Bumping this up since it starts tomorrow.
Also, it looks like the event might be streamed by Statebuzz. The Quebec competition is showing up as a new item (actually, items, for the different rinks) in the drop down menu in the upper right-hand side on the Skatebuzz site. If they are actually streaming it, I believe this will be a first for this competition.
Check Syvlia's post above for the link to the schedule, which is on the event info page.
Well the Quebec event in senior pairs will be interesting - Duhamel/Radford, Takahashi/Tran and Dube/Wolfe...
Check out Julianne Seguin in Jr Ladies, she's off to her forst Jr Grand Prix assignment after this, beautiful young skater.
Here is Duhamel/Radford's short program:
And Takahashi/Tran:
Couldn't see Dube/Wolfe anywhere.
Dube/Wolfe didn't compete, though I haven't seen an explanation for their withdrawal.
Once again , I'm liking both those programs so much . Julie Marcotte is on a roll.
The New FS of Amelie Lacoste (not a fan of the blond hair, she looks better in brown )
I think that it's an improvment from last season considering that she did the triple lutz and the triple flip. Good for her!
I agree with Artsciboy. Lacostes program seemed to go downhill after the first element. She didn't even rotate her most consistent jump - 3 loop.
Personally I think that her PCS mark was inflated based on the technical performance.
mmhhh ...
D/R skate a very good sp - i liked it - high technical quality!
but the music?...mmmhhh i don`t know yet....
Did Andreanne Poulin & Marc-Andre Servant compete, by any chance? I saw there names on the entry list, but I can't for the life of me find the results page nor have I found videos of their programs on ustream.

4 / 4
Despite rainy weather and cool temperatures, many young bicyclists turned out for the fourth annual Bike Rodeo at Eagle View Elementary School on Saturday morning, May 4.
The bicyclists learned riding techniques and safety, including swerving, straight line riding, good stopping and slow riding.
Police officers and reserve officers were on hand to help children through the obstacle courses and teach them about bike safety. Trailblazer Bikes was also at the rodeo to service bikes.
Twelve Trailblazer bikes were given away in a drawing.
The Pequot Lakes PTA hosted the rodeo and gave the first 220 participants T-shirts and water bottles.

A hat trick by captain Stuart Broad, as part of four wickets in four balls, helped England to a comfortable 46-run win over a New Zealand XI in their T20 game at Cobham Oval today.
Having hit 186 for three, with major contributions from Jos Buttler (57 not out off 24 balls), Eion Morgan (48 not out off 32 balls) and Luke Wright (44 off 32 balls), England were in good shape.
The New Zealand XI were going well for a time, and Colin Munro's bracing 55 off 32 balls gave them some hope of catching England.
However Munro's departure at 136 to the final ball of the 18th over precipitated a dramatic collapse as Andrew Ellis, Ian Butler and Matt Henry departed to the next three balls from Broad without another run added.
The skipper finished with three for 22 off his four overs, with Chris Woakes getting three for 27 and Jade Dernbach three for 24.
The teams meet again at the same venue tomorrow.

Waipio Valley Lookout, Hawaii's Big Island
- Name: Waipio Valley Lookout
- What: Overlook showcasing a breathtaking and historic valley
- Where: At the end of the Hamakua Heritage Corridor drive
Located on the northern Hamakua Coast, the sacred Waipio Valley was the boyhood home of King Kamehameha I, and an important center for political and religious life in Hawaii. Not only is "The Valley of the Kings" an important site for Hawaiian history and culture, it's also a place of dramatic tropical beauty.
This fertile valley is about 1.6 kilometres across and over eight kilometres deep, and surrounded by cliffs up to 610 metres high. Waipio Valley was once the home of thousands of Native Hawaiians. Today, there are less than 100 residents living amongst the waterfalls, taro fields and rivers permeating the valley. Hawaii Island's tallest waterfall, Hiilawe Falls cascades down 400 metres in the back of Waipio.
You can view the valley from the coastal Waipio Valley Overlook at the end of the Hamakua Heritage Corridor drive, or you can take a guided van tour, hike, or horseback ride to explore the hidden wonders within. Tour guides will happily share the stories and legends of this special place. The road into the valley is extremely steep and requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle so driving isn't recommended (check your rental car agreement if you plan to make a trip to Waipio Valley).

