Medicare Lawsuit Update
In A Free Country, Who Decides?
Washington, DC – A federal District Court judge [Rosemary Collyer] has dismissed a two-and-a-half year lawsuit charging the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with adopting policies that deny otherwise eligible retirees their rightful Social Security benefits if those retirees choose not to enroll in Medicare. The lawsuit, known as Hall v. Sebelius, was originally filed October 9, 2008.
"Anyone concerned with what will happen when the bureaucrats start writing the thousands of pages of rules that will govern the 'Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act' need only look at what has happened in Hall v. Sebelius," said Kent Masterson Brown, lead attorney in the case. "When they do, they will realize nothing will be optional and there will be no fair, affordable or swift manner to obtain recourse or appeal a decision made by the bureaucracy."
The plaintiffs announced this morning their intent to appeal the decision "even if it takes them two-and-a-half more years to win the right to make their own healthcare choices, rather than be beholden to a bureaucracy that knows and cares nothing about their individual circumstances," Brown said.
Judge Collyer's decision, he said, "provides a novel, new interpretation of what a federal 'entitlement' is. Based on her ruling, an entitlement is now an obligation. If an individual is entitled to certain federal benefits, he or she under this decision would now be obligated to accept them. A low-income family, hypothetically, could be required to accept housing and food assistance if that family qualifies – even if the members of that household have objections to accepting public assistance. That, in effect, is the meaning of this ruling."
The original three plaintiffs in Hall v. Sebelius were seniors Brian Hall of Catlett, Va., a retired employee of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); Lewis Randall of Whidbey Island, Wash., near Seattle, a member of the board of directors of E*Trade; and Norman Rogers of Miami, Fla., retired founder and CEO of Rabbit Semiconductor, Davis, Calif. Former House Majority Leader Richard K. ("Dick") Armey and retired Navy civilian engineer John J. Kraus of Plymouth Meeting, Pa., near Philadelphia, joined the lawsuit in an amended complaint filed December 2008.
In their complaints, the plaintiffs alleged that 1993 and 2002 rules added by the Social Security Administration to its "Program Operations Manual" are illegal. Those rules state, in effect, that any retiree who elects to opt out of Medicare Part A will automatically lose his or her Social Security retirement benefits and will be forced to repay any Social Security benefits received prior to opting out of Medicare Part A.
Their lawsuit argues that:
In dismissing the case, Judge Collyer said "Requiring a mechanism for Plaintiffs and others in their situation to 'disenroll' would be contrary to congressional intent, which was to provide 'mandatory' benefits under Medicare Part A for those receiving Social Security Retirement benefits."
"Plaintiffs are trapped in a government program intended for their benefit. They disagree and wish to escape. The Court can find no loophole or requirement that the Secretary provide such a pathway," she concluded.
"Judge Collyer's decision is without legal merit and defies all logic," said Brown. "She says that 'entitlement' under Medicare Part A 'is a different type of entitlement because of its automatic nature.' I had no idea the word 'entitlement' ever meant mandatory. In all the Anglo-American literature and the corpus of judicial opinions throughout this Country's history, 'entitled' has always meant what the dictionary says it means: 'to qualify or to give a right to or to give proper grounds for seeking or claiming something.' How can there be 'a different type of entitlement?'"
Judge Collyer's 13-page decision is available here and plaintiffs and legal counsel are available for interviews by request.

Cavium Off 5%: Q1 Rev View Light, Telecom to Be 'Soft'
Shares of chip maker Cavium (CAVM), a major supplier to Cisco Systems (CSCO), are down $1.66, or almost 5%, at $33.20, after the company this afternoon reported Q4 revenue in line with analysts' estimates, and earnings per share that topped consensus by one penny.
The company forecast this quarter's revenue lower than analysts have been modeling, citing weakness in the telecom market.
Revenue in the three months ended in December rose to $81.1 million, yielding EPS of $31 cents.
Analysts, on average, had been modeling $81.1 million and 30 cents per share.
Gross margin was 66.3%.
On a conference call with analysts following the report, the company the company projected the current quarter revenue in a range of $80 million to $83 million, and gross margin of about 66%. EPS is expected in a range of 27 cents to 29 cents, excluding some costs.
That is lower than the average revenue estimate of $83.2 million, but higher than the consensus for EPS at 27 cents.
CEO Syed Ali remarked that the quarter would see strength from enterprise data center products and wireless infrastructure, but that the market for wireline networking and for telecom applications will be "soft" because of "seasonality and some inventory work-downs."
Management said its sales to Cisco in the quarter rose 8% from the prior quarter, to $15.7 million, making up 19% of total sales in Q4.

I spent three days and two nights in the jungle covered in my new perfume - also known as DET - on both body and clothes. I faired better than the rest of the group in the bite department but did annoy myself that I had to drink so much water as the result was always more more bites on the bum - those sneaky mossies just seemed to be waiting for the very moment.
I enjoyed the boat trips up and down the small channels of the Rio Amazonas for the breeze it brought in the heat, the distant view of the dense jungle and to sit quietly for a good couple of hours trying to catch Piranhas with pieces of fresh chicken. I managed to get a few nibbles as they feasted on my bait while clearly avoiding being caught - I am sure they must love novice fisherman. A few others were a lot luckier and it resulted in Piranha soup for lunch the following day.
Our night adventure on the water was eerie and exciting as we motored along the unnaturally calm river from bank to bank looking for Cayman which would be big enough to eat. I have never been on a hunt before and it is some serious business. One of the local jungle residents easily balanced on the boat and managed very quickly to spear and catch a female cayman. It was tied up for safe transportation back to base - well for the benefit of the passengers that was.
The next day we once again ventured on the river in search of some Pink Dolphins (yes they do exist) before trekking into the jungle for the night. I was not overly excited about the prospect but still needed to see what this jungle talk was all about. We made our camp (15 minute walk from the waters edge) using all resources the jungle could provide us with. So while some people helped chop down trees, others swept the area clean, built a BBQ or started marinating our skinned cayman in garlic, salt, lime and citrus herbs found in the jungle. I did ask myself at this stage who on earth would ever want to be on Survivor.
The cayman was just yummy - a smooth smokey flavour from the fire and neither tasted of chicken nor fish. It was not all about building camp and we made tracks into the jungle to explore. Our Rastafarian guide showed us medicinal plants for malaria, cuts, bruises, water vines (whose water tasted very sweet), how to make fans out of the local palm tree leaves, crack open fresh Brazil nuts with a machete and I guess the best highlight of the day was to see a tarantula.
Back at camp we set up our hammocks and mossie nets before settling down on a log to enjoy the relaxing properties of cacacha with dinner. Even with a few strategically placed candles the jungle was very very dark and I did hope that no snakes would be going for their nightly stroll. When it actually came down to going to bed it really was entertaining and annoying all at the same time as some people hammocks broke when safely settled inside and then to top it all once we were all in bed I found myself hitting the hard wet ground with a big thud - along with everyone else. This happened a few times and at this stage I did not appreciate the quirky saying of our guide �Everything is going to be alright` and wished ever so hard that the morning would come so we could leave this place that made me feel very uncomfortable.
I had a big smile as we got back on the boat and smiled even more when I got to see a sloth for the very first time. My jungle trip was finally over and I could not wait to get back to the city of Manaus.

