Have you noticed anything missing from your home lately? Perhaps a cube of sugar or a piece of tissue paper? If so, you might have Borrowers living under your floorboards! The Secret World of Arrietty, based on the Borrowers books by Mary Norton, follows a spirited young Borrower named Arrietty Clock as she navigates the big world around her. Borrowers are tiny people who "borrow" small items from their regular-sized, human neighbors in order to survive—and they must do this without being discovered.
When a 14-year-old boy named Shawn (voiced by David Henrie) accidentally spots Arrietty, it could spell disaster for her family. Shawn promises to protect his new friend's secret, but his housekeeper, Hara (voiced by Carol Burnett), is not so nice. Will the Clocks escape before Hara exposes them all? The Secret World of Arrietty is in theaters now.
Good Luck Charlie star Bridgit Mendler is the voice of Arrietty. TFK spoke to the actress about playing a teensy girl in a land of giants.
Were you familiar with the Borrowers books before you heard about the project?
I had definitely heard of the story, but I hadn't read the books. My grandfather actually had, so it was cool to tell him about the project. He was excited about that.
Did you get a chance to read the books after you got the role?
I haven't had a chance to yet. It was such a brief project. I worked for three days and then it was over. But it was fun to watch the Japanese version of the movie and put our own spin on the story.
For those who don't know, who exactly are the Borrowers?
The Borrowers are these tiny people who live in the floorboards of human houses. They basically steal from the humans, but only things that people won't notice are missing, like a paperclip or a rubber band or a postage stamp... things like that.
How would you describe your character?
She's a girl with a lot of curiosity and a lot of heart. She meets this human boy, whom she's been instructed by her parents to stay clear of. Humans can be dangerous to Borrowers because they might try to catch them and expose them. But she winds up befriending him anyway, and he winds up needing her help too, so they become good friends.
How did you go about imagining yourself as this tiny being in a huge world?
Well, the cool part about working on animation is that you get to use your imagination a lot. Luckily for me, I had the Japanese version of the movie to watch as I recorded. I enjoyed it, because I was able to step into Arrietty's shoes that way.
Do you share any similarities with her?
I think I'm kind of a curious and adventurous type, too. She loves exploring and climbing. Our family has this island house in Maine, and we'd always climb up on the rocks and explore there. I've always been the tree-climbing type, so it's kind of a throwback to my roots.
Aside from Arrietty, did you have a favorite character from the film?
You know, I like the cat. The cat has a lot of pizazz.
Arrietty likes to collect plants to decorate her room. Do you collect anything?
I love to collect cookbooks. I like looking for new things to cook. And I love having fresh flowers in my house, so the plant similarity with Arrietty is kind of there. I also love chocolate, so I have quite a stash of chocolate around my room!
What was it like to be a part of a voice cast that includes award-winning actors such as Amy Poehler and Carol Burnett, and of course, your Wizards of Waverly Place costar David Henrie?
It was amazing. The interesting thing about animation is that you don't actually meet any of your fellow actors through the process, but I got to see David Henrie again doing publicity for the movie. I got to meet Amy Poehler and Carol Burnett at the press day, too. I'm a big fan of them both.
Speaking of Wizards, we finally learned who gets to be the family wizard! Even though your character, Juliet, was rooting for Justin, do you feel like the right Russo won?
It's always so hard to pick between Alex and Justin, because they both have a passion for what they do. It worked out nicely because Justin loves rules and he loves to have things a certain way, so he gets to become the headmaster of the wizard school and Alex gets to be the family wizard. I approve of that ending.
After playing someone so tiny, do you look at the world differently now?
I was a kid who would play with a penny on my fireplace and pretend it was a car driving along the ridges. I love the idea of looking at things through a different size perspective. Why not think of a staircase as Mount Everest? It's kind of fun to play with perspective.
What message would you like kids to take away from the film?
I think it has a real message of accepting people for who they are. There's this awesome friendship that forms between Shawn and Arrietty. They're very different people who have difficult things they have to deal with and overcome. They're able to be there for each other and accept each other's differences. I'm glad they made that message a part of the movie.

Reviews (5)
My Rat terrier loves it. He needs the small and they shipped a pink lol. He's so funny while playing with it. Great for his puppy teeth.
"My Baby Loves it!"
I took it out of the box and took the wrapper off of it and threw it in the floor to Gracie and she absolutely loved it! They all had a hay day! Chloe jumped down and wanted the smaller one too instead of the bigger one I got her! Brown my chocolate Lab of course thinks she is 2lbs too wanted the little KONG not the big football I got for her lol! KONG toys are great for your pets! I so appreciate Jeffers! I always have! I been doing business with them for 25 years and they have NEVER done me wrong, told me something wrong, my package has always got here on the 2nd day and it matters when you are shipping shots they CAN NOT get hot! THANK YOU JEFFERS! THANK YOU RUTH JEFFERS!
"Great Toy"
Great price for a great toy. My puppy loves it regardless if it has treats in it. Was holding up really good, even after my 100lb lab got a hold of it a few times. He is a 'chew-to-destroy' and it lasted until I didn't notice he had it and ripped a small chunk off it. Its still useable, but Im ordering another one since my puppy loves it so much.
"I got my puppy one of these a few days after I got her and she loved it. Now she's almost two and still prefers the ""puppy"" style kongs to the red rubber ones, I suppose because its softer and more flexible. Even if your dog isn't a puppy, as long as it isn't really a chewer you might have more luck with the puppy line of kongs than with the original line. They're still incredible sturdy and look just like new for years. Definitely a perfect first-toy for any puppy =]"
This is a wonderful product. I have raised 3 puppy litters on these toys. They are very durable, and long lasting. Even my adult poms love them. Great for even the most aggressive chewers. I give it a 5 of 5!