The schoolyard sport of pencil fighting has gone pro.
That's right, kids. All those years of covertly cracking your friend's pencil at the back of the classroom were not spent goofing off. They were spent training. Training for "America's Fastest-Growing Deathsport™," the World Extreme Pencil Fighting Championships.
The WXPFL takes the childhood game of breaking another guy's pencil, karate-chop style, with yours to 11. Then it adds some distortion. And a wah pedal. This crazy mashup of pro wrestling and childhood brinksmanship is the genius of "The Professor" Jake Stratton.
A pencil was just a pencil for the good professor until four years ago when a friend, knowing how crazy the professor can be — he's also created Grudge Rock, where local bands throw down in a Family Feud-style quiz — asked him what he might do with a favorite childhood pastime. How about a NSFW pro wrestling league of gra-fighters hell-bent on breaking lead for the amusement of PBR-chugging fans?
"Pencil fighting combined all that I like," Stratton said. "Pro wrestling, MMA, the blood sports of the world."
It's perfect. Especially for Seattle, where bouts are held on the third Thursday of each month at a joint called Re-Bar.
"I want to do this all the [bleep] year long," he said.
The Professor is adamant in saying that, despite the blood feuds and convoluted storylines, bouts "are not staged at all. It's 100 percent legit." We can't vouch for that, but we can tell you it's 100 percent weird.
There are rules, and penalties. Everyone fights with a weapon pulled at random from a new pack of Ticonderoga No. 2s. The striker attempts to break a defender's pencil by whacking it with his, or her, unsharpened pencil. They're unsharpened because the Professor doesn't have insurance to cover sharpened pencils.
Competitors trade blows until someone's pencil snaps. Refs can call penalties for dropping a pencil, tilting a pencil, stalling for time, and, well there are more, but you get the idea. The fighter who's been fouled can then whack his opponent's pencil with a pencil of any size, so long as it's made of wood and you can actually write with it. Comically oversized pencils are the norm, wielded with theatrics befitting Lucha Libre.
Harry Bawles (groan) holds the championship belt. Characters (with names like Thaddeus P. Skrilla and Ronald McFondle) are so wildly politically incorrect and outlandishly costumed as to make pro wrestling appear understated. If pro wrestling is Jerry Seinfeld, extreme pencil fighting is Larry David. It's over the top, weird and wonderful.
And everyone thinks they can do it.
At one recent bout, some sucker bragged he was the pencil fighting champ of his middle school. "I'm still badass," he promised. The Professor lets no challenge go unanswered and brought the guy up on stage to face The Hooded Cobra. It wasn't even close. One whack of the pencil and the guy folded like origami.
"Everybody I bring it up to remembers playing pencil fighting as kid in school, whether they were good or not," the Professor said.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Company consoles owners by freeze-drying pets
Eddy's Wildlife Studio does close to 120 preservations a year
SLATER, MO. - Whether it is a large dog, a fat cat or even a chatty bird, the family pet can stay with their owners for eternity.
It may not be for everybody, but for those who wish to keep man's best friend at their side forever a central Missouri company has made a business out of it.
"You get attached to the darn things, and I think everybody that has a pet can identify with that," said Anthony Eddy who started freeze drying pets after a friend's request.
His company, Eddy's Wildlife Studio, does close to 120 pet preservations a year. Eddy admits it can be a difficult business.
"You have to have the right individuals working for you. It is much like bring a mortician. You not only preserve the body, but you deal with the grieving and comforting the family," he said.
However, his skill is not taxidermy - it is actually freeze drying the entire pet minus a few organs and body fat.
"The actual animal, muscle, bone, tissue, facial features and everything are still there, so you get the identity of that pet back," Eddy explained.
He realizes that some may find the process distasteful.
"It's not for everybody, but for those that wish that, we provide the service," he said.
There are just a handful of operations that do it nationally. Some say it is a little spooky while others are amazed just how real their passed-on pet looks.
"Some people just call us and thank us that we provide this service. In fact, we've had calls from Israel and Japan," Eddy said. "It's not unusual to see people weep again. That is an indication that you've done a good job."
The studio's 15 freeze dryers run up to $40,000 each and cost about $5,000 a month in electricity. Eddy says freeze drying pets is starting to become a worldwide sensation.
But freeze drying someone's pet is not a short process. Sometimes it takes between eight months to a year to freeze the animal, depending on size.
Eddy says his studio is currently back logged about two months, and the cost to freeze dry a pet starts around $850.

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II lens review: Updated design and new lower priceBy Kevin Carter - Friday July 26 2013 Lens Review
As the equivalent to a 150-600mm this lens perhaps more so than any other in the range demonstrates just how much smaller MFT mount lenses can be compared with APS-C format offerings. Read on to see how well this highly portable model performs.
This model is an update to the $899 M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm F4.8-6.7, and although most of the differences are cosmetic, the new lens features the firm's ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) lens coating to reduce flare and ghosting while also resisting scratches.
As with its predecessor, this model also has one Super ED glass element and two ED elements out of a total of 18 arranged in 13 groups and it has the firm's MSC AF technology for fast quiet AF. Minimum focus is just 0.9m (35.43inces).
Like other Olympus MFT lenses this one isn't image stabilized, relying instead on the stabilized sensor found on the PEN and OMD bodies. While this is off-putting for Panasonic camera users, which rely on in-lens stabilization, it means the Olympus versions are often more affordable. While that wasn't the case with model before, Olympus has reduced the price of this iteration to a much more accessible and competitive $549.

Rihanna's family want her to come home.
When she isn't working long days, the 24-year-old We Found Love hitmaker is partying the night away in clubs and bars across the globe, and her little brother Rorrey admits her nearest and dearest wish she would take some time off and return to Barbados.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "Ri tells us she is homesick and misses Barbados and the family a lot. I wish she'd come home and live here for a while.
"She's exhausted and sometimes works 13 hours a day. She started partying at 14 years old, going to clubs and drinking. It's the Caribbean island life. Everyone just has fun, you know what I mean.
"Ri loves to party and I'm the same. But if she looks depressed it's because of how hard she's been working and she needs to come home."
But it looks as though their wish could be a long way off coming true now that the singer is house-hunting in the UK, where she plans to spend the summer whilst filming a new fashion reality show.
A source said: "Rihanna is coming back to Britain to shoot her Sky Living reality show and has decided to settle down a bit while she's over.
"Although there may be occasional trips away she'll be based in London. Rihanna has instructed her team to find a mansion in or around the capital.
"Earlier this year she considered buying a property in east London but now she's looking elsewhere as she's decided the pad will need gates to keep away superfans and photographers."

