My favorite town! And Belem is perfect to explore it. The appartement is very nice with the park and the restaurants in front of. It is no problem to get into the center of Lissabon (app. 15 minutes by tram) . The flat is well equipped and the owners are making a really effort to give you a nice holiday. But we had to wait a lot of time and needed 4 telefon calls, to meet them after our arrival . Than we have had some problems with the WiFi and it took some time to solve the problem (and we really need it for work). Furthermore we asked for a babycot - no problem, but without any bedding. And the flat was not the cleanest one (food under the sofa, dirty dishes and oven) We told that after the holiday, but we didn't get any answer. :(
Altogether I would go there once again - with little reductions of our expectations.....
Very nice apartment, fully equipped with kitchen, dish washer, washing machine, 2 bedrooms,...
Perfect location - very close the cathedral San Se.
On the ground floor is a small bar, very good for a final beer or something to eat.
Very good, reliable service from the team.
Thank you very much!!!
The flat is very well located, new and comfortable. It has wonderful views and it is very well equipped.
By the other hand we had some issues inside. There was an unpleasant smell of drains all the time and a leak occurer in a bedroom due to rain. The water soaked two beds :(
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice house close to city centre. Need more warmers at wintertime
What a fantastic apartment! Wonderful location, incredibly friendly & helpful introduction to Lisbon upon arrival, very clean and well equipped, and beautiful views across the river and city! Everything is within easy walking distance, and Lisbon is super authentic. The small bar on the ground floor is a gem...we can't wait to come back!! Thank you very much to our hosts!
Apartment very well placed to visit Lisbon.
Great neighborhood.
The terrace is actually a large balcony which is still well appreciated.
Some stemware (5 to 8 people) and a second sofa for everyone to sit would be really good.
Appartement très bien placé pour visiter Lisbonne.
Quartier génial.
La terrasse est en fait un grand balcon qui est quand même bien appréciable.
Quelques verres à pied en plus (5 pour 8 pers ) et un 2ème canapé permettant à tout le monde de s'assoir seraient vraiment bien.
The apartment is quite spacious, comfortable, well equipped and modern decor.
It has a great location next to Los Jeronimos, and opposite the park. Well connected.
Marta greeted us very friendly and lots of information about Lisbon.
It's great to have access in the apartment.
It is above the restaurants, making it among smell of food in the apartment.
They should review the master bathroom cistern that loses water and is noisy and the door of one of the bedrooms that do not close properly.
Sheets on one of the beds, washed but with unsightly stains, the rest of the apartment was clean.
It is a third party without elevator.
We were comfortable, but there are small details that can improve.
El apartamento es bastante amplio, cómodo, bien equipado y con moderna decoración.
Tiene una excelente ubicación junto a Los Jerónimos, y frente al parque. Bien comunicado.
Nos recibió Marta, muy amable y con muchísima información sobre Lisboa.
Es estupendo disponer de Wifi en el apartamento.
Está encima de los restaurantes, lo que hace que entre olor a comida en el apartamento.
Deberían de revisar la cisterna del baño principal que pierde agua y hace mucho ruido, así como la puerta de uno de los dormitorios que no cierra bien.
Sábanas de una de las camas, lavadas pero con manchas desagradables, el resto del apartamento estaba limpio.
Es un tercero sin ascensor.
Estuvimos a gusto, pero hay pequeños detalles que hay que se pueden mejorar.
The house in the old center of Lisbon was very individual and schön.allerdings we had 10 people for a coffee for two and 7 tassen.alle cutter stumpf.in kitchen and upper bedroom were living ants (in bed) .Unfortunately was the shower curtain in the basement verschimmelt.ansonsten everything was fine and the location of the house is great.
Das haus im alten kern von lissabon war sehr individuell und schön.allerdings hatten wir für 10 leute eine Kaffeemaschine für zwei personen und 7 tassen.alle schneidemesser waren stumpf.in küche und oberem schlafraum lebten ameisen (auch im Bett).leider war der duschvorhang im untergeschoss verschimmelt.ansonsten war alles prima und die lage des hauses ist grossartig.

Great flat, much room, nice style, real friendly host and many information for our trips.
We really enjoyed our holiday.
Peter and Eunice
Gianpiero has been very nice with us. The apartment was clean and equipped.
The neighborhood is not advisable to visit with children, overcoat in the night.
Thank you very much.
A lovely apartment, with everything we needed for our long weekend. Close to metro and a good selection of local amenities. Friendly and helpful host. Would stay again :)
Gianpiero Its a great owner, he has everything at home that you need to feel Confortable, The district is a bit far away of The center but you can take public transport close. For me have been really great time at Mian in his home.
Thanks to put in My hands all your staff.Regards
The flat was more than what we expected, it was in a creat local location. We found the flat clean throughout, with light and airy bedroom, setting room and bathroom.
Lots of storage within the bedroom and we both had many great night sleeps on the bed. The kitchen was small, though had all what we needed.
Great host, would recommend staying there and would return at some point.
Thanks Gp
Pulitissimo, posizione ottima a pochi passi dalla metro e circondato da alimentari, supermercati e tantissimo altro! Proprietario super gentile e disponibile. Per il prossimo soggiorno a Milano ritornerò qui sicuramente !
Appartement conforme à la description.
Propre, bien équipé et bien situé, dans un quartier populaire.
L'isolation de la chambre à améliorer car la rue est bruyante.
Nous avons passé un bon séjour ! Je recommande :-)
L'appartamento è davvero bello, grande, e pulito, con bagno molto spazioso (fornito di asciugamani), cucina equipaggiata (c'era pure la macchinetta del caffe, microonde) e letto matrimoniale davvero comodo. Le foto rispecchiano la realtà.
Anche la posizione direi che è ottima perchè è a due passi da Piazzale Loreto e Corso Buenos Aires e si possono raggiungere rapidamente a piedi le fermate della metro (sia la linea verde che la linea rossa). La zona non è sicuramente la più tranquilla di Milano ma basta stare un po attenti. Vicino si trova anche un supermercato, bar/gelateria, panificio.
Gianpiero è stato molto gentile, premuroso e molto disponibile anche sugli orari di check-in/check-out.