I would definitely like to give Spags a shot if we could ever pull that off!!

Letter to the Secretary
April 30, 1996Honorable Richard W. Riley
Secretary of Education
Washington, DC 20202
Dear Mr. Secretary:
I am pleased to submit this Semiannual Report on the activities of the Department's Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the six-month period ending March 31, 1996. Submission of this report is in accordance with section 5 of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-452, as amended). The Act requires that you transmit this report, along with any comments you may wish to make, to the appropriate Congressional committees and subcommittees.
When I became this Department's Inspector General in January, I was deeply impressed by the extraordinary challenges - fiscal, operational and programmatic that faced both the Department and the Office I was to lead. In the months that followed, I was to be equally impressed by the skill, dedication and professional integrity of OIG staff, and by the willingness of Department managers to work cooperatively with us to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the Department's operations and programs.
The last several months have indeed been challenging ones for this Department and for the Office of Inspector General, but as we transmit this report, there are hopeful indications of better times ahead. I look forward to continued progress on the critical issues that have been identified during this and prior periods, as together we work to achieve our mutually reinforcing goals of educational excellence and equality of educational opportunity for the nation's learners, and program efficiency, effectiveness and integrity for the nation's learners and taxpayers.
Thomas R. Bloom

In February of 1999, Carole and Juli Sund and Silvina Pelosso were missing while on a sightseeing trip to Yosemite National Park. While they were missing, Francis and Carole Carrington, Carole Sund's parents, established rewards both for their safe return and for information on the whereabouts of their rental car. They believe that posting the reward money and receiving media attention on their case helped in locating the rental car, which gave them their first break in the case. It was for this reason the Carrington's established Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation. The Foundation's goal is to safely return missing persons to their homes and to secure the arrest and conviction of violent criminals. The Carrington's hope is to turn their tragedy into triumph for other families.
After the violent death of their daughter Carole Sund, grand-daughter Juli, and Silvina Pelosso in the spring of 1999, Francis & Carole Carrington decided that anything they could do to prevent violent criminals from going free would be worth the effort.
In that light the Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation was founded to help families without economic means to offer rewards for information in order to help law enforcement officials locate missing loved ones.
"This is one of our first steps in fighting back for ourselves and then fighting back … for the people who this reward fund is destined to help,"
~Ken Sund, Carole Sund's brother-in- law.

Hi Guys,
I have raised queens in probably one of the worst areas for queen rearing in the US. The season is short, night temperatures are cool and it's often very hot and windy during the day. And the pollen flows are intense but sporadic. I suspect that a poor to average location, for most beekeepers, would be better than our best locations here. So keeping bees here, is not an easy task. And raising queens is even harder. But I've found a queen rearing method that works consistently. I've tested all the others and none are as easy, flexible or consistent as this one. It is based on Taber's new method with a few twists.
The queen is excluded to the bottom box one week before grafting. The day before grafting, a free fly, queenless, starter-finisher hive is setup in the location of the support hive and the support hive is rotated 180 degrees and set behind the cell rearer.
Cells are harvested on day 11(from the egg) at the same time as grafting and are placed in an incubator. These cells must be out before day 15.
For a commercial operation, two breeder hives are used with one for a backup. If enough bees are present, with the queen in a support hive, it could be used as a breeder. If less than a hundred larva are grafted, one of the support hives could be used as a breeder.
One week before grafting starts, the queen is excluding to the bottom box with the sealed brood and empty frames.
Two breeder hives are setup one grafting cycle before grafting actually begins to accustom the queen to laying inside the restrictor. Restricting the breeder queen is not needed if just a few hundred larva are grafted.
Two days before grafting, sealed brood is moved to the top box, larva to the middle box, and empty frames, and frames with eggs are put in the bottom box with the queen. All bees are brushed off any frame going above the excluder. A feeder is inserted on the left side of the top box and another inserted on the right side of the bottom box. A grafting frame filled with cups for polishing and a pollen frame is refreshed and placed in the top box.
One day before grafting, the support hive is broken apart. The top box is placed on a bottom board, in the original location of the support hive. This is the free flying,queenless, starter-finisher. The bottom box with the queen is faced 180 degrees and placed behind the starter-finisher. This is the support hive. Shake additional nurse bees from the middle box to reinforce the starter-finisher. Fill both feeders with 1 quart of 6:4 sugar syrup. Place the middle box on top of the support hive and close them up.
Standard field grafting procedures, are used starting as early in the morning as possible, or just before sunset. Bees are brushed not shaken off a breeder frame which is wrapped in a warm, moist towel and plastic wrap. The towel must be moist and not soaked to prevent water from dripping into the frame and drowning the larva. Grafting is done while sitting in the shade and a headlamp is used to illuminate the larva. A magnifying visor and Chinese grafting tool are used to graft the larva. A finger is moved and used to touch the next cell to be grafted. After 3 or 4 cells are grafted, they are covered with a portion of a warm, moist, towel.
In my location, I graft two bars/hive/cycle. In a good queen rearing location more bars could probably be grafted.
A sealed frame of brood is inserted into the starter-finisher at every graft. It is obtained above the excluder in the support hive. Additional young bees can obtained by shaking them off of the open larva frames from the same box on the support hive.
The pollen frame is refreshed and a honey frame scratched and inserted if needed. An entrance feeder can be used in an emergency.
Spurious cells are cut from the starter-finisher one week after the first graft.
A honey frame is scratched and each feeder, in both starter-finisher and support hive, is filled with a quart of 6:4 sugar syrup and the pollen frame refreshed at each graft.
Support Work
The support hive is worked in the typical fashion. Unsealed larva are rotated above the excluder. Empty frames/surplus sealed frames are rotated to the below with the queen.
The cell rearer is opened. Each frame is searched for spurious cells. The pollen frame is refreshed.
Once every two weeks, the position of the support hive and the starter-finisher are switched. This is best done when both hives are broken apart during grafting. With some types of bees, a weekly rotation might be needed to prevent laying workers.