There is a website that I was looking at for our 2013 Compensatory picks and if this is what are picks will go by.. then it sucks for us this year for good compensatory picks..
From contributor Jimmy Kempski of Blogging the BEeast:
In the 2012 draft, the Giants were awarded a 4th round compensatory pick. That pick would become Brandon Mosley. The way that compensatory picks are awarded is a complicated (and secret) process, but the basics of it are as follows:
1. Players that are cut or not tendered as RFAs and ERFAs are not counted.
2. Players earning minimum salaries do not count.
3. Each player signed cancels out one player lost.
4. The round of the pick awarded is primarily determined by the annual value of the contract signed. Signed players cancel out lost players with equal contracts, then lower contracts, before canceling out higher contracts.
With free agency movement pretty much complete, and the remaining unemployed players unlikely to get anything higher than the veteran minimums (which, as noted above, dont qualify for comp picks), lets take an early look at players the Giants signed/lost, and whether or not theyre likely to receive any compensatory picks in 2013.
Lost for minimum (does not qualify for compensatory pick): Jonathan Goff, Devin Thomas
Signed for minimum (does not qualify for compensatory pick): Stevie Brown, Antwaun Molden, Shaun Rogers, Chris Horton, Dante Hughes
Lost: Brandon Jacobs (1 year, $1.575 million), Mario Manningham (2 years, $7.5 million), Aaron Ross (3 years, $9.75 million), Dave Tollefson (2 years, $2.4 million)
Signed: Martellus Bennett (1 year, $2.5 million)
Compensatory pick projection: 3 picks. Bennett will cancel out either Ross or Jacobs. If he cancels out Jacobs (the more likely scenario), the Giants with get two 6th round picks for losing Manningham and Ross, and a 7 for losing Tollefson. However, if Bennett cancels out Ross, the Giants will only get one 6th round pick (Manningham), and two 7′s (Jacobs and Tollefson).

I found 3 frames that were ravaged by moths. I took the whole hive apart and scraped out all of the larvae. I put it back together and temporarily chucked the 3 frames in a garbage can with a lid. Now I have about 100 bees or so hanging out on the garage can.
Anyone have any advice for what to do with these frames?

Two teenagers injured in overnight Columbia shooting
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Police are investigating a shooting near the Columbia Mall early Sunday morning.
Around 12:37 a.m., officers responded to a shots fired called near Stadium Boulevard and Bernadette Drive in west Columbia. According to reports, several people reported hearing shots and seeing cars leave the area.
Just 10 minutes later, a local hospital reported two males, ages 17 and 18, being dropped off with gunshot wounds. Their names and conditions were not released.
ABC 17 News talked to businesses at the intersection and those witnesses said they saw two cars right before they heard gunshots. They told ABC 17 News after the shots were fired, the vehicles drove away.
An employee at Petro Mart told ABC 17 News more than a dozen people ran inside the store for safety after they heard the gunshots. According to that same employee, there was a girl caught in the crossfire after a bullet ricocheted and hit her car. The employee said he consoled the girl and said she was not injured.
Columbia police say there is no suspect description at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Columbia Police Department or CrimeStoppers at 573-875-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous.

You know how I like to start these columns with "back in the day," right? Well, back in the day, I'll tell you what, factory stereos sounded just terrible. If you wanted any bass in your car, any clarity, any anything, you had to go get a custom car stereo from the shop across town.
But 'round about the mid-1980s, I'd say, automakers started to realize that sound systems for a car could sound almost as good as custom audio sound in your living room. They started sticking graphic equalizers in there, subwoofers, you name it, and nowadays every carmaker's got great factory audio on tap. Of course, factory stereos will always be limited by the relatively small size of their components –you can't stick a four-foot-tall concert speaker in your car, unless you've got a sunroof–but there's no reason why you can't have excellent sound quality anyway. Also, cars have a natural advantage because they're perfect surround-sound environments. You just gotta make sure the speakers are making the right noises.
Thing is, with all the high-end factory stereos on the market today, it can be hard to keep 'em all straight. So since I'm lucky enough to get seat time in all the latest cars, I've put together a list of the top 5 factory stereos that you can buy right now. See what you think, and then come back and have at me in the comments. What's your favorite factory audio system ever? Have you heard any of the latest ones? Am I off my rocker? Let's talk it out.
Porsche Burmester
One of my favorite cars of all-time is the Porsche 911, but as any Porschephile will tell you, the 911 has rarely had a factory audio system to write home about. More often than not, you get bare-bones sound that makes you want to turn the darn thing off and just drive. That's never a bad idea in a Porsche, but with the new 911's optional Burmester stereo, now you've got options. This bad boy gives you 12 speakers, 800 watts of power, and clarity that you have to hear to believe.
Audi Bang & Olufsen
I'll tell you this upfront, Audi's Bang & Olufsen system doesn't sound as good as the Porsche Burmester. But it's not just about sound with this one. I sampled the "B&O" in an Audi A7, and I couldn't believe it, you turn the thing on and the tweeters rise up out of the dash with their own little motors! Now, it won't be so entertaining someday when those motors break and you gotta replace 'em, but meanwhile, what a show. And with 1,200 watts on tap, you may not quite have Burmester-grade sound, but you've definitely got power to spare.
Lexus Mark Levinson
Here's something Lexus won't like to hear: I actually like their older premium stereo lineup better. That range was made by Nakamichi, and it was Japanese electronics at its finest, bar none. I think that was the pinnacle. But the Mark Levinson lineup is a close second, and for a while in the early 2000s, it was pretty much the best factory audio in the world. As usual, the ultra-luxurious LS sedan has the showcase Levinson system, but you really can't go wrong with any stereo that's got the ML name on it.
Ford Mustang Shaker Pro Audio
You didn't think I could get through a whole column without mentioning a muscle car, did ya? Listen, any muscle car worth its salt needs a thumping stereo, and the Shaker Pro Audio setup hits all the right notes for me. The Shaker's got a big ol' subwoofer that never sounds stressed, and there's an iPod/USB input to keep up with the times. You won't get a whole lot of clarity or tonal separation here, but you can crank it to eleven all day, and in a Mustang, that's what really matters.
Volkswagen Dynaudio
Surprised to see a VW on this list? So was I, at first, but when I thought about all the Dynaudio factory stereos I'd sampled in VW products, I realized they're just consistently great performers. Whether you get it in the GTI hot hatch or the Touareg luxury crossover, Dynaudio's gonna give you a real crisp, tight sound that just sounds different from the norm.
And there you have it, folks. Come on now, which five would you have picked? Let's hear it.