Got my first official 501st troop in on Sunday, and it was a blast! About 40 members of the 501st Connecticut Garrison, Rebel Legion Kamino Base, and special guests from the Empire City Garrison were in attendance. The weather was just about perfect....
I had made a few upgrades to the suit that I was itching to try out and see: new braids from Lewis (amazing looking!!) and a set of Mark Chengs to replace my CABoots (totally psyched about these!). Had a costume malfunction before I even suited up when the scope snapped off the EE-3 in transit -- but that's why the Fett Man carries Slow Zap CA glue at all times. :D
I had been warned ahead of time about how rowdy this particular event had been in the past (especially around an area I dubbed The Beer Garden). But with Ruby from the ECG running interference as Chewie (he really was the star of the parade), this was about as rowdy as it got -- the odd fan or two running up and telling me "Fett is the man!!"
Couple more shots while marching:
The "Now, where did I put the keys to Slave 1????" shot:
and my favorite:
All in all, a great time and I was delighted to meet my fellow CT Legionnaires for the first time. Even better, I think I may FINALLY be able to stop tweaking the suit....until I decide I have to switch the whole darn thing to ESB. :D

Really? In what way do you disagree with it? I can gaurantee for one thing that Eli Manning, if he gotten hurt would not have left the stadium at halftime during the SuperBowl if he were watching the backup play like Phil did during SuperBowl XXV when Hoss was taking care of business. As far as the rest goes, Eli would have flourished in Tuna Fatsos system.
Amazing the talking heads are at it again!

Okay. Of course his performance against that softer than bird **** Denver Broncos defense was more impressive than Eli Mannings performance against the Bellichek coached 4th in NFL Patriots defense in SuperBowl XLII. Of course it was. Keep ****in deluding yourself.

Town Square
Why is the Sequoia Healthcare District switching its Workers Comp. Insurance to ACHD's Alpha Fund?
Original post made by Jack Hickey, Woodside: Emerald Hills, on Dec 6, 2012
ACTION c. Consider Resolution 12-3 Authorizing Application To The State Of California For A Certificate Of Consent To Self Insure Workers' Compensation Liabilities – Mr. Michelson
See: Web Link for additional info on that item, particularly the "Sequoia Healthcare District ALPHA Fund JPA Full Coverage Proposal"
SHCD CEO, Lee Michelson provided some additional information not presented at yesterdays meeting:
"I have some additional information to share with you regarding the Alpha Fund. They were established in 1976 so they have been in business 36 years. They have 57 members including several other healthcare districts, hospitals and non –profits totaling more than 20,000 lives and assets exceeding $1 billion. They are led by the same group that leads ACHD and as a result of joining Alpha Fund we are entitled to a reduction in ACHD dues. As a member we are entitled to attend their meetings and participate in decision making. I am requesting copies of annual reports and newsletters for everyone. Lee"
NOTE: ACHD is the Association of California Healthcare Districts, a lobbying organization which also engages in Grassroots Advocacy. See: Web Link
At the meeting, we were informed that by using the ACHD affiliated ALPHA Fund instead of the California's Workers Comp., we would get a reduction in our dues from $15,000/year to $10,000/year. The District could save another $10,000/year by dropping out of ACHD. That would also save several thousand dollars more on their annual meeting junket.
a resident of Woodside: Emerald Hills
on Dec 8, 2012 at 10:50 am
Note the JPA in "Sequoia Healthcare District ALPHA Fund JPA Full Coverage Proposal". That stands for Joint Powers Agency. The District would have to execute a Joint Powers agreement. This is uneccessary involvement in what should be a contract for insurance.
More about ACHD can be found at Web Link. Read their publications. Check out the big ads by Tramutola. Is there a Sequoia Healthcare District parcel tax in our future?
Let's stop them before that happens.
a resident of Woodside: Emerald Hills
on Dec 21, 2012 at 2:15 pm
This proposal would reduce the amount shown in the budget for Membership dues. Looks a little like "money laundering" to me!
"Insurance" money goes into the ALPHA Fund, which then subsidizes ACHD operations.
ACHD has the following Standing Committee:
Finance Committee
The committee is responsible for the financial oversight of the Association and the ALPHA Fund. The committee is comprised of seven Healthcare District representatives.
Main Objectives:
Develop a priority driven budget and dues assessment recommendation
Evaluate and recommend new revenue streams/services
Evaluate and recommend alternatives for fiscal stability and independence from the ALPHA Fund subsidy
This is not a good reason to switch insurance providers.
Let the SHCD Boardmembers know how you see it. Web Link

Arkansas Court of Appeals Judge Wendell L. Griffen will be the keynote speaker at Pulaski Technical College's annual Black History banquet on Friday, Feb. 27.
The banquet begins at 6 p.m. in the college's Campus Center Grand Hall, located on the main campus at 3000 West Scenic Drive, North Little Rock.
Tickets cost $12 per person and can be purchased by contacting Dianne Butler at (501) 812-2284 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Judge Griffen is a graduate of the University of Arkansas School of Law where he was president of the Black Law Student Association and was a member and associate editor of the Arkansas Law Review. In 1979, he was awarded the first Silas Hunt Memorial Justice Award in memory of Silas Hunt, the first black law student admitted to an institution of higher education below the Mason Dixon line.
After graduating, Griffen joined the Little Rock law firm of Wright, Lindsey & Jennings, becoming the first lawyer of color to join a major Arkansas law firm. He practiced business and tort litigation and was admitted to the partnership in 1984, becoming the first lawyer of color admitted to the partnership of a major Arkansas law firm.
In 1985, Governor Bill Clinton appointed Griffen chairman of the Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission. Griffen served in that position until 1987 and then returned to his law practice with Wright, Lindsey & Jennings. Governor Jim Guy Tucker later appointed Judge Griffen to the Court of Appeals in December 1995, and Griffen entered judicial service on Jan. 1, 1996.
Griffen is a member of the American, National and Arkansas Bar Associations. He has served as president (1998-99) of the Pulaski County Bar Association, and he was a charter board member of the Volunteer Organization for Central Arkansas Legal Services (VOCALS.)