I'm late hearing about this terrible and blatantly racist article. It's written as a response to recent articles about "the talk" that black parents have with their kids, especially Black Boys, in light of the Trayvon Martin murder. Clutch summed it up very well…
"National Review's John Derbyshire says there is a talk that non-black Americans have with their children about race too. Derbyshire wrote about this in his post The Talk: Non-Black Version where he describes the racist views that he has instilled in his own children.
The outrageous content of his blog has many calling for him to be fired.
Here are 9 points he shares that every White parent should tell their children:
- Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.
- Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.
- If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).
- Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.
- If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.
- Do not settle in a district or municipality run by black politicians.
- Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.
- Do not act the Good Samaritan to blacks in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway.
- If accosted by a strange black in the street, smile and say something polite but keep moving."
In my opinion, the most horrible point he makes in the article is…
(11) The mean intelligence of blacks is much lower than for whites. The least intelligent ten percent of whites have IQs below 81; forty percent of blacks have IQs that low. Only one black in six is more intelligent than the average white; five whites out of six are more intelligent than the average black. These differences show in every test of general cognitive ability that anyone, of any race or nationality, has yet been able to devise. They are reflected in countless everyday situations. "Life is an IQ test."
It's ridiculous. To talk about IQs in this way makes him sound like a 1920s eugenicist. It's Asinine. Big word for a black person. Yeah, I know. If I was crazy enough to really entertain some hard facts and numbers from this writer, they would have tp come paired with empirical research on the impact of institutional racism, failing schools, low expectations, etc. He states this point like it's a fact. For the link "in every test" he links to his own website like he is a scholar on the subject. The URL has Opinion in the string (http://www.johnderbyshire.com/Opinions/HumanSciences/upennlaw.html#gaps) because it's just that. His personal racist opinion. No one should take this writer seriously.
Anyway, this is the most racist thing I've seen…today.
Note: "Derbyshire's editor at the conservative publication National Review, Rich Lowry, described the piece as "appalling."[17] On April 7, Lowry announced that Derbyshire had been dismissed from National Review: "We never would have published it, but the main reason that people noticed it is that it is by a National Review writer. Derb is effectively using our name to get more oxygen for views with which we'd never associate ourselves otherwise. So there has to be a parting of the ways."[18]" – source

Good Morning everyone!
I am a "brand new" wannabe beekeeper. I have done some research, but I have not purchased any equipment yet, because honestly I am so confused with all the information out there! I kept coming to this forum on my internet searching, so it seems this is pretty popular. Hopefully I can get some answers to often mentioned problems, but hardly any solutions.
I have never dealt with any kind of bee hive. I don't think bees really bother me, as I had a lot of plants last summer that they loved and I was fine with that. However, I also know there is a big difference between letting them fly and actually messing with their hive.
I knew an old neighbor who had a beehive, and thought that was pretty cool. I want to get into beekeeping because of the bee population issues, to better my garden and the local area, the honey (I'd be lying if that wasn't a motivating factor), and because I really think it would be a neat thing to do.
So hello everyone!

Backyard beekeeper with two hive that survived the winter.
One of the hive is doing fine, two full mediums and I just added a third medium for them.
The other one lives in 3 medium, but only occupies about 2 frames in the middle medium box.
I have given the weak hive a grease patty, but I can feed sugar water because most nights are below 40.
Since the hive are right next to each other, I was wondering if I should try to switch their location? Maybe that would drive some of the bees from the strong hive, to the weak hive and that way improve the weak hive?
Any thoughts or suggestions? BTW main flow just started for me. I'm in SF Bay Area Cal.

Releasing an album called Girl Songs on Valentine's Day could be seen as a gimmick - especially when notorious prankster Tom Scott is involved. But as the Home Brew chief proved with last year's No1 double album, he has a midas touch that supersedes his hijinks. That continues with @Peace, a five-piece side-project that shows off a classier, more serious side to Scott's otherwise confrontational attitude. Don't be fooled by the title of this 10-track EP - as the super-explicit Cake shows, these are not songs for girls.
Mostly, the follow-up to 2011's excellent self-titled debut examines a failed relationship from a male perspective - or as Scott puts it on the cruisy jazz of Cats Like Fish: "Broken hearts everywhere, blood all over your hands." The laid-back vibes and summery soundscapes employed here are disarming - there's an incisive vision full of real emotion behind these songs. Check out Scott's "I miss you" call after his blistering verse on the woozy standout Days Like This, fellow MC Lui Tuiasau's emotional verse on Flowers, detailing the angst caused by an unanswered text message, and 2 Die 4's relentless bass and furiously unhinged apology to a spurned lover.
Okay, it won't soundtrack your next date night, but Girl Songs proves guys have hearts, too - and they're not afraid to show it.

Doggie Donation
Our local animal shelters are extremely grateful if you donate 10 pounds of dog food or a couple of old blankets to help them out.
Imagine getting a donation of 10,000 pounds of dog food plus a visit from one of the hottest country music groups in the nation. We visited with The Band Perry as they presented their generous donation.
The bright new faces of country music, The Band Perry, along with their generous donation of 10,000 pounds of Purina dog food, came to the Greeneville-Greene County Humane Society Animal Shelter today.
"It's amazing, we love to play music but we also are really feeling an overwhelming responsibility with the platform that music allows us to have. So, we felt like this was one was we could give back and partner with such great folks like Purina," said singer Kimberly Perry.
Those benefiting are scattered throughout the shelter. What you see when you visit is a private facility, no county money, no state funding all provided by donations. "All of our funding is private, we're totally privately funded, fund raisers etcetera, financial gifts, the support like the fantastic support we received from Purina and The Band Perry," says board member Todd DeHaven.
"It amazing. We were so thrilled when we found out that we were going to receive that amount of food but it'll feed out dogs for at least a year," added shelter manager Amy Bowman. And they can count on the Academy of Country Music award-winning group to continue to help. Although constantly on the road with their success, they still call Greeneville home.
"We're only home for usually like 24 hour stretches of that so we always go home, do our laundry and maybe go get some Mexican food before we head out again," said band member Reid Perry. "Cause we are gone so much, many things on the road change, there's not a lot of consistency on the road. That's the one thing we about Greeneville, it's always the same, people are the same, always nice, just like a breath of fresh air coming home," adds brother Neil Perry.
And besides their four dogs at home, there are plenty more that will welcome them back anytime.
Next Wednesday The Band Perry will perform during the 10 a.m. hour of NBC's Today Show and help announce the nominees for the CMT Music Awards for 2011.

New London — Despite assurances in June from Lesley University that Terrence P. Carter had completed the requirements for a doctoral degree in educational studies, the university said Monday that Carter did not receive the degree as expected.
Carter, the Chicago educator whose selection as superintendent of New London Public Schools has been clouded by allegations of plagiarism and academic misrepresentation, "does not have a degree from Lesley," university spokesman John Sullivan said in an email shortly after noon Monday.
The Cambridge, Mass., university did not release any information on the change, nor did it say whether the decision is final.
Before the school board chose Carter as the city's next superintendent in June, members saw a letter to the state Board of Education from the chairman of his Ph.D. committee saying he had successfully completed his studies and defended his dissertation and would earn a doctorate in educational studies with a specialization in adult learning and development.
"His Ph.D. degree will be officially awarded on Lesley University's next degree conferral date, August 25, 2014," Terrence J. Keeney, a Lesley professor who was Carter's senior adviser and chairman of the committee, wrote in a June 10 letter to the state Department of Education.
Though Lesley University awarded degrees to other doctoral students Monday, Carter was not one of them.
Sullivan said he could only confirm that Carter does not have a degree from the school, but did not say whether Carter could receive the degree at a later date.
Carter's dissertation, which Keeney said Carter successfully defended on May 28, was titled "Driving Value within a Changing Network of Schools through Learning and Development: The Use of a 360° Feedback Tool to Drive Change and Bring Value in Public Education."
Sullivan declined to comment on whether there had been a change in the acceptance of Carter's dissertation.
Carter did not respond to a phone call and email seeking comment Monday afternoon.
Board of Education President Margaret Mary Curtin did not return a phone call seeking comment Monday afternoon.
State-appointed Special Master Steven J. Adamowski declined to comment but said he is "not sure at this point it is even terribly relevant."
Carter's appointment as the city's superintendent of schools has been on hold for more than a month as the Board of Education waits for the results of an investigation into his academic credentials and financial background.
On June 12, the Board of Education unanimously appointed Carter as the city's next superintendent. He was to take the reins of the school system Aug. 1.
But in July, the board chose to refrain from ratifying Carter's contract after news reports indicated that he had misrepresented himself — or allowed others to misrepresent him — as having a doctorate for more than five years before he completed his doctoral studies and that he had twice filed for personal bankruptcy.
Later, The Day reported that at least 10 paragraphs of Carter's application for the superintendent job in New London, and large portions of his cover letter, contained material apparently copied from other sources without attribution.
The state Department of Education last month asked Carter to withdraw himself from consideration for the New London job, a request the department still stands by, department spokeswoman Kelly Donnelly said Monday.
The state also froze Carter's application to become a certified superintendent and will review it again after the city's Board of Education completes its investigation.
"At the point in time when the board completes its investigation, all factors will be taken into consideration regarding his application," Donnelly said Monday.
The board's investigation is on track to be completed this week, the board's attorney said last week. The Board of Education is scheduled to meet Thursday evening, though an agenda for the meeting has not yet been posted.