I started keeping a couple hives in a friend's yard this year. Looks like at least one of the colonies will produce enough surplus honey to harvest and sell. I'd like to offer something to him in appreciation, but not sure what? Do I give him a portion of the harvest (how much)? Do I give him a portion of the profit (again, how much)? He's not offered nor been asked to assist in the beekeeping work; just to let me use his yard.
What arrangements do you typically make?
Thanks in advance,

Glitz of Formula One must not divert attention from Bahrain's jailed journalists
When the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) hosted Formula One for the first time in 2004, it was nearly a false start for the $150 million facility. Drivers told the BBC they feared desert sand would damage their racecars. So track employees began a perpetual fight against nature, even spraying glue over the surrounding desert in the hope of keeping it at bay.

here is a pic of my bike.
1961 black Jag
wow... thats some rake on that springer in the first pic. is that just from flipping it to the rear side and taking out the spring??
i actually only took the spring out...but now i recently put the spring on the out side instead of it being in between.
wow. that thing would really be raked with spring in it. ive never seen a springer that mounts behind the head tube like that.
thats some jaguar !! starburst badge, crash bars, and the spotlamp is sweet too :wink:
I like it!!! 8)
So is this a thread where we post up pics of our black bikes?
oh yeah, i like it too... just suprised b/c its not one of the lowrider "bent" forks.
Black '79 Raleigh Tourist
Black '70 American Flyer.
My first "real" bike.
Restored it a couple years ago.

Not sure I feel like taking pics of it.
i wont have to remove this one :lol:
sensor... i love that bike. very tough... like a stealth combat fighter. do you have a thread for it in the gallery or bike build?
My RBBO2 bike, Rat Rod Lincoln. Will post a picture tomorrow of what it now looks like, never liked the fork and the apes are a pain at times more of a moto klunker now.

Rat Rod Lincoln as it stands today
Very Cool!!!
Looks tuff!
Wow! Do I love that bike. Simple, understated, and looks fast while standing still. Pretty much my personal gold standard for rating other rat rods.
Here are some more!

Well things seem to be working but the one swarm I have caught and the 2 trees I have done I left alone for a couple weeks.

Well things seem to be working but the one swarm I have caught and the 2 trees I have done I left alone for a couple weeks.
i was told i needed to clean out mess in bottom or they could start building comb on it, last i will open hive for a week, then will open it for 1st inspection and make sure combs are straight and not connected
ok think today is the day to do 1st inspection, i see 5 combs and there doing well. was going to leave them a month but want to see if and correcting any comb issues now. before they really get to producing comb and expanding hive. any thoughts on doing 1st inspection now or waiting, installed swarm on april 29th
ok opened up hive checked all comb, everything perfect, combs straight, no attachments, didnt look for much more than that, just wanted to make sure everything starting out well and straight. they were very sweet and did not mind me at all
i posted a bunch of new pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobalbright/
i highly recommend watching and learning from sam comfort and michael bush. and god bless cali. we were born and raised in the riverside area and moved to SE Kansas a couple years ago. cant wait to get back and visit and enjoy the fishing off santa monica pier and some real mexican food hahaha.
Be Well.
Nice frame for holding bars of comb! My wife has been wanting me to build one but I didn't want to deal with the weight of one made of wood. I'd completely overlooked the possibilities of PVC pipe. Thanks for the inspiration!
my pleasure, it works perfectly. i might remove the tee's up top and just use couplings but do like slots to put bars, it helps when i'm wearing my bee gloves. room for 3 bars, but i don't think i'll ever have more than 2 or 3 out, normally one only. i'll take some more pics of it and explain my thoughts on why i did a few things
I, too, never thought about rigging up a frame of PVC pipe as an "extra set of hands."
it really helps but a week sick has slowed me down and no real bee stuff, just rest
only day to do a little hive maintenance and it was overcast. well bee's are more grumpy on a overcast day lol. had to back up and let them settle a few times. not bad but I did get more attention today, from the bee's then I have in past.
ok update time, lost my queen and hive just died out. why i lost queen no idea, they were doing good then all of a sudden less bees and activity daily until nothing. But 2 weeks ago after hive being empty for 2 months i started getting calls from neighbors(3) that there was a lot of bee activity in there backyards. 2 were just lots of scouts looking for a home. But the 3rd was a big beautiful swarm. really big, 3 times as big as my last group and 3 doors down in an orange tree.
this video is of swarm after removing a bunch of branches and about 1/3rd of bee's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaHCeb6X_Q8&feature=share&list=UUoNN4lJS3K r207TrRhz04TA
so removed them and put them in my tbh. came back at night and taped up entrance(everybody home and tucked in) and wheeled them home to there new location.
1 Week later and all is good. but it is different having 3 times the bee's in my hive. was use to the amount of bees in old hive, 3 times as many, 3 times the activity. my property and neighbors are full of blooms right now so at 1st no feeding and just let them settle in. 1 week later decided to feed just in case. opened up hive for 1st time to feed and because of all the activity thought there could be trouble. not 1 issue at all, bees were so sweet and relaxed around me. 6 new full combs in 1 week. hive is busy, looks healthy and because they have only been there 1 week i did not go any farther into hive to disrupt them. 1 hour later and there still not touching the sugar water at all. maybe there fine and taking care of themselves but wanted to give them the option.
They look fairly settled in, congrats.
I love your comment above about your dog. Ours have never learned to not snap at the "stingy flies" but they do generally just stay away from the hive area so the number of stings drips off quickly.
thank you very much, ok looks like feeding them was good, 2 pints gone in 24 hours and 1 new comb built. but there are bee's returning to hive loaded with pollen so thats good too, maybe another 2 pints just to let them fill some cells. this was a big swarm, i have been told 10,000 to 12,000 bees. it's impressive how quick they can build comb and 7 new full combs in 8 days seams pretty good to me.
wow bad morning, since bees were so sweet yesterday. i decided to not suit up to remove empty feed bag. big mistake, got 1 sting right in jugular, got stung once 7 times no issues, 1 sting to jugular, full Anaphylaxis, dropped me to ground, hard time breathing, throwing up, didn't know where i was. it got bad, wife found me, feeling little better just called my doc, he said to just take it easy, but any more issues call 911. fun fun fun...still love my bees just need to take more precautions lol.
More likely it was the site of the sting not a full allergic reaction or you would not have got away with just resting. Most stings have local swelling and when this is around your breathing gear its a potential problem.
Always use a veil at least. Stings on arms and body are an irritation but to your face it can be serious and easily avoided.
I got popped on the face a couple weeks ago when checking out a hive in a house. Wasn't that close, but I got in the flight line. I had never had one in the face. That is a completely different ball game! My eye almost swelled completely shut.

