Serves 4
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 40 min.
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk 5 teaspoons flour and broth in a small bowl until smooth. Place the remaining flour in a shallow dish. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and dredge both sides in the flour. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; cover and keep warm.
Step 3
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add garlic and wine to the pan and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved broth-flour mixture, lemon juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in parsley, capers, butter and the reserved mushrooms. Measure out 1/2 cup of the mushroom sauce. Toss the pasta in the pan with the remaining sauce. Serve the pasta topped with the chicken and the reserved sauce.

Review: There are moments during Zeppelin's colorful, sometimes psychedelic, non-stop 240-minute show in the eerie wastes of Earl's Court (the Stones do 50 minutes or less), when Jimmy Page's searing guitar, carried by 60,000 watts of power, cuts right through the senses like some fast-acting drug and virtually blots out everything but the music.
And with lead singer Robert Plant looking like some demented Shirley Temple – thick blond hair falling in ringlets across his shoulders, Miss Selfridge's blouse slashed open to the navel, neck and arms adorned with jewelry and a Bardot pout to his lips – this in its field is one of the most astonishing examples of pure theatre I have ever seen anywhere.
Up there on stage, flanked by 40 tons of equipment that is generating enough light to illuminate Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and London's theatreland as well, Page in his black velvet suit embroidered with gold dragons allows a smile to flicker across a weary face. And 17,000 people burst into applause as he picks out the intro for Stairway to Heaven, one Zeppelin's most popular numbers.
In contrast, the group's keyboard player and bassist John Paul Jones is a shy, intense introvert who two years ago seriously considered giving up rock to apply for the job of chief organist at Winchester Cathedral.
He remains in the shadows laying down excellent sounds to form with John Bonham the rhythmic platform for Plant and Page's exotic excesses.
"When Led Zeppelin are peaking, then kiss your skull goodbye!"… or so they say! (R. Gilchrist, May 20, 1975)

It arrived today!
Here is 1 minute in the shop as a quick test.
Attachment 384656
I think it will work out fine.
What I see is that the grey is a residue. It wirewheels off just fine
The rust has reduced the surface through MINOR pitting which leaves a fine grainy surface
The polish pass just shined up the surface, so the grainy surface is shiny (not our preferred outcome)
I would suggest that I make a gentle pass with my surfacing tools to put the metal back to smooth, then buff. They should shine right up. If that sounds too "invasive" I can just wirewheel and buff.

Update: Deputies To Investigate Possible Murder-Suicide In Mother-Son Deaths
MAGALIA, Calif. - Police are officially calling the deaths of a mother and son in Magalia a double homicide. But they are investigating the possibility it may have been a murder-suicide. That was how the incident was initially described on the scanner when officers responded Thursday afternoon.
Butte County deputies were called to 6477 Fir Haven Drive in Magalia at 12:45 p.m. Thursday.
Tom LeRoux, 61, said he arrived home and found his wife and son both shot.
Travis LeRoux, 25, was still alive when paramedics arrived on scene but was later pronounced dead. Kelli LeRoux, 50, was dead before the paramedics' arrival.
Deputies stretched crime scene tape at the end of the family's wooded drive. The home was not clearly visible from the road.
Neighbors told KRCR Newschannel 7 the LeRoux family has three sons, all approximately in their 20's.
Initial scanner reports indicated a man had shot his mother, and then shot himself in the chest. But investigators said they will not make that determination until after the autopsy and investigation are complete.