UTSA women's club soccer claims national bid
By Mario Rios
Assistant Director of Campus Recreation

The team accomplished their feat at the Region IV South Tournament at the University of Texas at Austin the weekend of Oct. 31-Nov. 2. The national tournament will be Nov. 20-22 at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. It is the first time any club soccer team at UTSA has clinched a bid to the national tournament. The national bid game victory improved their overall record this year to 8-1-2.

When the night before, you have an assignment you didn't finish for school, and the news says that it is going to snow that night. You don't believe them, but then next morning you look out that window and everything is covered in white.

Wonderful stay in Muizenberg! Wow, amazing views of the ocean and very private, secure room. It was comfortable and made more so by Suzette who took the time each day and evening to look after us, give us guidance and friendship. We will be returning to the Cape Town area next month and expect to visit again.
One great thing is that "A Heavenly View 3" is so convenient to the town of Muizenberg and a short walk from restaurants , services, surf and other services. We met many friendly and interesting people in town as well. As we had a car, the trip to Cape Town city center is very direct and quick. All around you could not ask for more. Thanks Suzette!

Sewer backup often occurs when storm water enters the sanitary sewer and causes an overload of water in the system. The overloaded system begins to backflow into household lines, causing sewer water to enter basements.One way to prevent sewer backup in your home is to plug or cap all sewer openings in the basement. This includes floor drains, toilets, sinks, showers, etc. After lifting toilets and taking off sink traps, you can cap openings with wooden plugs, expandable plugs, screwed caps or by other methods.
Reporting sewer backupSewer trouble should be reported to the Fargo Street Department to make sure there are no problems with the city line:

At last week's Frontiers in Optics meeting, I attended the first meeting of OSA's Network of Entrepreneurs (ONE), a new group intended to connect optics students and young professionals with mentors who are scientist-entrepreneurs.
This post shares advice that was given at the event on how to jump into the startup world. The speakers included Greg Quarles, president and chief operating officer of B.E. Meyers; Michelle Holoubek, director in the electronics group at the intellectual property law firm Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox; and Tom Baer, executive director of the Stanford Photonics Research Center at Stanford University, cofounder of Arcturus Bioscience Inc. and 2009 OSA President.
Like a startup, ONE is still in development. Its organizers, including Bright Futures bloggers Brooke Hester and Danny Rogers along with Armand Niederberger of Stanford, are seeking volunteers to grow the program. Please contact Brooke, Danny or Armand if you are interested in joining this new community.
Greg Quarles: How to Act Like an Entrepreneur
Have clarity. Know why you do what you do. Successful entrepreneurs have a purpose, cause or belief that exists above and beyond the products or services they sell.
Have discipline. You must understand not only what product or service you plan to offer but how you intend to do it. Business owners cannot simply demand that their team "make it so," in the fashion of Captain Jean Luc Picard on Star Trek. They must hold themselves and their teams accountable to a defined set of guiding principles or values.
Be consistent. Everything you do and say must prove what you believe. In this sense, YOU are the product—a critical part of your own brand. The product should reflect your core values, and you should adopt a winning attitude in all areas of developing your business. If you don't believe in what you're doing, how can others?
Michelle Holoubeck: Why Intellectual Property MattersIntellectual property (IP) includes trade secrets, patents, copyrights and trademarks. Every fledgling entrepreneur should learn the fundamentals of IP to protect their growing business because it enables you to:
Guard your ideas and establish a competitive edge. IP is the only way that small companies can contend with larger ones on an otherwise skewed playing field. For example, when Microsoft was shown to have used XML technology that was patented by the small company i4i in one of its product releases, the software giant was ordered to pay i4i to the tune of several hundred million dollars.
Promote investments. Because funders want to protect their investments, they are unlikely to finance startups that have not developed IP safeguards.
Encourage disclosure of new ideas. Sharing exactly how a company's products or processes work in a patent helps to drive further innovation in the marketplace, and it enables businesses and consumers to easily distinguish among different products and services.
Also keep in mind:• Publically disclosing your invention—by describing it at a conference, for example—before filing a patent application may limit your ability to protect your invention.
• If you disclose some of your invention, you must disclose it all. You can't keep the best components a secret.
• You don't have to actually make an invention to patent it; you just have to describe how you would make it.
• Not everyone who works on a product is an inventor. Incorrectly attributing inventorship to someone who did not play a real role can damage your patent.
Tom Baer: Know your Market FirstContrary to popular belief, a product idea is not required to start a successful company. Here's the process that worked for Tom:
Identify a market. A couple years ago, Tom worked with a team to develop the Stanford spinoff Auxogyn—without a specific product idea in mind. Instead, the team started by targeting the area of assisted reproduction, a market that is growing by about 20 percent per year, with about 1 in 6 couples facing infertility.
Look for people who can build your company. For Auxogyn, this included a diverse group of medical doctors, developmental biologists, engineers, imaging experts and others. Look for those with the skills you lack.
Study the market. Talk with customers and assess other businesses in your niche. How do they work? What will give your company a differentiable edge?
Find and develop your idea. As you do your homework, your idea will emerge. Once it does, create product models to show your customers and incorporate their feedback into the next version. For its product, Auxogyn ultimately decided on imaging platforms that monitor the developmental process of embryos in an incubator—allowing for the selection of the healthiest ones for in vitro fertilization.
Delay financing as long as possible. Once you have the right ideas and the right market, you can find investors. If you fail, it's better to fail early—before you've invested significant time and funding into product development and pilot production.