1941 Bantam Jeep BRC-40 - HandmadePosted in Features on June 2, 2014 Comment (0)
The Bantam BRC-40 -- it's the vehicle that made Jeep possible. Many of us will never get to see one in person, and if we do, it'll probably be behind glass or rope at some museum. But we found one that we actually got to check out, crawl around, and even ride in.
It's funny seeing one of these after spending so much time with "regular" flatties, because the BRC-40, while a precursor to the MB and GPW, is much, much different. It's not so much that the family resemblance isn't there, it's just that a lot of the little things that come together to make an MB aren't there. It's kind of cool to check out all the little things that are different -- things like the headlights sunk into the fenders, the copper dash plaques, the rounder outside sheetmetal (except the corners), and boxier inside metal. There are only two gauges in the dash, they are both oval and the remote-mounted oil filter actually tucks in under the cowl.
When we found out that a retired metal worker by the name of Art Goodrich built this Jeep, we spoke with him to learn more. It turned out that when Art says he was a metal worker, he means that he learned the old ways of forming metal with hand tools, working with English wheels, and even spinning. He told us all about how he built, rebuilt, or repaired most of the sheetmetal on this Jeep. Take a good look when you go through the pictures, and you'll see it looks like it just rolled out of the Bantam factory with great attention to detail. Even the underbody wood-backed body stiffeners have new wood in them again, and Art most likely hand-bent every one of the metal channels that cover them.
The Jeep is from Massachusetts, and we found it in Pennsylvania, so it is pretty impressive that this 70-year-old Jeep has any chassis, much less the original chassis underneath it. The Northeast is not kind to metal -- there is a reason people call it the Rust Belt. Unlike the C-channel chassis we are familiar with, the Bantam chassis is more of an inverted U-shape with a plate to close off the bottom -- more like the pole for a stop sign, really. Art cleaned the rust from it, repaired whatever needed it, and slathered it in Gillespie Coatings OD paint.
Stock-spec shocks attach to factory shackles and springs. The springs and shackles were cleaned and painted with the same paint. Notice how the shackles aren't the "C" style that were on so many other military flatties.
The engine is a Continental BY4112 134ci L-head four-cylinder that was rated to put out 45hp and 86 ft-lbs. Art told us all he had to do to the engine was bolt on the head, but we still think he might have been pulling our leg. Remember your grandfather telling you about having to crank an engine by hand? How about your great grandfather? Well, the Bantam still had the provision for it even though it had electric start. You can see a tab hanging down under the front bumper that the crank handle goes through to get to the crankshaft pulley.
The engine still gets fuel and air through a Stromberg carburetor and is cooled with a unique radiator. You know how your radiator has fins? Yeah, this one has a honeycomb shape instead. Power goes from the Continental engine through a T-84 three-speed transmission and Spicer 18 T-case and on to Spicer 40 front and rear axles with 4.88 gears. NDT tires on one-piece wheels put the power to the ground. The differential covers are actually cast covers with "Use Hypoid Oil Only" lettering right on them. Not only that, but the front pumpkin has "Front Axle" cast right into it as well. While we are talking about the front axle, notice that the steering linkage goes from the box to an arm under the driver-side knuckle and then across, as opposed to the over-the-axle bellcrank setup. Note how both pumpkins are on the driver side of the Jeep.
Body and Interior
Art tells us that he had to make the firewall, floor, inner fenders, and cowl, but some of the other stuff he was able to repair rather than fabricate. All the steel used was 0.035-inch-thick stuff. All that OD paint also came from Gillespie coatings and, yes, Art shot it himself. The Bantam-specific lights needed fixing, and the bumpers were hand-built to original specs.
The grille guard is actually a rescued Bantam piece, and note also how much more glass is in the windshield of the BRC. Instead of the top edge of the tub being stamped squarish, the Bantam uses a rounded-off edge. You can see it starts at the windshield and wraps all the way around the top edge of the tub, which also had to be rebuilt. And, speaking of round and square things, the rear corners of the tub are square, not round like the standardized jeeps.
Inside the seats were restored, and Beachwood Canvas provided period-correct canvas for both the seats and top. In the rear seat photo you can see the engine crank under the seat and that the top is stenciled "American Bantam Car Company." The gauges still have the Bantam stamp on them and were completely restored. There are only two gauges -- that's because the one on the left replaces the four gauges that surround the speedometer in other flatties. The identification plates are stamped out of copper rather than brass or aluminum.
Good, Bad, and What It's For
It's a prestandardized jeep, so it's all good. Seriously though, after really getting into one of these, we can see the reasons why the military went with the Willys version for the war -- that is, in addition to the fact that Bantam was not able to produce enough units quickly enough. Art did a great job bringing this BRC-40 back to life, as you might expect from someone who formed metal with hand tools his whole career.
Why I Wrote This Feature
The BRC-40 is a cool part of Jeep's history, and I thought that more of our readers would like to see more photos other than just a front three-quarters shot. There are actually a lot of changes between this '41 model and the '42 model that we are all more familiar with, and I wanted to share some of them with you.