There is no devastating, crushing activity against Darwinism anywhere in the world apart from us. It is the world's number 1 problem. There is no movement opposed to religion anywhere in the world that is so wide-ranging and so destructive, that destroys people's joy and causes them to be suspicious of one another and that causes atheism to lay down its roots.. Has any other movement led to the deaths of 350 million people? Let them say if there was one. But we have eliminated that worst ever movement. Allah made us His instrument. He bestowed that upon us, insha'Allah. The aftershocks are still persisting.
The main philosophy of the alleged organization Ergenekon is Darwinism and materialism. It is one result of the devastation wreaked in Turkey by Darwinism. And that is why they are so bloodthirsty. The alleged organization Ergenekon began right back in Darwin's time. And it has persisted ever since. It was born in that time and has died (intellectually) in this.
We must live by the love-filled, passionate and beautiful life of the Messenger of Allah (saas). We will be the most developed country in Europe. Democracy will be at the heart of that. Go to China and see what happens when there is no democracy. They have driven the whole of China crazy. They have lost all their joy, as if they were soulless. It was the same in Russia. They did not know how to laugh. They have only just learned now. It was like they had just come out of the freezer, but now their faces have begun to light up with smile.
People's brains in Europe have become like those of the Chinese. They got frozen. There is no maternal love, or love of one's neighbors or brothers. But we will restore love of one's neighbor.
(Regarding reports of challenges by Ahmadinejad) The Iranians will not go to war with Israel. There will be no great battle like Armageddon in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Israel will not be destroyed. Faith will come. Jerusalem will be cleansed and renewed. Jerusalem will be like paradise. Ahmadinejad is a very good person. He is an honest man. They make him uneasy, and he responds. There is no need for that, no atom bomb will be used against Israel. The graves of all the prophets are there. We will break the arm of anyone launching nuclear weapons against Iran or Israel. Hazrat Khidr (as) is here one day, there the next. We are but Hazrat Khidr's humble students in absentia.
Bediuzzaman says that Islam will rule the whole world. What does that mean? It means, the movement of the Mahdi. He says the whole world will be Muslim with the return of the Prophet Jesus (as) and the system of the Mahdi. This will happen. Bediuzzaman speaks of love, union and brotherhood. What does all Muslims uniting together mean? Unity. Muslims will have one spiritual leader. Right? Solidarity. This means that the students of Nur will not be split into different groups and stop not speaking to each other. They will love one another. I love them all. Bediuzzaman talks about solidarity. They must be in touch with and linked to one another. And they must love other followers as well. I love them all. I am their servant. But if one does something out of order, such as mocking Islam, then I will respond accordingly.
Striking at religion out of fear from bigotry would not be a solution. The way to have protection from fanaticism lies in following the movement of the Mahdi. The movement of the Mahdi means genuine freedom, democracy, love and modernity. Since you want love, freedom, modernity and democracy, then be a subject to the Mahdi. You will then realize you have never known anything about freedom, love or happiness before. Since you are so afraid of backwardness, the answer is to cling to the spirit of the Qur'an. It is not opposing or adopting a different attitude to certain provisions of religion. Anyone afraid of fanaticism should embrace the warmth of the system of the Mahdi. Fanaticism and backwardness is a terrible thing for the whole world. There are more than 100 million evangelicals, and they say there will blood up to the horse's mane. That is fanaticism for you. That is what you should be afraid of. Communists want a red sea of blood and the dictatorship of the proletariat. What does that mean? It means torture, imprisonment, and repression. But the system of the Mahdi will shed no blood. Not a drop of blood will be shed, and that is Allah's promise.
Dominion in the time of the Prophet Solomon (as) was limited to a small region. He influenced many parts of the world through his military force, but the state was very small. It consisted of Palestine, Egypt including part of Israel, and as far as Jordan. But in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) Islam will rule the whole world up until the ends of the Earth.
They say that a woman must stay at home. "What if she looks out of the window and finds a friend that way; that is why the windows should not be looking towards the market places" they say. Not trusting women and regarding them as a potential threat is the mindset of the hypocrite. But if you ask, they will say, "I am protecting them." You are a human being and so is she. Let her put you in a room and prevent you to look out at the market places. In the Qur'an the emphasis is greatly to protect women. But the system of the bigot is all about protecting men.
62/5- The metaphor of those who were charged with the Torah but then have not upheld it, is that of a donkey loaded with weighty tomes. How evil is the metaphor of those who deny Allah's Signs! Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.
There indeed are some scholars with a lot of knowledge of the verses. They have learned the Qur'an and the hadiths off by heart, but there is nothing about them that can be instrumental in salvation, no love, and no affection. They have no respect for the Qur'an. They are obviously weak in faith. There are professors in chairs of Qur'anic studies in Russia, they know the Qur'an by heart but are atheist. Reading the Qur'an is not, as people imagine, a direct path to salvation. You need signs leading to faith, miracles of the Qur'an that will cause people to love Allah, the kind of language that will show people the true miracles of our Prophet (saas). Otherwise, the Qur'an can lead some people into depravity, it would not be as they expect it to be. There is a verse about it, Allah reveals the following" What has been sent down to you from your Lord increases many of them in insolence and unbelief " It can be instrumental in their denial. That is why one needs a rational, warm way of talking about things, one based on signs leading to faith.
(Regarding Ahmet Altan's piece) Ahmet Altan is candid, but mistaken. We fear Allah, but fear of Allah bestows joy and depth. It is not terrifying for a child to fear Allah, but a source of joy. Allah's wrath is directed against the vile, the hypocrites. Not towards believers. He speaks of them being given complete peace "on that day." Would it make us happy for Allah not to oppress the oppressors, the hypocrites? Allah will not do that. That is what the Muslim hopes for. Allah exists and so does His Morality, and He takes revenge on the cruel. Allah is omniscient. It is Allah Who creates Ahmet Altan's feelings of affection and compassion, it is Allah Who installs these feelings in his heart. It is Allah Who caused him to write that piece, word for word. And it is wrong for the "The Risale report" website to take this article word for word without commenting on it. It would have been better for it to have been interpreted when published. Children and adults, all fear the wrath of Allah, but they have trust in Allah as they do not oppress anyone and help one another. We do good with all our might, but we still fear going to hell. But that inflicts no suffering on us. With the fear of Allah, we are able to live with greater depth. That gives us happiness. We understand life better, love more deeply, we become filled with love, and are more joyful. We enjoy the peace bestowed by that justice. We know that Allah will take revenge and that gives us happiness. For example, a man takes a child off and kills him. If Allah does nothing about it, that will make another young person unhappy. But knowing that the person will be suitably rewarded makes the child happy. Hell is where Allah takes revenge. Hypocrites are the lowest creatures in the world. Do you expect Allah to let these curs into paradise? Seeing them being punished in hell will make us happy. Allah has created hell for us to be happy about this. Hell is where Allah takes revenge, but it brings joy to believers. Fear of Allah increases our feelings of affection and protection. Protection is a mixture of love, sympathy and affection. It is love that fully satisfies the soul. A person may say he has love, but he is lying. Something happens to her face. "My love is finished" he says. It is not your love, it is your desire that is finished. Love comes from fear of Allah. Ahmet Altan is thinking in very narrow terms. The world he longs for exists within the system of the Mahdi. One can only have vigorous mental faculties, clarity, and sharp vision with the movement of the Mahdi.
In addition, you cannot do this in separate units. Why has the Islamic world been in a wretched state for the last 100 years? Allah imparts glad tidings of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the Torah, the Gospels, the Psalms and the Qur'an, without giving his name.
The best path at the moment is to abide by the schools, to follow the imam of one of the schools. Otherwise, one will act on one's own inventions and go astray. But when Hazrat Mahdi (as) appears one must follow him. He will implement the religion exactly as it was in our Prophet's time.
A giant star throwing off meteors, Nemesis is drawing near. Let them say what this is preparatory to. They shout about how nobody can know what is secret, what is in the future. They are in a panic. That is because the Day of Reckoning is spoiling things for them. Of course secret things of the future may not be known, there is a verse about that. But Allah also says, " Yet He chooses from His Prophets whom He will and gives them knowledge of events to come according to His will." Why do they not also mention that? There are several verses to the effect that Allah imparts secret knowledge. Why do they not talk about them? The Day of Reckoning will be, Allah knows the truth, in [Hijri] 1545.
A letter of our older brother Husrev Altinbasak says: "...Turk and Arab, two true brother nations, InshaAllah will unite in the near future . And through that union the seeds of mischief, those awful enemies have thrown among the Muslims will be thrown back to their own faces. The four hundred million Muslims, will come to lead the whole humanity with the Islamic way of living and will ensure peace and welfare, insha'Allah." A humble student of Risale-i Nur HUSREV (Rays, s. 592)
They will return to living by Islam and will assume the leadership of all, these are the glad tidings of the system of the Mahdi. This is a part of the signs leading to faith and Islamic Union is the greatest religious obligation.
Our brothers from East Turkestan are even terrified to write to me. That is because the secret demolitions of the Chinese administration are still going on. The penalty for talking to Turkey is death. If they sincerely want the continuity of the Chinese state, they should give freedom to the people. I would not want the Chinese state to collapse either, that would be a pity. But they must let the Uighur Turks be. They must lift their oppression and persecution. China must be like Europe. We cannot phone them in East Turkestan. We must be able to call East Turkestan freely and come and go. They must trust Muslims, there is no need for this despotism.
Allah will put on a magnificent display on the Day of Reckoning, and the people of the graves will also see it. Believers will watch it in joy and amazement. That is because there is no fear for the believers on that day. Bediuzzaman says they will watch events in the same state of mind as someone looking out from a warm house at a snowy, stormy day. He says believers will watch it all from under protection. Muslims will encounter the Day of Reckoning suddenly, but in a state of readiness.
16/58- When one of them is given the good news of a baby girl, his face darkens and he is furious.
16/59- He hides away from people because of the evil of the good news he has been given. Should he keep her ignominiously or bury her in the earth? What an evil judgement they make!
Deniers and hypocrites regard women as potentially unchaste and even- may Allah forbid-dangerous. But women are very holy entities. They are lovely manifestations of Allah. They are the world's most exciting adornment. They are troves of affection. They are the finest teachers that teach warmth, love and friendship to the whole world. These holy beings will achieve complete security in the age of the system of the Mahdi.
Harunyahya TV:
Messengers before you were also mocked, but those who jeered were engulfed by what they mocked. (Surat al-An'am, 10)
lest anyone should say, 'Alas for me for neglecting what Allah was due,and being one of the scoffers!' (Surat az-Zumar, 56)
It has been sent down to you in the Book that when you hear Allah's Signs being rejected and mocked at by people, you must not sit with them till they start talking of other things. If you do you are just the same as them. Allah will gather all the hypocrites and unbelievers into hell. (Surat an-Nisa', 140)
One must not listen to those who mock Allah and the Qur'an. Allah's command is explicit.
They sit and laugh at them, that is a sin. That is clearly set out in the Qur'an.
Allah says, "do not sit with them." Neither can one sit in front of the television and listen as someone mocks religion, may Allah forbid, or else mocks Islam in the name of serving Islam. One must not listen until they start talking properly.
When they declared, 'Why! Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than we are although we constitute a powerful group. Our father is clearly making a mistake. (Surah Yusuf, 8)
Under normal circumstance the Prophet Joseph's (as) brothers were believers.
But Allah is setting the position out in the Qur'an in order to send a message to the hypocrites.
There is a message for the hypocrites here. In the figurative sense, if we consider that aspect regarding Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as), they are jealous of both.
They are uncomfortable with their power and dominion. That is why they say they have been and gone, or will come in 1000 or 570 years' time. A Muslim would want to see them at once. One will not tell someone that one loves very much, "see you in a thousand years, then." He would want very much to see them instantly and beg and pray Allah for that. Osman Unlu, Cubbeli Ahmet, and people like them are speaking out of ignorance. But the others are plain dishonest.
… although we constitute a powerful group: Deniers and hypocrites are in constant contact with one another. They represent the great majority, and they rely on that strength and become very aggressive. The hypocrites will constitute a huge mass of people against Hazrat Mahdi (as). They will engage in intense activity in order to stop the work of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Islamic Union.
our father is clearly making a mistake: They will accuse Hazrat Mahdi (as) of being in error, and also his followers.
Kill Joseph or expel him to some land so that your father will look to you alone and then you can be people who do right.' (Surah Yusuf, 9)
They directly plan murder. For example, if you put someone in prison, alongside people perfectly well disposed to commit murder, then they can kill that person at the slightest provocation. Or you take someone in any country, and put him alongside mental patients who have previously killed. These are indirect ways of killing. Saying I did not do it, he did is an excuse. For instance if you abandon a young child by the E-5 highway he will crawl off. The child would have no idea, he will cross to the other side. But a car will fail to see him and run over him. If you ask them, they will say they dropped him off to get a bit of air. But their real intention was to kill him. But they would say that they did no such thing. That is one way of avoiding the pangs of conscience and feelings of guilt. We can see that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be subjected to the same sort of thing.
then you can be people who do right: And the hypocrites will then claim to be Muslims. They will claim to be good, perfect Muslims. They are both predisposed to kill and also totally immoral, but will also claim to be immaculate Muslims.
That night they came back to their father in tears, (Surah Yusuf, 16)
One of the distinguishing features of hypocrites is that they shed plenty of false tears. Shedding tears is a game for them. They would say they are afraid and start crying, they would say they are ashamed and start crying, they would cry to appear honorable, to lie, to obtain money or to appear among the people of taqwa(fear from and obedience to Allah) . Hypocrites and deniers use crying as a trick. I consider those who are genuine free of these of course.
saying, 'Father, we went out to run a race and left Joseph together with our things and then a wolf appeared and ate him up but you are never going to believe us now, not even though we really tell the truth.' (Surah Yusuf, 17)
This means that deniers and hypocrites are not so calm as they might seem. One might think that atheist masons or atheist Zionist would take direct action towards Hazrat Mahdi (as), but we see that in fact the hypocrites are after wide-ranging action and seek to kill or halt Hazrat Mahdi (as).
They then produced his shirt with false blood on it. He said, 'It is merely that your lower selves have suggested something to you which you did; but beauty lies in showing steadfastness. It is Allah alone who is my Help in face of the event that you describe.' (Surah Yusuf, 18)
This means that false evidence will be manufactured in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). False legal evidence will be produced.
It is merely that your lower serves have suggested something to you which you did:
We understand that Muslims bring gentle criticism to such things. There is a criticism using calm language.
beauty lies in showing steadfastness: Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers will both be steadfast.
Bediuzzaman says that Hazrat Mahdi's (as) attributes are determination, courage and fortitude.
It is Allah alone who is my Help in face of the event that you describe: They will invent lies against Hazrat Mahdi (as). False accusations. And one needs to assume the described reaction in the face of such slanders.
7/142- We set aside thirty nights for Moses and then completed them with ten, so the appointed time of his Lord was forty nights in all.
This refers to Hazrat Mahdi's (as) struggle which will last 40 years.

