Nothing says "I love you" better than toast. Think about it...it's sweet, it's warm...it's, um, better with butter. Wait, what? Anyway, this Toast Stamper is awesome. Just press it into a piece of bread (plain white bread works best), remove it, and then toast your bread on your toaster's "dark" setting. The result will be the most romantic toast ever! Toast!

Gracefully hand-delivered is a hidden message of love. Both the woman's hand and the envelope are brass with an antique finish. The miniature envelope is a secure, working locket. Its top flap opens and inside is a brass letter with a scripted "I love you" text etched into it. The letter is completely removable, and is kept secure when tucked inside the locket. Necklace chain is also brass in an antique finish. Necklace chain measures 17.5 inches or 44.5 cm. I can make the necklace longer or shorter, upon request. As is, this necklace is designed to sit near the collarbone. Will ship within 1-2 days of purchase and arrive beautifully gift-wrapped in a box with ribbon.

The kings of hockey are back! Last year, the Los Angeles Kings hockey team won its first Stanley Cup after 45 years. The Stanley Cup is the trophy awarded every year to the National Hockey League (NHL) playoff winner. Now the Kings have raised their championship banner and started a new season.
Hockey season usually starts in September or October. But this year all the teams in the NHL sat out much of the season due to a lockout. A lockout occurs when the players and the league disagree on items like player contracts and salaries. During a lockout, games get cancelled. Sometimes the whole season gets cancelled! Fortunately, an agreement was finally reached so fans can now watch their favorite game once again.
The hockey season opened on January 19 with a game between the LA Kings and the Chicago Blackhawks, in Los Angeles, California. The Blackhawks beat the Kings 5-2.
TFK caught up with Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi, who scored the team's first goal in 2013, at a practice session. He revealed how he started playing hockey, what he loves most about the game and what career he'd choose if he wasn't a hockey player.
When did you start playing hockey?
I was six years old when I first started playing. My father, my younger brother and I all started playing hockey at the same age. We went to a couple of public sessions and the next year my father signed my brother and me up. Both of us have been playing ever since.
What do you love about playing hockey?
I love the sport, first of all. But I guess the thing I like the most is the fact that you're part of a team and that all the guys on the ice are working together to try to achieve one thing. I love that it's not just about you, but about your teammates as well.
What is most challenging about it?
I'm an older guy in the locker room, but I still have to try to push myself to be better. That's the challenge, but it's also the fun part.
How did it feel to win the Stanley Cup twice?
It was pretty awesome; I'm not going to lie! A lot of people say, the first time is the most special. But I know when that buzzer went off, and I was part of another team winning a Stanley Cup, I felt pretty special again.
How do you feel about this Saturday's season opener? How does it feel to be back?
It feels great to be back. During the lockout, we all felt a bit out of sorts. It was the first time since I was about six years old that I didn't play hockey in the months from September through December. But I got to hang out with my family and my kids a little more and that was a lot of fun. Then again, you can only play this game for so long, so I am grateful that we have an agreement and that we'll be playing again.
What did you do with your day with the Stanley Cup trophy?
I was home in Boston, and we had some close family and friends over to see it. At night, my wife and I took it into the city to a couple of our favorite places and we had a good time with it.
Do you have any good luck charms or rituals that you need to do before a game?
I don't have any good luck charms. I'm not a real superstitious guy. But I will get dressed the same way every day, just out of habit. It's more of a routine. I put on the left skate before the right skate. But if my left skate was broken and I had to put my right skate on first, I wouldn't freak out.
If you weren't a professional hockey player, what do you think you'd be doing for a living?
I think I'd probably be a policeman or a fireman. My father was a policeman for 30 years in the suburbs of New York and I always thought it was an honorable profession because you serve your community and help others.
What advice would you give to a kid who dreams of playing hockey professionally one day?
You have to work hard and you have to enjoy it. A lot of people ask advice about how to get straight to the top. You have to enjoy where you're at and enjoy the game. At the same time, you have to work to improve yourself as a player. Even though we play at a high level in the NHL, all the guys still enjoy the game and still love to play.
What do you plan to do when you retire from hockey?
I love the game and I would love to stay involved in some way, maybe through scouting or coaching. I would also like to stay home. I've moved my family around quite a bit during my professional career and I think I'd like to stay in our home in Boston. If I could do something in the game, but remain in Boston, I think I'd be very interested.

Hmm, I guess I can't delete my account, then. :-)
Actually would love to write diary entries; I've been reading gstein's and enjoying them. But if I get five minutes to spend as I please, I'm not likely to spend them at a computer, hence, no diary writing for me until other computer-related work calms down a bit. In the meantime, if it's not coding or writing email, then it's playing piano or rehearsing with Golosa, the Chicago-area Russian choir. We're going to have some recordings online real soon now, I mean it.

text: Thanks Ship for keeping us informed. Finally something good coming out of Austin. When I work downtown, I park in public garages that are owned by the building management and my employer cannot prevent me from keeping a weapon in my truck. But they also had another office where you parked on their property and would enforce the no weapons on premises by the occasional search at the gate. The same for working at the refineries on the ship channel that you cannot have a weapon in the parking lot eventhough it is outside the gate of the plant but is still on their own property.