I spend a lot of time at a computer screen, and it's not a large one. I work on a MacBook Air so I'm staring at a smallish screen during the day and for a large part of the evening when I do the bulk of my work. Eye fatigue was becoming an issue, so when Gunnar offered to send me a pair of their new Joule computer eyewear I jumped at the chance. But, would they actually work?
As hopeful as I was that these would help, I was also very, very skeptical. I couldn't imagine how just a pair of glasses would make a difference. What I didn't know was that Gunnar Optiks are more than just a pair of pretty glasses and that they pack some impressive technology.
The first thing you notice when you take them out of the box is the IONIK lens tint. I tried the new Joule eyewear and it has an amber tint that made me think of sunglasses. It seems counter intuitive that something that looks like outdoor eyewear would help with viewing a computer screen, but the lens tints on Gunnars are designed to increase contrast perception and filter our harsh artificial light, not shade your eyes from the sun.

Well, Just raided the stash and I am back on board. Will try to take some better close-up pics later. It is a dank wet day here in Western WA, not good for taking pictures.
First from the left will be B, it is flat fold fabric I have had for years
The light next to it will be A, it is the back of a cotton duvet cover, a damask 100% cotton, a Goodwill purchase
Dark pink leafy print will be C, another Goodwill purchase
Lighter pink solid will be D, also have had this for years
Darker Pink print will be E, Goodwill remnant
Darkest will be F, this one will be interesting as it is a McKenna Ryan ombre fabric, Silent Inspirations. The color graduates from dark charcoal to an almost an ecru color. I have yardage for the 3/4 yard I need.
I have been wanting to use the B fabric for years. I have enough of it to use as the backing also.

I think I have the fabrics I need and will lurck around until I am able to move to the sewing machine. Hip surgery on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grandmeto6 aka Judy
HELP JUDY!!! Help Help. I told you 6 fabrics would be too much for me. Here are two choices. #1, #2, or try again?
I raided the stash and hope there's enough contrast with these. Was wanting to use some Christmas fabrics and found some to go with. feel free to critique. I have a whole room of more.
oh that dark dark green to the left is the bin top, not a fabric choice LOL
Thank you, Paintmejudy, for doing this mystery quilt. I rode along (and sewed along) with the second one -- thoroughly enjoyed it -- top is finished; I keep going back and forth on hand quilting (I've never done), quilting on DSM (only done two) or sending it out (what I usually do). I'm anxious to go shop my stash for fabrics to make this one.

Poker Diva,
I like your number two pick but with the green print you have at the bottom of your number one pick if that's any help.
Poker, I favor the bottom collection. In fact, I love the bottom collection, it will have nice punch factor. My choice would be to do the black and red as E and F, and maybe pair the white with the white print, but I also think the green laying across the bottom of #1 would be really nice with the white, too. - I know that next week you will know exactly what to do once you read that clue.
Chefwarner - LOVE your xmas fabrics!!!!!
Cadqueen - you have until next Saturday to decide on fabric, I won't post anything until then.
You're welcome, Teacher.

Great indoor funWe bought this for my 4 year old for Christmas after he'd played with a similar bag at a friend's house. It's great quality and has been a nice addition to the things he can do inside when the weather is cold and he needs to get his wiggles out.
Great bagThere comes in a time in most little boys lives when they want their first punching bag. My son is 6, and he wanted one, so we decided to get him this one. It works great, especially for the price. Comes with gloves, everything you need punching bag wise, and a pump to blow up the ball. He's loving it, and it's still standing
Great punching bagThey thought of everything when they made this product. It comes with the bass, bag, staff, pump, and gloves.It's got an adjustment for height, so when your kid grows, you don't have to get rid of it. It has the pump in case the bag deflates. It has everything you need! Some people may not want it because they think it "promotes fighting" but that certainly isn't the case. Toys like this are great for kids to exercise and increase motor skills. My son is 6 and he absolutely loves this boxing set!

TB, or tuberculosis, is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB can attack any part of the body but usually attacks the lungs. TB disease was once a leading cause of death in the United States. Worldwide, TB still causes more deaths than any other infectious disease.TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The bacteria are spread when a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs or sneezes. People nearby can breathe in the TB germ and become infected.People who are infected with TB (latent TB infection) have TB germs in their bodies but do not feel sick or have symptoms. They cannot spread TB. However, they may develop TB disease at some time in the future. Signs of TB disease include cough, fatigue, fever, coughing up blood, night sweats, and weight loss.People with TB disease can be treated and cured if they seek medical help. Even better, people who have only TB infection can take preventive medication to reduce their risk of developing TB disease in the future.
Some differences between latent and active TB:
Latent TB Infection
Active TB Disease
TB germs are dormant (asleep) in your body. This phase can last for a long time.
TB germs are reproducing and spreading in your body.
You don't look or feel sick. Your chest x-ray usually is normal.
You usually feel sick. Typical symptoms include: a cough for longer than 3 weeks, weight loss, night sweats, and fever. A chest x-ray and other tests are needed to diagnose TB disease.
You can't spread TB to other people.
If the TB germs are in your lungs, you may spread TB to other people by coughing, sneezing, talking, or singing.