Emmit is fun to watch, and I'd prefer him to some people who just lacked personality, but his dancing isn't up to the other people left at this point. My faves are Shawn and Apollo, but I tend to prefer the athletes. They just seem to have less drama about them and go about their business and don't get snitty about criticism.

My main objection to this single-minded focus on a single class of pesticides is that it neglects all of the other problems facing bees and other pollinators.
From what I've observed, loss of habitat is overwhelmingly the greatest threat to pollinators, including honeybees. Finding locations for yards with good numbers of floral sources that honeybees will use, and especially finding locations with a high diversity of floral sources, continues to become increasingly difficult.
I think the widespread use of broadleaf herbicides and herbicides to eliminate any and all "weeds" is at least as imminent a threat to bees as insecticides.
I live in the center of Missouri and the drought last summer was even worse than the official report. Depended which cloud you were under. It was just too hot and dry for the bees to forage.
I came thru last spring with 8 of 8 hives and started 12 more nucs during the summer. Bad timing. Even though I fed sugar all fall, they did not store enough to get thru the winter. Bottom line- between robbing and me combining nucs and hives, I think I still have 12 total.
Wish I knew how this "bee-farmer" was able to get 3000 + hives strong for the move to CA.
On youtube videos, they feed substitute pollen patty when there is no forage available. And also syrup in the cold
weather. To grow the bees even during the winter time is to FEED, FEED, AND FEED! This is what I learn from the beekeepers here. In a warm climate like Hawaii and Florida, their bees will still make broods. For example, I patty feed since Nov. into the early Spring. This is a hive that was queenless after 2 died and only one frame of worker bees left. They are brooding nicely now but still so cold outside. But I am not sure where the bee farmer is from to grow his hives. Might be from Florida I suppose.
For the record, Imidacloprid has been index-measured as being 7,600 times more toxic to bees than DDT and Clothianidin is of the same order of ultra-toxicity.
Pettis's work - which confirms that of Dr Cedric Alaux's team in France, has been largely misunderstood - not surprising since the industry brought massive pressure to bear and carried out a full-scale campaign of disinformation about it.
What that research clearly revealed was that ANY exposure to neonicotinoids cripples the bees's immune system, leading to death from varroa, viruses, bacteria, fungal diseases etc - AND LEAVES NO TRACE.
The implication is that there is 'no safe level of exposure' to neonicotinoids. Any exposure damages the bees immune system and predisposes them to die of a whole range of pathogens.
Is there some sort of Law Suit involved here? Is that why the secrecy about who this is?
Mark Berninghausen
And since I've already asked once, I'll ask again. How do you explain the fact that my apiaries are surrounded by neonic corn, and the bees remain productive...and alive? Clothianidin has been used in my area since 2004. I asked the applicator what % of the corn in the valley has been treated with clothianidin. His reply...100%
You can call me a shill if you want to, for questioning your hypothesis, but I will continue my questions until you can give me a logical answer...
Considering that my non-migratory bees are surrounded by clothianidin treated corn, why are they not all dead?
Here in the Uk bee losses are high and widespread and Chris Connolly's recent study from Dundee University found a geographic pattern; losses were high in the East of Scotland, which is where the neonic treated arable crops predominate, and they were much lower in the West, which is far wetter and mainly used for dairy and sheep pasture. Go figure- as they say over there.
From what I have found development of neonicotinoids was in the 1980's by shell and in the 1990's by Bayer. The appearance of CCD as I understand it is supposed to have been in 1996. I don't know the specifics on the wide spread use of neonicotinoids but this broad time frame does not look good for the pesticide. Basically their answer to the question "where where you on the night in question" is they where in the thick of it. They make the suspect list.
Sir where you in the area when the insects was killed? Why yes I was. And what where you doing here? I was doing business with an associate of the victim. Um yes and do you have any weapons on you. Only this neurotoxin. I was delivering it to the associate of the victim. By the way what weapon was used in the killing. Well we have not determined that. no trace of any wounds. Poisoning is pretty high on the list though. So you have no idea what killed them. No none at all. Well I am certain it could not be a neurotixic insecticide, right? Oh certainly not. what sort of person would be foolish enough to think that. You have a good day sir an sorry to bother you.

