Japan before. We decided it would be cool to make it a bike adventure, and then we got carried away. First we imagined a week or two in Japan, then we thought: "Why don't we do the whole country?" That was that.
How did you feel after the first week of cycling?
At first it was hard, because after the first week my mom and my sister left, I didn't really want that to happen. But once I got used to it I felt fine.
What were some of the most fun and exciting parts?
I really enjoyed getting out in the nature of Japan. Our image of Japan is kind of like New York City, a big megalopolis. But actually the country is has lots of mountains and beautiful places to go. We slept in a tent on the beach a lot of times, or in the mountains, and that was really a wonderful experience to share with my son. The second best thing was the fact that we met so many nice people.
What were some of the most challenging parts?
The mountains were really, really big. And when we were in Hokkaido, which was a part of town we were in, it was windy and cold.
We crossed the Japan Alps mountain chain, and it is no joke. They call it the Japan Alps because it is a whole really serious mountain chain. In the whole trip, we went over ten mountain passes. You ride up these switchbacks straight up a mountain, and it was very hard physically. But going down is scarier! And Sho is right, the weather was tough. There were times when we would just get caught in these big rainstorms. You would get soaked and you were pushing into the wind, and kept you from getting anywhere.
My wife joined us for the first week in a car, just to make sure everything was okay. After a week, she and my daughter went home. So for the rest of the trip we didn't have an easy option. It made us possible to just say: "Well, let's just and deal with it."
How many bike malfunctions did you have throughout the trip?
We had a total of ten flat tires over 67 days. I brought patches, spare tires, a toolkit and a little emergency roadside repair book with me.
How did the book come together?
I kept a journal during the trip, and also kept a blog so friends could stay updated. When I was a teenager, one of my life goals was to write a book. In the middle of this trip I realized, "This is the book!"
Was writing the book or getting it published harder than the actual journey?
In a way, it was. I joined a writing group. These wonderful people gave me suggestions to improve my book. It was really as much of a challenge as it was doing this trip. In both cases, I needed help.
How did it feel when you completed the quest?
It was a relief, but also disappointing because it was really fun.
I was happy for it to end, because I was so tired. I didn't know if I could do this, I had self-doubts, so finishing felt like an accomplishment. I mentioned that one of the reasons I wanted to do this was to spend more time with my son. Now we share a great set of memories.

....and thanks for posting those pics...beautiful gun. I have another thread going trying to determine what type of stock to put on my AMD65. I really like folding stocks, but don't want the AMD stock on my rifle cause then the receiver is dedicated to that AMD65 platform.
I have thought about going the route you did, or going with a german wire folder as suggested by Coils.....Cause you can always buy another Rear trunnion (yours is the adapter that you have to cut tang right?).
Just Curious, why did you choose to fold left? It looks in the pic that you could still use the trigger if it was to the right? Did it block the charging handle and mag release....or is it easier for you to open it up while over you shoulder with the stock on left? Apologies if these are somewhat newb questions....just look at my title, that should explain it....lol. Thanks again!

What you braggin' about? Who you boatin' about?
Mildred Bible Chapel youth pastor
How often have you or I had the chance to walk into a gathering where we were unknown? No faces were familiar and it appeared you didn't know anyone at the gathering.
A favorite way to break the ice would be to greet someone by saying, "I am a good friend of (name of host of the gathering)." Maybe you would say, "I am the brother of the person who this party is for." Then top it off by bringing people over to your famous brother and introducing them.
I think back to the days of Jimmy Carter's presidency. He had a brother who really used his relationship to the president to cause trouble for many. Many popular or famous people will always have those who get a special kick out of identifying with them; so they could be popular or famous also. We like to "drop" names to our own benefit.
Recently, I read the opening verse to the book of James and the book of Jude — two small books toward the end of the New Testament. I had already discovered that these two men were brothers and were half brothers of Jesus. All three had Mary as their mother. I imagined that one of them would bring up their brotherhood with Jesus when they began their writings.
But, a surprise awaited me.
Let me hasten to communicate a little bit about this "brother" of theirs. Jesus was born in a lowly manner though announced by angels to shepherds close by. Jesus had magi visit his house when he was 2 years old, bringing very expensive gifts for the newborn King.
After age 30, Jesus began to teach throughout the entire land of Israel. His miracles included raising dead people to life, healing sicknesses up close and from afar, walking on the sea, and feeding 10,000 to 15,000 people from a few fish and a couple of loaves of bread.
Jesus gave up his life by allowing others to crucify him and then three days later He raised himself from the dead. Many times Jesus stated clearly that he was God. Jesus lived a spectacular life.
So, now for the surprise I found in the books written by James and Jude. James began his book this way, "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ …" (James 1:1). Jude began his book this way, "Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James …" (Jude 1).
Oooh, did you see Jude bringing up that he was a brother of James? But, wait, what did they both say about their older brother, Jesus? They both acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah, God's anointed one to take away the sins of those who would believe that Jesus was God and to provide eternal life for those who would believe in His name.
Both of them went further by announcing that they were "servants" of their half brother, Jesus. Their purpose in life was found in doing everything that Jesus asked them to do. They had become humble followers of Jesus, the Son of God.
Who do you boast about knowing? Who do you brag about? Maybe you would join the Apostle Paul when he said: "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Gal 6:14)
It appears that James and Jude agreed with Paul and lived out their lives that way.