Martha Reed's volunteer spirit
Making memories for soldiers
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - Martha Reed is a behind the scenes volunteer at Fort Carson whose smile is contagious. She has been a volunteer on post for more than a decade at the Special Events Center. Martha is the person who helps make sure Homecomings and anything else at the Center goes off without a hitch.
Martha works 40-50 hours per week with no pay, but she loves what does, "For me to do something for them makes me feel good. It's all for the soldiers." Martha's husband William runs the Special Events Center. She jumped at the chance to help him do whatever needs to be done.
I caught up with her during a recent Christmas party for the soldiers that she helped plan and decorate. She said these parties and homecoming are always special for her. It's about memories, "It's just nice to see the baby and the father for the first time holding the baby. It's really neat."
That helping hand at Fort Carson to improve the lives of soldiers is why Martha Reed is our Wear Red Friday Hero.

Can't help with the where to find one part, haven't kept an eye on them.
The couple of "down sides" I can think of;
Mags are expensive at $30-35 a piece, but they are well made, and you shouldn't really need more then two.
You need to remove a screw to take the slide off.
Early models had a diecast barrel bushing, they are known to fail, but they did fix it with a steel piece and will replace it if you happen to get one with the lower quality part.
Other then that they a well made and are the same size as real 1911.
I got mine late last summer and ran about 500 rounds through it without any problems, a couple others I know got them too (shooting their's made me buy mine) and haven't had any problems, one guy used his hard for a while without any issues.
So I'd say yes buy one

Never heard of that one i think you could find yourself in a mess trying to tell that to BATF
I thought that I read somewhere that the Short Barrel Rifle law DOES NOT apply to any caliber of .22 or less? Is this correct or am I way off?
Or does the barrel need to be 16" and overall length of 26"?
Never heard of that one i think you could find yourself in a mess trying to tell that to BATF
I agree, that's why GUNCO is so great!
Yeah a rifle is a rifle no matter what caliber.
I'm suprised they let the pellet guns have a built in supressor, or are they just a marketing gimmick?
The Gamo Whisper IS much quieter than other springers and suppressors/moderators and silencers are fair game over in the UK for air/pellet rifles.
The wording states that as LONG as this component is INTEGRAL, fixed and non removeable without damaging the firearm, it is ok(as far as I can tell).
I think this is how Gamo gets around the US laws? But, most of the noise from a "springer" style rifle comes from the rapid release of the spring tension when fired, not hot barrel gasses escaping, so in essence I suppose that they are a gimmick when placed on springer rifles.
Some of the AirForce talon and condor rifles offer them as well-but they are PCP(pre-compressed pneumatic) rifles.
I've shot one before with and without the moderator and there is a HUGE difference!!!!
I've got one of the Whispers. It won't sound all that much quieter if you're the shooter as it sort of redirects the noise back towards you. It is much quieter downrange. I love it... the squirrels don't know where death is coming from (and the neighbors just hears something that sounds like a can of soda being opened).
THeir logic is that IF they can attach this to another firearm and produce a sound reduction, then you just broke the law.
(if you have a .177 or .22 pellet rifle and made a silencer for it, then the BATFE would attach it to a .17 or .22 rifle and compare the reports).
Fake cans are legit because they are solid aluminum/steel and produce NO sound reduction..