Oaks Bottom Habitat Enhancement Project
The Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge is a 170 acre complex of meadows, woodlands and wetlands on the east bank of the Willamette River just north of the Sellwood Bridge. The refuge is the largest remaining natural area within the lower Willamette River floodplain and provides important habitat for fish and wildlife, including threatened salmon and over 175 bird species.
Oaks Bottom supports many wildlife species that are considered "special status" because they are in decline on a regional or statewide scale. These include 44 bird species, three bat species and one amphibian.
Portland Parks & Recreation manages the site as an important habitat area and an inviting place to enjoy wildlife viewing in the heart of the city. The Springwater Corridor, a portion of the region's trail network, bisects the western edge of the refuge. A hiking trail and one hike/bike trail connect the refuge with two visitor parking lots and the Sellwood neighborhood to the east.
PP&R created the city's first wildlife refuge at Oaks Bottom in 1988 after a long history of environmental degradation at the site. Now Sellwood residents, schools and colleges, and groups such as Portland Audubon, the Urban Greenspace Institute and Willamette Riverkeeper work with the city to restore habitats at the refuge.
Project Description
Portland Parks & Recreation and Environmental Services are working together on design of a large scale habitat enhancement project to benefit wildlife and people. The project will enhance 75 acres of wetland habitat by:
- Replacing the existing culvert with a larger box culvert to enhance fish passage and significantly improve the flow of Willamette River water in and out of the refuge
- Excavating tidal slough channels and enhancing wetland habitats at the southern end of the refuge to provide off-channel refuge for ESA-listed salmon
- Removing invasive vegetation, such as purple loosestrife, and revegetating with native species to improve wildlife habitat
- Enhancing opportunities for environmental education and interpretation of the refuge from the Springwater on the Willamette Trail
- Design: 2009-2016
- Construction: Summer 2018
Short-Term Impacts, Long-Term Benefits
The Springwater Trail will close for up to 120 days in summer 2018. Bicyclists and pedestrians will detour to surface streets.The closure will create heavier use on other Oaks Bottoms trails in sensitive wildlife areas. Trail users are required to stay on trails, leash dogs and respect Oaks Bottom wildlife. When the project is completed, trail improvements will include two new wildlife viewing platforms.

[quote user="dezzzR"]Good weekend. You guys?
Well....I broke my glasses again....lol
I was keepin' the peace at the bar, and I wasn't even involved, i was just basically standing in a wall, keep the kids brawling in the street, we didnt want them to hurt anyone not involved, and some kid was like holding me back (idk, maybe he thought i was gonna do something, which i wasnt, but whatever he seemed reasonable, trying to essentially do the same thign i was lol) and while that was going on, some kid was talking **** behind him to me for some reason, and while i was turned to my side to make sure my buddy was not getting messed up, the kid yelling suckpunched me right in the sideburn lol. it knocked my glasses off, but it didnt really hurt. I was like..."wtf? what just happened?! where did my glasses go!?" lol


text: Ok, so I have a 1995 K1500 5-speed, 4.3 V6. It has low power, particularly in 3rd and 4th gears. It is somewhat noticeable in 2nd gear from time to time. So far, I have replaced the following: fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, dismantled and cleaned the TBI. Fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap, button, knock sensor, coolant temp sensor, distributor, cleaned all electrical contacts, checked TPS on a scope. It doesn't matter if it is in closed loop mode or not. It is MUCH more noticeable when running the A/C. I also notice the presence of gas on the inside of the air cleaner lid. I have replaced the MAP sensor, EGR valve, EGR solenoid, coil... I have no check engine light warnings. I am totally stumped on this one.

Budget cuts may affect family planning clinics
MISSOULA, Mont. - Developments in the state legislature have some worried that family planning clinics could be hit hard.
What happened Monday afternoon will likely lead to a showdown between Democrats and Republicans.
We learned from our affiliate station in Helena that Democrats want to restore $4 million to the state's main budget bill. That money had been cut earlier by a budget subcommittee because some of the funding goes to clinics run by Planned Parenthood which provides abortions.
A Democrat from Missoula pushed back, but her amendment to get the money back in the budget died by one vote in the House Appropriations Committee.
The debate over federal funding that goes to Planned Parenthood has continued for years. It was a similar situation two years ago when the Montana House voted to remove nearly the same amount of funding but then the Senate voted to put the money back in.
This time around House Bill 2 didn't make it that far. Republicans opposed the bill saying it goes against federal regulation, or Title X, which says federal money cannot be used to provide abortions.
Some public health officials told NBC Montana that funding cuts will affect health centers that don't even perform abortions.
We talked to with Representative Champ Edmunds (R-Missoula) who sits on the House Appropriations Committee. He told us they are looking at ways to separate funding for clinics that do and do not perform abortions.
"Right now we're taking steps to figure out how to fund organizations that provide for women's health care that don't provide abortions, without funding ones that do," said Edmunds. "There are many people out there that feel like their tax dollars funding an abortion is not the use they want to see of their tax dollars."
Edmunds tells NBC Montana House Bill 2 still has to go through the Montana House and the Senate before it gets to Gov. Steve Bullock's desk, but supporters of the bill tell us they're hopeful Bullock will veto House Bill 2 if the $4 million for family planning clinics isn't restored.