I hope to harvest 2 bars of foundationless Acer maple honey in the next week (not quite capped all the way). This will be my first honey harvest from my bees. With a top bar hive, I don't plan to have huge amounts to harvest all at once. Probably 2-4 bars at a time. I've watched you-tube videos on the actual process. But does anyone want to share their easiest, least messy way of doing this for just a couple of bars/frames?
I guess the one I like the best is to chop the honeycomb up in a bowl into very fine pieces and then load it into a 1/2 gallon mason jar that has a screen over the lid. Tip that up over another 1/2 gallon mason jar and let it drain into that one. Seems simple enough, until the top jar tips over... Has anyone tried this?


text:
Any of you ever seen this? I have bees building up from the bottom of foundationless frames. I believe its because they build a lot of burr comb between the supers and seem to have just continued it on up into the foundationless frame. Just wondering what other folks have seen and what they did about it.
In another hive, all the foundationless frames are built with cross comb. Fortunately I will just harvest the entire super and be done with it. I'm beginning to get the feeling that alternating small cell foundation with foundationless would be the best combination. If you have experience or comments, please feel free to share. I'm all ears.

The plugs wires cap rotor were replaced at 100k miles, I've also replaced the fuel pump and filter recently (pump went out). Has anyone else had this problem or know what may be causing this? I am guessing it could be the fuel pressure regulator but havent done any test to confirm this.

At a Glance: Some Federal, State and Local Responsibilities Under No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
Who defines "highly qualified"teacher?
NCLB sets the minimum requirements:
NCLB sets a deadline:
The secretary of education is responsible for monitoring state plans and providing assistance to states as they seek to meet these requirements.
States define "highly qualified teacher" according to the requirements of NCLB.
States may develop this definition according to their own unique needs. States determine what is meant by "full state certification." They may streamline requirements to make it less burdensome for talented individuals to enter the profession.
States develop a plan with goals for their districts, detailing how they will ensure that all teachers of core academic subjects will be highly qualified by the end of the 2005-06 school year.
States determine ways in which teachers can demonstrate competency in the subjects they teach, according to the requirements in NCLB. (For example, states choose whether or not to adopt their own high, objective, uniform state standard of evaluation [HOUSSE] for current teachers.)
Districts ensure that newly hired teachers in Title I schools/programs meet their state's definition of "highly qualified teacher."
Districts work with states to communicate with current teachers regarding the "highly qualified" teacher definition, and provide a way for teachers to determine whether or not they meet the state definition of "highly qualified teacher".
Districts work with states to support teachers who do not meet the "highly qualified" teacher definition in the subjects they teach, providing opportunities or options for them to meet the requirements by the end of the 2005-06 school year.
Who determines what is high-quality professional development?
In NCLB,the term "high-quality professional development" refers to the definition of professional development in Title IX, Section 9101(34).It includes, but is not limited to, activities that:
States report to the secretary of education the percentage of teachers involved in high-quality professional development.
States monitor the districts' use of professional development dollars provided by Title II grants, as well as by other federal and state funds.
States must use a minimum of 5 percent of their Title I funds for professional development for teachers and other school-level employees.
To receive federal funds for improving teacher quality (Title II, Part A), districts must perform a needs assessment and use data to make decisions regarding the type of high-quality professional development to be provided for teachers. Teachers must be involved in this process.
Districts and schools look at student achievement levels and set professional development goals for teachers.
Who defines and determines adequate yearly progress (AYP)?
NCLB sets requirements for state definitions of AYP, which is the progress that schools and districts must show in educating all students to grade-level standards, as reflected in student assessments.
NCLB requires subgroup accountability: English language learners, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged youth, and break-outs by race and ethnicity.
NCLB sets a goal for AYP--100 percent proficiency for all students and each subgroup by the end of the 2013-14 school year.
The secretary of education approves and monitors each state's accountability plan, ensuring that it meets the NCLB minimum requirements.
States use assessment data to set benchmarks and determine a trajectory for meeting the goal of 100 percent proficiency by the end of the 2013-14 school year.
States use their own reading and math tests, participation rates in testing and at least one other academic indicator (such as performance on science assessments or graduation rate) when determining AYP.
States must provide assistance to districts in need of improvement and may choose to implement supports for districts, such as professional development, targeting of funds and other assistance.
States oversee districts' actions to help support schools identified as in need of improvement.
Districts provide information to the state about performance on all indicators--math and reading assessments, assessment participation rates, and others.
Districts use this information, as well as determinations of achievement gaps in subgroups of students, to inform decision making at the district and school levels.
At the school level, principals and teachers use assessment data, participation rates and other indicators to help improve student achievement.