Ever since Visual Basic was merged into .NET, it's become the core language for creating business applications with Windows. The latest version, VB 2008, is even more useful -- and provides even more incentive for migrating from VB 6. All it lacks is a good book on how to harness its power. Programming Visual Basic 2008 fills the void.
Written in a lively and engaging style by a developer who's grown up with Visual Basic, including both VB 6 and VB .NET, this hands-on guide addresses the core topics of the new VB, from basic to complex, with plenty of code examples.
Programming Visual Basic 2008 also examines .NET programming from the application level with a chapter-by-chapter plan for developing, documenting, and deploying a full data-driven application. You learn, step-by-step, how to build and deploy a library management system, complete with patron, inventory, and barcode support.
The book's broad range of topics include:
Programming Visual Basic 2008 is ideal for VB 6 programmers who are ready to move to .NET, as well as VB.NET programmers who wish to improve their project-focused software development skills. Programming novices and developers coming from other languages will find the book valuable because of its language instruction and project design knowledge.
Once you finish the book, you will have a firm grasp of VB 2008's core concepts and language elements, and understand how to build VB projects as they were intended -- as complete, cohesive solutions.

The animal on the cover of Programming Visual Basic 2008 is a bufflehead duck (Bucephala albeola). The name bufflehead derives from the words "buffalo" and "head," referring to the bulbous head shape distinctive to this species. Male buffleheads are black and white with a large white patch extending from the eye to the back of the head; females are paler, smaller, and have a small white cheek patch. Both sexes are characterized by short necks and narrow gray bills. Ranging in size from 13 to 16 inches and 9 to 22 ounces, buffleheads are the smallest diving ducks in North America. Unlike other diving ducks, they are able to take flight directly from the water without having to run along the surface. They live by lakes, rivers, and bays in Canada and the northern U.S., migrating to coastal water on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts as far south as Mazatlan in the winter months. They nest in aspen and poplar cavities excavated by northern flickers and pileated woodpeckers. The bufflehead diet consists of fresh- and saltwater insects, snails, crustaceans, and plants. They dive for their food and swallow it underwater. Bufflehead ducks tend to stay in a group, one or two of them feeding while the others stand watch for any potential danger. Although not prized among duck hunters, buffleheads are hunted for sport in the U.S. and Canada and comprise approximately two percent of North American waterfowl hunting. Their status is not currently threatened, but habitat degradation is an increasing concern. Because the ducks return to the same breeding ground each year, overharvesting and deforestation could have a devastating impact on their population if not carefully monitored.

Comments about oreilly Programming Visual Basic 2008:
I have tried to learn vb2008 many times, but always was confused by the complexity, I even tried microsoft's own tutorials, to no avail. Then I checked this book out from the library, and after the first few pages I knew this was it. Tim Patrick gives thorough explanations combined with witty humor. If you need to learn vb2008, this is the book for you.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Apr 3, 2013 at 8:33 am #1301261
Steven HallBPL Member
Hello! Wondering what the trade off is for either of these? Looking to pick up an alcohol stove. Like the zelph and windscreen because I could fit it all inside the pot. Is the Caldera cone a lot more efficient? I don't camp anywhere crazy or in any extreme conditions
Thanks!Apr 3, 2013 at 10:38 am #1972358

The Caldera Cone can fit all inside the pot if you get the Sidewinder, Fusion or Fission versions.
In my testing (at low altitude) the Starlyte (both standard and modified) have proved more efficient than the 12-10 stove. (Things may be different at altitude) However, in many set-ups, they have a much slower boil time.
Different windscreens will give different amounts of protection from the wind, as well, which you should take into account. The Caldera Cone gives very good protection. Combined with the Starlyte stove, the Caldera Cone Keg-F manages to maintain the Starlyte's efficiency, but also speed up its boil time so that it is even faster than the 12-10 stove. I don't know how it will do at high altitude, but at lower elevations, at least, it's looking to me like the perfect combination.Apr 3, 2013 at 11:06 am #1972372

If you order a StarLyte stove it comes with a 4"x22" EZ-Fold corrugated aluminum windscreen that fits inside the Foster's 2 cup flat bottom pot. Order by the end of the day and I'll include a free cone shaped windscreen for use with a Kmart grease pot. The windscreen fits in the grease pot. I leave tomorrow morning to go on adventure with my wife, so no shipping until after April 11, 2013Apr 3, 2013 at 11:33 am #1972390

I'm absolutely in love with the Starlyte stove! In my opinion it's best alcohol stove. It's 14 gram and extremely efficient. And now it's not only unspillable which is a BIG advantage for alcohol stove (you can lit it and then play hockey with it – amazing!), but it also can retain remained alcohol in it. No need to measure. No need for measuring cup. After you done with boiling/cooking, just put a piece of aluminium foil on it. Let it cool, it will be fast, then close with the lid. Unbeatable.
Caldera cone is extremely stable. Much more stable than any canister stove. With Ti versions you can burn wood. Folds to nothing and is very light. Worth each cent!
The combo is an absolute winner. Stability, unspillability, UL, with Starlyte you don't need the stakes. It's just simple and clever setup. for me difference between 7 and 10 minutes is nothing. Anyway, if you need something really fast go to canister stoves.
Take both.Apr 3, 2013 at 11:43 am #1972398

Everybody has a different set of stove priorities. You just have to know what your own priorities are and how you intend to cook.
Some stoves will be lightest on weight. Some will be fastest. Some will be most efficient. Note that efficiency leads to less fuel carried, and that leads to lighter fuel weight. Some will be best on simplicity. Some are best on versatility with different pots. Some are the cheapest. Some are best for durability. Some are best for compactness. Some work better at high elevations.
No single alcohol stove will be best in all categories.