Camero, I am aware that there are other times in the past that similar events have accoured. I am also aware that most books written a century ago do not include chapters or mention of diseases in bees. One such book directly addresses the issue of diseases in bees bay basically saying they do not exist. Other writing on animal husbandry included chapters on diseases for ay diseases known if they existed. It was as common a practice as it is today. So lack of such information is evidence that there was no disease to write about. Diseases in bees historically coincide with the use of pesticides. So although the entire history of diseases among honey bees cannot possible point at one specific pesticide it does point directly at them as a whole.
This is an insecticide. bees are insects. It is doing what it was intended to do. These pesticides where developed to reduce the impact of pesticides on mammals. bees are not mammals. It is reasonable to expect a product to do what is was developed and intended to do. Any expectation otherwise is grandiose wishful thinking.
This is a product intended to harm insects. that it does so including bees is the reasonable assumption.

The neonics are so much safer for all of us [including bees] than the organophosphates. They are designed to kill insects that feed on the plant. Their presence in pollen and nectar is a concern. However, I have not seen the massive bee dieoffs that I saw when hives had to handle spraying. It's a compromise, do we want cheaper, abundant food or do we want a pristine environment? I want both but don't believe that is possible at this time. Hopefully the next generation of pesticides will be better for bees and humans.This is a product intended to harm insects. that it does so including bees is the reasonable assumption.
Now, if you were un biased and reporting on the facts, and not drawing any conclusions, you may have gotten a warmer response from this forum. The fact of the matter is beekeepers are scared to their wits end. There are things going in agriculture that we very suspicious over, yet the science does not provide us the answers we expect. We are getting tired of agenda pushers, your SO 2008! NOW we are looking for the actual problems and trying to find solutions.
We have government working on it, we have in field beekeepers working on it, we have agri business industry working on it, . ! Millions and millions of dollars spent on our lively hoods, to find a problem that is right under our nose. And the research is leading more so away from in field pesticide use.
Guess what it is Borderbeeman ???
I agree that has been the common thinking. and that thinking is based upon reports. As recently as January of this year those reports are being shown to be flawed. Resulting in some countries restricting the use of some of the pesticides in some countries. so reduced use, a bit of caution being shown by some as questions arise.
Okay so we have a product that was developed and believed to be a better answer. Not a perfect answer. that is well and good. The question is still in the air. Is it a better answer. or dies it have a list of it's own problems just like every other answer has had.
A world needs to be fed. that alone is a lot of pressure to fudge the opinions a bit.
It is also true that bees are never going to be free of harm. Do I think the finger being pointed at this pesticide is being done so with some stretching of the evidence. Obviously to the point of ludicrous in some cases. Bees dying in California 6 months after being exposed to pesticides in the mid west. Okay that is scraping at best. outright harassment maybe. Maybe it is someone with one more scrap of evidence in the fringe of a large pile of more incriminating evidence also. I can't say.
You seem to see this as a better answer. I am not so sure. I think it may be just another brand of poison.

Mal nutrition !
But just two miles away - in sheep/ dairy country - I could be up to my boot-tops in frogspawn in any ditch I choose in a few weeks time. Similarly, we have witnessed a dramatic collapse in the populations of 19 common bird species on almost all arable farms across the UK and Europe. A recent report from the EU Commission says that 300 million birds have disappeared in less than 15 years, from a total population of 600 million.
So: bee populations have crashed on farmland - not on mountain or woodland areas, nor on sheep and dairy farmed areas - bees living there are just fine; insectivorous bird populations have crashed on farmland - not on coasts, forests or mountain areas: frog, toad and newt populations have crashed in the same farmland areas.
So that is my agenda. I want to know why this is happening. The best hypothesis that makes sense to me, is the global use of a family of hyper-toxic, highly persistent, highly soluble, INSECTICIDIES that have virtually erased insects from every farm field in America and Europe. No bees - because insecticides kill bees - they are insects; no butterflies or bumblebees, or lacewings, or ladybugs - same reason. No insectivorous birds because insect-eating birds need insects to feed their chicks; no frogs or toads because a. they need insects to eat and b. they have semi-permeable skins and their tadpoles are swimming in a cocktail of pesticides.
I totally AGREE with you that SCIENCE IS NEVER GOING TO ANSWER THIS ISSUE - because the big money running the science is absolutely determined that it will never wander anywhere near the truth.
But you say you know what the answer is??
"And the research is leading more so away from in field pesticide use. Guess what it is Borderbeeman ???[/"
Please share it with us. Seriously - if you can explain bee losses, bird losses, amphibian losses - all on arable farmland but nOT on dairy farms or sheep farms, then the Nobell Prize is waiting for you. So seriously, do tell.