2009 Chinatown Wars coming to iPhone and iPod touch
GTA: Chinatown Wars - General News | @ 09:39 AM MDT | By Neil
Rockstar Games just announced that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be released for iPhone and iPod touch later this year. No screenshots have been released, but the game is being developed by Rockstar Leeds and will be available in the fall.
The game was released for Nintendo DS earlier this year and is currently the console's highest rated game according to Metacritic. A PSP version will arrive at around the same time as the iPhone version.
When released on the App Store, the game will face some competition from similar titles like Payback, Gangstar: West Coast Hustle and Car Jack Streets. GTAGaming covered the latter a few months ago when it was released by Tag Games, a company founded in the same city as DMA Design/Rockstar North.

Duckticourse is the intercourse of ducks, discovered after watching many ducks going at it at the same time. This normally looks like the male is trying to drown the female and results in baby ducklings!
Person 1: Dude, what are those ducks doing? It looks like they're drowning each other!
Person 2: Nah, that's just duckticourse.

Area churches help homeless families
At Nisswa's Lutheran Church of the Cross, volunteers put in around 300 hours in one week to help local families in homelessness get back on their feet.
Lutheran Church of the Cross is one of several area churches participating in the Path to Home, an interfaith partnership coordinated by New Pathways, a program that helps homeless families find permanent, sustainable housing.
Area churches like Lutheran Church of the Cross take turns hosting homeless families for a week at a time. Each church hosts for three or four weeks a year.
Volunteers provide three meals a day and a safe place to stay for families in need, and transportation if it's needed.
Despite the involvement of 21 area churches, there are still gaps in the program's calendar. New Pathways is currently seeking churches to host families.
New Pathways provides cots and mattresses for the families, along with a van, and churches provide bedding, towels, pillows and the like, as well as meals. Each family gets its own room, and volunteers also stay overnight at the church.
Ron Thorson is the volunteer coordinator for Lutheran Church of the Cross. He and five or so volunteers sat and ate dinner with two families the church hosted Thursday night, April 5.
The night before, Thorson and other volunteers had noticed a 10-month-old girl in the program had chilly feet, but she didn't have any shoes.
"Today, she has shoes," Thorson said. There are many stories like this one.
In addition to square meals and a place to stay, volunteers form relationships with the families that New Pathways says are very beneficial to both the families in the program and the families volunteering.
Kathy Carlson, program manager at the Brainerd chapter of New Pathways, said using the network of churches presents some challenges, but the benefits of families connecting with families makes it worth it.
It can be difficult for a struggling family to pack up and move to a new location every week, Carlson said.
"It's a lot to ask (the moving around), but the warmth and hospitality from people in our own community outweighs the challenges," Carlson said. "It opens up the opportunity to get to know people."
The Path to Home does have gaps in schedules where they place the families they're helping at hotels, but Carlson called that situation "less than ideal" compared to staying in a church and connecting with the volunteers there.
Furthermore, Carlson said, "I believe the community benefits from getting to know the families we serve."
This was the case for Lani and Richard Popehn, who run Path to Home at Crosslake Evangelical Free Church in Crosslake (The Log Church).
"The very first time (we volunteered), we happened to meet a family and it was just a single mom and a little girl, and we just fell in love with the family. I think it just touched a part of our hearts and changed us," Lani said.
Lani said she and her husband "live pretty well," and the concept of what homelessness looks like in this regard really hit home.
"It changed the way we view our own lives, the way we view people that are struggling, less fortunate or hitting bumps in their lives," she said.
New Pathways has helped 215 families since 2005, including 288 adults and 397 children. They can house up to 18 people at a time, but Carlson said they have been forced to turn families away.
New Pathways has a 90 percent success rate in getting the families it helps back into permanent, sustainable housing.
In June, New Pathways will hold its annual Tent City fundraiser, which seeks to raise awareness for homelessness. The event will be at the Northland Arboretum in Brainerd and includes games and speakers. For more information, contact New Pathways at 218-454-0460.

While President Obama and the Democrats have talked a lot about protecting the middle class from tax hikes and entitlement cuts in any debt deal that eventually emerges from the fiscal nightmare, it looks increasingly likely that food stamps will come under the knife. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), ranking member of the Senate budget committee, has taken the lead recently in attacking these "gifts" to the poor. Monday night on CNN, Sessions said the food-stamp program—which now serves a record 47 million people—is "out of control" and needs to be cut down to size. But Soledad O'Brien took him to school.