PlayBook: Four More Years
The Anti-Endorsement: betting the farm on Four More Years plus this week's NFL lines and picks.
Mitt Romney doesn't seem like much of a football fan these days; in fact, he doesn't seem like much of anything at all. He's got a serious case of The Bends from all the pressure boiling up in his brain and it's starting to permeate the soft tissue of his spine. Sources close to him say it's beginning to affect his basic survival instinct, that The Candidate is reeling and has to routinely be locked up in a decompression chamber for ten or twelve hours at a time to avoid being overcome by catatonic despair, the terminally crippling sensation that comes over a person when the daunting reality sets in that soon, soon you might have to reap all the fat shit you've sown and pay back all the hard-bought ugly favors and straw poll support you've borrowed from every two-bit political hustler who's smelled even faintly of money or power.
Right. And that's it in a nutshell, running for president on the campaign trail in 2012. It's an ugly trip and not one taken lightly by the old-time party bosses who don't like to see The Candidate crippled by something as serious as Campaign Bloat this close to the critical date.
Wait. What's that? Campaign Bloat? For those of you who don't know, Campaign Bloat was identified and perhaps described best by the Good Doctor back in 1972 as…
"…a gruesome kind of false fat condition that is said to be connected somehow with failing adrenal glands. The swelling begins within twenty-four hours of that moment when the victim first begins to suspect that the campaign is essentially meaningless. At that point, the body's entire adrenaline supply is sucked back into the gizzard, and nothing either candidate says, does, or generates will cause it to rise again…and without adrenaline, the flesh begins to swell; the eyes fill with blood and grow smaller in the face, the jowls puff out from the cheekbones, the neck-flesh droops, and the belly swells up like a frog's throat…The brain fills with noxious waste fluids, the tongue is rubbed raw on the molars, and the basic perception antennae begin dying like hairs in a bonfire." (Rolling Stone, September, 1972).
Yes. Yes, that's it. That must be what The Candidate is going through. I don't know how we didn't spot it sooner; all the signs were there: the compulsive and previously repressed urge to gamble, the spewing of bad, shocking gibberish on live TV, an inability to compose a coherent thought, deterioration of social graces, lack of filter and finally a foaming at the mouth as the eyes roll back into the head and the central nervous system goes, leaving the body completely useless and acting of its own accord.
The terminal stages of Campaign Bloat are indeed a sight rarely seen; rarely do we get to witness in full view a candidate who is so close to the White House he feels he might be able to ooze his way in through the windows while everyone else is asleep. That absurd notion comes from the dementia which is another pervading symptom of The Bloat and one that will not soon recede; when the deal goes down and Romney's left on the outside looking in, he'll flip and spend the rest of his days barking like a dog on command every time some snake like Eric Cantor or Reince Priebus snaps their ugly little fingers.
And that's that. Mitt Romney is done in this business. Very few people come back from a twice-failed presidential bid, and the ones that do typically have to be handled with care. No one who stands straight up and asks for your vote should in the same breath offend so many others and be elected to the highest office in the land for doing so. Mitt Romney has made a habit of blundering badly through every social policy issue he's faced and we should not reward him for doing so.
Selah. For what it's worth and in case I hadn't made it abundantly clear, I'd be voting for Obama on Tuesday; Vegas has him pegged at 9/4 to take 290-309 electoral college votes, and that seems about right. I'll be betting the farm on Four More Years.

Exploring the mind of a killer
Psychopathic killers are the basis for some must-watch TV, but what really makes them tick? Neuroscientist Jim Fallon talks about brain scans and genetic analysis that may uncover the rotten wiring in the nature (and nurture) of murderers. In a too-strange-for-fiction twist, he shares a fascinating family history that makes his work chillingly personal.

text: Several moves that used to be unusual have recently become fairly commonplace because they have been explicitly rewarded in the new judging system (e.g., edge changes in spins, spirals with the free leg in front) Others have become even more unusual because they're explicitly devalued (e.g., split flip, which would now count as a single flip with maybe +2 GOE). Others would just count as transitions or variations under the current system as well as the old, which is where there is still room for creativity. I start a thread on another board a couple years ago for appreciating unusual and creative moves. I'm bored today, so I thought I'd bring it here. Unfortunately many of my favorites are not available on youtube. A lot of these videos are old and grainy and you can't see the blades very well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ngCbGaf1bM Cross-foot spin (a required move for the men's short program some years in the 80s), double axel from long forward outside glide, broken leg spin and forward outside edge spin (level 2 combo spin?), double jumps from low bent-forward two-foot takeoff, forward single jumps in both directions, landing on the same forward outside edge as the takeoff. I guess we would consider them a variety of half-axel, but I like to think of them as forward loop jumps since they stay on the same edge just like the standard (back outside) loop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmVr4tszems split lutz @ 4:20 Notice that several of these earlier programs used to include sequences (most of which wouldn't count as such under today's COP rules) with half and one-and-a-half jumps leading into doubles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFuqkv7CQaI half-axel, one-foot axel, half flip, one-foot axel, half flip, double axel @1:50 one-foot salchow @2:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNP6VaJZzE0 double inside axel @ 3:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeyK-bFKNHE only example I could find of a single on youtube is the same skater, @ 1:42 Does anyone have the 1994 US Nationals broadcast with Mark Mitchell's program joined in progress? There's an inside axel there, in close proximity to a one-foot axel, just for comparison purposes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dMjMrCDCiM one-foot axel just before 1:00 later . . . a spiral that's held long enough to show how the move got its name http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ4FhzvSmvY one of my all-time favorite pieces of ladies' choreography for purposes of this thread, check out two bunny hops into two half-inside axels, lunge to clockwise reverse half-axel, double axel (fall ) just before the end http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_StmRWK_Cxc turns in both directions on same foot into triple lutz; flying camel with forward inside edge and back three+edge change from exit edge; circular steps supposed to be all on one foot but unsuccessful here; rotation on toepick at end of first foot of combo spin Use this thread to offer more examples of cool stuff: Old moves that were ahead of their time and now welcomed in IJS? Old moves that have been lost because skaters were busy pursuing triple jumps instead or because they would mean giving up points in IJS? New moves developed under the new rules? Other transitions and elements that are cool just because they're cool? Can we get more examples of female experimentation? Of course there are all the flexi spin and spiral positions.