The identities of two men found shot to death in the backyards of neighboring homes on Carlotta Circle in Strawberry were confirmed Friday as detectives sought to unravel the mystery enveloping the murder-suicide case.
Theodore "Ted" Charles Rodden, 61, was slain in the backyard of his residence at 154 Carlotta Circle.
Andreas Kreiden, 41, of Calistoga, was found dead in the backyard of his parents' home next door at 152 Carlotta, a rifle at his side.
Detectives believe the killings on Carlotta Circle are just what they appear to be: murder-suicide.
The identities of the two were disclosed Friday by Lt. Keith Boyd, the county's assistant chief deputy coroner.
Rodden worked as the sound man at Rancho Nicasio, a restaurant and live music club in West Marin, for 16 years. Rancho owner Bob Brown was devastated by the killing, saying "it's the most unbelievable thing I can possibly imagine."
"He's been my right arm for 16 years," Brown said. "He mixed the sound, he did the lights. He loved music so much I think he would have done this job for free. Every musician who came here loved this guy. They couldn't wait to see Ted. It's family out here. Everybody who works here is part of our family."
A musician himself, Rodden, who played mandolin and guitar, was scheduled to perform at Rancho Nicasio in October with his wife, Kaye. They played the club once a year, billing themselves as the Roddens.
"Everybody in my band is just sick about it," said musician Danny Click, a frequent performer at Rancho Nicasio. "He was such a wonderful guy."
Boyd said he was unable to provide other details of the investigation and referred inquiries to Lt. Doug Pittman, the sheriff's office spokesman.
Pittman noted detectives are continuing their probe into the deaths in adjacent backyards of the quiet neighborhood perched on a hill overlooking the Strawberry Village Shopping Center.
"All information and evidence collected so far indicates these deaths may be attributed to a murder-suicide but the investigation is far from over," he said. The lieutenant indicated there is no cause for alarm about a gunman at large.
"The sheriff's office wants to reassure the residents and Strawberry community of Mill Valley that there is no indication of any other persons involved other than those already identified in our investigation, and that there is no suspect or persons of interest at large."
County detectives, who were investigating the shooting death of a resident found in the backyard of 154 Carlotta Circle about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, discovered the body of another man next door at 152 Carlotta on Thursday morning. A fence separates the two yards.
Lt. Boyd reported that Kreiden was a Calistoga resident. It appears that he was visiting or otherwise staying at the home of his parents, who have owned the residence at 152 Carlotta since 1968. They were out of town.
Officials had no details on the relationship of the two men, or definitive word on whether there had been turmoil involving them.
"I'm unaware of any ongoing dispute between them," Pittman said early Thursday shortly after detectives launched the investigation. "We're trying to figure out what we have here."
IJ reporter Paul Liberatore contributed to this report.

Nastiest Reality TV Feuds: Mariah Carey Vs. Nicki Minaj & More
Nicki Minaj threatened Mariah Carey on the set of 'American Idol' : "If I had a gun, I would shoot the b**ch," according to Mariah in an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters, revealed on 'The View' Thursday, Oct. 4. Click through the pics to see the nastiest reality TV feuds of all time!
The explosive American Idol fight between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, revealed on video, will go down in history as one of the nastiest reality TV fights EVER!
Barbara spoke directly to Mariah on Oct. 4 and the longtime journalist shared Mariah's feelings on today's episode of The View, telling viewers that Mariah said, "What you heard was troublesome. What the real problem is is that when Nicki walked off the set, multiple people heard Nicki say 'If I had a gun, I would shoot the b**ch.' She was overheard by several producers and hairdressers. Nicki has not apologized. There was a meeting yesterday morning [Oct. 3] and after, Nicki said 'I love you, but we may fight again,' and I said 'no, we won't.'"
Mariah told Barbara, "I don't feel comfortable emotionally, but I love the show and mentoring contestants."
While the feud on the set of American Idol is a bit surprising, heated fights on The Real Housewives franchise are nothing new. You can name any cast member and put them against Teresa Giudice on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Tonight's Oct. 7 episode of the RHONJ reunion (part 2) is bound to get even nastier than last week's episode! And we love every minutes of it!
Of course, reality TV feuds don't stop with The Real Housewives franchise. Look through our gallery and tell us which feud YOU think is the nastiest!
How do YOU feel, HollywoodLifers? Which reality TV feud is the nastiest?

Bumming around Palma
Spent a day wandering around Palma... The city is quite large, and so I stuck mostly to the old areas of 'tourist' interest. There are churches, a cathedral, plazas and museums all over the place, but being there on a Sunday meant that I was limited in what I could see and do. Many thinks remain lose forgave reduced hours on Sundays, something that seems to be less common in North America but still prevalent in many other places. Being that I prefer architecture over spending ...
Can't ditch the last bike day!
So there was an option to get in a last ride before heading out Saturday to Plama... I opted for the shorter (50km) ride as the other option was 95km! This shorter version was set to ensure that folks who had early afternoon flights would be able to make them... Or those who didn't feel like doing another full ride could also participate :) Now, being a shorter ride, I thought perhaps it might be a flatter ride... Not a chance! ...
There are good days and bad days, even on vacation
... more was daunting... And I was already working at the back of the pack. Can I tell what a 20min break and the best slice of apple pie/cake I've had in a long time can do for your psyche? Pause, stretch, refocus, regroup, and off you go again. I did make it through, and 6hrs after heading out we were back at the hotel where I promptly had something to eat and had a nap pool-side on my own :) I don't for a minute regret going on ...
The Cake Route
... incentive to get out there, and enough to time to burn it off on the way back :) PS while I would have liked to sneak away with such a beautiful pie, there was no way it was going to fit in my back pocket for the ride home... Nor would I likely have been able to out-ride some of the speed demons that are in the group to maintain possession of this prize for long once we were back out on the ...
Chill down day
A drive along the coast to Santinyl beach for lunch and a swim in the sea for Tony. Afternoon by the pool before dinner in a local restaurant. Very early start tomorrow as need to drop car off and be at airport for 5am for our flight to Venice via Madrid. Dad leaves resort in a taxi at lunchtime tomorrow for a late afternoon flight to ...

The Winery is perhaps best known, however, for the "Tomasello Fruit Wine Portfolio", a line of 100% naturally fermented fruit wines (Red Raspberry, Blackberry, Blueberry, Cranberry and Cherry) which are sold throughout the US and exported to a number of foreign countries. These wines are intense in their fruit character and are used as dessert wines, reduced in the sauté pan for entrée sauces, incorporated into baking recipes, in mixed drink concoctions and in kirs with sparkling wines.

About Other Washington
A few other appellations in Washington include:
Puget Sound, which grows some lesser-known grapes like Muller-Thurgau and Madeleine Angevine, is less known for quality wines and better liked for being a tourist attraction.
Red Mountainsub-appellation runs along the eastern part of Yakima Valley. It's best for red varietals and is constantly growing in quality and popularity.
About Other USEvery state in the United States makes wine. That's not to say that every wine is good, nor is every wine made from grapes. Hawaii ferments pineapples, while Connecticut makes wines from their well-known berry farms. But almost every state has at least one vineyard trying to make wine from grapes. Those who are most successful, beyond California, Washington, Oregon and New York are:
VirginiaWine in Virginia has come a long way since Thomas Jefferson unsuccessfully planted vinifera grapes at his home in Monticello. Our third president, known as the first American wine connoisseur, spent a good amount of time touring vineyards in France, hoping he could replicate the vineyards in Virginia. May not have been successful 200 years ago, but today, the Commonwealth of Virginia is home to over 150 wineries.
Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are the most widely planted white and red grapes. Other success stories include Cabernet Franc, which does very well on Virginia soil, producing wines that are ripe and round, snuffing out the vegetal tendencies of this varietal. Viognier may be the next big white, making some lovely aromatic, yet dry, white wines.
New MexicoChampagne region after all), Gruet is now a nationally recognized wine. The wines are delicious and one of the best deals in sparkling wine. The family makes a range of wines - from the ethereal and efferevesant blanc de blancs to the more full-bodied blanc-de-noir to the slightly sweet demi-sec.
New Mexico is now home to nineteen wineries. While none are as large as Gruet, more winemakers are realizing that the warm day and cool night combination in the state has great potential for great wine.Other states worth trying include North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Idaho and Michigan.