Cesc Fabregas believes Theo Walcott brought Arsenal back from the dead against Barcelona on Wednesday night.
The Spaniard stroked home the equalising penalty just before the end but it was introduction of the Englishman in the 66th minute that sparked the revival. He scored three minutes later and helped his side finally put Barcelona on the back foot.
"Theo made such a difference," said Fabregas. "He went behind them. He created a lot of problems and I think he was the best player.
"We were dead at 2-0. You could never imagine we could come back. In the first half we never saw the ball. You thought you were going to get the ball then they changed sides. In the second half they scored two great goals but we had great spirit and comeback. Not everyone does that against a side like them.
"Overall it was an amazing experience and an amazing game. I will remember it for the rest of my life. My injury makes it bad but I think I would have done it anyway without being injured before."
The result leaves next Tuesday's return game on a knife-edge. Barcelona will be clear favourites but if Arsenal can start the second game like they ended the first then they are capable of pulling it off. Suspensions to key players just add to the drama.
"The team can definitely do it without me," said Fabregas, whose booking means he misses the return. "Barcelona have lost big players like Carlos Puyol and Gerard Pique so I don't think it is the same without them."

Not a fan of the back either but the rest isnt bad. Not ground breaking or anything but acceptable.
It look miles ahead of the current Aveo/the new name. I think that the tail lights are kind of neat looking. As for the front, it might turn some ladies off for its gruff look. Overall, not bad.
Like Enrique Iglesias would say, "I like it." I couldn't help myself
oModernCultureo:Linki dont really like the rear, the rear window angle is a bit off to me, seems like it'll do good for head room but doesnt look sporty.
It looks like it has googley eyes.
Not a fan of this one. Maybe if they make a 5 door and change the front end. Maybe then...

Baucus tax proposal hurts energy industry
It started out as an ambitious plan. Senator Baucus's "clean slate" approach to federal tax reform had initial support from interests on both sides of the aisle. It was supposed to overhaul our bloated, incomprehensible tax code. It was supposed to clean up the hodgepodge of tax credits, lower tax rates and make the entire structure more equitable for everyone.
But now it's shaping up to be a major disappointment. And worse, the final tax plan could have terrible consequences for Montana's economy.
Bits and pieces of the reform have broad support. Like dropping the corporate tax rate, which is the highest in the world, down from 35 percent to a more internationally competitive level.
But the latest "discussion draft" being circulated in Washington has resulted in more contention than consensus. Of particular concern to Montana are a slew of proposals that single out the oil and gas industry for some pretty rough tax treatment.
The energy industry is already one of the most heavily taxed in the nation. They'd be hit even harder if the proposals in the Baucus draft were adopted. The result would be the end of tax policies designed to encourage investment in energy exploration and job creation.
With Montana on the cutting edge of oil and gas exploration, the tax changes in the Baucus discussion draft would have a deeper impact here than in most other states. Job growth in Montana would be stunted; growth in tax revenue that has kept Montana's state and local budgets in the black would drop off; and our overall economic growth would be curtailed.
But the proposals in the current draft could be just the beginning for Montana's oil and gas industry. Additional tax changes that single out energy companies for disparate tax treatment have been proposed in the past few years that would have an even greater impact on the industry.
The idea of fair tax treatment had been a cornerstone of Senator Baucus's tax reform package. But it appears that same idea has been superseded by Washington's insatiable bad habit for picking winners and losers through federal tax policy.
Case in point, those expensive tax subsidies that have been used to prop up the wind and solar industries would be continued under the Baucus plan. In effect, the alternative energies that have already cost taxpayers billions will get additional handouts, and the industries that have been driving job growth in our country will be squeezed even harder.
Only in the alternative universe of Washington, D.C. would it make sense to put hobbles on an economic engine that works, like the energy industry, through arbitrarily increasing their tax burden. While at the same time rewarding companies that have already shown they're not reliable.
The Baucus discussion draft for tax reform is a bad idea, and it could get even worse. It's time to embrace the ideal of equity once again. Though we need a more simplified tax code, the federal government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers or propping up some industries at the detriment of others.
Let's see a true "clean slate" approach again. Let's see tax cuts and elimination of outdated, confusing tax policies and loopholes. A rewrite of the tax code, if done right, will result in a substantial boost to our struggling economy. As it stands, the Baucus proposal would actually do the opposite.
All wealth comes from the ground. Whether it is agriculture or natural resource development. The crops that we raise or the resources we extract from the ground affect everything we do. To add more taxes to oil and gas only adds to the cost of everything from the food we eat to transportation, to the by-products use in manufacturing. At a time when America is working towards energy independence, I find it odd that we as a country would want to increase costs on our domestic production.