This is my first post in this thread, I hope I posting in the correct place.
I was thinking. . . I was reading that some people kept some hives in a black tent and the bees were ready to go a month earlier in the Spring.
Is it possible to have a hive that you bring inside (like an observation hive with a tube through the window for access) to keep them warm and get them to lay drones and queens, AI the queens (too cold for a mating flight), and get them laying in time for the Spring flowers?
From my reading, it seems possible, is it feasible?


text: No team likes to have a hole in its scouting report on a draft prospect and, right now, there is a veritable vacuum in the dossier of Ohio State wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., potentially one of the most dynamic players in the Class of 2007. That's why the Ohio State campus figures to be overrun by league scouts next Thursday, as Ginn attempts to run in front of NFL personnel executives for the first time since suffering a severe left foot sprain while scoring on the opening kickoff of the Fiesta Bowl. Ginn, who sprinted 93 yards with the kickoff and then was injured in the ensuing celebration, remains the most intriguing wild card in the top part of the first round. Perhaps, even, in the top 10. He couldn't run at the combine and couldn't perform with his Buckeyes teammates at the pro day workouts. Ginn will need to convince scouts, first, that he is physically whole. And, second, that his blistering speed has not been diminished by the foot injury, which has taken nearly three months to rehabilitate. There are a few teams that retain lingering doubts about how good a receiver Ginn is, and whether he is destined to be only a return guy. But not many. "He's so fluid, I don't know how (other scouts) worry about it," said the college scouting director from one NFC club. "The only thing we've asked ourselves about, after the injury, of course, is his size. But he's a tough kid and he was plenty durable before he hurt his foot. We think he's a big-timer." And if he runs a small time in the 40 on Thursday, and fills in the conspicuous hole on his résumé, Ginn is apt to catapult himself way up in the first round. Around The League • The report by Pat Yasinkas of the Charlotte Observer, noting that the Carolina Panthers would unload three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kris Jenkins for the right price, was a little surprising, but not overly so. Because of his reluctance to participate in the offseason training program, the six-year veteran has been a challenge for the Carolina staff. His weight is a perennial problem and Jenkins, 27, missed nearly all of 2004 and 2005 with shoulder and knee injuries. That he was named to the Pro Bowl squad in 2006 was more than a mild surprise, since the Panthers' staff didn't feel he played that well. Carolina made a big investment last spring to sign unrestricted free-agent Maake Kemoeatu, and he's essentially the same type of player, a closed-area run-stuffer, that Jenkins is. And the Panthers have solid depth at tackle, with young veterans such as Damione Lewis and Jordan Carstens. Sometimes a team just runs out of patience with a guy and decides that, if the offer is right, it will move him. It appears the Panthers have reached that point with Jenkins, who only a few years ago was regarded by many as the league's most dominant inside force. • Despite the rampant optimism surrounding the arrival of quarterback Matt Schaub in Houston, and the unbridled belief exhibited so far in a guy who has started only two regular-season contests, the former Atlanta backup faces one of the same problems that predecessor David Carr confronted. Beyond two-time Pro Bowl performer Andre Johnson, who is coming off a brilliant 2006 campaign in which he snagged 103 catches, there are no proven wide receivers. The Texans thought they addressed that longtime shortcoming last spring, when they acquired Eric Moulds from Buffalo, hoping that he would be a solid complement. But Moulds notched just 57 receptions, averaged fewer than 10 yards per catch, was released early this offseason and remains unemployed. So now what's left after Johnson? Not much. There are six other veteran receivers on the roster, counting Jerome Mathis, who hasn't demonstrated that he's anything more than a return specialist, and they've combined for a total of 74 career catches. Four of the six have five career catches or less. Johnson has averaged 77.8 receptions in his four seasons in the NFL, but he's going to need some help, as demonstrated in the past. Where he gets it -- and more important, it seems, where Schaub finds another dependable wide receiver -- is anybody's guess at this point. • Since the 2007 free-agency period isn't over yet, at least technically, it's a bit premature to look ahead to the top veteran players who might be available in the pool next spring. But one emerging player who bears watching is Oakland cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, whose contract provides him the right to void his deal and become an unrestricted free agent. The team's first-round choice in the 2003 draft, Asomugha didn't have an interception in his first three seasons, when no one was quite sure if his best position was cornerback or safety. But the former University of California star settled in at cornerback, had eight interceptions and has developed into a top-shelf cover defender. Given the kinds of contracts cornerbacks are landing in the open market, Asomugha figures to be a very rich man this time next year, if he follows up his 2006 performance with a strong 2007 season. • The arrest of Indianapolis reserve defensive lineman Darrell Reid last weekend, on charges of marijuana possession, could hurt the Colts in a lot of ways. Reid became the fourth current or former Colts' player arrested since the team's Super Bowl XLI victory, which will not sit well with an organization that doesn't tolerate such behavior. And that, of course, is the overriding issue. But the potential loss of Reid could have an on-field effect on the Colts as well. Indianapolis coaches feel Reid, an undrafted free-agent in 2005, has really made solid strides in two seasons in the league and is poised to become a consistent contributor for them. The former University of Minnesota standout, who has excelled on special teams for the Colts (watch him run down as a wedge-buster sometime), can play end and tackle on defense, has nice quickness and emerging playmaking skills. He was definitely a guy moving up in the team's plans for 2007. The list: The league awarded its compensatory draft picks for 2007 at the recent owners meeting in Phoenix, and Baltimore and New England led the way, with each team netting four additional selections. That's not unusual, since the Ravens and Patriots rank among the top 12 franchises in terms of compensatory picks received since the current system was implemented in 1994. Here's the top 12: Dallas, 26 compensatory picks; Baltimore, 25; St. Louis, 24; Green Bay, 23; Buffalo, 22; Philadelphia, 22; New England, 19; Pittsburgh, 18; Tennessee, 17; Jacksonville, 16; New York Giants, 16; and Tampa Bay, 16. Stat of the week: Seven-year veteran defensive tackle Darwin Walker, acquired by Buffalo in the trade that sent linebacker Takeo Spikes to the Philadelphia Eagles, should certainly aid the Bills' anemic inside pass rush. Walker has 26½ sacks in the past five seasons. In that same stretch, Buffalo's defensive tackles registered just 29 sacks combined. Punts: A few teams, most notably Indianapolis, have demonstrated recent interest in tailback Kevan Barlow, who was released by the New York Jets last month. Barlow is an enigmatic back, for sure, a runner with talent, but a guy who has suddenly bounced around a lot. With the departure of Dominic Rhodes in free agency, the Colts need to add a tailback to complement second-year veteran Joseph Addai, who will assume the bulk of the ball-carrying chores now. ... The Atlanta Falcons are experimenting with an offensive package in which return man/cornerback Allen Rossum is aligned as a tailback. ... Despite some speculation that Eric Steinbach would play left tackle in Cleveland, it appears the former Bengals star will stay at left guard. ... Carolina quietly added journeyman safety Deke Cooper recently to help address a dire shortage at the position. The only veteran safety of consequence on the roster is the venerable Mike Minter, and he has announced that 2007 will be his final season. Shaun Williams and Colin Branch, both of whom started at times for the Panthers in 2006, are free agents and remain unsigned, and there are no current plans to bring them back for 2007. ... The Minnesota Vikings restructured the contract of tight end Jim Kleinsasser this week. The veteran will be challenged for the starting job by former New York Giants' backup Visanthe Shiancoe, who was signed as a free agent. ... Dallas guard Marco Rivera is expected to soon announce his retirement. ... Atlanta met with a pair of free-agent quarterbacks this week, Jay Fiedler and Joey Harrington, and hopes to sign a veteran backup before the start of minicamps. ... It appears that Daunte Culpepper, still rehabilitating from knee problems, will not fully participate in Miami's first minicamp. The last word: "Money. And winning. And let's be honest, money is probably more important than winning to most of them. So how do they get money? They get new contracts because they play well. So help them (play well), you know? And then they'll respond to you." -- first-year Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin on what motivates players Len Pasquarelli is a senior writer at ESPN.com.