Bob, what are some of the alcohol stoves that work better in higher elevations? Can you point us to threads that have the comparisons?Apr 3, 2013 at 2:10 pm #1972459
Steven HallBPL Member
May be a dumb question, but with the screen on top of the Starlyte, do you pour the alcohol through that? Does that make it hard to light?Apr 3, 2013 at 2:54 pm #1972470
Terry GBPL Member
@delvxeLocale: Pacific Northwest
i dont have a Starlyte (yet), but yes, you pour it on the screen. The stove is filled with wicking material which absorbs the alcohol, so lighting is not a problem. There are a few videos on youtube to check out.Apr 4, 2013 at 4:17 pm #1972921
I have both the starlyte and the 12/10 ti tri. I personally like the regular starlyte with Zelph's titanium windscreen better. You can even use the starlyte with a ti tri windscreen – just shin the stove to 1" below the bottom of your pot. Both companies give excellent customer service. Dan with Zelph's was especially great!
The starlyte seems to be slightly more efficient, lights easier, and saves the unused fuel in the stove itself. It also fits inside a smaller pot. The titanium windscreen (which also burns esbit and firewood) setup is lighter than the caldera cone ti tri setup because you use a fosters can. It's about 5 oz for the pot w/lid, ti windscreen, stove, stand, pot grabber, fuel bottle, stuff sack, aluminum storage can, lighter, and firewood stand. You are limited to 24 oz however.
The advantage of the ti tri is the ability to use a WIDE variety of sturdier pots, yet you are limited to only one size pot per appropriate sized windscreen.Apr 4, 2013 at 4:36 pm #1972929
Hi, David,
I'm not sure if I completely followed you. Do you have any photos? A photo of the two set ups side by side would be ideal.Apr 4, 2013 at 4:48 pm #1972934
No photos at this time. What specific questions do you have?
The starlyte setup is on youtube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5P7t6F5CtIA .
A great discussion on the starlyte is on whiteblaze – http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/showthread.php?91643-Titanium-Windscreen-is-for-wood-alcohol-stove.
The caldera ti tri sidewinder setup can be found at trail designs – http://www.traildesigns.com/stoves/caldera-sidewinderApr 4, 2013 at 4:59 pm #1972936
Hi, David,
I didn't quite follow you when you said
The advantage of the ti tri is the ability to use a WIDE variety of sturdier pots, yet you are limited to only one size pot per appropriate sized windscreen.
I'll check out the video and the forum discussion when I get a chance. I have a Ti-Tri.Apr 4, 2013 at 5:16 pm #1972938
You buy a caldera cone ti tri to specifically fit a .5L pot, a 1L pot, a 1.5L, 1.6L, 1.9L, 2L, etc. pot. There are also sizes for wide or tall pots. When you buy a windscreen for a particular sized pot, the windscreen will only work with that sized pot. i.e. – A windscreen for a .5L pot will not work for a 1L pot.
The zelph woodgaz titanium windscreens are designed to work IN THE ALCOHOL OR ESBIT MODE primarily with flat bottomed fosters cans because the can must go down inside the windscreen. There is a little bit of wiggle room, however – an inch or two. In the woodburning mode the stove will work with a wide variety of pots because the pot sets on top of the windscreen. If, on the other hand, you choose to use an aluminum windscreen (no wood burning), you could use any reasonable-sized pot.
Hope this helps, Hikin Jim.
PS – I like your blog. Been following it for over a year. Glad you are back!Apr 5, 2013 at 12:32 pm #1973142
OK, I think I get what you're saying. There are a lot of options with Ti-Tri in that there are a lot of pots that are supported, BUT once you buy you're kind of locked into that pot. I get it. Sorry to be a little slow. I'm working seven days a week until the end of April. I'm a little brain dead right now.
I have however, found with the titanium of the Ti-Tri, that it's strong enough to support a fry pan. See Wood Fired Cooking on a Ti-Tri
PS – I like your blog. Been following it for over a year. Glad you are back!
Thanks. It's good to be back. I have to admit I have a lot of fun experimenting all the variants of various types of stoves. :)Apr 6, 2013 at 6:54 am #1973351

@williamc3Locale: Antakya
Regarding the TD Caldera Cone being only being usable with the pot you got it sized for. I've never done this in practice, but it seems you can use the cone with a smaller, as long as it's narrower and not taller. The cone can be wrapped more narrowly, and held in place with paper clips. The stove would need jacking up if the smaller pot were also shallower.
I don't think it would be ideal, but it should work for someone occasionally wanting to use a smaller pan along with their main one.Apr 6, 2013 at 12:23 pm #1973430

Yeah, I guess. Sounds like a bit of a hassle though.
I've got the Ti-Tri Sidewinder with a 1.3L Evernew UL Ti pot. It's light enough that I don't mind carrying it on solo trips, but it's plenty big enough for two. If I'm out with more than two, then it's time to switch to a gas stove.Apr 6, 2013 at 12:26 pm #1973432
I've been able to do some interesting cooking with the Ti-Tri. I even did an omelette at last year's GGG at Henry Coe State Park:

Not Quite BlackJune 23, 2014
As the other reviewer has commented, Swarovski's "black" pearl color is not a true black but rather a very dark grey. ("Mystic black" is true black, but therefore lacks the pearly finish -- mystic black is shiny, but not "pearly.")
I was aware of this ahead of time from reading reviews (thanks, reviewers!), so for me these were exactly as expected. I also purchased a Tierracast charm in their "black" finish (which is also more of a very dark grey or gunmetal), and these matched perfectly, which is what I was hoping.
As for the quality, well, these are Swarovski pearls, so (in my experience) they are pretty much flawless, except for maybe a handful in every 100 or so.

does anyone know where i can download a bee sting chart i think it would be beter than just stinging where it hurts
Trimman, I have Charles Mraz' book and read the chapter on trigger points. I found a trigger point on my hand and stung it just last night. It felt better immediately-this morning I'm a little swollen and a *lot* itchy, but my right thumb feels better than my left. I'm still in the stage where I'm working on my immunity so I don't get carried away and swell up like a blimp. I am going to get stung at least once more this afternoon and possibly in three trigger points I found.
I had my dr. friend show me 3 points in the hand relly 2 in the wrist and one in the fleshy part between thumb and pointing finger my wrist feels better and my thumb is just amazing i go and look at my bees every day and if one is crowling off to die i pick it up with my needle nose plaires and sting my hand dont want to wast a sting and it relly helps
no but i am still looking next time i go and work for my dr. frend i will ask him
Many apitherapists use the acupuncture sites.

Dell is making $8 billion in services every year, according to its founder and CEO. In an interview this week Michael Dell credited company's one percent share of the global enterprise services market, as well as $1.5 billion in annual software sales, to a series of successful acquisitions in recent years.
Dell mentions Force10, Compellent and EqualLogic alongside Quest and AppAsure, two of the company's most tecent software buys. He goes on to share some figures that offer a glimpse into the breadth of the vendor's operations in the services space, as well as hints of what it plans next.
The executive says that Dell handles 32 billion security events per day between SecureWorks and SonicWall, and manages 114 million mission-critical devices on top of that. The InSite One cloud service for the healthcare industry hosts more than 5 billion medical images, according to Dell, who adds that spare parts for ProSupport are stored in 656 locations worldwide.
"Despite efforts to grow beyond a PC company with multiple acquisitions over the past few years, we estimate 65%-70% of its business is still tied to PCs," Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu wrote in a report last week. "We still believe [Dell] needs to take bolder, more aggressive steps to reinvent itself."
The high-margin services space is a big bet for the company, especially in light of intense competition from other vendors.
EMC, which recently held its earnings call for the third quarter, is seeing a lot of demand from enterprises that are replacing their legacy infrastructure for virtualized storage and Vblock cloud modules, while HP, which also competes with Dell in the consumer space, expects services revenue to fall by over 10 percent this year.

Accepting Our Helper
from R.C. Sproul Feb 07, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulIt was 3 a.m., Amsterdam, 1965. I couldn't sleep. I was pacing the floor of our apartment like a caged lion. My body was more than ready for sleep, but my mind refused to shut down. I had spent that day studying the doctrine of the ascension of Christ, the climactic moment of His departure from this world. One statement of Jesus gripped my mind in a vise. The statement was part of Jesus' farewell discourse to His disciples in the upper room. He said: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you" (John 16:7). Keep Reading
Interpreting the Logos
from R.C. Sproul Jan 31, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulIn Greek philosophy, the logos remains an impersonal force, a lifeless and abstract philosophical concept that is a necessary postulate for the cause of order and purpose in the universe. In Hebrew thought, the Logos is personal. He indeed has the power of unity, coherence, and purpose, but the distinctive point is that the biblical Logos is a He, not an it. Keep Reading