Many right-to-work protest signs wait for protesters to take them before the march to the state capitol in Lansing, Michigan.
The conservative group Americans for Prosperity is enticing supporters to rally at the Michigan state capitol in support of right-to-work legislation with $25 gas cards and free food and drinks, according to a staffer for the organization's Michigan chapter.
AFP's Michigan chapter also used gas cards and free lunches to lure supporters to a lobby day on December 6, the day GOP Gov. Rick Snyder and Republican lawmakers abruptly unveiled their right-to-work bills. Greg George, a government affairs associate with AFP-Michigan, says no one has taken the group up on its most recent gas card offer, but that the offer remains. "We've offered to gladly give them out," he says. (Because it is a nonprofit organization, Americans for Prosperity, which is partially backed by the Koch brothers, does not publicly disclose its donors.)
Despite what its supporters claim, right-to-work legislation does not prevent so-called "forced unionization." That's because forced unionization is a myth: No worker can be forced to become a full-fledged union member. What right-to-work would do is ban unions from collecting dues from nonunion members for representing them with management. After all, nonunion members can benefit from contracts negotiated by unions. Right-to-work allows those nonmembers to receive union representation without paying for it—unions deride those folks "free-riders." The result of right-to-work laws is that unions see their treasuries diminish and membership take a hit.
Michigan's Republican-controlled legislature fast-tracked three pieces of right-to-work legislation last week that would allow nonunion members in workplaces in the public and private sectors to receive representation without paying any dues. The bills would likely deal a killer blow to the state's unions. (Police and firefighters are exempt from the proposals.) Snyder's public support for the legislation signaled a whiplash-worthy turnaround for the governor—he previously said right-to-work was not a priority, and tried to stand apart from the rest of the union-blasting class of 2010 governors like Wisconsin's Scott Walker and Ohio's John Kasich. Snyder is expected to sign the right-to-work legislation as early as Tuesday.
Just as AFP lured supporters to Lansing, unions bussed in members and supporters to protest the right-to-work bills, according to Chris Fleming, a spokesman for the American Federation for State, County, and Municipal Employees. A We Are Michigan spokesman adds that union allies are paying for their own lunches. Thousands of union members and supporters packed into the Michigan state capitol and the surrounding grounds to demand that Snyder veto the right-to-work bills.
AFP wanted the right-to-work fight. The group played a visible role in supporting other GOP governors pushing anti-union agendas in Wisconsin, Ohio, and elsewhere. Now AFP stands on the cusp of a major win in a cradle of organized labor. AFP-Michigan director Scott Hagerstrom said last week that passing right-to-work in the state would be "the shot heard round the world" in the battle against unions. "A victory over forced unionization in a union stronghold like Michigan," Hagerstrom said, "would be an unprecedented win on par with Wisconsin that would pave the way for right to work in states across our nation."

An Afghan National Army trains during an exercise in Herat Province, Feb. 2, 2011.
Does a new draft of an Army manual on cultural sensitivity blame boorish Americans for attacks by Afghan soldiers? That's what the Wall Street Journal suggested Tuesday. The newspaper, which got its hands on a copy of the as-yet unreleased handbook, reports that it advises US troops in Afghanistan to shut up about politics, religion, women, homosexuality, and other potentially divisive issues around locals, lest they stoke the sorts of tensions that lead to "green on blue incidents"—violence against American forces by their ostensible military allies.

The opponents of the Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare) have had a bad year. First, the Supreme Court rejected the major legal challenge to the law in June. Then, ACA opponents' favored presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, who'd pledged to work for repeal as president, lost his bid for the White House. But Obamacare's foes are undaunted. Tea partiers and other conservatives are continuing their Quixotic battle against the law.
Obamacare opponents' latest target is the law's provision for a health insurance "exchange," which will serve as an online marketplace for heavily regulated insurance policies that individuals and small businesses will be able to purchase with federal subsidies. The exchanges are required to be ready for enrollment by October of next year. Yet since Congress passed the ACA in 2010, many states have simply refused to start laying the groundwork needed to create the exchanges, including rejecting millions of dollars of federal planning money to help get them up and running.

Joe Manchin III, the gun-toting Democratic junior senator from West Virginia who loves coal, is waging a one-man war against MTV's upcoming reality show Buckwild.
In case you haven't heard about Buckwild, it's the show that intends to fill the void in your life left when Jersey Shore goes off the air in late December. Buckwild, premiering Thursday January 3, is an unforgiving cavalcade of cultural stereotypes. The easiest way to describe the show is Jersey Shore, but transposed to small-town West Virginia. The series follows a group of thickly-accented young adults as they swear, fight, carouse, and fornicate their early twenties away. Stars include "Justin Beaver," one of the adrenaline-junkie males, and Shae, a blonde and "spicy" Southern belle who is sexually attracted to degenerates. The cast also enjoy shooting things, blowing stuff up, and operating all-terrain motor vehicles with zero regard for logic or safety.

Sen. Manchin isn't pleased with the above representation of his home state. And last Wednesday, he started tweeting about it. He began by addressing a piece posted to a satirical "fake news" website claiming that Manchin had singlehandedly vanquished Buckwild.

My message to MTV is this: One day this could be your kids, and I hope you put a stop to such an inaccurate and despicable portrayal.— Senator Joe Manchin (@Sen_JoeManchin) December 5, 2012
My message to MTV is this: One day this could be your kids, and I hope you put a stop to such an inaccurate and despicable portrayal.
Manchin also wrote a letter on Friday, addressed to MTV president Stephen K. Friedman, requesting the immediate removal of Buckwild from the channel's 2013 lineup:
(MTV has yet to respond to the senator's plea for cancelation.)