Alan Warrick II, a native of San Antonio, was baptized at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church and grew up in his parent's home on Burleson Street in Dignowity Hill, and with his Grandparents on Chateau Street in Willowwood. His parents were one of the first families to restore a home in Dignowity Hill in the early 1980's and his grandparents on both sides of the family, made up the bedrock of Eastside San Antonio. Their service and pride in their community instilled the deep love he has for District 2. That's why he renovated and moved into his current home on Chateau, surrounded by family and friends; and demonstrating his commitment to the community and service. He has many connections to service in the community and politics in the District. His family has been continually active within District 2 for many years. His grandfather, Joseph A. Scott Jr., was a key business owner and political figure for over 40 years. He assisted candidates in many winning elections and also ran for the State Legislature in the 1970's. His father, Alan E. Warrick, served as a Municipal Court Judge for the City of San Antonio from 1982 to 1989; and his mother, Dr. Cynthia Warrick, was elected and served on the Board of Trustees of the Alamo Colleges from 1986 through 1989. She also owned and operated a pharmacy in the East San Antonio Medical Center. He is proud of his family and the contributions that they made to the community and now it is time for Alan to take a larger role in the growth and future of District 2.
After graduating from Florida A&M University with a degree in architecture, he returned home to work under his grandfather in the company Mr. Scott started more than 30 years ago. In 2008, Alan became the CEO of World Technical Services, Inc. (WTS), WTS is a nonprofit organization that provides meaningful employment and training for individuals with disabilities throughout the state of Texas. Individuals with disabilities have much higher levels of unemployment than the non-disabled population; and WTS is a solution for so many people who need a genuine opportunity to succeed. Alan can relate this mission to the work that is needed to advocate and create more opportunities for employment and economic development for the residents of District 2.

CEH V6 - passed
For preparation I not only took the official iClass course, but also the following resources:
- The CEH Prep Guide: The Comprehensive Guide to Certified Ethical Hacking
- Certified Ethical Hacker Exam Prep
- CEH: Official Certified Ethical Hacker Review Guide: Exam 312-50, Review
- Flashcards by samsclass.
A homelab would help as well, if you haven't have one already.
Afterwards I think that I may have studied way too much if it was only for passing the exam. However, as it was more important for me to learn some new things, which I did, I don't see this as a waste of time or efforts.
Thanks again, Don, for the great opportunity you gave me with the CEH iClass giveaway - it certainly was much appreciated.

Have you ever stolen melons from a neighborhood grocery store, thrown a fishbowl out a window, or been on the trail of a dangerous criminal? Young apprentice Lemony Snicket has experienced all of the above, and he chronicles his adventures in the new mystery book, When Did You See Her Last?, the second book in the All the Wrong Question series. Daniel Handler, the "official representative of Lemony Snicket," recently spoke with TFK Kid Reporter Kristen Rigsby about the new book.
What gave Mr. Snicket the idea to write this series?
I guess he would look back on his life, as to when he was an apprentice at Stain'd by the Sea, and he thought it was worth writing down what kind of sinister things he found there.
How does When Did You See Her Last? continue the mystery introduced in the first book of the series?
Depressingly. It does it in such a way that the second volume is much more upsetting than the first volume. The first volume, Who Could That Be At This Hour?, focuses on theft, and this focuses on kidnapping, and I think that most people find kidnapping more upsetting than theft. I guess it's a form of theft in a way.
Mr. Snicket focuses on one question: "When did you see her last?" Why did Mr. Snicket choose this question as the "wrong question?"
I like that question. I think it is the most crucial one for people who read the book. What seems like a simple question as to where you saw this young woman last turns out to be a more complicated one.
Mr. Snicket's second case leads him to mysterious settings and introduces him to unique characters. Does Mr. Snicket find his new whereabouts and associates enjoyable, unfortunate, or just fate?
That is a great choice. Enjoyable, no. Unfortunate, yes. Just fate, maybe.
Mr. Snicket often makes spontaneous decisions. How do these actions lead to the predicaments he gets himself into?
I think Mr. Snicket makes spontaneous decisions because sometimes you have no idea what decisions you are going to face. You knew that you were going to come here and ask me questions, but if a fire broke out, and we had to decide to leave, we would leave in whatever way seemed most convenient when we made that decision. We would make that decision quickly.
Why does Mr. Snicket focus on the wrong questions instead of the right questions? Does Mr. Snicket think the plot of his book would turn out differently if he focused on the right questions?
I think wrong things are more interesting, and I think Mr. Snicket probably agrees with me. I don't know if the book would turn out differently, but I think the book would sound differently and read differently.
What does Mr. Snicket hope his readers will learn from the series?
I think Mr. Snicket hopes that his readers will learn to read something else other than Mr. Snicket's work.
Can you give us a little preview into the plot of Mr. Snicket's next book in the series?
Each volume in All the Wrong Questions focuses on a specific crime. And the crimes escalate. So in the way that kidnapping is worse than theft, than the third crime will be worse than kidnapping, as much worse than kidnapping as kidnapping is worse than theft. It will be getting direr, more sinister, and more unnerving.
Most of Mr. Snicket's books contain elements of mystery and suspense. Why does Mr. Snicket enjoy writing books in these genres?
It's hard to think of a story that's interesting that doesn't have an element of suspense. Like for instance, when I take the occasional pause when I'm answering you (pause), it increases the suspense because you think to yourself, 'I wonder what's going to happen next.' I think that's interesting.

Sound rite, Wrong????? :confused:
To me that guys a goober.
You don't use wheel bearing grease on a firearm unless it's an emergency type thing and that's all that's handy.
I never put lube on the locking lugs, and I don't think I ever heard of anyone else doing it.
The other areas he mentioned sounds right.
And what's with him mentioning about the bolt and charging handle breaking? Never heard that before
i don't think you ever need more than a light lubricant on the AR-15 series.
wheel-bearing grease? really?--LOL!
Didn't watch it, but I just put ATF on all the rubby spots. Grease makes them not work just as well as no oil does.
Hell. Now I am going too call the fat pig up.
"Hay you friggen Goober. Get the hell over my house and clean this grease off you fat ass Goober."
42 years since I touched one of these things. Now I have too clean grease off the damn things cause I listened too Goober.
Must be that fat REMF Sargent Goobers son, who wanted us all too put grease on our ammo. Said it would make the weapons feed better. WTF. Goober.
Dirt, grease. No Goober no. :nono:
Think he lasted a week before someone capped him in the ass.
I got too ask you guys first. I hate Goobers. :deadhorse
well i don't know that wheel bearing grease won't work as i have never tried it.
if you were going to store the rifle for lets say 20 years in a tube underground grease would be a good idea.
all the AR needs for functional purposes is just a little bit of lighter oils / mercron 3 type of ATF works well. clean motor can be used if lightly applied for a substitute of the mil-spec CLPs and so on.
i have run the m-16 bone dry through an auto rifle course with no malfunctions of any kind. i have also seen the m-16 run without the gas rings on the bolt.
so there is some slack with lubricants on the AR series. you don't have to buy mil-spec military lube from some guru.
hehe 4th! ya got to watch out for those you-tube videos--
i just saw a skateboarder/slacker bust his nutz trying to skate down a railing!
there some high-IQ folks that post to the you-tube!--LOL
Surplus LSA is what - $10 a QUART? Mobile One around half that. I'll leave the grease for the guns that called for it - like Garand and M14. They use a "finer" grease than wheel bearing grease and it seemed to work OK. The M60 liked a version of LSA with Teflon and it also seemed to work well in that application. The red synthetic chassis grease would be my choice if I was going to USE grease. VERY slick, water resistant, fine and sticks to stuff very well.
I would be tempted to use a dry lubricant like "Dry Slide" or similar product in dirty conditions - like the sandbox. The stuff is slick but not sticky so it does not mix with dirt and sand creating an abrasive goo.
My MGs use CLP or LSA and seem to run just fine and with acceptable wear. I do tend to overlubricate figuring the excess will be thrown off. My glasses attest to this the first time I fire most any of my guns!!
To answer the OP, I think the guy is goofy. When dino grease gets old or cold it gets VERY stiff.......
I use LSA on all my guns, that is what it is made for.
Grease is a magnet for unburnt powder in AR rifles, as stated before LSA & CLP are what most Military Unites use. In extreme weather areas no lube other than a silicon wipe down is acceptable or non at all. The only grease I use is Graphite and thats for long term storage.