We are even tempted to wonder about the wisdom of God's plan. Keep Reading
Accepting the Atonement of the Cross
from R.C. Sproul Jan 17, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulThe apostle Paul wasn't even present at the crucifixion of Christ, yet he declared that this act was an act of cosmic and supernatural proportions. This was a real drama of theological redemption. Here the curse of God's law was visited on a man who bore the sins of His people. For Paul, the crucifixion was the pivotal point of all history. Paul was not satisfied to give an account of the event. While affirming the historicity of the crucifixion, Paul added the apostolic interpretation of the meaning of the event. He set forth propositions about the death of Christ. Keep Reading
Understanding the Cross

Adopting Christ's Attitude
from R.C. Sproul Jan 10, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul"Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on the cross!" (Phil. 2:4–8, NIV). Keep Reading
The Primitive Scriptures
from R.C. Sproul Jan 07, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulIn the sixteenth century, the Reformers declared their total confidence in what they called the perspicuity of Scripture. What they meant by that technical term was the clarity of Scripture. They maintained that the Bible is basically clear and lucid. It is simple enough for any literate person to understand its basic message. This is not to say that all parts of the Bible are equally clear or that there are no difficult passages or sections to be found in it. Laymen unskilled in the ancient languages and the fine points of exegesis may have difficulty with parts of Scripture, but the essential content is clear enough to be understood easily. Luther, for example, was convinced that what was obscure and difficult in one part of Scripture was stated more clearly and simply in other parts of Scripture. Keep Reading
Accepting Christ's Deity
from R.C. Sproul Jan 05, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulIn Jesus' high priestly prayer in John 17, He says: "And now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was" (v. 5). Here Jesus alludes to a position He held before creation. It is a tacit claim to His participation in the eternal glory of God. In the fourth century, the church faced a serious crisis with respect to the deity of Christ. The Arian heretics denied the deity of Christ, claiming that Jesus was a creature who was adopted into a special relationship with God.

from R.C. Sproul Jan 03, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulThe book of James has an unusual sentence construction that links the word glory with the name of Jesus: "My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality" (James 2:1). In this verse the words "Lord of glory" have alternate renditions. Some translations read, "Our glorious Lord." Still another possible translation reads, "Jesus Christ, who is the glory."

Our Land
Released October 08, 2004
From Nov. 26, 2004 through Jan. 30, 2005, the Peabody Essex Museum hosts Our Land: Contemporary Art from the Arctic, the first major museum exhibition of contemporary art from Canada's newest territory, Nunavut. The exhibition includes more than 50 artworks—from sculpture, prints, and textile art to photography, video, and sound installations—all created in the last half-century, a time of burgeoning artistic and cultural awareness and pride among Canada's Inuit. Our Land is a collaborative project of the Peabody Essex Museum, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Nunavut.
"We are very honored to be working with the Peabody Essex Museum to showcase the culture, heritage, and talent of Inuit," says Louis Tarpardjuk, Nunavut's Culture, Language, Elders and Youth Minister. "Inuit culture, belief system, and the natural arctic world provide Inuit with seemingly unlimited subject matter for artistic expression. I believe Our Land clearly demonstrates this diversity."
The vast eastern Canadian Arctic has been home to Inuit since ancient times. In 1999, Canada redrew its map for the first time in 50 years to create Nunavut from the Northwest Territories. Nunavut means "our land" in the Inuktitut language. This remarkable transfer of power, done peacefully and democratically, meant the dream of a new territory had finally become a reality for Inuit.
The exhibition focuses on Inuit themes of cosmology and spirituality, families, place, season, time, and gathering. It includes installations featuring Inuit throat singing, storytelling, and contemporary music, as well as a presentation of Nunavut, a video installation by Zacharias Kunuk, recently shown at Documenta 11, the world's largest contemporary art exhibition held in Kassel, Germany. Peter Irniq, artist and Commissioner of Nunavut, will create an Inuksuk, or "likeness of a person," as part of the exhibition. Inuksuit (plural) are stone figures—beacons for travelers in Canada's north, symbolizing the strength, leadership, and motivation of Inuit.
"Native peoples have always adopted new forms of expression and materials in response to ever-changing conditions. And we feel inspired to keep pace with the latest creative currents among artists in their communities," says John Grimes, deputy director for research, new media, and information at PEM, and co-curator of Our Land, along with Karen Kramer, assistant curator of Native American Art. "The recent international acclaim of works by artists such as Zacharias Kunuk is an occasion to take stock of the tremendous creative output by Inuit artists over the past two generations."
The Peabody Essex Museum is an ideal venue for Our Land. The museum, dedicated to art and culture from around the world, has one of the oldest ongoing collections of Native American art in the Western Hemisphere. During its recent transformation into one of America's top 20 art museums, PEM created a gallery for rotating installations of Native American art. The museum is also committed to forging partnerships with Native American artists through projects such as the Education through Cultural and Historical Organizations (ECHO) Act, a federally funded education and cultural enrichment initiative, annually serving hundreds of thousands of people in Alaska, Hawai'i, and Massachusetts.
Nunavut, a region larger than Alaska, encompasses most of the Canadian Arctic, reaching from Hudson Bay to the North Pole. With landscapes that range from stark vistas to mountains and fiords, it is a territory of extraordinary variety and beauty. The presentation of Our Land acknowledges the remarkable resilience and growth of Inuit creative expression over the past five decades.
Today, Inuit art includes a wide range of media and can be found in public and private collections in Canada and other parts of the world. Germaine Arnaktauyok, Kenojuak Ashevak, Pitseolak Ashoona, Pudlo Pudlat, Jesse Oonark, Zacharias Kunuk, and Lucie Idlout are just a few of the artists who have contributed to a vital body of sculpture, drawing, printmaking, textile arts, and work in other media, that are featured in Our Land. The outstanding creative achievements of such artists have helped give voice to Inuit values and beliefs and spurred economic and social development in their communities. Our Land aims to introduce the art and unique worldview of Canada's contemporary Inuit to visitors of the Peabody Essex Museum.
In addition to the exhibition, catalogue, and DVD, the museum will host an active calendar of public programming featuring Inuit art and culture, including films, lectures, artist demonstrations, online exhibitions, and dance and musical performances.
Our Land: Contemporary Art from the Arctic, has received financial support from the Government of Nunavut's Department of Culture, Language, Elders and Youth, the Government of Canada, the Constance Killam Trust, and the Elizabeth Killam Rodgers Trust.
Nunavut collection of contemporary Inuit art
The Government of Nunavut collection of contemporary Inuit art, which contains more than 5,000 art objects, is currently housed at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre in Yellowknife, the Northwest Territories. The plan is to eventually relocate the works to a permanent museum in Nunavut. The exhibition at PEM marks the first time the Nunavut collection will travel outside Canada.
Native American art collection, Peabody Essex Museum
The Native American art collection is one of the oldest ongoing collections of its kind in the nation and is recognized internationally for the exceptional quality of the more than 20,000 works from the western hemisphere that it includes. The museum continues to acquire important contemporary works by living artists of Native descent from the Americas. Through exhibitions, scholarship, public programs and interpretation, the Native American curatorial program provides a forum for exploring multifaceted aspects of identity, tradition, and innovation for Native artists and their communities.