DC bureau chief David Corn relives some of the most biting gaffes, memes, and otherwise memorable lines of the election with Chris Matthews on Hardball. Was this the year of binders full of women? Or legitimate rape. Spoiler alert: 47 percent ranks pretty high.

Armchair warriors and Halo heroes, the military would like you to upgrade to Wii Fit now. As the Washington Post's svelte war-zone reporter Ernesto Londoño reported Monday, Uncle Sam's fighting forces are really busy weeding out corpulent corporals:
Under intense pressure to trim its budget, the Army is dismissing a rising number of soldiers who do not meet its fitness standards, drawing from a growing pool of troops grappling with obesity.Obesity is now the leading cause of ineligibility for people who want to join the Army, according to military officials, who see expanding waistlines in the warrior corps as a national security concern.
Under intense pressure to trim its budget, the Army is dismissing a rising number of soldiers who do not meet its fitness standards, drawing from a growing pool of troops grappling with obesity.
Obesity is now the leading cause of ineligibility for people who want to join the Army, according to military officials, who see expanding waistlines in the warrior corps as a national security concern.
Londoño reports that discharges for overweight soldiers have busted through the roof (or, if you prefer, through the floor) in recent years: "During the first 10 months of this year, the Army kicked out 1,625 soldiers for being out of shape, nearly 16 times the number eased out for that reason in 2007, the peak of wartime deployment cycles." (You can find more historical data on Army discharges here.) The Navy, too, is cracking down on physical-test failures, discharging 40 percent more fitness-deficient sailors than in previous years.
Here's the thing, though: This might be good news for the military.

Here's another honor for Mitt Romney: He is responsible for the most notable quote of the year, according to the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations. The failed presidential candidate topped the list with his now very infamous "47 percent" remarks. Fred Shapiro, who compiles the annual list of the most significant utterances from the previous 12 months, selects quotes that "are famous, important or revealing of the spirit of the times, not necessarily ones that are the most eloquent or admirable," Associated Press reported. And Romney, with his 47 percent rant, beat out himself for the No. 1 spot. His "binders full of women" comment placed second on Shapiro's rundown. Below is the full list:

"We know that first-responders are being cut. We know that community police [are] being cut. We know that healthcare services, especially emergency healthcare services, are being cut," Rep. Xavier Becerra (Calif.), head of the House Democratic Caucus, said Tuesday at a press briefing. "Why do we know that? Because we know the sequester ... demand[s] that we make these blind cuts across the board."
"Chances are the mayor in Boston is now having to figure out how to cover for the extra costs involved in having so many people out there, for security, for emergency medical assistance," Becerra said. "He's probably now had to supplant money from some other part of his budget. Whether it's community police, whether it's a vaccine for kids provided through the city, they've got to pay for it."
"It's important for Congress to understand that monies that are sent for the purpose of homeland security need to be done on a judgment basis as to where the threat is highest," Crowley said. "A city like New York, Los Angeles, Boston — in this particular case, on Patriots' Day, on one of the most watched marathons in the world — the resources need to be there."

they don't like it, guess they shouldn't have voted for it.
Facts suck for their agenda.
guess they shouldn't have voted for it.
You knew there would be a rush to fit this into everyone's agenda: Half the TD board blamed Obama and and half blamed the Sequester, Iraqis, the IRA, Tax Dodgers, tea Partiers, Yankee fans, Saban, Gun control activists, pro gun people and the band played on.
I blame the Klan because they are mad that East Africans always win the Marathons. Just as dumb as anything else.
And i guess Obama shouldn't have proposed it. The liberals are fricking stupid with this one. They are politicizing and demonizing the very thing they proposed and voted on, and are trying to blame it on the GOP. This shows the mental illness of the left.

Here's a question for all of you. I looked at several different plans when building my solar wax melters. Most plans had subtle differences and I just picked all the designs I liked from them and built four of them. However one thing that was the same with all of them was the interior paint color, white. I can understand why you would paint the outside black, but why not paint the inside a dark color as well, wouldn't you get more heat if the inside were dark? I went with white for fear that the bee police would find me, but has anyone risked it all and painted their wax melter interior a dark color?