In keeping with this academic theme, the conference was styled as a series of talks given by a variety of people -- educators, programmers, librarians, PhD candidates, grad students. Talks were given appropriately long-winded titles like: "The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom" and "Sins of Omission? An Exploratory Evaluation of Wikipedia's Topical Coverage."
Despite the surroundings in which they found themselves, WIkipedians found plenty of other ways to contribute to the proceedings. There were people blogging on the event. Voluntary transcribers could be seen in just about every room, dutifully documenting each and every word spoken. Others captured the conference via audio and video streams. What follows, our account of two days of Wikimania.
Day 1.
Quality over quantity9:10 am — Lights, carpets, mikes, rows of chairs. Laptops sprinkled liberally into the audience. Digital cameras, video cameras, cell phones; t-shirts, jeans, khaki pants, suits, Hawaiian shirts; name tags. Dudes.
Jimbo Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, takes the podium and begins to outline plans for wikiversity, wikiwyg, WiktionaryZ, and wiki water bottles (just joking about the bottles).
He spends time advocating for "stable versions," a hot-button issue in the Wikipedia community. The idea is to keep on-record entries that cannot be touched (vandals, beware). His words to the wise Wikipedians in attendance: quality over quantity. We have a lot of articles; it's time to make them more accurate and readable.
Britannica vs. Wikipedia
10:45 am — Surprise, surprise, Britannica doesn't like the Wikis. But, for all the academics who thumb their noses at Wikipedia, who think its level of fact-mangling is rivaled only by Bush administration, get this: according to an article in Nature written by Jim Giles, for every three errors in Britannica, Wikipedia only has four — only four!
Giles explains that for his piece in Nature, he recruited scientists to compare 50 articles in Britannica to articles on the same subjects in Wikipedia. But slow down, Giles cautions calmly. Take it with a spoon of salt. This was a journalistic exercise, not scientific research. Apparently the folks at Britannica missed that distinction, and they've embarked on a balls-to-the-wall mission to discredit Giles's work since the storycame out this past winter. In a report refuting theNature article, Britannicans didn't pull any punches:
"Almost everything about the journal's investigation, from the criteria for identifying inaccuracies to the discrepancy between the article text and its headline, was wrong and misleading."
Giles laughs. "I have to say, this is just about the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my writing."

Would you like bacon with your beer?
Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon revamps image under new management
After packing away ornaments and taking down the Christmas tree, you may be looking for a place to unwind and escape from the bustle of the holiday season.
Dave Dayler, owner of Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon, promises to make everything better - with bacon.
Located at 17000 W. Capitol Drive, Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon has wide-screen televisions on each wall, a full bar and open seating area, an arcade and all-you-can-eat bacon daily during happy hour.
Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon has daily specials sure to entertain sports fans, music fans and food fans alike.
Team trivia, free pool, a live DJ, karaoke and live local bands are part of the weekly line up at the bar and grill.
Synchronized LED lights line the front windows and a soft, neon backlight illuminates the bar, which has 15 craft beers on tap.
On the opposite side of the bar are an air hockey table and pool table as well as darts, video games, and a small banquet area.
In the heart of the building is a full seating area with tall bar tables and stools surrounded by televisions.
The menu features bacon appetizers, bacon pizza, bacon burgers and bacon brownies.
Jennine Paoli is the manager at the Saloon and said Packers games are the best at the bar and grill.
"We have free halftime food, free touchdown shots and bubble machines," she said. "People love it. We call ourselves the Brookfield Cheers."
Before and after the bacon
Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon hasn't always been a place to brag about, however.
Just 14 months ago, Saloon on Calhoun was known as a place to avoid.
"There were bar fights, service was bad, it was poorly-run," Paoli said. "A lot of people stopped coming because of the atmosphere."
Pamela Arteman of Pewaukee was one of the lost customers turned off by the poor service.
"The place was dirty and I didn't have a good time," Arteman said of a past experience. "The glasses were dirty and I was afraid to drink out of them. I would always ask for my drinks in a bottle."
Under old management, Paoli had to multi-task as a bartender, waitress, runner and cook. Dayler heard about the deteriorating business and teamed up with Paoli to make changes.
"I wanted to keep the name and revamp the image," Dayler said. "Saloon on Calhoun sounded dirty. I wanted to make things fun."
Dayler changed the menu, adding a porky twist to popular favorites like mozzarella sticks wrapped in bacon, chicken tenders with bacon barbecue sauce and bacon Alfredo.
He and Paoli even added "bacon" to the name of the bar.
"Everybody likes bacon and everybody likes to have fun," Paoli said. "Why not combine the two?"
Dayler also helped the wait staff change its attitude toward the business and its patrons.
They removed all of the old seating and replaced it with tall bar tables, hand built by the staff in a team effort that represents the business' makeover.
Consistency and quality are important factors in maintaining a healthy business, Dayler said.
"You never know when someone is coming in for the first time," he said. "You can never make another first impression."
Paoli takes pride in getting to know customers by name and knowing their likes and preferences.
"I know your name, I know what you like to drink and I know how to make you feel comfortable and what you need to have a good time," she said.
Customers have already noticed a change, submitting positive feedback on comment cards at the bar and grill.
"I decided to try this place again with my sister after receiving an online coupon offer," Arteman said. "Things were totally different. We had lunch and it was great. Now she and her friends come all the time."
No one will know for sure if the new atmosphere or the new menu is to credit in the increase in business, but Dayler and Paoli are willing to bet on the bacon, making Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon the best place to have a beer.