Best thread on any forum I have ever read..even read them to my wife...
Best thread on any forum I have ever read..even read them to my wife...
When I was a mechanic, whenever we got a grease stain on someones upholstery, we would use brake cleaner and a rag. It didn't cause discoloration and it got all the grease and oil off every time. Good luck.
I have enjoyed reading this thread as well. I laugh at some of the responses while I find similar situations familiar to me. Honesty is a good choice, as our wives seem to know how to fix many of our messes. Best wishes and luck to help with the situation. Updates please.
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
Greg Whitehead, Ten Mile, TN

Try an old rag and a hot Iron. It works for wax it may work for propolis?
Well no one named this one so here it is Oops Cleaner (http://www.sherwin-williams.com/home...r-and-cleaner/) you can also find it on E-bay & Amazon. this stuff will remove almost anything from anywhere!
Warning it will not remove stupid, I'm still looking for something for that!
nobull56 , That oops looks promising. I have some other propolis stains on the rug in my van I may test some of the oops and that http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?...llow&cId=PDIO1 on it. This thread is helping me strategies for my own messes. I'm sure I'll get propolis on our rug eventually. I hope Beewhisper found something that worked for him.
I really would get a carpet professional. I know funds dictate but it is new carpet. I have had a carpet guy tell me that "yah I could have gotten it out but because you used XYZ it set the stain and now there is not much I can do". Most will come out for free and at least give you some advice. I actually had one come out once and got rid of a spot for free. I gave him a 20 for lunch on me.
I'd go with the dry ice followed by a vacuum. But did he live?
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. This stuff works well. Same principle as dry ice, but in a handy spray can. DO NOT get it on your skin.
Ive been in the plumbing trade for a long time, we have used Afta spot romover on several occasions for tar and oils, it reminds me of dry cleaner fluid....i'm not sure how well it will work on the propolis but i'd give it a try..also Resolve carpet cleaner is great stuff and carburator/brake cleaner removed spray painted graffiti vandalizm off hand painted truck lettering...see link for the Afta..try a good hardware store near you. http://www.superkleendirect.com/k2r-spot.aspx
I did not get to try the dry ice, special cleaners, or brake cleaner. WD-40 did not work either. However, I was able to try various things on different spots, and the one thing I tried that worked (with a little scrubbing) was Isopropyl Alcohol. It needed to be well saturated, and with a small brush, scrubbed until it was gone. While it was still wet with alcohol, I used a cloth to soak up the excess. The rest evaporated quickly; leaving a clean carpet.
My wife was happy for the news, and I am certain it will be inspected upon her return. Yet, I will certainly give the credit to all my fellow beeks for the wise counsel and gut splitting humor, not to mention the great ideas. I would say that I would like to try all the other great cleaners, etc. but I choose to walk AROUND the house instead of through the house from here on out, so if I try any other product, it will have to be on something else.
No one famous.

Students will check in Sunday, July 27 at the Chisholm Hall residence facility before beginning a week of field trips filled with scientific discovery in San Antonio, San Marcos and Houston. The students return to UTSA on Thursday and Friday to participate in the "Robotics Challenge" and closing ceremony.
Sponsored by Gov. Rick Perry and the Texas Workforce Commission, the five-day residential summer camp brings together the first- and second-place finishers in the ExxonMobil Texas Science and Engineering Fair (EMTSEF), which was in April at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio.
Designed for participants to experience real-world science applications across the state, the academy has daily field trips to various destinations in San Antonio as well as visits to Natural Bridge Caverns in New Braunfels, Aquarena Springs in San Marcos and ExxonMobil in Houston. The students will use global positioning systems to guide them to their destinations.
With the theme "Fluids in Earth's Crust," the camp will emphasize oil, gas and water resources. The students will have the opportunity to witness how geoscientists look into the Earth's crust.
In addition to the field trips, participants will work on robotics projects using Lego Mindstorm kits. The kits allow students to assemble a robot, program a series of commands and use it to complete a variety of tasks including moving objects to target locations. The academy will close with a competition showcasing robots designed and built by the students.
"This academy aligns with the UTSA College of Sciences mission to establish a scientifically literate community through education and research," said George Perry , dean of the UTSA College of Sciences.
Organizers include Stuart Birnbaum , EMTSEF director and UTSA associate professor of geological sciences; Alan Dutton , UTSA Department of Geology chair; Pam Colby , UTSA College of Engineering program manager; and Tony Rivera and Kai Kamaka , UTSA College of Sciences.
Serving more than 5,000 students enrolled in nine undergraduate degree programs and 15 graduate programs, the UTSA College of Sciences is poised to prepare the next generation of scientists for careers in business, technology and academia. The college houses six departments: biology, chemistry, computer science, geological sciences, mathematics, and physics and astronomy.

Former Air Force chaplain pleads guilty to child sex assault
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Retired Air Force chaplain David Grosse, 79, plead guilty to one count of sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust Monday.
Grosse was originally facing four counts of child sex assault and took a plea deal.
Court documents indicate Grosse targeted young girls who were relatives or close family friends, and asked him not to talk about what was happening so he wouldn't get in trouble.
Four people recounted multiple incidents with Grosse in which he reportedly touched them inappropriately, laid with them in bed, or visited them in the bathroom. In some of those cases, the victims said Grosse was naked.
Grosse spent 30 years in the Air Force as a chaplain. He retired in 1993 with a Legion of Merit award. One social media site in Grosse's name indicates that he spent most of that time in Colorado Springs but does not detail when he may have been out of the state, other than for education.
Grosse received secondary and seminary education at several schools including Yale University Divinity School, Eastern Nazarene College and Nazarene Theological Seminary through the 1950s and early 60s. In the 1970s, Grosse attended Boston University School of Education.
He'll be sentenced in August.