text: MTA President Paul Toner joins state Board of Higher Education MTA President Paul Toner is the newest member of the state Board of Higher Education. Toner, who attended his first meeting as a member of the board June 7, was appointed by Governor Deval Patrick to fill the labor position on the board. The Board of Higher Education defines the mission and sets policy for the Massachusetts system of public higher education and represents the administrations at all nine state universities and 15 communities. "I am pleased to appoint Paul Toner to the Board of Higher Education and look forward to his contributions as we work to ensure that our students receive a world-class education," Patrick said. "Paul has been a vocal advocate for the students educated by his members and has been a strong partner in advancing a progressive education reform agenda." Toner, a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Boston, where he earned a master's degree in secondary education, said he welcomed the opportunity to represent the interests of union members. The 107,000-member MTA includes more than 13,000 public higher ed employees who serve as faculty and staff at the state's 15 community colleges, nine state universities, and the University of Massachusetts. "I look forward to working with my fellow board members to continue to push the Commonwealth toward excellence for all students," Toner said. "Our 29 public campuses play a vital role in the development and support of young minds in every corner of the state by providing a top-notch, challenging education to many of our state's residents who more often than their peers stay here and contribute to our communities and strengthen our economy." Toner replaces Boston Building Trades President James Coyle as the board's labor representative. State statute requires at least one member of the board to come from the world of labor. Education Secretary Paul Reville described Toner as open minded and willing to think outside of the box about how to solve problems together. "I can't think of a better colleague to work with on the labor side of the equation," Reville said at today's BHE meeting. Toner is "articulate and assertive in representing the needs and interests of his members," Reville said, adding "He is not willing to back down, but at the same time he is willing to look at things in different ways and recognize our common ground." BHE Chair Dr. Charles Desmond called Toner a "tremendous asset" to the board and noted that his background and expertise will help to expand the conversation to include early education and elementary and secondary education.. "We welcome President Toner to the dialogue and look forward to working with him on the critical issues that impact our students," Desmond said. Higher Education Commissioner Dr. Richard M. Freeland added, "I'm looking forward to working with President Toner and know he will make sure that labor's voice is represented." Subscribe to MTA News Headlines by Email

See y'all on the RIVER!
Ill be the one with a fishing pole in hand.
See y'all on the RIVER!
Ill be the one with a fishing pole in hand.
Have fun! Good luck. My fishing season is this winter on the ice.
Thanks. I dont get much fishing done, but Im going for half a day Sunday. Kings and COHOs are in river and the ocassional Brown.
Well as it turned out another great Salmon season with 1000 of my favorite friends fishing along side of me. My son and I tried a drift boat this year for the first time. That was great. Alot of fun and we had action all day long. Couple more weeks and it will be time to go after the steelies in the river.
This thread would be a lot more believable with pictures!
I haven't caught any salmon or steelhead since moving from northern IL.
You must deal with alot of Posers in your life... Well believe it or not, that is completely up to you as it doesnt really matter that much to me! I will be eating Salmon all winter long regardless.
Im not much of one for taking pictures though my guide took some this year but I dont have them yet, so here is one of my son with our days catch last season at the cleaning stations:aaron.jpg
Sorry, I chose my words poorly, I did not doubt your catches, just wanted to see if you had any pictures to post.
No prob. Sometimes you just dont know how to take folks without seeing em face to face. Something these computers steal from us. I still dont have pics from this year yet, as I just got my phone back together from a broken screen. I need to txt the guide as he took some pics. The one I really liked is the 38" male King I caught. It was the first fish landed the day we used the guide on the river. My arms felt like I had just pulled honey all day long after getting him in the boat.
alright. I finally have some salmon pictures from my guide. 37inchmaleking.jpg The first picture is the 37-38 inch male king I caught which was fist catch of day.
aaron1.jpg The second picture is of my son Aaron who caught a large female king.
aaronsmallsalmon.jpg The third is the small king my son caught. The large female was the first of the day catch for my boy. You can see the enjoy on the third fish as its much easier for my boy to hold up for the picture.
Just as soon as honey extracting is done I will be back there for steelhead and Browns.
BMAC are you fishing the salmon river , I get up there once in awhile for the steelie's one of the best fighting fish , especially on a flyrod !!!
Yes sir. Bridge from 13 & 11 to Altmar bridge is all fair game for me. I dont have a flyrod, but I generally use my spinning rod with fly techniques. I haven't gotten back for any Steelies yet, but hey season is just started on them. I am sure I will get up there and hammer on some before winter is out!
Your lucky to be so close , I wish I could get up more often and learn the river better . Good luck with the steelies !!!!!!!!!!
thanks. Yes so I can be on the river in 1:45 minutes from getting in my car. Thats considering how long it takes my fat to wiggle into my waders.