We tend to view prolonged economic downturns, such as the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Long Depression of the late nineteenth century, in terms of the crisis and pain they cause. But history teaches us that these great crises also represent opportunities to remake our economy and society and to generate whole new eras of economic growth and prosperity. In terms of innovation, invention, and energetic risk taking, these periods of "creative destruction" have been some of the most fertile in history, and the changes they put into motion can set the stage for full-scale recovery.
In The Great Reset, bestselling author and economic development expert Richard Florida provides an engaging and sweeping examination of these previous economic epochs, or "resets." He distills the deep forces that have altered physical and social landscapes and eventually reshaped economies and societies. Looking toward the future, Florida identifies the patterns that will drive the next Great Reset and transform virtually every aspect of our lives from how and where we live, to how we work, to how we invest in individuals and infrastructure, to how we shape our cities and regions. Florida shows how these forces, when combined, will spur a fresh era of growth and prosperity, define a new geography of progress, and create surprising opportunities for all of us. Among these forces will benew patterns of consumption, and new attitudes toward ownership that are less centered on houses and carsthe transformation of millions of service jobs into middle class careers that engage workers as a source of innovationnew forms of infrastructure that speed the movement of people, goods, and ideasa radically altered and much denser economic landscape organized around "megaregions" that will drive the development of new industries, new jobs, and a whole new way of life
We've weathered tough times before. They are a necessary part of economic cycles, giving us a chance to clearly see what's working and what's not. Societies can be reborn in such crises, emerging fresh, strong, and refocused. Now is our opportunity to anticipate what that brighter future will look like and to take the steps that will get us there faster.
With his trademark blend of wit, irreverence, and rigorous research and analysis, Florida presents an optimistic and counterintuitive vision of our future, calling into question long-held beliefs about the nature of economic progress and forcing us to reassess our very way of life. He argues convincingly that it's time to turn our efforts as individuals, as governments, and as a society to putting the necessary pieces in place for a vibrant, prosperous future.
"In his usual lucid and compelling way, Florida argues that elected officials 'need to get over their love affair with big renewal projects' and steer money toward neighborhood ventures that improve people's lives."
-—Harvard Business Review
"Enticingly contrarian"
-—New York Post
"The Great Reset is an interesting, provocative and intelligent book. Florida is a witty and entertaining writer…It's well worth reading as a starting point for the future that's coming our way whether we're ready or not."
-—Miami Herald
"Richard Florida can be counted among the great prophets of our age. This incredibly interesting and well-written commentator on the socio-economics of the modern era has hit yet another grand slam, eclipsing his phenomenal 'Rise of the Creative Class.'"
-—Falls Church News-Press
"A breath of fresh air for anyone hoping that Americans (and economists) will learn from their past mistakes."
-—The Daily Beast
"A thoughtful, generally hopeful assessment of where we are now, how we got here—and how we can rebuild in the future."
-—BizEd magazine
[U]seful in inspiring thinking about the future of communities, of different types of jobs, and of the nature of work itself."
-—The Conference Board Review
"The Great Reset shows how new technology and the new geographies of living and working come together to drive recovery….must reading for anyone who wants to understand where we are now and where we are headed."
-—Chris Anderson, editor, Wired magazine
"This timely and thought-provoking book gives us important insights into the reshaping of America's economic and physical landscape."
-—Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute, Columbia University

Movie Review: House at the End of the Street
House At the End of the Street sounds like something that could have, should have played in drive-ins and grindhouses in the 1970s. Instead, it's here and it's now and it's a stinker.
Director: Mark Tonderai
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Studio: FilmNation
House at the End of the Street sounds like something that could have, should have played in drive-ins and grindhouses in the 1970s. Instead, it's here and it's now and it's a stinker. Directed by Mark Tonderai and scripted by David Loucka, the flick is a standard-issue teen thriller about a single mom and her estranged teenage daughter renting a house in the woods. Next door stands a sad-looking, rambling old rattletrap in which a young girl purportedly whacked her parents a decade earlier. It turns out the girl's college student black sheep of a brother still lives there amidst a maze of trapdoors, door locks, subbasements and secrets — not the least of which is that a character presumed innocent or dead or both isn't and is violently psychotic.
Before you can say Psycho, Hammer horror, Carrie, Dario Argento, Halloween and countless grade-Z "homages" and rip-offs, people are running breathlessly, getting stabbed, gushing blood and surviving impossible odds, and the heroine is fighting off a relentless attacker in a clingy t-shirt. No illogical plot twist, no teen horror movie cliché is too cheap for this one. There are walks down long hallways, flights up and down scary stairways and every contrivance one can imagine — or remember from dozens of other films.
That this claptrap stars Oscar nominee and Hunger Games heroine Jennifer Lawrence and Oscar nominee Elisabeth Shue is astounding and sad. They try to give it something extra, but they're just defeated. Gil Bellows plays a folksy, supportive local cop who may as well have "Victim" tattooed on his forehead. Max Thieriot plays the strange, sensitive, appealing boy next door. No wonder he's been cast as the brother of Norman Bates in the TV series Bates Motel.

Vitamin K1
Vitamin K1 Injection
(phytonadione) Injectable Emulsion, USP
Aqueous Dispersion of Vitamin K1 Ampul
Protect from light. Keep ampuls in tray until time of use.
Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and immediately after INTRAVENOUS injection of phytonadione, even when precautions have been taken to dilute the phytonadione and to avoid rapid infusion. Severe reactions, including fatalities, have also been reported following INTRAMUSCULAR administration. Typically these severe reactions have resembled hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis, including shock and cardiac and/or respiratory arrest. Some patients have exhibited these severe reactions on receiving phytonadione for the first time. Therefore the INTRAVENOUS and INTRAMUSCULAR routes should be restricted to those situations where the subcutaneous route is not feasible and the serious risk involved is considered justified.
Phytonadione is a vitamin, which is a clear, yellow to amber, viscous, odorless or nearly odorless liquid. It is insoluble in water, soluble in chloroform and slightly soluble in ethanol. It has a molecular weight of 450.70.
Phytonadione is 2-methyl-3-phytyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone. Its empirical formula is C31H46O2 and its structural formula is:
Vitamin K1 Injection (Phytonadione Injectable Emulsion, USP) is a yellow, sterile, nonpyrogenic aqueous dispersion available for injection by the intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous routes. Each milliliter contains phytonadione 2 or 10 mg, polyoxyethylated fatty acid derivative 70 mg, dextrose, hydrous 37.5 mg in water for injection; benzyl alcohol 9 mg added as preservative. May contain hydrochloric acid for pH adjustment. pH is 6.3 (5.0 to 7.0). Phytonadione is oxygen sensitive.
What are the precautions when taking aqueous colloidal solution of vitamin k1 (Vitamin K1)?
Before using vitamin K, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: blood disorders, kidney disease, liver disease.
This product may contain aluminum, which can infrequently build up to dangerous levels in the body. The risk may be increased if this product is used for an extended time, especially in people with kidney disease.