Jordi SavallView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Jordi Savall is among the leading instrumentalists and conductors of the European early music scene, specializing in Renaissance and medieval music. He began studying music when he was six, learning cello and pursuing that instrument at the Barcelona Conservatory. He took an interest in early music, and began learning the viola da gamba. That instrument possesses approximately the same range and similar playing technique as the cello, but instead of being a member of the violin family is part of the related, older family of stringed instruments, the viol family, visually most easily distinguished from their cousins by their sloping shoulder lines. As its name denotes, the instrument, smaller than a cello, is ordinarily held in the lap. Savall also gained proficiency in the various members of the viola family. He studied that instrument and early music research and practice with Wieland Kuijken in Brussels and August Wenziger at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, obtaining a diploma as soloist and professor in 1970. In 1973 he succeeded to Wenziger's position. In 1968 he had married the soprano Montserrat Figueras, who shared his interest in early music. With her and other musicians interested in early Spanish music, he founded in 1974 the ensemble Hespèrion XX. The ensemble took its name from an ancient name for the Western European region from Italy to Iberia; Hespèrion was also a name for Venus as the Evening Star (in which aspect it appears only in the western skies). He and Hespèrion XX quickly became well known in early music circles. They created a unique sound through the use of viols and other medieval instruments such as the psaltery, wooden flutes, Moroccan drums, and the Afghan rebec (a double-reed ancestor of the oboe). All these instrument are known to have been used by medieval musicians, particularly in the Mediterranean region. Savall became internationally known through his playing on the soundtrack of Alain Corneau's film Tous les Matins du Monde (All the Mornings of the World), concerning the French viol players of the Baroque era. Savall has extended his area of musical interest into the Baroque, leading performances of Orfeo by Monteverdi and Il Burbero de Buion Cuore by Martin y Soler, and in the late 1990s conducted Beethoven's Eroica symphony with Le Concert des Nations (a group he founded in 1989 for Baroque music), winning praise for his well-researched and groundbreaking interpretation. He also founded Le Capella Reial de Catalunya in 1987, an ensemble of instrumentalists and vocal soloist. He has recorded around a hundred releases, mostly on the Astrée Auvidis label, receiving the Diapason d'Or award. ~ Joseph Stevenson

#SassySocialite - Finding Your Salon's Social Persona
The famous sales guru, Zig Ziglar once said, "lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem." That couldn't be truer for social media. You don't have to master every single social platform to be great at social media. You just have to master your niche and then OWN IT.
At Style Sync, we often hear, "I don't have time for Social Media" or "I can't keep up with all the changes." All of which is true, if you are trying to master everything social, all at once. But there's the problem, you don't need to be everything to everyone to be good at social media. Know where your audience (your clients) are and meet them on THOSE platforms. The very nature of social media is the idea of a timely conversation based on the brand - or personality of your salon. To help you decide which platforms to focus on, the team at Style Sync has developed a 'social persona' equation to point you in the right direction.
Each of these personalities mesh with a specific platform marrying up salon style and business goals. Our first persona to explore is the "The Socializer," whom we have deemed the as our #sassysocialite.
The Socializer persona embodies a business owner or stylist who is looking to build and establish a community around their salon. To build a community, you need numbers and Facebook is a great platform for expanding your salon's reach in a local community.
How do you know if you're a socializer? Well, a socializer loves to 'stay in the loop,' and always knows what's going on with her clients and community. Do people come to you for advice? Are you a bit of a Chatty Cathy? Then maybe YOU fit the profile of the #sassysocialite.
The Socializer's main tool is Facebook where you can share photos, post contests and interact with fans of your page. Now to become the #sassysocializer you need to create a plan of attack and focus on building your Facebook community on and offline to build a dialogue with your clients.
Once you have mastered your art of socializing, Facebook serves as a great content platform and even links well to other social media platforms. But first things first, focus on mastering the ins and out of Facebook and build your network once conversation at a time. Don't worry, it's not a popularity contest. The quality of the interactions with your followers is much more valuable than the number of followers you have.
If you're not a #SassySocialite never fear! We have 4 more social personalities to unveil and you are sure to fit the bill! Stay tuned for more, but in the mean time, be sure to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter!

I have wanted one of these for a couple of years, but the $3,500.00 price tag was a bit steep. DSA put a few of these up on gunbroker last week. I called my contact there and got this one hand select for $2,000.00 it is in excellent condition and the bbl looks new. I can't wait to sort it all out and put all the sub assemblys together.
figuring out a semi conversion will be a good winter project.

Did I do that?

That is a nice looking kit. But what's a MAG58? Never heard of it before.

WOW! That is GREAT! You are one lucky juy. That is the ultimate GPMG! I used one extensively in Iraq in 2003 and they are a great gun to be behind. When you need it, they will work! As for a semi conversion, should be interesting. It fires from an open bolt with a fixed firing pin. Keep us informed!
A trigger housing that looks suspiciously like an MG42 and does that look like a PK style carrier? Hard to tell from the pics. That missing the RHSP suggests you'll need to machine a 1919 semi-only notch into the carrier somewhere. I'm sure you'll figure it out

Neighbors to ask for Rexburg dog park
REXBURG, Idaho - A group of dog owners is asking the city of Rexburg for a new dog park.
When you're as big as Atlas the Great Dane, it's nice to get out and stretch your long legs in a big, open space.
Atlas's humans said it's not always easy to go for a good jaunt in Rexburg.
"There's not a place in Rexburg that's fenced in and safe for dogs," said Erin Jarvis, Atlas's owner.
Jarvis said she worries that dogs could run from the city's parks and fields into the streets.
"The city doesn't want a bunch of dogs off leash," she said.
The nearest dog park, where dogs can run freely, is in Idaho Falls, more than 20 miles from Rexburg.
"It's hard for Rexburg citizens to drive down (to Idaho Falls) just to put their dog off leash," said Cami Smith, executive director of Snake River Animal Shelter.
Snake River Animal Shelter runs the dog park in Idaho Falls. The nonprofit is helping Jarvis and her fellow dog lovers go before the Rexburg City Council to ask for a dog park.
Smith and Jarvis hope they won't have to ask the city for any money.
"The Rexburg citizens' group that wants this dog park is doing fundraisers... to be able to afford that," Smith said.
"Rexburg boasts it's 'the family community,'" Jarvis said. "Dogs are part of the family, so help them out. Make it a family community, for real."
The Snake River Animal Shelter hasn't figured out how much money the dog park will cost. They hope to know more after they join Jarvis at the City Council meeting on Wednesday.