Discussion in 'BUILD OFF 2 BIKES' started by xddorox, Sep 15, 2007.
That pinstripping is AMAZING!!!!! nice work!
Whoa...very cool!!!!
It's not perfect, but considering that I don't do this often and that I am working with a very small non-flat surface, I'm pretty happy with it.
XD- Nice start!!!! the stripes look great on the old finish.
looks great,
youve been busy !!! looks great :shock:
Sweet! I hope to see an article about pinstriping on your blog soon!
Wow! Very nice pinstriping, Gerry!!
And I love the chainring...
very nice work
I love the look that you are achieving with your ratrod, should turn out very nice.
Hey Gerry you are getting good at this! looks great man!
Wow that looks great. I have seen a lot of old CCM ladies bikes and none are as nice as that looks now. Can't wait to see it finished.
Very Cool!!! Lookin GREAT!
Thanks for the comments guys. My goal is to achieve a "Victorian" type of look, hence the design chosen for the pinstripes. Kustom type stripes would not have worked with this theme. I have to stick with sharp and not too curvy lines. I was lucky to still have some Ivory color One Shot left. White stripes would have stood out too much. I promise an article on this in the build blog of this bike. Start saving road kill squirrel tails if you want to make your own brushes :mrgreen:
Gerry, that's one classy lady you got there!
Yeah, but at heart she's a tramp :mrgreen:
That pinstriping looks pretty good to me. I like the whole look going on too.
I belive that you were a firefighter. I'm an EMT and you've got to be a bit off your rocker to do either.
"Where I come from, there are no cool squirrels like the ones you guys find at the dump. No squirrels, no gophers, no weasels, nothing."
Started on the front wheel today. I rebuilt the front hub with some help from a steel brush, steel wool, Kiwi rag and Mother's. I first wanted to rebuild the front hub out of principle since I wanted to keep as much of the original bike as possible. Now I'm real happy I did. This hub amazed me from the moment I opened it. I was expecting ball bearings to remind me about the law of gravity, but they actually sat in a crown. It was also cool to find "CCM" stamped on just about everything, from the axle to the bearing cone. One cone has some pitting in the race, but the rest looks good. I bought some paint, but I have to go back since they are completely off for the color match. I want the rims painted the same color as the frame.
Built the front wheel this evening after trying 3 times to get the right matching color. Bought 2 Tioga City Slickers, but I'll have to return one to get a 26 X 1.5 instead of the 26 X 1.95 for the front. Not enough clearance in the fork, the frame is ok however. Spendometer went from $0 to $60 in a flash!
Next to the old wheel, I think I made the right choice
Mock up of the rear just to check clearance, I'm good there.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Symantec, a global leader in security, backup and availability solutions, has appointed Stephen Gillett as its EVP and COO.
Gillett will report to Steve Bennett, chairman and CEO, effective Friday, December 21. Prior to joining Symantec, Gillett was EVP and president of Best Buy digital, global marketing and strategy. Gillett has been a member of Symantec's board of directors since January 2012 but will step down effective immediately. At Symantec, Gillett's initial responsibilities will include marketing, communications and the IT function.
At Best Buy, Gillett was responsible for the company's digital, e-commerce, marketing, information technology, customer insights, enterprise strategy, corporate development, new business ventures, enterprise customer care and channel design. Prior to joining Best Buy, Gillett was CIO and EVP of digital ventures at Starbucks. Prior to Starbucks Stephen held executive roles at Corbis, Yahoo and CNET.
"Stephen is the perfect fit for the direction we are taking Symantec," said Bennett. "He has been deeply involved in the transformation of a number of high profile companies at the executive level and is highly respected in the CIO community worldwide. Stephen's appointment will ensure that Symantec is well-positioned for addressing our consumer and business customers' needs. He will have an immediate impact due to his familiarity with the company from his tenure on the board. His arrival is timely as we continue to finalize our strategic direction and operational plan to be announced in late January."
"Great companies are defined by their market position, customer base, brand awareness, the quality of their products and by the type of industry they're involved in," said Gillett. "Symantec is strong in all of these areas. I look forward to working with everyone at Symantec to help the company achieve its full potential."
Gillett will operate out of Symantec's world headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. He holds a bachelor of science from the University of Oregon and an MBA from San Francisco State University.

Road Trip! Wisconsin Vacation Ideas on a Tank (or Less!)
Last Updated: 2/26/2013
The road trip is an American classic. Think about it: the windows are open and the tunes are cranked. The wind is teasing your hair.
What's better on a summer afternoon?
How about cruising to your destination on a single tank of gas?! If you need a getaway, try a trip that's only a few hours away. We've crunched the mileage and provided multiple trips that are perfect for a weekend getaway.
Chicago to Kewaunee ( < 200 miles) – For our Chi-town friends, you're one cruise away from one of Wisconsin's best-kept secrets, Kewaunee. The only logical route to this lakeside community has you going through Kenosha, which happens to be home to the famous Mars Cheese Castle. So you might as well stop on by for some Wisconsin cheddar and a craft beer.
Head further north and you'll hit the quiet, picturesque town of Kewaunee. Take a stroll through the Marquette Historic District and see houses featuring everything from Queen Anne to Prairie architecture. Go hiking or biking on Wisconsin's "thumb" on the scenic Ahnapee State Trail. The freighters and fishing boats along Lake Michigan's rocky shore provide some great photo opps!
Minneapolis to La Crosse ( < 160 miles) – La Crosse is a haven located off I-90. Make your first stop Grandad Bluff. Located 600 feet above the city, the park offers views of Minnesota and Iowa, as well as Wisconsin. Play a round of golf at public courses Forest Hills and Fox Hollow, and later on admire wildlife at Myrick Hixon Ecopark, a popular spot for bird watching. Enjoy a relaxing dinner and drink at the Waterfront Restaurant and Tavern, and an evening of bar- and club-hopping in vibrant downtown La Crosse.
Cedar Rapids to Racine ( < 250 miles) – Racine boasts one of the best beaches in the Midwest, as well as the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed SC Johnson Wax Administrative Building, a must-see for architecture buffs. For an uninterrupted view of the lakefront, climb up the Wind Point Lighthouse, which is open for tours on the first Sunday of the month in June through October. Art lovers can enjoy the Racine Art Museum's renowned collection of contemporary crafts, and nearby galleries on Main and Sixth streets. Before hitting the road again, pick up a sweet kringle at O&H Danish Bakery, a Racine specialty.
Have any annual road trips you go on? We'd love to hear about them in the comments below.This entry was posted in Trip Planner