It's a combination between a Dangus and a Dinosaur. This is a name for a person who is able to climb up the side of buildings, has incredible auditory skills, is always around, is reliable like a best friend, is super cute and cuddly, has a nice dangus, will go anywhere with you and will even migrate across long long miles, through differing climates, like a dinosaur. They may or may not be able to work on cars, some dangasaurs are really bad drivers. All dangasaurs are super fun although often impulsive; they aren't always great at making decisions, but will almost always apologize for any damage they've done immediately.
You'll know a dangasaur when you see him or her. They usually drive erratically, have trouble following rules, love to be outdoors, and seem to be more dinosaur than human. They are great lovers.

golden zucchinis
when does a golden zucchini become a marrow rather than a courgette? is it with age or with size. I'm getting FI hybrid taxi zucchinis weighing over 3 kilos within 8 weeks of germination from seed. HGUK
#2 Thu 12 Jul 12 10:57pm
Re: golden zucchinis
Zucchini in America and Italy = Courgettes..
Courgettes become marrows when left to grow, if you want courgettes you cut them when they are about 10cm-15cm. When bigger they become marrows, wait until they are 20cms long and use gloves to cut them as they have nasty spikes.
Your courgettes within just the usual 8 weeks of growth, but now weighing 3kgs have become marrows...they need a lot of water which is probably the reason that they have grown so much...
Marrows can be kept for longer than courgettes...in a cool place, for several weeks.

Re: golden zucchinis
I had one courgette plant in a tub and it's been so wet it rotted and did not survive , the pot had stones in the base and drainage holes and it was stood on another large flower pot that was upturned so drainage should not have been an issue , it just been the vast volume of rain that has fallen where we live drowned the poor plant ... This has now happened 2 years running !
The garden has been struggling a little bit with the heavy rain fall and also the high winds that we had recently , it's not at all like summer !
The tomatoes in the little plastic greenhouse are just about coping with the chilly wet weather but I am not holding out much hope for large crops this year.

Re: golden zucchinis
We have quite a few courgettes in our garden, they are getting along well, i also had to plant a few in my flower gardens as they were taking up too much space....it has been raining everyday for over a month so as soon as i notice any growth i'll probably cover each plant to avoid too much humidity.
Better luck next year.

The younger generations now say ' wicked ' meaning something that is ..good .. Brilliant ..or something of notable interest to them !!
Quite unlike how I have always thought of the meaning of wicked ..which to me means something really bad !!!
Kye ..I know what you mean is wicked/bad and not wicked/good !!!!!!!

Re: golden zucchinis
I am curious about 'marrows'. We divide squash into 'winter' and 'summer' types - summer squash is harvested in summer and has very tender flesh and skin. These types include zucchini, yellow summer squash varieties, patty pan, etc. They grow very well in our area. Usually, one harvests them at the smallest stage because if you grow them for one day longer, they become enormous and sometimes tough, which is considered undesirable. Winter squash is typically harvested in late summer and fall and has a hard exterior with firm flesh - acorn squash, pumpkins, etc. I think butternut fits in to this group because it is firm, even though one sees it in the markets in summer.
Is marrow a summer squash that's become huge and tough? How is it used?
When any of my squash became the size of cricket bats or baseball bats, others used it grated or in zucchini bread and said it was not tough, but that was exactly one day of growth past the time I should have cut it, a difference from a tender, 6 - 8 inch delicate squash to a 2 foot, fibrous bat. I sometimes wonder too if the small ones are a lot more nutritious because so much of the benefits are in the skin, so one gets a higher ratio of skin to flesh in the young stages?
#10 Fri 13 Jul 12 6:43pm
Re: golden zucchinis
Courgettes are immature marrows. They are called big courgette here, are probably not as tasty or nutritious as the smaller ones, more watery.
They can be stuffed, souped, velout� with soft cheese is delicious, used in savoury breads, chutney is really tasty too with cheeses, sliced and baked with cheese toppings...pizza toppings...

At what temps do you expect various behavior?
I know that around 50F you can expect them to start flying more, taking feed from feeders that are outside the hive or above etc. However I'm also assuming they behave slightly differently below those temps.
IOW if you're looking at temps of 0F they are probably going to cluster tightly and abandon brood to far from the cluster etc, so opening up the brood nest when you're still likely to see those temps would be bad. But I've not read anything that gives an idea what those temps might be.
Just asking because of this insane weather. Weeks of above 70's, populations exploding and hives running out of room. Then days of lows in the 30's...we're supposed to see 80 again in a couple days, then a week of colder weather.

Hi Everyone,
I searched and didn't find a "going green" thread, so if there is one I apologize in advance. I think that living green is a great dana practice- after all, it is consciously giving back and serving the earth! I've recently decided to make more of a commitment to living green/sustainably, and I wondered if anyone else had or if anyone has easy at home green projects to start out with! It's such a major lifestyle change for an American that it is overwhelming at times. My two current projects are below.
So I took it easy, and started a compost pile! http://voices.yahoo.com/how-create-d...ge-447897.html I used this as a guide. I was going to build a fancier one, but I figured I should see how it goes first. I hope to set up some small greenhouses this winter.
Also started researching going package-less- it is INSANE how much waste there is in the US due to packaging. Japan is actually pretty high on the list for least-packaging! So are some European countries. My country... is not. I decided to try to take it one item at a time. For instance, coffee beans- do I really need a new bag every time I get beans from the store? I'm going to try to sew myself a little coffee pouch out of fabric that I can fill up every time I need coffee. Weighs about the same as the paper bags so it doesn't add cost, and I can store the beans at home in an airtight container. We go through so much coffee that this probably will save a lot of trees! And the grounds can now go in my compost bin, yay. Also, note to myself, remember the canvas bags!! They don't help save bags at the grocery if I leave them at home, or in the car. Yikes.