Vision-impaired runner completes fifth marathon
MISSOULA, Mont. - NBC Montana told you about Rhonda Copeland, a vision impaired Missoula Marathon runner, back in May. On Sunday, she completed her fifth Missoula Marathon. Rhonda started losing her sight in the 90's because of a genetic disease, but she didn't lose her determination. In fact, she ran her first Missoula Marathon after she started losing her sight.
On Saturday, NBC Montana checked in with Rhonda at several stops during the race, when her partner helped her re-fuel with food and drinks.
The first stop came after nine and a half miles.
"It's going really great…[I'm] feeling good meeting a lot of people ," said Copeland.
Sixteen miles in, she was still going strong.
"I'm feeling aches and pains in different places and then they go away," said Copeland.
About 22 miles in, she came by with a new friend who had been helping to guide her during the final stretch. Rhonda has found that people jump at the chance to lend a hand.
After 26.2 miles, and about five hours of running, it was time to celebrate. Rhonda's body was tired, but her spirit was strong. It's the feeling of having another marathon under her belt, and another chapter in an extraordinary life story.
"It's an awesome feeling to be finished with it, and I can't wait until next year," said Copeland.

text: Posted January 5, 2013 We turned the cream of the crop away by forcing a coach on any incoming GM. At that point, you're picking between a guy you know and a bunch of other second-tier guys not in consideration elsewhere. Add to that the fact that we're just starting our interview process next week after other teams are already on their second and third interviews. Richardson knows him and he's not going to get uppity with JR as he continues his bad decision making. Beane is a very real possibility at this point. Right up our alley. I doubt we're turning anyone away with this decision since it looks like all the other GM jobs are about to be filled. Gettleman is only talking to us.

That does seem to mimic the natural hives I have seen. Im wondering if the trapped air space at the bottom effects IPM for Veroa.

Punta Cana Resort and Club • Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Escape Kit

- All Standard Food and Beverages Included
- A $250 Resort Credit Per Person Toward Horseback Riding, Snorkeling, Segway Riding, Petting Zoo, and Eco-Park
Speckled with a mosaic of shallow marine pools—ideal for a quick dip or a generous splash—the eastern shores of the Dominican Republic are known for their sail-worthy breezes and beachside balnearios. Stroll towards the sugary sands of this nature-rich paradise, and add some Caribbean color your calendar with this week's Escape to Punta Cana.
A recipient of the Travel + Leisure Global Vision Award, The PUNTACANA Hotel is a real bon bon. See why when you and your companion spend four-nights in a Deluxe Room ($822) where you'll each receive a $250 resort credit to spend on snorkeling, horseback riding, golf, Segway riding, the petting zoo, and the eco-park, in addition to all standard meals and drinks—think savory à la carte meals and hand-crafted cocktails. The first 50 purchasers receive an automatic upgrade to a suite with a separate living area.
Spread with richly hued mahogany furniture and glossy marble floors, your vibrant accommodations are located just steps away from the resort's neighboring beaches.
"As the sun rises in the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana awakens to the lapping ocean," says Fodor's. "With clear, unspoiled blue brushing up against the pristine stretches of sugar-white sand, with swaying coco palms in the backdrop."
Stroll towards the PUNTACANA Marina where, overlooking the Caribbean Sea, you'll sip on a custom cocktail from La Yola while enjoying views of the marine life through a glass-viewing portal. Afterward, utilize your included resort credit with a visit to the 1,500-acre Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park and Reserve.
Boasting a network of trails leading to 12 turquoise freshwater lagoons, the park serves as a protected habitat for an abundance of birds, reptiles, insects, and other local flora and fauna. Catch a glimpse of the Ridgeway Hawk, one of the rarest animals in the world, with a total population of just 300 remaining individuals in the wild.
Close your day with a vivid Mediterranean spread from Bamboo, an on-site restaurant surrounded by custom décor from Oscar de la Renta.
Skip piecing together a sparse canvas of homebound hustles—with this week's Escape you'll craft a kaleidoscopic of memories that will last a lifetime.