Dactinomycin is extremely corrosive to soft tissue. If extravasation occurs during intravenous use, severe damage to soft tissues will occur. In at least one instance, this has led to contracture of the arms.
Dactinomycin is one of the actinomycins, a group of antibiotics produced by various species of Streptomyces. Dactinomycin is the principal component of the mixture of actinomycins produced by Streptomyces parvullus. Unlike other species of Streptomyces, this organism yields an essentially pure substance that contains only traces of similar compounds differing in the amino acid content of the peptide side chains. The empirical formula is C62H86N12O16 and the structural formula is:
COSMEGEN is a sterile, yellow to orange lyophilized powder for injection by the intravenous route or by regional perfusion after reconstitution. Each vial contains 0.5 mg (500 mcg) of dactinomycin and 20.0 mg of mannitol.

the days of brady and the pats having this air of invincibility are long gone,,they are ripe for the picking on any given sunday.
Going by the OPs logic, should Eli retire because he has failed 2 times now to successfully defend our SuperBowl Title? I can answer both by stating that no Tom Brady should not retire and no, Eli Manning should not retire.
While we are on the subject, should Peyton Manning retire after pulling another epic playoff choke this year?
The Patriots are the globetrotters of the AFC East, they fluff their winning percentage every year with that powderpuff schedule, and then get exposed against battle tested teams in the playoffs.
Granted, Brady is a great QB and Belichick is a great coach, but their ridiculous records each year are skewed. For instance, in '11 they went 13-3 but didn't defeat a single team that would finish above .500 until edging the Ravens in the AFC championship. The 2 teams that they faced that would finish above .500, they lost to in succession before winning out the rest of the regular season.
This is reminiscent of '07 in that they scored at a record setting pace, but were brought back down to reality in the playoffs. 13 points at home?
Their lack of a defense keeps killing them, they can't stop anyone.
Are people seriously questioning the Patriots and/or Brady? They are practically guaranteed to be contenders each and every season. So they lost a playoff game. Every team loses games. Should the entire NFL fold?
Come on
wow. just wow.
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l

Looked like some ammo is starting to come back it is still a bit pricey. Shoot Straight had a large area, about 3 aisles but way over priced on some of thier handguns. I questioned the $500 price on a Ruger LCP and was rudely told some one will buy it. You can get the same gun in local shops for the msrp. The show was crowded but it looked like people were buying.

BoltHype Chats With Top D-Tackle Prospect Ron Brace
The San Diego Chargers head into the offseason with question marks along their Defensive Line; Who will replace Igor Olshansky? How much longer can Jamal Williams play at a high level? Is Luis Castillo injury prone? These questions are of particular concern to the team's fans as many of them view the Chargers greatest offseason need being the acquisition of a defensive lineman. While few players fit the prototype mold of a 3-4 nose guard, there is at least one player in this draft class who was built to play in the position; Defensive Tackle Ron Brace.
At 6'3" 330lbs, Brace is ideally suited for playing the nose in a 3-4 defense. After having a chance to speak with the mammoth tackle, I came away more convinced than ever that Brace could be the heir apparent to Jamal William's crucial two-gap responsibilities...
Ron, as one of the best nose guard prospects in this draft class, I would imagine that you are drawing some serious interest in teams that run a 3-4 defense. What teams have shown interest in you so far?
"I talked to a lot of teams at the Senior Bowl. It seems like a lot of the 3-4 teams really took an interest in me as a person and wanted to spend a lot of time with me. I remember my conversations with the Cowboys and Dolphins were pretty long. I also had a good conversation with the Chargers."
What did the Chargers say to you?
"They just told me that there aren't many nose tackles in this draft and that they were happy with the way I was playing that week in Mobile."
How would you feel about playing in San Diego?
"I would love to play in San Diego. I've heard the city is beautiful."
Are you familiar with the team and some of the things they like to do on defense?
"I know they run a 3-4 and that means the outside linebackers bring a lot of pressure. I'm sure they use stunts and delayed blitzes on the inside and out, so I think it'd be nice to play in a system like that."
How would you feel about playing a three-man front?
"Playing a 3 man front would be fine with me. I'm a pretty big guy and have no problem taking on multiple defenders to clog the middle."
Based on your rising stock and unique abilities, where do you expect to be drafted?
"Man I really have no idea. I've heard some people say late first round. Some have said third. So I really don't know what to expect. I'm just focused on testing well at the Combine and at my pro day. The rest will take care of itself."
You improved every year at Boston College, particularly with making plays behind the line of scrimmage. What do you attribute your success to? Was it a matter of improving on techniques like rush moves or do you think playing in a rotation kept you fresher in the third and fourth quarter?
"Just getting stronger, quicker, and smarter as each year went on. In high school, I used my size to my advantage and was able to basically throw people around to get to the quarterback. I had to really focus on working on my technique in college because the competition was so much better. So the longer I worked on that stuff, the more comfortable I felt."
Speaking of competition, the ACC is loaded with great offensive linemen. Who were some of the best guys you went up against in your career? And how did the competition level in your conference help prepare you for the NFL?
"There were a lot of talented guys throughout the years. One of them was my former teammate, Gosder Cherilus. We went at it every day in practice and I think that made me a better player."
Talk about your strengths as a player... what do you think your role would be in the NFL?
"I'm strong and very quick off the snap. I know how to take on multiple guys in order to let my teammates come in for the kill. I'll collapse the pocket and stuff the run. Those are some of my best attributes. I think what a lot of people don't realize is how light I am on my feet for a big man. I plan on being a starter in the League one day and just hope to have a long, healthy career."
Who are you most looking forward to playing against as a pro?
"I'm just excited to get going. Just being able to play professional ball is going to be a thrill for me."
Alright now for some fun questions: Favorite team, any sport?
"Playing in Boston, of course I'm a Celtics fan."
Favorite free-time activity?
"Listening to music and watching the History channel."
What would your last meal be?
"A big steak dinner."
Free trip any in the world...where would you go?
"To a tropical island, with good-looking women."
First thing you'll buy after signing your deal?
"I plan on putting money into the bank."
I want to thank Mr. Ron Brace and his agent Nate for making this interview happen. Good luck Ron, hope to talk again down the road!

I don't think we have a shot at Brace in the third. Hopefully AJ can work some magic and get us a second rounder or two.
He could be dominate as long as he stays committed to the game. Adding Ron Brace to the mix would keep Jamal fresh and finally give us depth at such an important position!
If AJ wants him. He can trade down and get Moala or Jackson in the the late 1st and Brace in the 2nd. Although I prefer Moala in the late 1st as I don't think Jackson will still be there and Chung in the 2nd an impact safety and Alex Magee who can play the 3 technique as our new DE or to compete with Grennan in the 3rd.
Great interview! I want more :p
2nd round is too high for Chung
2nd round isn't high for Chung. He is a 2nd rounder with the possibility to become a 3rd rounder. Personally I hope he falls to the 3rd so we can get a steal.

off topic - as long as the bees are clustered and there isn't much to do I guess a little off topic chatter won't offend anyone too much.
So how do you guys keep your chickens safe from predators. My guys love to graze, the first thing they do out of the chicken tractor is go for anything green to eat. Then they scratch for bugs the rest of the day. So I hate to keep them all caged up all the time - unfortunately the bobcats and coyotes hate it too.
No eggs right now - all my layers got eaten by the bobcat (who no longer lives in this county). Have 25 Oct. 1 hatched colored egg layers growing up though. Just hate seeing them living in a cage with no where to scratch and nothing green to eat.