'Nationality can only be determined conclusively by the courts. It is determined by applying legislation to the facts of an individual's circumstances, date and place of birth.
Nationality legislation in the United Kingdom states that anyone who was born in the United kingdom before 1st January 1983 was automatically a Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies, under section 4 of the British Nationality Act (BNA) 1948 (unless their father was a serving foreign diplomat at the time of their birth). The individual would then have have automatically become a British citizen under section 11 (1) of the BNA 1981, when that Act came into force on 1st January 1983.
Anyone who is born in the United Kingdom on or after 1st January 1983, whose mother or legitimate father is either, a British citizen or settled in the United Kingdom at the time of birth is automatically a British citizen under Section 1(1) of the BNA 1981. "Settled" means that the person is ordinarily resident in the UK and free of any immigration restrictions,'

"This Bondo brand Fiberglass Resin consists of only a one-part solution and has the hardner already mixed in."
PLEASE READ THE DIRECTIONS ON THE CAN FIRST!! No it dosn't!! It comes with the hardener seperatly and YOU have to mix it in your self. It is NOT already mixed in, repeat NOT already mixed. You'll have a big mess if you use the resin directly out of the can without using the hardner as it will never cure.
I don't want to see you get into trouble doing this.
Also it DOES heat up a little when curing, that is the normal chemical reaction that happens when the curing process happens when you mix the resin with the hardener. If your fiber glass resin isn't too thick, 1/4" or more, it won't heat up enough to do any "possible" damage. I lined my PVC ANH trooper helmet using the same resin fg stuff you have in your pic and I got it a 1/2" thick puddle of resin in one part of the helmet and man was it HOT!!!!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Aquatic Delight
|i love your tank!
Well I got my 75 gallon set up this past weekend. Had to reinforce my cheap Petsmart stand, which was rated for a 75 gallon already. But now this thing can support four 75 gallon aquariums!!! As we head into this coming weekend, sadly I will be tearing down the 75 gallon already to replace it, with yet another 75 gallon. I didn't notice that my new tank had a small 2" (barely noticeable hairline) scratch on the side I picked to be the front (it also has 2 4" long barely noticeable hairline scratches on one end). It had to come that way since I blanket wrapped this thing and treated it with white gloves. I know for a fact I didn't cause that scratch. Bad news is I painted the back and sloped Eco-Complete against the back, so I am guessing it it may now be scratched not to mention the time needed to remove the paint. My LFS that I purchased it from just got another shipment of brand new shiny 75 gallon tanks yesterday, fresh from the distributor. They sell them for $75 so it's not a ton of money, but I shouldn't have to pay twice for one aquarium without scratches. I guess there is always Craigslist to sell the first one. I'm just bummed because I hate stressing the plants and breaking stems when I replant them, not to mention I just spent an entire weekend setting this up. It also ticks me off that I was sold a scratched aquarium and now need to take a loss and buy another one. The scratches are barely noticeable and my wife and kids think I'm crazy for doing this. But I know they are there and it bugs the tar out of me!!! Obviously they don't understand the passion we have for our planted tanks. Had I bought this on CL or used, I would expect a scratch or two. But buying something brand new you expect it to be in perfect condition. Either way, this weekend will be spent swapping out my brand new 75 gallon with yet another brand new (and hopefully scratch free) 75 gallon!!!!
Oh, and the scratches are on the outside of the aquarium, further adding to my suspicion that it was sold to me that way.
|Can't wait to see your new setup.
|The 55 looked great, I can't wait to see the 75!
Ugh, what a long day. Got all my fish and shrimp transferred to a temporary 37 gallon with the canister filters. Reinforced my cheap Petsmart stand by adding 4 additional cross braces on the bottom, and a total of 8 addition support braces hidden inside the cabinets. Reinforced the bottom inside the cabinets and also ran some additional pieces to help better support the top. Overall it turned out well. Even though it was already rated to handle a 75 gallon, I just felt the quality of the stand was an issue and something that would be in the back of my mind. Now that it has been retrofitted this thing will have no issues handling a 75. Now I almost wish I bought that 90 gallon instead....
Found out my "Flip Top" legs on my Catalina Aquarium light will not fit the rim of the 75 gallon. Just when I thought I was getting by cheap on this upgrade. Had to order their regular legs for $20 + $10 shipping. Oh well.
Anyways, I also got the wall behind the tank painted. Scratch another thing off the "honey do" list, although I'm sure my wife will have me painting the rest of my man cave tomorrow or Sunday.
The only thing remaining is the fun part, which is setting up the new 75, scape it, and add the fish. That will have to wait until morning though.
|Thats a nice looking aquarium! Good luck on the swap out. It recently took me ~6 hours to swap out a planted 55.
It's going to be a long day.....I took the day off from work and started the tear down this morning. (I'm swapping from the 55 to a new 75 gallon). My wife added to the workload though and wants me to paint the wall behind the aquarium as though I didn't have my hands full already. I guess she makes a good point. Our house is only 5 months old and we have the cruddy builders flat white paint everywhere. I'm sure in the long run I will be glad I did as it would suck even more to tear down an established tank just to paint.
Also going to to take this opportunity to reinforce my cheap Petsmart particle board stand by adding solid wood braces on the sides, top and bottom. Its rated to hold the weight, but I will feel much better about it.
New tank should hopefully be up and running by tomorrow night. Fish, shrimp, nerite snails and plants will be housed in my 37 gallon cube with tank water and established filters until their new home is ready.
Got the new tank background painted black last night and final coat this morning. Heading off to Home Depot for a few 90 degree braces for the stand reinforcements and painting supplies .
Not bad at all, I actually like the scape, especially the lotus/h. diformis contrast. Looking forward to the 75G replacement tank with the new plants.
One comment: you might want to check the temperature ranges for your fish. The majority of the fish on your list might do better at high 70's low 80's.
Keep the pictures coming!
Picked up a brand new 75 gallon today for $75 which I will swap for the 55. The lack of depth in the 55 gallon really made it difficult to scape the way I wanted it to look.
I just hope my 3 x 54W T5HO Catalina Aquarium light fixture will put enough light on the front of the tank where my HC and Glosso will be placed. I don't expect it to be an issue.
Guess I know what I will be doing this weekend....
|Great looking tank.
|Tank looks good. Thanks for the advice on my filter selection! Would love to pick up the old plants!
Need to start working on the tank tonight. Received my order of Limnophilia Aromatica and Ludwigia inclinata 'cuba' today. Monday my Hydrotriche hottoniiflora, Mayaca fluviatilis, Heteranthera zosterfolia and Taiwan moss arrived. Just waiting for my 5 stems of Blyxa japonica and 3 stems of Ranunculus inundatus to be delivered tomorrow.
I'm ditching my easier starter plants like the wisteria and dwarf sag. They look nice but grow too fast with high light and CO2. They quickly overgrow the tank. Also pulling the Bacopa, Red Tiger Lotus, crypt wendeti, crypt undulata and crypt parva. Still debating on the Amazon sword.
Just need to figure out where everything should be planted for the best "curb appeal". Any advice would be appreciated and welcomed.
As far as the old plants, watch for an ROAK sometime later this week.

|Very nice tank. In my opinion get rid of that dwarf sag it took over my tank too hard to control. Is that rosefolia behind the driftwood?