I am Josh, in Brunswick Maine. I make maple syrup as a hobby, and so many darn people I syrup with are into bees. The problem is none of them are close. I know nothing about keeping bees but willing to learn just as I did maple syrup.
Im here to read, and connect with people in my area...maybe even trade some syrup for some honey or bee instruction
I have a wife and 2 dogs, when not thinking about syrup or working I like to hunt, fish, spend time with the family. Just a normal guy


text: I know that there are thousands of swarms more than traps set and I am doing my best to change those statistics. The cutout calls will start flooding in any time now. The local bee club has just again imported a hundred or more packages and hived them in their tiny topbar hives or 8 frame doubles with no honey supers.....looking gleefully forward to next year or even later this season. Like Charlie I should become club president so that I too have the mailing list addresses. Smart guy Trapper Charlie.

Hmmm... Now that's interesting!
So, with a Romy RPK trunion, I'm wondering how that would work attaching the trunion when the receiver is wider on the 47ES than the regular 47??? Would I need 'shims' or something to fill the gap?
Hmmm... Most interesting. What thickness(es) of Flat Bar are you using?
Hmmm... I'm guessing if done with a screw build format like this, you could probably later go through & rivet the whole thing together, right?
I'm most anxiously awaiting the build thread on this! The sooner the better! :)


text: Just bought a 97 Blazer fixer upper for a "bang around" vehicle to use for camping, kayaking, scuba diving, etc. This truck needs a lot of work so I'm glad I found this forum. It seems I may have a rare all-wheel-drive Blazer. Dont' know if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet. Thought I was buying a push-button 4-wheel drive with a missing dash controller. There's a hole in the dash where the controller would go but no controller and no harness. I took the dash apart looking for the harness and never found it. I found a link at this site for looking up GM RPO codes and from what I can tell I have the AWD system. Code NP3 is all wheel drive transfer case and F46 is all wheel drive. As I read the codes NP1 is full range electric, NP2 is manual, NP8 is 2 speed push button control. So, I have a big project ahead of me and I hope this forum will be helpful. And, who knows, maybe I'll be able to help others as I plod along busting knuckles, screwing things up, and learning as I go.

The event will feature live performances by local bands The Royal Kustoms and The Conflict. Community agencies will be on hand to provide information on HIV prevention and sexual health, and Costco will provide beverages.
Testing will be provided by the Metro Health and Community Clinic. Testing is by a simple finger-prick method with results available in approximately 20 minutes.
In 2004, 505 individuals in Bexar County were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, an increase of 32 percent in one year. Almost half of those with HIV become infected before age 25, and at least one-fourth of those who are HIV positive do not know it.
This year marks the 13th annual observance of National HIV Testing Day when at-risk individuals are encouraged to receive voluntary HIV counseling and testing. The UTSA SHADES program is dedicated to providing information about health, alcohol and drug issues facing college students to enable them to make educated choices.

Hi all,
Im a beekeeper for 3 years and got stung from time to time (Maybe 2-4 stings per month).
Today i checked my 26 hives and in the middle of the work i got stung in my leg.
I didnt stop working of course but after 20 minutes i became little bit weak, my eyes was wet, i had runny nose,
feeling also my throat like infected (dry and hard swallow) and my eyelashes got swelled
I was afraid that this is the start for an alergic reaction and drove home immediatly
because i forgot my Epipen injector there.
After 3 hours i still have these symptoms except of runny nose and wet eyes.
I will go to the Doc next week but would like to ask if anybody had a similar
situation ?
Randi, Israel

PA National Stays Alive in 11-12 All-Star Play
Original post made by Theresa, Crescent Park, on Jul 14, 2007
The first two innings featured solid pitching and sparkling defense on both sides, but the 0-0 tie was broken by Owen Lewis in the top of the 3rd when he drove a fastball over the left field fence, bringing in two of his teammates to make the score 3-0 for the Nationals.
Later in the game, David Oyer also homered with 2 on. Peter Verheecke pitched two innings, giving up a solo homer, then Oyer pitched the 5th and part of the 6th for the National squad, also surrendering a solo homer to the Americans.
Alec Wong finished the game for the Nationals on the mound, moving in from his usual spot at shortstop, where he turned in another game of brilliant defense.
Clay Carey had a home run stolen in the top of the 5th, thanks to great play made by American's right fielder, E Johnson, who leaped and reached over the fence to grab Carey's hard-hit line drive.
PA National plays Sunday at 11AM against San Carlos, who upset San Mateo National 5-0 in the other consolation bracket game Saturday morning.