UTSA weather updates: What you need to know
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Jan. 22, 2008)--Since the San Antonio area will face winter weather for another month or so, there is always the possibility that UTSA may temporarily close because of icy conditions.
A primary resource for UTSA weather-related updates is (210) 458-SNOW (7669).
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
At any time of the year, whether there is ice or excessive rain, there are three methods that UTSA administration communicates the operational status of the university:
- UTSA Web sites: UTSA home page, UTSA Today
- Local media
UTSA faculty, staff and students can call 458-SNOW at any time for information about the Tri-Campus community regarding the status of classes and employee work schedules. The line accepts up to 138 calls at a time, but if there is a busy signal, please be patient and try again.
The UTSA Office of University Communications will update two Web sites (the UTSA home page and UTSA Today) with information on the university's status.
Although University Communications attempts to distribute current information to all media outlets in San Antonio, the process can be difficult because of the large number of phone calls received by newspapers and radio and television stations during periods of severe weather.
UTSA makes every attempt to provide all media outlets correct information in a timely manner, but the university initially communicates with both WOAI Television and WOAI Radio.
Frequently Asked Questions: UTSA weather closures
How early does UTSA determine whether or not to close the campuses due to adverse weather?
When adverse weather occurs during the night, the UTSA Police Department advises the vice president for business affairs concerning weather conditions. The vice president consults with the provost and vice president for student affairs before advising the president, who determines whether or not to close the university. Officials attempt to make a decision about whether or not to close the campuses by approximately 5 a.m. Subsequently, staff members in University Communications work to change the message on 458-SNOW, update the Web sites and contact media outlets.
At other universities, they continue to have classes regardless of snow or ice. What criteria are used to close UTSA?
UTSA is committed to making the best decision relevant to the safety of all students, faculty and staff. In San Antonio, even a small amount of ice might create an unsafe situation, considering that students and employees travel to the university from a variety of distances. Sometimes, weather in the Hill Country may not be reflective of conditions in southern portions of Bexar County.
What if my situation appears dangerous, and I cannot determine whether or not UTSA is closed?
Individuals are encouraged to make a prudent decision about traveling to campus in consideration of the weather in their area.
If UTSA closes, where do I go for information if I have questions regarding Define, administrative leave, timesheets and comp time?
Once the decision is made to close UTSA, the Human Resources Web site will have information posted on these topics.

I cut the holes the same size as the hose, so the hose JUST won't go in. Then I ream the hole partway through, on a taper. The hose goes in part way and sticks.
I cut the holes the same size as the hose, so the hose JUST won't go in. Then I ream the hole partway through, on a taper. The hose goes in part way and sticks.
I was looking at the beevac pics and like the design. It looks very easy to make and the transfer of bees to their new home looks like it would be a breeze.
It looks like a couple of the pictures show ventilation holes in the collection box, while other pictures show no such holes. With the use of the router control to adjust the shop-vac speed, do you feel that some screened holed in the side of the collection box are a good thing, or not really necessary?
Barry, read post 19. The ones without were one of the first ones built, and later modified. They help with ventilation on the way home, and are essential to controlling the vac power.
Where did you get the plexiglass?
I'm not Idee, but have made enough things to tell you that plexiglass is available at virtually any hardware and/or lumber retail store- True Value, Ace, TheHome Depot, Lowes, along with any ma & pa hardware store in Anytown USA. Many, maybe all of these stores will cut it for you, but it's not brain surgery, so feel free to try your hand and make it fit your own needs.
When I had bees I have used a 10 cm (3.9 inch) high frame area like a super. From one upper short side to the other bottom short side was a mesh. One hole in each end for vacuum hoses. The vacuum cleaner goes under the mesh and the hose for the bees over the mesh. You place normal frames in the super. When you use the vacuum the airflow is equal in both hoses but when the bees hit the mesh the pressure is nearly zero so that the bees can enter the frames. I know this was not the best explanation but I hope you can figure it out.
Have a nice beekeeping season.
Retired beekeeper, Free beekeeping software
http://apimo.dk email@example.com
I've been using an Idee-inspired vac for a few seasons of removals now and can say it's the bomb . I still haven't gotten around to a router controller, still using a slider/panel for suction control. I do use the tubing that came with the vac, though I've gotten a few more lengths so the shopvac can sit on the ground while I'm up on the ladder. I also use the blower nozzle attachment to increase suction at the intake, then the bees slow down in the tubing for a more gentle ride. Occasionally I lift the tubing straight (so the vac is it the bottom) and shake a bit to move clumps along in the tubing. I definitely err on the low-suction side: slower, but happier bees that way.
Bees, brews and fun
in Lyons, CO
I've seen Iddee's vac first hand and its the real stuff. Its lighter than the one I have which has an outer box and removable inner box's. It works but is heavy. I plan on building off of Iddee's idea soon. I've used 3 different types of hose, smooth, larger and the typical vacuum hose. They all worked. Didnt notice any better. They all kill them if the suction is too high. Use a bee brush to coax them to flight and then suck them from the air.
I have built a couple from a picture I saw on the internet. I will try to describe it, since it really is a variation of Iddee's. It consists of two pieces that look like very thin supers (about 3 1/2 inches tall). The bottom one has a piece of 1/4 inch luan inserted on a slope, front to back, for a floor. The top one is screened, and has a dado for a piece of luan to slide in above the screen. You simply sandwich a hive body or two between the bottom and top, clamp them together with a couple of ratchet straps, attach your shop vacuum to the top and hose to the bottom and vacuum up bees. When done, remove the bottom hose and close hole with tape. Remove top hose and remove top luan. This allows for ventilation during transport. Move to desired location and leave over night. Remove straps and set hive body(ies) on your choice of bottom boards. Add cover and you are done. If I can get some pics, I will post if anyone is interested.
I'd like to see some pics!
do a search for bushkill bee vac.
Don't think you are on the right road simply because it is a well worn pathway.
Thanks Ted! I like to give credit where credit is due, but I couldn't remember where I saw it, and all I printed to build off of was the pic. I have not had a chance to use it yet, but I think it offers some definite advantages. Would be happy to build one for someone for a slight fee and a donation to this website.
Idee, what do you use the slide in bottom for and have you made any changes after using it several years?
Thanks Bill
Thanks, ncsteeler. I've those pics on robos site but they are too small to make anything out and there are no plans on how to build it that I can find. -james
Iddee's i made a bushkillbee vac and have had a learing curve with it. i saw your design and like it. i will be building me one soon. does your deep brude box have a screen boffom on it? i would seem like you would have to have a solid bottom for the vac to work. if it is the brude box you are going to put in your bee yard , do you slide in a solid bottom? i guess if you were using solid bottoms, all you would have to do is stop up the entrance to keep the suckion there. can any one help?
Could an 18 volt battery be used as the power source?