Power comes from a 3.0-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel with 175 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. A stop/start system is also used to improve efficiency. Standard features include a locking rear differential, exhaust brake, approach and departure angles that are nearly doubled over the 4x2 model, and a 40,000-kilometer maintenance interval. Options are plentiful, including single or crew-cab bodies, two wheelbase choices, payload up to 3,725 kilograms, 320 millimeters of ground clearance and 100 plain, metallic and pearl-finish paint colors.
For truck fans, there's a press release below and a high-res gallery of the Canter 4x4 in all kinds of poses.
- 6.5 tonne model with high payload capacity
- 35 degree approach and 25 degree departure angles
- Ground clearance of up to 320 millimetres
- Rear differential lock fitted as standard
- Highly functional cab· Choice of single or crewcab and two wheelbases
- 175 hp engine delivering a powerful 430 Nm of torque
- Euro V and EEV certification as standard with EGR, DPF & SCR
Stuttgart/Ötigheim – The range of new-generation Fuso Canter trucks made its debut following extensive revision of the vehicle's technology and styling. The range of conventionally rear-wheel-drive light-duty trucks with their high payload is about to get a new variant featuring selectable all-wheel drive.Its off-road capabilities make the Fuso Canter 4×4 the ideal choice for all applications where operation on unsurfaced roads is required, for example on construction sites, in the energy supply sector and in service with the fire brigade. For municipal authorities, it lends itself to use as a winter service vehicle with snowplough and salt spreader. Its width of a mere two metres means that it can also negotiate narrow openings with ease. The Canter 4×4 demonstrates its efficiency well on the construction site, for example, as its all-wheel drive can be engaged to allow it to cope with the loose surfaces.
Its high payload capacity and optionally available start/stop function also make the Canter 4×4 an efficient workhorse.The new Canter model shares the same practical strengths as its predecessors: good manoeuvrability (the 3415 mm wheelbase version has a turning circle of 13.5 m), a space-saving cab-over-engine layout, a robust construction, an ergonomically located shift lever in the instrument panel, enhanced safety thanks to a strong cab design and low brake wear as a result of the standard exhaust brake.
The Canter 4×4, model designation 6C18, will be offered with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 6.5 tonnes, a two-metre wide comfort cab and a power output of 129 kW (175 hp). The all-wheel drive can be selected and deselected during a journey, thereby ensuring fuel-efficient operation. A differential lock for the rear axle is fitted as standard.
Customers will be able to choose from comfortable single cabs or crewcabs
(3 and 7 seats respectively) with wheelbases of 3415 mm and 3865 mm. Payload capacity ranges from 3500 kg to 3735 kg. The vehicle's approach and departure angles are 35 degrees and 25 degrees respectively (as opposed to 18 degrees and 11 degrees for the Canter 4×2).
Cab: powerful design with long-term corrosion protection
Like the conventional Canter, the new 4×4 model also comes with a completely re-designed cab. One distinctive feature of the new Fuso Canter 4×4 is its dynamic front-end styling which emphasises the vehicle's off-road functionality and capabilities. The V-shaped radiator grille, with its strong lines and prominent logo, are particularly eye-catching. The dynamic V motif continues above the large headlamps right to the door beading. The new Canter therefore fits perfectly into the brand's current styling concept.
The painted area has been extended as far as the lower edge of the windscreen to emphasise the Canter's sturdy, robust nature. The three-part steel bumper is kitted out with practical anthracite-coloured plastic corner sections. Daytime running lamps have been integrated into the fog lamp housings. Fog lamps and daytime running lamps come as standard on all models.
First introduced for the 4×2 model, the new cataphoretic dip priming (CDP) and the powder-coated frame provide optimum long-term corrosion protection. Customers can choose from around 100 colours for the cab, including several metallic and pearl paint finishes; they can also opt for a custom paint colour, all of which ensures that the new Canter 4×4 is distinctively individual right from the moment it leaves the factory.
Cockpit: comfortable and functional
The functional cab-over-engine concept of the new Fuso Canter 4×4 features a two-colour, harmoniously designed cockpit with high-quality materials that are pleasant to the touch. Both driver and co-driver benefit from even better access from left to right through the cab.
Round vents surround the instrument panel. The circular dials are easy to read. The economical range on the rev counter is clearly marked. The multifunction display between the instruments provides information such as time and distance travelled, it also includes a trip computer to calculate fuel consumption, a display which shows the status of the particulate filter and a warning lamp for the fuel level. The operating buttons are arranged within easy reach around the steering wheel.
The storage concept focuses fully on the needs of the driver and co-driver. The centre console contains two DIN slots, a storage compartment with flap and a pull-out drinks holder for two containers. On the co-driver's side, items can be stored in an open stowage tray and a lockable glove compartment. A stowage facility for documents and a compartment for a mobile phone or small items underline the practical design and layout of the dashboard. Roof stowage boxes, door storage bins and stowage facilities behind and between the seats round off the stowage space options.
Seats: lumbar supports and integral head restraints
Both the driver's and co-driver's seats feature integral head restraints. The driver's seat is equipped with an adjustable lumbar support as standard. A mechanically sprung comfort seat with armrest is available as an option. On the standard-fitted co-driver's double bench seat, a special feature of the left-hand seat (when viewed in the direction of travel) is the frame-type head restraint for better rearward visibility. The same head restraint design is used for the seats of the rear bench seat on the new Canter 4×4 with crewcab. Even the occupant of the centre seat is assured a comfortable seating position since the centre seat provides the same amount of legroom as the outer co-driver's seat.
Automated climate control and more effective heating
The heating and air conditioning systems in the new Canter 4×4 are also worthy of mention. The key features include a high airflow rate in the footwell and head areas and an efficient heat exchanger. The powerful air conditioning system is an attractive feature. A fully automatic system is available as an alternative to the manually controlled air conditioning unit.
State-of-the-art Euro V engine with very wide effective engine speed range
The new Fuso Canter 4×4 is powered by a four-cylinder turbo diesel engine with Euro V and EEV certification. Only the most powerful version of this 3-litre engine – developing 129 kW (175 hp) at 3500 rev/min – is installed on the all-wheel drive model. It boasts a maximum full-load torque of 430 Newton metres which is available constantly from 1600 to 2900 rev/min.
The modern, long-stroke engine (in-house designation 4P10) brims with the latest technology: namely two robust chain-driven overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, an exhaust gas turbocharger with variable turbine geometry, a common rail injection system and piezo injectors for precise fuel metering.
Low fuel consumption – high cost-effectiveness
The increased payload and significantly reduced maintenance costs have both helped to improve cost-effectiveness. The 40,000 km maintenance interval has also resulted in a marked reduction in maintenance costs and further underlines the excellent cost-effectiveness of the Fuso Canter 4×4. To reduce diesel consumption even further, the new Canter 4×4 is also available on request with a start/stop function.
Exhaust gas aftertreatment: SCR plus exhaust gas recirculation plus particulate filter
The new Canter 4×4 is equipped with the most powerful version of the 3.0 litre engine, capable of delivering a power output of 175 hp. This engine features SCR technology with AdBlue injection, a well-proven technology used on Daimler Trucks. This promising combination, which is also used in heavy-duty commercial vehicles, delivers more power for even less fuel. The AdBlue tank in the Canter is located on the left-hand side, immediately adjacent to the fuel tank and holds 12 litres. Thanks to the low AdBlue consumption, this is sufficient for a range of around 8000 km.
In addition to SCR exhaust aftertreatment technology, a combination of exhaust gas recirculation and fully automatic particulate filter regeneration ensures optimum emissions performance. If the vehicle is being used mainly for very short trips, manual regeneration of the particulate filter may be necessary owing to the low engine temperatures. A status indicator in the multifunction display tells the driver whether manual regeneration is required. Manual regeneration can be activated by a switch.
Frame emphasises the body-friendly concept
The uniform hole pattern of the high-payload frame on the Canter 4×4 makes life much easier for bodybuilders. All chassis are available on request with body consoles to facilitate body assembly. Drilling the ladder-type frame is no longer required. To save space, the coolant expansion tank is located under the cab, enabling the body to be moved closer to the rear wall of the cab.
The new Canter 4×4 can be factory fitted with two different power take-off variants, with or without flange. Their output is 31 kW. The Canter is also available ex-works with an external power take-off rpm controller which can be positioned where required. The interface for the controller is located on the rear of the cab.
As an option, Fuso can deliver the new Canter 4×4 equipped with a voltage converter. This ensures that the 12 V vehicle electrical system can be connected to a 24 V interface such as those frequently used by bodybuilders on medium-size truck bodies. To guarantee the power supply, Fuso can also deliver the new Canter with various alternators adapted to the intended use.
Traditional strengths of the Canter also feature on the 4×4
The Canter 4×4 features the same traditional strengths as the Canter 4×2, namely excellent manoeuvrability, a space-saving cab-over-engine design, good visibility thanks to low windows and a short front overhang, a robust construction, a compact joystick shift lever on the dashboard, straightforward maintenance thanks to a tilting cab which provides easy access to the main assemblies, enhanced safety and reduced wear thanks to the standard-fitted exhaust brake.
Safety is paramount
Safety is also of paramount importance on the new Canter 4×4. The doors feature side-impact protection as standard. Airbags are available as optional equipment for driver and co-driver. Like the conventional model, the new Canter 4×4 also features the Fuso RISE passive safety system as well as Brake Override technology which give general priority to the brake signal if the brake and accelerator pedals are inadvertently depressed simultaneously.
Like all Fuso Canter models, the new all-wheel drive variant is also equipped as standard with an exhaust brake. Operated from a steering-column switch and generating up to 50 kW of braking power, the exhaust brake increases safety by protecting the service brake and at the same time reduces costs by prolonging the service life of the brake pads.

text: Find out why using labor-units to estimate labor hours on any electrical wiring project is a skill that combines both art and science. For many electrical contractors, determining the labor hours required to complete a job can be very intimidating. Before you can estimate a job with a fair degree of accuracy, you must gain confidence in how to determine the expected labor hours and their related costs.

My top bar hives are built using Phil Chandlers (barefoot beekeeper) plans. Last year I built a smaller 10 bar version for a nuc hive. I would like to build some more of the same size to use as bait hives but was wondering if this is too big, too small or a good size for this. I understand it would probably work fine but I am interested in what you all would consider the optimum size.
Thanks for any input.

Atlanta just got alot weaker against the run lmao.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 5m
The two-year deal the Falcons gave former Giants DE Osi Umenyiora is worth $8.5 million, max value of $12 mil, and includes $5 million gtd.
Surprised he signed for that cheap....they way he was complaining I thought he would only take a monster deal
Sad to see him go, even though I knew it was coming. Living in New England, he was part of the D-line that crushed the hearts of everyone around me... AND I LOVED IT!!, watching him mature under Strahan and winning another without his mentor stamps him in my book as always a Giant.
Thanks for the memories, especially the strip-sacks and the (?)jet-celebrations.
good luck down there in the A !

I had a couple mating nucs where the queen cell failed.
But the nucs raised a new cell.
Will the queen be acceptable or should I pitch it?
I had a couple mating nucs where the queen cell failed.
But the nucs raised a new cell.
Will the queen be acceptable or should I pitch it?
They raised it from larva you put in the NUC?
If so yes let them finish their Job
A queen that lays a wall to wall brood pattern is a good queen. Don't kill maybe the best queen in your yard, just because you don't know who her mother is. Let her have a chance.
When I split my hive last month, I did not positively find all of the queen cells that were produced.
Point is the one that hatched first was a hidden one. So I was watching the wrong queen cell (it was in the front by the window)and the queen inside that cell was probably dead already. Early queen gets the job. They can use the eggs over a 3 day period at best so its possible to have one hatch before another.
When did you notice the new queen cell.? How many days between the first one and the new.
I raised queen cells. (I use a variant of the Cloake system.)
When queen cells were ripe, I pulled two frame nucs (one frame bees, one frame larvae with bees) and installed cells to hatch.
Out of ten nucs, two failed, but raised their own queen cells from the frame of larvae.
I have no idea what age larvae they started with. Also, can a weak nuc raise a quality queen?
So I have two nucs with cells. I am unsure of the quality. But the cells look well formed.
Define acceptable. Unless you need the equipment for something else hang on to her - and keep track of her. I label them "utility queens" - They produce brood, they build comb, they requeen swarms in a pinch, sometimes they are as good as any, sometimes better than most. You never know until you know. One thing for sure - they never spent half a week in a mailing envelope and another 3 days in a queen cage.
This is why you need several inexpensive nucs around - so you always have a place to stash a spare queen.

I am a noob to this forum and a relative noob to bee keeping as well. I started in the spring of '11 with a new hive and a package of bees and a queen. A friend, Bernie, from my church has about 8 or 10 hives and has helped my tremendously with getting started and getting through some rough patches. My hive did well its first summer and wintered nicely - especially since spring started in February here. They made honey like crazy and probably swarmed but I wasn't paying attention so I missed it. By late July, I had 7 boxes on my hive with most of them at capacity. I was pretty geeked about how well it was humming along.
Sometime in late July or early August I got a feeling that something wasn't quite right. I watched the bees for a week or so before I decided to go in. My friend Bernie was spending the summer up north and since I didn't have much in the way of equipment, I just went in with a mask and gloves and small fire in a bucket for smoke. Everything looked fine throughout the hive, thousands of bees and honey and pollen stores galore. About 4:00 am the next morning, it hit me...there was no brood at all...my queen was dead.
I called Bernie to go through it with him and he suggested I call another friend of his. Rich was out of town, but told me that my hive was toast and I should probably write it off. Well, I didn't particularly like that answer, so I ordered a new queen from GA and "borrowed" two frames of capped brood from Bernie and put them in my hive.
Well, the queen took 10 days to get here because of the post office, so the apiary sent me another to replace her. I put the queen in and went out of town for the weekend. 5 days later I let her out of her box.
In the mean time, the second queen arrived, so i bought a new hive and stole a few frames of honey and bees out of my main hive and set it up at my church with some of Bernie's hives. I let the queen go 5 days in her cage in the #2 hive before I let her out. Not 1 bee was flying around that hive for almost a week after I first set it up.
So, hive #1, was still lethargic to my mind so I opened her up and found nothing, no brood, just a ton of bees...and a frame of drone brood with a bunch dead larvae with "funny little brown dots on them"... Varroa mites...so I took that frame out and threw it in my freezer and thought I was really hosed. Did the mites come from the borrowed brood or the queen or outside?? They came with the **** queen!! I found dead mites inside her cage under where the candy had been!!!
Now I went to hive #2 and the bees were flying like mad!! I pulled out a couple of frames and found the queen walking around doing her business!! (I had the queens marked...best $2.50 I ever spent!) Tomorrow will be about the 2 week mark, so I'll go take a peek in there.
Meanwhile, Hive #1..I went back in there last Sunday, still no brood in either of the bottom boxes where I put the queen, but for grins, I took some frames out if the third box and there she was...laying eggs like a good girl with lots of brood in various stages!! I quickly put the have back together and let her go back to work!!
No about these mites...that's my next project for this weekend. Powdered sugar sounds like the best option at this point...ideas?
Thanks for reading!

Enbridge Energy oil pipeline topic of Brainerd meeting
The League of Women Voters of the Brainerd Lakes area will present a program on the Enbridge Energy oil pipeline installed through northern Minnesota at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, at Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Baxter.
Enbridge Oil has petitioned the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) for permission to expand the quantity of tar sand oil pumped through the "Alberta Clipper" pipeline, which runs across all of northern Minnesota to Superior, Wis., and on to Illinois.
The PUC has approved the first phase of the expanded pumping, and if Enbridge receives final approval, it would double the current capacity of tar sand oil passing through Minnesota to 880,000 barrels a day.
One of the routes for the pipeline runs through northern Crow Wing County and southern Cass County, and there are benefits and potential problems that arise.
Marty Cobenais, spokesman for the indigenous Environmental Network, will be the speaker for this program, discussing the history of leaks and spills from other Enbridge lines, the corrosive nature of the oil sludge and the health and environmental disaster that the mining of the tar sands is for the indigenous people living in the area who rely on the local lakes and waters for food and water.

Scarves are the unsung heroes of any man's wardrobe. Knitted, woven, or silky, the scarf is an accessory that will make you instantly stylish. Scarves in the spring may seem confusing to Canadian men, but a lightweight scarf in the spring adds a little warmth and a lot of style in the early days of the season.