How does the pitching look for Palo Alto National?
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jul 15, 2007 at 8:50 am
John, one thing PAN has on its roster is good pitching. We counted yesterday and there are 6 pitchers eligible, including Nick Wells, Clay Carey, Alec Wong and David Oyer, who have all pitched very well in this tournament.
In tournament play, the pitching rules get interesting. If a pitcher throws 20 or fewer pitches, he is eligible to pitch the next day. If he throws more than 20 but fewer than 45, he has to take one day off, but can pitch the following day.
This kind of math is necessary when they're facing the possibility of playing 4 games against tough teams in 4 days. To win this tournament, PAN has to beat San Carlos today, then defeat Hillsborough twice on Monday and Tuesday.
San Carlos played Friday (beating Alpine 4-3) and Saturday (5-1 over SMN -- my earlier posts about the score being 5-0 were wrong but I can't edit them); it will be interesting to see what their pitching situation looks like.

1222: Pastime
Title text: Good thing we're too smart to spend all day being uselessly frustrated with ourselves. I mean, that'd be a hell of a waste, right?
[edit] Explanation
When asked by Megan what he's been up to, Cueball responds with the (warning: TV Tropes link) suspiciously specific denial, "Definitely not spending every day consumed with worry over stupid things I never talk to anyone about.", which suggests that that is exactly what he's been spending every day doing, but he is hiding it from her and everyone else. Megan's response "Oh, yeah, me neither" suggests she too is worrying over stupid things but isn't admitting it.
Instead of discussing their mutual worry and possibly making each other feel better, they instead continue to "not talk to anyone about it" and stand in awkward silence.
The title text continues the irony suggesting it's good that they're too smart to spend all day being uselessly frustrated with themselves, but that's apparently exactly what they are doing.
This could also be a reference to the common response to the question Megan asks in the first panel, "nothing", a response that is almost certainly false, and usually means the same thing that Cueball said, but is usually accepted, if not expected.
[edit] Transcript
- [Megan and Cueball are chatting. She has hair.]
- Megan: What've you been up to?
- Cueball: Definitely not spending every day consumed with worry over stupid things I never talk to anyone about.
- Megan: Oh, yeah, me neither.
- Cueball: That's good.
- Megan: Yeah.
- [The final panel is silent.]

Total waste. There are 168 hours in a week, and some people get things done in only four. 22.214.171.124 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- To be fair, most people are forced to spend 40 hours a week by not getting things done just so they earn some money for food. Also, you don't exactly get things done while you sleep, but you will not get anything done if you don't sleep enough either. -- Hkmaly (talk) 08:34, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi All-
So here's the layout:
I have three hives -
One of which is huge and healthy and in it's third year.
The other two are new hives and new colonies this year.
One of them, I put in a package of bees at the very end of April and they have done a gangbuster job setting up shop, with lots of comb built out
and lots of new brood. Many many bees and more coming. Capped honey, too.
The other one of the "new" hives has a small swarm that I put in that was taken out of a home.
It was pretty small in size and though I tied up some of the capped, but most likely killed in transit brood comb, and honey comb, it was a mess, truth be told, by the time I finished up in there. Happily, for me and them (I don't like messes much myself), they swarmed less than a week later and I cleaned up the hive and put them back in. They are small, but making comb and doing their thing.
Then, about a week ago, I had a swarm that unmistakably came from the package bee colony. Though I had just done an inspection and saw no queen cells and they had plenty of room, they swarmed nonetheless. A very small swarm, in fact. What I decided to do was put that small swarm into the other "new" hive that had the small house swarm.
Interestingly, and maybe noteworthy, was the fact that the hive that swarmed last week, the one that has been going gangbusters but still had room and showed no queen cells was not only the one that swarmed, but when I opened up the roof right after the swarm, there was a peach size cluster of bees clustering around the brood section of the hive. The other perhaps noteworthy event was the day before the swarm I noticed a lot of drones flying high, so I was thinking the queen was getting fertilized.
Today, a week later, and to be clear, a week after I put bees in the hive from the house that was small, I came home and peppered throughout a plant is small fist sized clusters of bees, perhaps four or five of them hiding out in some perennials.
So, what the heck is going on??? I am thinking of sitting out an empty box and letting them go where they want - in the box or back into one of the hives. What are folks thoughts on what might be happening? Would love some brainstorming! Thanks!!