2006 might be weak in term of TES, but PCS should be close to slightly better.
Shizuka has one of the best LPs in recent memory in term of choreography. And who could forget her Y-spiral and her Ina Bauer into the 3 jumps combo. She was smooth as silk. I think Shizuka had more standout moments than Yuna in 2010. Moments that are still talked about many years down the line. And she had never done them in competition before, which made them oh so freaking awesome. Yuna was perfect, but I couldn't recall a signature move in her program.
Sasha had better programs than Mao. Mao was awesome with the 3As (these are the moments you hold your breath thinking will she land it) but apart from that, she was forgettable, just like Kim. I only remember the sheer determination to land the 3As, but that was it.
And Joannie is no Irina. Irina SP was like one of those Jason Statham movies, crank crank crank boom! She might not be your cup of tea, but she was flying out there.
2006 O, TES was weak, but it can hold its own. Now, 2002 was a mess. The winner wouldn't place top 5 in 2006 or 2010.
Irina's presentation of her SP was great in Turin (along with great technical elements of course), but her LP was simply awful in every respect the way it was skated that night, both technically and presentation. All her jumps landed high on her toepoints and barely held on to, barely finishing her spins and footwork hence why they got low levels, really slow, bad program which didnt suit her at all, and tired and lacking any of her usual energy or zest, along with being even sloppier than usual. Joannie, Nagasu, Lepisto, Flatt, from Vancouver all kill Slutskaya from Turin in the LP phase. The mere fact she probably would have won that night without her 2 major despite (she lost by less than 10 points, 8 points she would gain from the fall and tripled double, and one can assume her easily making up atleast another 2 points in PCS and GOE), despite the otherwise terrible performance and poor quality elements she performed that night apart from the 2 major misses, says it all about the standard of skating that event.
I agree Sasha had better programs in Turin than Mao in Vancouver, and Mao's programs were sadly far below her considerable artistic potential while under Tarasova. However the two, Mao from Vancouver and Sasha from Turin, skated head to head Mao would still absolutely crush Sasha based on way higher TES in both (and ridiculous as it might be Mao would probably even get the higher PCS too as we all know huge TES impacts PCS anyway). If one is just talking enjoyment factor, well that is subjective, but Sasha from Turin will mostly be remembered for the disapointment of falling twice and blowing a golden chance, story of her career, and that glosses over her otherwise beautiful LP in an artistic sense, while Mao will be remembered for making Olympic history with all those triple axels, and only losing to an unbeatable Kim.
Shizuka had a nice program but lets be real here, it wouldnt have won the Olympics any year the last two decades other than 1994 most likely. In 2010 or 1998 it might not have even won a medal of any color. She played it super safe, not doing the 3-3s since the others were falling is fine, but she could have atleast done 6 or 7 triples even without a 3-3 she didnt even do that. Even Sasha who is completely unable to do 3-3s and isnt a great jumper at all still tried 7 triples atleast, and Shizuka who can do 3-3s not only doesnt try one, but only tries 5 triples. Also while her program was nice it is not like is a historic artist like Kwan or Cohen to compensate for much lesser technical content. It doesnt stand out in history for either technical or artistic prowess, atleast her 2004 Worlds winning LP was much more of a standout.

Okay, but people are operating from the position that the only drama/narrative value is in the winner. I disagree with that contention. But, as kwanatic implied, it comes down to drama vs brilliance. I'd agree that 2010 was less dramatic than the earlier races. But I'd argue that the class of 2010 featured the greatest stretch of amazing performances from these athletes, which triumphs in my mind.
Here's a column by Seattle Times sports columnist Jerry Brewer http://seattletimes.com/html/jerrybr...brewer26.html:
So, the most-debated question of any Olympics has an answer now. Who should be the face of these Games?
Kim, for certain.
Not Lindsey Vonn, not Apolo Ohno, not Bode Miller.
Kim Yu-na.
Kim Yu-na.
Remember her name, and never forget how she dazzled the 2010 Winter Olympics. Remember her astounding agility, and never forget the tears she shed while gliding off the ice this night.
"I still can't believe my performance," she said. "Watching previous figure skaters, I always wondered why they cried after their performance. Crying for the first time today, I still don't know why I did."
Kim overwhelmed a worthy competitor, Mao Asada, of Japan, the silver medalist. She made you cheer when your heart said to give all your support to Canadian Joannie Rochette, who skated to a bronze medal just five days after losing her mother to a heart attack.
Kim won Korea's first gold medal in women's figure skating and its first gold in any Winter Olympics event other than speedskating. She was as electric as the stunning blue dress she wore, flawlessly executing triple flips, triple lutzes and double axels at full speed, landing so softly each time that it felt like you were watching a feather float to the ice. Then Kim would wow the crowd with her flexibility during combination spins.
The performance was so impossibly artful, so in tune with her musical selection George Gershwin's "Concerto in F."
How about that? A 19-year-old performed to a song written 85 years ago and matched its brilliance, maybe even amplified it. She truly is Queen Yu-na.
That's her nickname back home. On this night, she fulfilled all lofty expectations with her world-record 150.06 score. Combine that with a world-record 78.5 in Tuesday's short program, and you have a 228.56 total that's every bit as impressive as Usain Bolt running 100 meters in 9.58 seconds.

I'm with JL on this, pay the extra nickle.
Once upon a time the diff. between budget and commercial was size and condition of knots or woodwork irregularities. Now budget gets its own grade of wood, the open ends on the box cuts look like larger cells and more rapid growth.........if you dip your frames might not matter though.
imo its a nickle well spent for the diff. in what i got years ago and what i got last yr.

Image from Wikipedia: Anti-Proverbs. According to the page, anti-proverbs are also known as perverbs, and are transformations of proverbs for humorous effect.
It's good to know the really common English proverbs because you hear them come up in conversation all the time. Sometimes people say the entire proverb to give advice to a friend. More often, someone will say just part of a proverb like this: You know what they say: when the going gets tough...