High-protein feeding not only produces fast growth but vigor that lasts a lifetime.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
Utah veterinarian and dairy consultant Bob Corbett (pictured) doesn't look like a rabble-rouser, but he's a real militant when it comes to blowing up long-held ideas about feeding calves and heifers. Here are a few that he smashed in his presentation yesterday at the 7th annual Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council annual meeting in Sacramento, Calif., which concludes today.
1. Calves that don't receive timely adequate and quality colostrum grow one-third slower than calves which do.
2. Calf and heifer feeding that focuses on least cost rather than maximum growth are the most expensive in the long run.
3. Anything done to increase the amount of protein and energy consumed by milk-fed calves will increase growth rate and significantly improve its health and productivity.
4. Excellent nutrition maximizes immune response from vaccines. Their failure is almost always related to nutrition-related deficiencies in the animal.
5. Calves should be weaned according to dry matter intake, not age, and should not be forced to be weaned by reducing or removing milk.
6. Aggressive feeding of calves must be backed up by aggressive feeding of heifers, including rations formulated for them.
7. Heifers treated for pneumonia more than once in their lives should be culled.
8. Heifers should be bred according to height 51 inches at the withers for Holsteins and 44 inches for Jerseys rather than age.
9. Considerable information is available for formulating calf and heifer rations that will allow heifers to reach maximum frame size and calve at 20 months of age.
10. Well-fed, fast-growing heifers are more resistant to disease, have lower mortality, and require less medicine. They also produce about 1,700 pounds more milk during their first lactation than conventionally raised animals calving at older than two years.
Want to make an extra $60 per heifer? In this webinar, John Lee, D.V.M., Pfizer Animal Health, leads an interactive discussion on getting more out of your heifer investment. With high input costs there is less room for error when breeding replacement heifers. Lee shares his thoughts on the best metrics to use when evaluating a heifer reproduction program. While common measurements are conception rate and percentage of heifers pregnant within three services, he will tell you about measurements that give you a better idea of what's really going on with your heifer reproduction program. Learn about efficiencies in heifer reproduction from a Hoard's Dairyman webinar, "Shrinking the freshening window for replacement heifers," live on Monday, November 19, 2012, at noon (Central time).
This is a special reproduction webinar, so those wishing to participate, must register at Go To Meeting. Registration in the monthly Hoard's Dairyman webinars will not automatically carry over to this special webinar.

Richard Clarke,
counterterrorism expert under four presidents—three of them Republican—created a furor in Washington with his unflinching criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the war on terror. On 60 Minutes Clarke said Bush did a "terrible job on the war against terrorism." In his book, Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror, released in March, Clarke said President Bush demanded Clarke find a link between the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and Saddam Hussein—a link Clarke insists never existed. In addition, Clarke said that throughout 2001, Bush's inner circle failed to heed his warnings of an imminent terrorist attack. Instead, Clarke said, all eyes were focused on Iraq. After the book's release, Bush's team quickly shifted into damage-control mode, attempting to discredit Clarke. In his testimony before the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Clarke apologized to victims' families, saying, "Your government failed you. Those you entrusted with protecting you failed you. And I failed you."


text: Anyone running these? I am scheduled to have a set installed tomorrow. I currently have terra grapplers and I loved them at first but they wore quicker than I expected(less than 30k). I had settled on trail grapplers but no one can get them in a timely manner around here. Also considered the Fierce MT but they looked like they would be loud as hell. The tire guy said they had installed alot these and alot of people liked them. I'm a little nervous as I usually research the hell out of everything I buy and I kinda just jumped at these. Price is 210 apiece installed. Much cheaper than most of the mud tires I was looking at. I think for the type of driving I do I really need an AT and not a MT but I was kind of going for the aggresive look. I hope I'm not the guinea pig!

The opaque white PTFE sphere has a ground finish and a standard tolerance. Polypropylene (PP) is a strong, lightweight plastic with a hard, smooth surface that is suitable for use where bacterial buildup could be a factor. Typically stronger, more rigid, and more resistant to higher temperatures than polyethylene, polypropylene also has good resistance to chemicals and solvents.
Plastic refers to a group of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that have been engineered to achieve specific properties. The most notable characteristics of plastics are its low weight, machinability, corrosion resistance, and typically good thermal and electrical insulating properties. Certain plastic grades also offer optical transparency similar to glass, low-friction or self-lubricating surfaces, and exceptional impact resistance. Depending on their properties, certain plastic grades can be used as alternatives to metal, glass, and ceramic. Unlike metal, plastic may experience creep, which is deformation caused by longtime exposure to a constant load.
Tensile strength, used to indicate the material's overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. Wear resistance indicates the ability to prevent surface damage caused by contact with other surfaces. Toughness describes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Impact resistance is the measure of a material's ability to absorb a shock of energy before breaking.

I hope this dude can be our Kam Chancellor.
So what happens to Tyler Sash?
10 lbs of muscle and this guy can be a LB. I like this pick.
He is a nice player and good pick for the round but comparing a decent player on Richmond vs defensive star at LSU based on the underwear olympics is really silly. Reid and Vaccarro are the only two safeties this year that are true center fielders which is probably the most important trait a FS can have.
Im not worried about his speed. As a freshman at G-Tech he was running 4.3 at 185 lbs. Not as fast now with the extra weight but the dude can still fly.
A couple of things probably put him low in teams' minds....his Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome(high heart rate, syncope, shortness of breath, etc.) and he came from a small school after transfering from Georgia Tech. Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome is usually treated by cardioversion(or shocking the heart into beating in a certain rythym)...actually looking at cardioversions right now at work coincidentally.
Nice quick read on the guy:
