|Topic Review (Newest First)
I like it, but the turtle is going to outgrow that tank really fast.
|This is awesome. I know this is 2 years ago, are you in still in the Boston area?
Very inspiring!
I was trying to make a viv / paludarium like this for my Crested Gecko (they're temperate rainforest dwellers so I figured the water would keep the humidity up while adding a neat aspect to the tank. I had trouble getting it all water tight but now I'm wondering if I even need to, perhaps I will try again! In fact, I like the idea of supporting the land mass above and allowing the water to be under....perhaps i just need to look into a different style!
You've inspired me to try again I think!
|Really nice results! Hopefully that pine wont rot.
I would love to see your final results! A friend gave me 4 turtles (little RES, 2 inch long) that one of his clients gave to him (he´s a vet, the owner of the RES didn´t want them anymore).
They gave me a "turtle home" which is barely enough right now, so I´m thinking about building a nice terrarium with natural plants, and keeping just 2 turtles (4 is too much of a mess and they are growing under my care).
Any ideas about the tank size? I was thinking on dividing the "land" section from the water section with a glass divider, and planting some house plants on the back, using driftwood ramps for the Res to climb.
What kind of bulbs do you use for them?
Bumping this old thread because I have just started construction on a sequel to this vivarium!
I moved to a new apartment this past summer. The tank was impossible to move with the land area intact, and the silicone holding the land area retaining walls in place had started to give out anyway. I chose to remove the landmass entirely, and ever since my turtle has been stuck with a barren tank containing only a 'floating turtle dock' for land. Needless to say he has been giving me the dirty eye ever since.
You can see above where the plastic had begun to separate, and how the cork paneling was falling apart. For those wondering, the cork lasted about three years fully submerged before it began to disintegrate.
Version 2
I have been planning the second coming of this tank since around November. My primary goal is to correct a flaw with the original design: the land mass wasted a lot of swimming space. By creating a wall, I had a land area that was as deep as the water, roughly 14 inches. This is far more soil depth than the plants needed for rooting, and wasted a lot of space that could have been used for swimming.
As shown above, the big change to the design is to move to a shelf for the land, rather than a full wall. This will open up a lot of space under the landmass for swimming area, and provide a nice dark underwater cave for the turtle to sit in when he should feel so inclined. The shelf will be supported by two log columns.
Aside from this change, I am preserving the main layout: a lowered "beach" that will be slightly below the waterline, making it easy for the turtle to climb out. This will be filled with gravel and rocks, and have some focused light for sunning. A few inches up from that will be the primary landmass, which will be filled with soil and planted. As before, the front of the landmass will be covered with cork, and this time I will also be covering the back wall of the tank. I'm hoping some climbing plants and moss can utilize this as a growing surface.
I built the first prototype out of acrylic, and quickly realized that it was unable to span the distance between the two columns without bowing. Unable to source a thicker plastic locally, I talked to my father about using wood (he is a boatbuilder and lobsterman in Maine). He said that I could easily expect several years of structural integrity using wood, so I moved ahead with that.
The platform was constructed out of three pieces of pine: the shelf bottom, front, and a divider between beach and land areas. I used stainless steel wood screws and Gorilla Glue to attach the pieces, and then sealed the seams with silicone.
Next I cut some cork panels, and attached those to the front of the shelf with finishing nails and Gorilla Glue. I left an angle where the land and beach join, to help disguise the transition. You can see above the finished shelf sitting on the log columns.
Tonight I intend to borrow a small tank from a friend as a temporary space for the turtle, so I can drain his tank and mount the shelf. I have some new coconut fiber for the land, but still need to source some gravel and rocks for the beach.
If you'd like to follow a long, I'm publishing information on my Aquarium blog (I also use this for my reef tank, so expect a bunch of mixed information), and I will update this thread as I go!
Nice set up. I like it a lot. I had a RES as a kid, was a great pet. Currently, I have a leopard tortoise, much less messy than the water variety... I love water turtles, but Don't particularly want the work.
Actually, the size law is a federal law passed in the 70's to prevent spread of salmonella. No turtle or tortoise under four inches in size may be sold other than for educational purposes. (o.k., my Hermes was under 4", but he did visit my math classroom, and it's not illegal to buy them, just to sell them at that size). This law came about when there were tons of RES (and other turtles) in tiny bowls in dime stores, and they were tiny. There were tons of salmonella concerns about it (water turtles are worse than tortoises cause they poo in the water and spread the salmonella around more, but all reptiles carry some salmonella risk, just like all cows and people have e-coli in their guts). I wish the law had been passed for the sake of the turtles (tiny turtles living six months in a bowl only to die a horrid death is not good).
I usually only carry tortoises or mostly land turtles at my store. I don't like the mess of the water turtles, and no one wants to house them properly--20 long tanks, no lighting etc. SIGH. I also get tons of people wanting dime sized or quarter sized turtles. I explain the law and they are pissed. they say I had a turtle that lived six months as a kid, it did great. Uh huh, try sixty years for a life span....
There are many tourist traps and other places that sell small turtles, but they are usually shut down fairly quickly. I call the authorities on any I find out about around here... it's just a horrid predicament for the turtles, even if the law is only about salmonella, if it can save a few turtles, all the better.
now, someone recently came in and bought a huge 75g set up for her turtle, and all the works, and a great big cannister filter and tons of great lighting. Basically asked me to go through with her, and recommend the best of the best products for her turtle. That was awesome. Not only did I make a great sale, but I also knew an animal was being well cared for. Those kinds of customers make me really happy!
Mine are absolutely not water tight. The coconut fiber and other substrate materials I used don't seem to be bothered by it or filter out into the water. The plants seem to grow just great in the swampy substrate.
The BBQ site is running again as of last month.
I had a few leaks in my walls, just on the rear support walls, I was really questioning whether or not this needs to me watertight. I thought about just drilling some holes in the acrylic and then the water would be able to cycle through, yet I concluded that wouldn't really do anything unless I wanted to put a powerhead or something over there....and I don't. So watertight it is.
Picked up another tube of silicone and away we go.
and by the way, you should get that bbq site back up, I had a online kitchen video, cookingwithbrett.com, but my server crashed and I lost everything, which is a bummer.
Lower section has 3 inches of course gravel and then the coconut/soil mixture, and then its top with two inches of the same gravel thats in the tank. The top layer keeps it from being knocked into the water. I don't know how it effects water quality, but I don't really care either since nothing is growing in it.
Having the soil there lets me grow that one plant in the corner. I think its the 'mondo grass' crap they sell at pet stores that isn't really aquatic. Its taken off like crazy growing emersed in that spot though, I can see the roots going all the way to the bottom of the tank.
nice, I'll check on these parts this week, hopefully be able to get this in for a weekend project next week.
In your lower section, is that just built up with rocks, or did you use your coconut/soil mixture there as well. Did this effect your tank water at all?
I see that frog moss is dirt cheap really, so I'll see if I can find it locally to check its style.
I've had it setup for just a little over a year. The cork bark base holds up qute well, but the turtle likes to claw on it to pull himself up on to the land. He's pulled off quite a few chunks of various sizes, and in a few spots if you look close you can see the cork panel sans-bark. It still looks good though. I imagine you'd probably want to drain, dry and replace the panels every 2, 2.5 years or so in a permenant setup. As is, I'll probably end up moving to a bigger tank before its even an issue.
I basically made two enclosed sections, one slightly lower than the primary land area, so it serves as sort of a 'step', and also provides an area with about two inches of water and a basking stone. He likes to sit there, still sort of in the water but mostly dry and basking.
cool, nice to have a some likeness here.
How has that bark been holding up? You have had the tank for how long now?
Edit - I see you ordered from herp supplies. Good thing, as I have been in touch with them extensively awaiting the arrival of the zilla combo dome. A setup like this is very nice, and I really would like to recreate your basking area in some fashion, I'm thinking more of a bow style in one of the corners. With a similar rock staircase.
I took a few new shots. The lighting on this tank (and my living room in general) makes it pretty hard to photograph: there is intense light in a very small space from the compact fluorescent fixture on the plants, and then little to nothing in the water space, since I'm not trying to grow and plants in there. I aimed his basking light as best I could into the water to help out, but these probably aren't much more useful than what you've already seen on my site.

Some crazy random house plant thats been growing like mad:
The lawn area, freshly trimmed:
Again, not terribly helpful in terms of figuring out layout or anything. I'm starting to plan a new, larger tank that will be less devoted to the land area and more open for swimming. I've got a few ideas around using the cork bark again to keep it natural looking, but I'm looking forward to seeing how your project progresses in regards to aquatic plants.
agreed, on all counts, great setup. How are things now that the tank has been broken in?
EDIT - whoops! I liked this setup so much I went to the thread again and didn't even notice I had already posted.....Congrats again!!!

Excellent song, one of my fav's.
Excellent song, one of my fav's.
We the willing have done so much with so little for so long we can now do anything with nothing
Yes, that is really nice guitar and voice. The words are a bit melancholy. Where was this filmed?
This song reminds me of Agnes in the book "David Copperfield" by Dickens -waiting and waiting and waiting for David. David eventually comes to his senses and marries Agnes.

Selective climate alarmism of White House ignores imminent threats of EMP attack, debt collapse and Fukushima catastrophe
naturalnews.com / by Mike Adams / Friday, May 09, 2014
The White House alarmism over global warming / climate change / climate disruption would be a lot more believable if it werent so contrived. Of all the legitimate, imminent threats facing the continuity of the American way of life with its cheap money, cheap imports, cheap electricity, cheap fuel and cheap food, the Obama Administration selectively chooses to acknowledge none of them. The only one youre supposed to notice is climate disruption, a loony new reframe of reality that absurdly tries to convince you planet Earth never experienced droughts, floods, hurricanes and tornados before the industrial revolution.
The climate never changed, we are now being told, until we all started burning fossil fuels. This idea contradicts the entire known geological and climate history of our planet, of course, but that never got in the way of a political ramrod attempt.
On the far more urgent issue of an EMP attack which could cripple the U.S. power grid and kill 90% of all Americans (1), the White House is utterly silent. Never mind the fact that Russia and China could launch an EMP attack right now, and that North Koreas capability to do such a thing is only a few short years away. Never mind the fact that in a grid down scenario, every U.S. city would be immediately transformed into a death zone. The White House wants you to be terrified of carbon dioxide, a plant nutrient that actually accelerates reforestation and boosts crop yields globally.
When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America , you get a front row seat. - George Carlin

Now that we have a few acres, I need something to mow on a larger scale, move snow from the driveway, work up a future huge garden, post holes, etc. Working on a budget, so I'm primarily looking at older tractors, but a new Kubota would be the cat's meow. Here are today's options:
One- Ford 2N with a bush hog. Nice condition paint, except bad brakes, still 6Volt, runs like a top. $2,500 for both items.
Two- a 8N that has been completely overhauled, no implements with it. He has a 3-point blade that I'd like to team up into a deal with the tractor. $3,100
Three- 9N Paint is rough, looks like it never spent a night in a shed. Runs good, bad brakes (has brake bands he will throw in), converted 12Volt, 3-point spring tooth, some other misc. parts. He was going to rebuild, but just never got around to it. $1,500
> I can get a set of rear tire chains for these Fords for $175, unless I can talk the guy down.
Four- dang, just missed it, I was caller #2: IH 2424 (40 HP industrial) with blade, disc, tiller, two bottom plow, brush hog. $3,500.
Five- I can pick up a Farmall Cub & some implements fairly easily. Man, do I like those cute little tractors! But... no 3-point, PTO spins the wrong direction, only 9.6 HP drawbar, but they do make a front snow blade and a lot of implements that compliment these little guys.
Six- Ford 9N with a plow & disc. $2,500
All the Ford tractors are about the same distance, four different directions from me. Technically, a Ford 8N is the best of the Ford options, all things being equal. Both brakes are on the right side, four speeds not three, a teeny more HP,made from 48-52. The 2N's were made during WWII- 42-47. 9N's were made from 39-42 and the newer you go, the more options, HP, slightly better 'this and that', etc. All have 540 rpm PTO and Category I 3-point.

When I think of cabbage trees I am now loath to think of the tropical cordyline so popular in contemporary gardens. I have, in the past enthused about these interesting plants with their strong colours and glossy, almost varnished leaves. Maybe it's an age thing or maybe it's just seeing how important, ecologically speaking, the humble cabbage tree plays in our landscape.
Ti kouka is the Maori name for cabbage tree, and is eminently more palatable. In the UK it is known as the Torbay palm, which is suitably pompous. Although I know why it's called the cabbage tree in New Zealand, I still think it is a travesty to give something with so many beautiful attributes a name which affords it all the romance of a Dickensian nightmare. So for the purposes of this article I'll stick to the Maori, ti kouka.
The biggest complaint you get about ti kouka is the leaves falling to the ground. More than most trees this is a problem because you are unable to mow over them as the fibrous strap-like leaves wrap themselves around the mower blade shaft. Another complaint I've heard is that they don't compost, which is rubbish.
If you put cabbage tree leaves in a big bundle in the bottom of the compost bin and expect decomposition in six months then of course it won't. But nor will autumn leaves or even lawn clippings. If, however, you layer the leaves carefully, wetting them thoroughly and making sure they are in contact with some soil or sheep or cow poo or even existing compost, the extra biology in the organic matter will ensure the leaves decompose.
It will take 12 to 18 months, but it will happen.
What fascinates me most about ti kouka is the flower. Ti kouka is actually a member of the orchid family and a closer inspection of the flower head will give you a whole new appreciation of its aesthetic qualities.
The flowers appear on a branch, are small and quite waxy, with hints of lime and ruby in the bud. They produce enough nectar to create quite a stir with the bees. Then as they go to seed, they become a target for many birds.
One of the most pleasing attributes of the tree is that it is tough and reasonably hard to eradicate, thriving in marginal soils and through drought and flood. This versatility makes it an excellent candidate as a coloniser along with manuka and the shrub varieties of the pseudopanax family.
Colonisers are the really tough, low-maintenance trees that you get growing first to provide a nursery for seedlings of larger, slower growing and more vulnerable species. Start with ti kouka if you wish to introduce other native plants to your property, especially on a large scale. Ti kouka also provide a habitat for birds; they poo seed and introduce new plant species among the established trees.
From time to time our cabbage tree population is threatened by the spread of Sudden Decline Syndrome, which is particularly prevalent in low lying, rural environments. It has, on occasion, decimated more market-oriented species such as purple tower, albertii, green goddess and kasper, which are more closely related to the alpine varieties.
Like so much of our flora and fauna we only ever see the importance of these things once they're gone. I'm not sure I'd miss the cabbage tree if it were one of these unfortunates, but I'd hate to find out the hard way.

Florida Grand Opera Comes to Midtown with TANGO and MARÍA DE BUENOS AIRES Double Bill, 3/21-24
Florida Grand Opera (FGO) has announced a new three-year program entitled "Unexpected Operas in Unexpected Places," designed to bring less-known works to unique venues throughout South Florida in an effort to expose new audiences to opera, with the support of a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation as part of its Knights Arts Challenge. The first installment of this new initiative will bring operatic productions to the Midtown neighborhood for the first time with a tango double-bill featuring Robert Xavier Rodriguez's Tango and Ástor Piazzolla's María de Buenos Aires, held at the popular Midtown music venue The Stage on March 21-24, 2013.
"Sometimes it's about taking opera out of the opera house to revitalize the art form for new audiences, bringing them something they consider traditional in a completely unexpected way," said Susan Danis, FGO's General Director and CEO.
"Today's audiences demand to be engaged. The opera's new format is embracing that challenge by taking artists out of the formal performance hall and into people's everyday lives and, we hope, reminding them how important and fun the classics are," said Dennis Scholl, vice president for arts at Knight Foundation.
With Unexpected Operas in Unexpected Places, FGO has created an opportunity to tap into Miami's ever-growing community of young art lovers while also breaking down common stereotypes about the art form being boring, stuffy, or drawn-out. Proving that this production is anything but, the show uses the local bar scene and a standing-room format to put audience members in the middle of the action as the brief, yet sultry tales of lust, romance, and tango unravel around them.
"The double bill is not only dark and provocative, but the music calls for an unconventional setting that mimics the bars and nightclubs of Buenos Aires, where the story takes place and tango itself was born," said Maestro Ramon Tebar, FGO Music Director and the production's conductor. "No other city brings nightlife and culture together like Miami. It was a perfect fit!"
This daring production is brought to life onstage by the exciting young voices of FGO's Young Artist Studio, with guest artists, Maestro Tebar at the podium and under the scenic direction of José Maria Condemi.
A two-time winner of FGO's Henry C. Clark Award and recently appointed Artistic Director of the Palm Beach Symphony, Tebar has been said to "... achieve perfect pitch and harmony from all parts of the orchestra and, with involved and passionate action, direct the tempo with perfection to motivate the entire orchestra, making poetry ...," according to a review by the Dominican newspaper Hoy Digital [translated from Spanish]. Condemi, who has directed a multitude of operas in varied repertoire throughout the country and abroad, is described by the Wall Street Journal as "ingenious ... a young Argentine-born director who makes no mistakes."
A product of the highly-acclaimed, living American composer Robert Xavier Rodriguez, Tango is a one-act comic concert operetta composed for a chamber ensemble and a single tenor, sung by Matthew Newlin, an FGO Young Artist who Opera News describes as a "sweet-toned" voice. Designed to present three consecutive scenes without pause, the action follows the protagonist at the height of the tango craze in 1913 as he embodies different characters to convey the varied perceptions of this seductive and polarizing dance.
"The amazing thing about the opera is that every word of the libretto is true. You couldn't make up stuff like this because no one would believe it," says Rodriguez. "It's an over-the-top crazy piece ... [and] I understand that the Miami production will be the most elaborate to date, so I can't wait to hear it."
The score takes root in the cabaret ensemble with the use of a bandoneón, a characteristic instrument of the Argentinean tango style, and a small orchestra resembling a tango band. The music tips its hat to the tango tradition by quoting popular classics - such as Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1, Schubert's E-flat Major Piano Trio, and Brahms' Fourth Symphony - in a tango style. It also explores three contrasting variations of the tango dance style by quoting a sensual minuet from Mozart's Don Giovanni.
The work was commissioned by Voices of Change, a premiere American chamber music ensemble dedicated to performing small ensemble works by modern composers. It was premiered in 1986 and hailed as "a light-hearted piece by a very serious composer, as such, may well prove to be one of the treasures of our time," by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
This work will be sung in English, using the composer's own translation of the libretto.
The surreal plot of María de Buenos Aires is filled with elements of magical realism, a Latin American movement that thins the veil between fantasy and reality. This is the tale of ill-fated María, who was said to be born "on a day when God was drunk." Living in the poor suburbs of Buenos Aires, María is seduced by the sounds of tango, becoming a streetwalker, and falling victim to a tragic death. The audience then follows María's Shadow as it walks the city's Underground, which has become her hell.

Printer and time for delivery from order?
Oh, that looks sharp.
I printed them, got the blank labels from staples.
I printed my own as well, but the background takes a LOT of ink and soon the background wasn't the color I wanted. My background was gold/yellow so now I print on that color paper and save on ink, and get the right color every time. I don't think you can do that though since there isn't a white ink - sorry for thinking out loud lol
They look great - very eye catching!
Any problems with the ink smudging or tricks to keep it from smudging? My attempts with an HP inkjet printer weren't the greatest.
Steve, unfortunately you're going to get smudging with inkjet. We recently bought a laser to keep costs down with hubby's business, and I have since pretty much taken over the laser for honey labels, as they don't smudge. They have gotten affordable, and we haven't had to change the toner yet and we have had it six months.
I started out as an opportunistic beekeeper. Now the bees keep me...
Thanks, I'll have to look into a color laser printer for my business. I'll have to convince my business partner to let me borrow it for my honey labels. She's also my wife, so it will cost me big time!
Yep, I used a laser printer which also makes this particular label waterproof (not that it matters).

Boot Camp
I'm only a few weeks into my Officer Commissioning Course at RMA Sandhurst in Surrey, and I have to say that whilst I knew it would be tough, I'm going to have to say it again – it's really tough. There've been a couple of occasions now where I've doubted my strength to get through the training and I've been close on one occasion to packing it in altogether.
Fortunately for my career, there's really very little time for self-pity or doubt at Sandhurst, and what little I've exhibited to my superiors has quickly been disbanded by their insatiable appetite for success. Clearly for them, making sure that we all pass-out at the Sovereign's Parade at the end of term as fully commissioned British Army Officers is important to their success, never mind our own.
It's also obvious that the Army was always going to be physically demanding, and so far, I've had to push myself harder than I've ever done before. Knowing that this was going to be the case, I wanted to make sure that I gave myself the best start and so with a little help from the Bank of Mum and Dad, I set out to buy myself equipment that I knew would be really useful before I arrived – something I'd be glad to have bought when things got really hard. Footwear is really important in the Army and after reading many reviews about Magnum Boots and hearing about them from other Army colleagues, I decided to use my money towards a pair.
It seem like a small thing to many people, but when you're on your feet all day, and sometimes all night, dry, comfortable and sturdy footwear boosts your confidence. Sometimes I've seriously thought that I've only managed to get through some of the training because of my Magnums. I'm beginning to learn fast however that becoming a British Army officer will be as much down to me as it is my boots - but they're definitely helping me along the way.

When the Stadium opened in 2010 I had PSL's for both the Jets and the Giants, a total of 8. I'm down to 4 now, a more reasonable number. I always puckered up anytime I sold ticket to people other than very close friends. If someone did sometime stupid and gets thrown out you can lose your PSL if it was really bad. By using the NFL Ticket Exchange, which is the preferred method according to the NFL, you are held harmless if the person who buys your ticket screws up. If you sell on Stubhub and not the NFL Ticket exchange you are still held to your regular responsibility. If the guy who buys it on Stubhub screws up it comes back to you.
When you really look at this concept, you have to ask yourself, how ridiculous is it???
If a fan buys your ticket on Stubhub, and acts like an a**h*l*, you're responsible for his behavior..
But if that same a**h*l* fan buys your ticket on TicketExchange, and acts like an a**h*l* in the same exact way. Everything is ok, you're safe..
Why?? What's the difference?????????
The fan still acted like an a**h*l* in both situations!!!

Starting Position: Sit on the floor or mat with your legs folded in front of you in a diamond shape with the soles of your feet together. Sit as upright and tall as possible, keeping your head aligned with your spine. Place your hands on the top of your feet.
Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine. Exhale and gently bend forward from your hips. Do not round the back. Place your elbows against the inside of your thighs and carefully push the thighs downward. Keep the back flat and your head aligned with your spine. This should create a stretch through your inner thighs.
Continue to press downward to the point of tension in the stretch, but do not bounce or push to a point of pain. Hold this position for 15 - 30 seconds, then relax by returning to starting position. Repeat 2-4 times. You may choose to grasp your ankles to hold this position.
Exercise Variation: This stretch can become more dynamic by performing slow, controlled movements to complete 1 set of 5 - 10 repetitions, holding the stretched position for 1 - 2 seconds.
To maximize the benefits of a stretch and reduce the potential for injury, it is important to stretch only to the point of tension, avoid bouncing, and control movement at other segments of the body.

Réellement un lieu agréable, simple, sans superflu avec l'indispensable. Convenablement propre. Le quartier formidable, tranquille et il y a de tout. Bien desservi en transports pour se rendre à n'importe quel endroit de Madrid , également de rapide accès à l'aéroport. L'accueil des propriétaires très sympa. Rapport qualité -prix très honnête et sans tromperie. J'essaierai d'y réserver la prochaine fois que je passerai à Madrid.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The room was confy. I stayed in Madrid for 11 days.
The kitchen wasnt the best but totaly enough for normal requirements.
(2 out of 4 heating plates from the cooker didnt work)
One big problem is that you cant look your own apartement door!!
The host´s were very nice to us! Fanny and julian are always here for you.
(You can call them any time of the day!)
The location is super good! Directly at he Metro Station Diego de Leon!
If i could lock my own room with a key i would always come back at any time!
I spent a week in this apartment and I have to say that it was great value for money. Fanny and Julian are very nice people and are always available to give advice to me. I didn't have any significant problems with this flat it was quite central and despite its being on the 4th floor there was a lift. In addition the area wasn't really that noisy during the night. Had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking for reasonably priced accommodation.

My husband and I recently added interior feeders to our two hives in hopes of eliminate robbing. We had been using exterior feeders and noticed some very aggressive black bees not letting our bees even close to the syrup. (as well as yellow jackets)
We opted to use the jar feeders (easy fast build, thank you AKDan). We had planned on adding multiple jars to the one hive so used a large square of screen. We decided the solid wood base would hinder ventilation so left one side off. We have noticed the bees congregating under the screen. I'm assuming they are cooling off (or trying to go up?), however I've never seen screen used in place of canvas. Are there any concerns we should have?
Also, how long before they catch on and start using the new feeders. We are concerned because there is limited access over the bars and the syrup hasn't gone down in over 12 hours.
Edited to add: We noticed in the picture that the bees are starting to pull the threads on the canvas. This could be a disastrous. We will try to flip the canvas and screen over so they can't get to the raw edge. They are sewn together.

Very very pretty.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Very very pretty.
Four things you can't recover: The stone.....after the throw. The word......after its said. The occasion.....after its missed. The time......after its gone
Very pretty and I love all the feathering. You go for it, you are doing a great job.
You have those feathers conquered, I'd say. I love your table runner.
Nami to 6
I have yet to try feathers, but hats off to you... yours look fabulous. Love the runner pattern and fabric choice. I will have to google the pattern as I love to make table runners and it is a great way to practice FMQ'ing. Thank you for sharing.
Your feathers look graceful and great!
What a great idea to put the feathers in a runner. That would be great practice for a beginning FMQ'r like me!
Proud mom/step-mom to 8 children. We promote awareness of Autism and Huntington's Disease. Please pm me if interested in sending Campbell's Soup Labels or box tops which we collect for our kids' schools.
Love your runner & feathers , good job.
Beautiful. Your feathers are great. I'm trying to figure them out, but it takes patience.
The feathers look wonderful!!
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
Your time off wasn't wasted. Those are gorgeous feathers!

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8Posted in Project Vehicles on April 1, 2005 Comment (0)
Zero to 60 miles per hour in less than 5 seconds. 415 horsepower under the hood. 125 feet needed to brake from 60 mph to a dead stop. Sounds like the figures you may expect to see if the Camaro ever gets a replacement, but these numbers belong to the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Designed to dust the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5 4.6is, this Hemi-powered Jeep will also have no problem showing taillights to its corporate cousin, the Mercedes ML55 AMG.
The Dodge Street Racing Technology (SRT) engineers start with a Hemi V8 and bore it out, raising the displacement from 5.7 to 6.1 liters. Engine breathing is improved with larger intake components and headers feeding a 2.75-inch exhaust system with 4-inch tips in back. Hollow intake valve stems, sodium filled exhaust valve stems, a performance camshaft, a reinforced engine block, high-strength connecting rods, a forged steel crankshaft and a modified oil pan help to complete the picture. This setup allows the compression ratio to be increased from 9.6:1 to 10.3:1, and redline has been bumped up from 5-grand to 6,000 rpm. That's good for 415 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque.
Power from the 6.1 liter Hemi is sent through a custom torque converter to a strengthened A580 5-speed automatic transmission. To save 60 pounds, SRT engineers combined a lightweight transfer case with the rear half of a heavy duty case that houses the electronic all-wheel-drive system components. Five to 10 per cent of torque is always sent to the front wheels, and more is available when traction is lost in the back. Power gets to the rear wheels through a driveshaft from the European Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel model attached to Dana 44 rear differential packed with a larger ring gear inside a bigger housing.
The SRT8 will sit an inch lower to the ground than the Grand Cherokee and has numerous improvements to the chassis. Along with new front knuckles, the suspension is enhanced with unique sway bars, custom spring rates and suspension bushings.
Four-piston Brembo brake calipers clamp down on 14.2-inch vented discs in front and 13.8-inch vented rear disc brakes. 20-inch polished aluminum wheels can be found at all corners wearing run-flat Goodyear all-season tires with 255/45/20 rubber in the front and 285/40/20 in the back.
11PhotosView Slideshow
While there has been no mention of low-range gears being made available, Dodge says a hitch package will be available that will allow towing of up to 3,500 pounds.
The 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 will be available in Bright Silver, Brilliant Black and Inferno Red paint schemes, and with only one interior available. The Medium Slate setup includes seats with suede inserts designed to hold occupants during aggressive maneuvers and some carbon fiber and aluminum parts along with SRT8 labels.

On a suburban street in Mairangi Bay, around 30 teenagers are passing, spiking and "chicken winging" their way around six beach volleyball courts set next to green fields and opposite residential homes.
Beach volleyball became a medal sport at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and has always attracted attention, as much for the attire of the players as for the exciting on-court action.
The slang of the sport is almost as entertaining as the games: a "bambi", for instance, is someone who isn't playing aggressively, a "husband and wife" describes a serve dropping between two players because neither can decide who will pass it, and a "volley dolly" is a beach volleyball groupie.
On the day I visit the Mairangi Bay club, the teens are practising for an away-tournament at Mount Maunganui. Munroe Martin, 15, tells me she started playing indoor volleyball and then graduated to beach volleyball.
"Beach volleyball is harder because there are not as many people - from six to just two on each side of the net - and you have to contend with wind carrying your ball where you don't want it to go," she says, while hi-fiving a friend arriving to the courts.
Max Longdill, 18, who has played beach volleyball for three years, says: "I like that you get to play in the sun, with your friends."
He recommends playing as much indoor volleyball as possible and suggests drinking lots of water to prevent dehydration. I'm told that beach volleyball is usually played barefoot, unless the sand is very hot, and then socks are worn. There's no set uniform as long as partners wear the same colour on the bottom.
In the clubroom, players are being told about the upcoming tournament. They listen quietly to important logistical information. Then the topic of uniform is brought up.
"Can one partner be wearing bikini bottoms and another be wearing Spanx?" asks one girl, as other questions about what to wear are fired at head coach Richard Casutt.
"Beach volleyball is laid-back compared to other sports and you might play three games in the one day so if you want to change what you wear, that's fine, as long as the bottoms are the same colour," explains Casutt.
"It's okay to mix Spanx and bikini bottoms in a team, but just remember to get out of the sun when you're not playing."
Talk then turns to the logistics of food and it's revealed that a group of mums will be accompanying the team and making sure all the kids are well-fed and looked after.
Sherren Findley, regional development officer at North Harbour Volleyball Association, tells me the members of the club have swipe cards so they can come down anytime to practise.
"It's a fun place for them to hang out. They can put some music on and play all day in the sun with their friends," says Findley.
Above the clubroom is a sign "Beach Caf and Bar" and the six courts are spread out on the sand. It provides a beach atmosphere, with the added shade and facilities of the clubroom.
As I leave them "bringing the heat" and "sizzling the pits", it's obvious the club is not only a place to learn the sport of beach volleyball, and its lingo, but also the perfect spot for teens to make new friends.
Watch this weekend
• North Harbour Open, Mairangi Bay Beach Centre, 65 Maxwelton Drive, Saturday and Sunday 8am to 8pm

Remote Code Execution
I was hoping the fine folks here might be able to answer a question about understanding how remote code exploits work. Assuming that the machine is running windows XP/Vista/7 on a x86 platform with all service packs, patches and updates with no TCP/IP services and no server applications running then how can it be possible to take advantage of such a box remotely ? Then is it possible that a zero day exploit would be needed in order to access this typical box ?
Please note that I have no interest nor intentions in hacking into anyone box but would like to understand the logic behind how remote code exploits work...
Thanks in advance

Summer may still be sizzling but we must not forget that Autumn is right around the corner. While most of us probably start sweating just thinking about cashmere and layering, there are a lot of great ways to slowly introduce the upcoming trends into your late summer wardrobe!
Acne, A/W 2011
Color - Rich hues, popping neons and playful color blocking still reign supreme in the upcoming seasons. While a bright courderoy pant may be perfect for a day of watching the leaves change color you probably want to avoid passing out from heat exhaustion. So instead, try throwing on a pair of colorful shorts and pairing it with a bold piece of colorful jewelry. Corals, oranges, and turquoises will all translate well from this season into the next.
Chloe, A/W 2011
Animal Prints - They're baaaaack. Or did they ever leave? What was once considered too Fran Fine for any sophisticated woman to wear, Animal Prints have made a triumphant and elegant return to the scene. And in a very daring move, many are laying print upon print. If you're going to give this one a go, perhaps try to keep your prints in the same color family. Otherwise you run the risk of looking too Tarzan for your own good.
Proenza Schouler A/W 2011
Make a Statement! - Big, chunky, attention grabbing jewelry is the way to go in the next few months. But beware ladies, jewels upon jewels might have you bordering on Zsa Zsa territory, and unless you're going for the Most Fabulous at Green Acres title, I suggest rocking one piece at a time. These gems deserve a bit of the spotlight, so try pairing them with a simple t-shirt, or with a lightweight blazer.

Crop outlooks are rosy, feed prices are down, and milk futures are up.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
Can you hear a quiet question floating in the spring breezes: "Is it time to lock in feed?"
With grain markets down, milk futures up, and crop outlooks rosy - not to mention bad memories that are still fresh in dairy producers' minds about what happened not long after this time a year ago - it's certainly something to think about.
In many respects, spring 2013 is a case of déjà vu all over again. Remember?
A year ago, a mild winter meant corn, soybean and wheat plantings were going like gangbusters. USDA was forecasting the largest corn crop in history, which gave dairy producers high hopes for lower feed prices across the board. Poor milk prices (under $16) were the only ant spoiling the picnic.
Then came the near-nationwide drought that ruined everything.
So here we are in mid-April again. Winter continues to linger in some areas, bringing welcome rain to much of the Corn Belt. The Class III milk price is already $1.21 higher than a year ago, and June through December futures average $19.13, thanks to a terrible drought in New Zealand. On paper right now, Class III projects to a yearlong average of $18.55.
That's huge; the all-time record is $18.37 set two years ago.
Meanwhile, feed prices at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) are pretty much back to their low-ish rosy forecast levels in spring 2012. Corn is in the $6.30s (it peaked last year at $8.40), soybeans are barely above $14 (they almost hit $18 last year), and wheat is barely above $7 (it hit $9.42 last year).
Call us timid and conservative, but the combination of 20 percent cheaper feed and almost 20 percent higher milk prices looks way too tempting to pass up.

Fond memories of Ren & Stimpy, AHHH! Real Monsters, and Doug?
[quote user="Redeyejedi"]Donte Paige Moss is declaring for the NFL Draft even though he lost his starting job and is having ACL surgery next week.Good luck with that Donte.
Here is Donte on Twitter during Bowl week
"Worst xmas eva cant wait till.this horrible bowl in this horrible city wit sum of da mos horrible coaches r ova"
"Sum.of.yall mofos jus haten cuz yall.gotta pay.fo.skool"
and then theres this little gem..
"#unc. Fans r.the.worse.we.win its all.good. Have a bad game we suck thats.a.reason #imout #nosupport"
He might not even get drafted.He wants to draft a guy that didnt produce at a high level,Calls out his coaches,his school, and his fan base.On top of all that he is having ACL surgery.Serious immaturity issues ,injury concerns and mediocre production.[/quote] wow!!!lol Is this for real? What a idiot! He should of wrote "worst production outta dude who was supposed to be good eva" lol
[quote user="Redeyejedi"][quote user="nycsportzfan"]As i've said most of this yr and again i feel is true Today Ryan Tannehill not overly impressive against a NW D that is dreadful He let them back in the game and his play has dropped considerbly as the games gone on and with a ridiculous heap of weapons to boot Hes a guy i woulden't touch untill RD3 at the earliest I would rather have Nick Foles I wonder how Foles would be if he were on a good team?[/quote]One thing about A&M though for all there weapons they drop a ton of balls. They had a ton of drops against Northwestern they dropped like 10 against Kansas State.Fuller gets zero separation.the best players are the RB's[/quote] Your right about the drops Still though u gotta admit tannehills decison making and accuracy has been ridiculously inconsistent this yr As far as fuller hes just not hungry all the time He reminds me of Roy Williams WR Bears A dude with mad talent that will flash at times probably have one or 2 solid seasons and then u just wonder where it went by yr 3or4??lol Fuller should be good enough to get talked about as a 1st rounder with his ability and frame
[quote user="Redeyejedi"][quote user="nycsportzfan"]Early mock draft because i'm still high on the fact were in the postseason and i just want to do anything giants related right now!!lol I will still do a weekly mock untill there outta the playoffs or after the Super bowl if they make it that far and then i'm done with mocks for awhile Anyhow i got us picking 25th this week
1 Dwayne Allen TE Clemson- We won't have a chance at him this late in RD 2 and hes the best at his positon and i see him as a Antonio gates type player in this league and we could use a TE to complete the Offense and we don't have but Ballard as far as ALL AROUND TE's on the roster Its alittle bit Spoling yourself type pick as our Pass Catchers are so awesome but adding Allen Isn't a bad idea as late in RD 1 as were picking as it puts us in the NO NE and GB category of all around top of the league Deepest Pass Catching Arsenal I wish mercilus was gonna be here and last wk's mock 1st rder for us that i had was Devon Still whos also a nice pick but Allen is a guy i think will pay huge divedens and totally complete us as a offense
2 Casey Hayward CB Vanderbilt- This guys as good as anyone not named Claiborne outta the 2012 CB prospects in my opinion! We could use one more stout CB in our rotation especially with Aaron Ross's pending FA'cy and Webster anotehr yr older and TT being a FA and coming off a Full Season lost due to injury Hayward is a Ballhawk with speed who mixes it up in the run game Another words hes the complete package
3 Audie Cole LB Nc State- Obviously goff will be coming off a yr lost due to injury and Greg Jones has to prove hes more then Depth still and Cole had a really nice season and is a fantastic mlb! Cole is solid value and at a positon we could use one more quality player to compete and at least for Depth purposes Cole looked fabulous in his teams bowl game the other day
4 Terrance Ganaway RB Baylor- I like Ganaway alot and he would seemingly fill the role i'm assumin is gonna be vacated after the season when Jacobs leaves
5 Jaye Howard DT Florida- Could be a solid rotational DT in the pros Up and down season but clearly the potentail for a solid NFL player is there Solid to Real Solid Value late 5th round
6 Blake Gideon FS Texas- Gideons got non stop motor and is pretty solid all around S who isn't the most athletic freak at the positon but gets it done by being a bright hard working player who brings it every day Gideon could end up being a beast ST's player and possibly more with a bit of luck
7 moe Petrus C UCONN- A solid 7 rd pick at a positon could use some depth I seen a bit of UCONN and Petrus has looked good most of those times
Obviously there is no oline till rd 7 but we do have FA'cy as well where we could get someone
[/quote]I think this is my favorite one you have done. I love Allen.Casey Heyward is one of the most underrated players in the nation.Audie Cole is a guy that fits the SOLB/MLB role that im looking for.[/quote] ya casey hayward is fantastic! THanks for the props
THis would be a great yr for the Giants to try and trade for a 2nd 1st rounder or trade down in RD 1 if possible and get 2 2nd rounders It'd be great if they could get a interior lineman like Konz or Decastro and still get a Dwayne Allen or Whitney mercilus or if it were a ex 2nd a guy like Kevin Zeitler and Casey Hayward(example) We usually don't do trades but Osi having a big game yesterday and if he can have a big playoffs he might of ended the season on a high enough note we can get a team to bite on a 2nd rounder even if we have to offer a 4th rounder or something
markelle martin is a beast by the way!
I think Va Tech is gonna beat the Wolverines tommorow I see David Wilson going for 150yrd and at least a TD and they'll get enough outta Logan Thomas through the air and on the ground to give them the Win Also i like Tech's D better And the fact Tech is probably fuming off there pathetic effort in ACC title game
Andrew Luck is sure looking like the Number 1 player in the country today! What a sensational game! Also i like markelle martin Would not mind getting him in RD 2 at all! And David Decastro is one of the best interior lineman i've seen in awhile and that inludes the pouncey brothers This kid is flat out sensational!
[quote user="nycsportzfan"]*I think Va Tech is gonna beat the Wolverines tommorow*** I see David Wilson going for 150yrd and at least a TD* and** they'll get enough outta Logan Thomas through the air and on the ground to give them the Win** Also i like Tech's D better** And the fact Tech is probably fuming off there pathetic effort in ACC title game**
[/quote]U see Wilson is returning to school
Andrew Luck having a masterful game tonight.Same with Justin Blackmon.All day today the big time players showed up.
U know Stepfan taylor will be interesting to watch next year he has always been super productive but he gets dismissed because of Luck and the line.The guy gets a 100 yards every game

Basically, I would like to make a new variable, called interlock, that is equal to 1 if any of the variables in the list are equal to any other variable in the list (not including itself, of course). For example, if PID5==705 and PID14==705 I would like likeinterlock==1Likewise, if none of the the variables in PID* take on the value of any of the other variables in PID*, I would like interlock==0 I tried this: egen interlock = group(pid1_a pid1_b pid2_a pid2_b pid3_a pid3_b pid4_a pid4_b pid5_a pid5_b pid6_a pid6_b pid7_a pid7_b pid8_a pid8_b pid9_a pid9_b pid10_a pid10_b pid11_a pid11_b pid12_a pid12_b pid13_a pid13_b pid14_apid14_b pid15_a), but it returned all missing values when I know that some share a common value in two of the PID* fields. Lastly, not that it should matter, but the above is a simplifying example. In my actual dataset I have about 130 PID*variables. I justmention this in case I am hitting some kind of memory limitation (I am not receiving any errors when I run the command, though, it just doesn't work).* * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Open Source/Paid tools for DDoS attack
We are a startup and working on a new Ecommerce site.
I would like to have some kind of DDos attack simulation testing for my site.
I would also like to test my site for DDoS attacks from certain specific geographies.
What tools I can use? This is very important as some time before we launched the alpha version and within couple of says we had to bring it down because of the DDoS attack.
This time, I want to be more sure of the security of our site.

There's an ad in For Sale offering to ship queen cells. Anyone here tried shipping QC's?
There's an ad in For Sale offering to ship queen cells. Anyone here tried shipping QC's?
There are a few that mail queen cells but, I think there is a minimum order. Miksa in Groveland, Fl. mails cells.
I think most queen breeders UPS ripe cells,, since their delivery is VERY time sensitive
That's funny. Left messages with Miksa over 5 times in 2 years and have had not one returned call from all the message or emails left. . On the other hand got his son on the phone the first time and although I did't purchase anything the courteousness displayed over the phone will make me get back to him again.
As per the subject of shipping cells I'm sure its buyer beware. If we were to ship any I would do so on day 10 or 11. Its a tough call. Anything before them will chill them certainly. Day ten is to early IMO and day 11 might be to late in some cases.
Ups overnight is the only way to go in any case....
They can be damaged easily. I would get queens that have emerged over cells.
Have had hundreds shipped from Miksa's. UPS over night put in hives that morning avg 75% take. Last July we hit 83% however we have had 40% take once over have had great results
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Haven't tried it again as its very time consuming although I do have to admit 11 out of 11 is pretty tempting if its repeatable.
they are pretty durable and will ship the last day or two as long as you can keep them warm (not hot or cold)

Excerpt: "Position: Wide receiver.
Depth chart:Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz (restricted free agent tender), Rueben Randle,Louis Murphy, Jerrel Jernigan, Brandon Collins, Kris Adams, Kevin Hardy.
The departed:Domenik Hixon (Carolina), Ramses Barden (free agent).
Scouting report: Nicks was severely limited by injuries last season, and it is imperative that the Giants get their lead receiver back to full strength. Nicks big-play ability was missing last season and Eli Manning and the offense suffered without it. Cruz will benefit even more from a healthy Nicks with more room to operate. Well have to see how Cruzs contract situation impacts the receiver if it does at all this season.
The Giants need a third receiver to emerge, and Randle showed in the season finale that he can be that guy. The Giants will need the second-year receiver to continue to improve and work hard toward being what Mario Manningham was for the Giants. Jerry Reese is excited about the prospects of what Murphy might add to the offense as a speedy deep threat. Jernigan is entering his third season and has a chance to see snaps as a fourth receiver. He could also factor in as the teams kickoff and punt returner.
The last time: The Giants selected Randle in the second round in 2012. " Read more...

It is often said that making good sales and income from 'travel' stock is very difficult. YES, IT IS !! - or at least it can be if you don't make your images stand out from the crowd.
On Dreamstime, if you do a search using just the keyword 'Travel', you will get well over 2.6 million images come up that have the word 'travel' in their keywords.
Now I know that few buyers of travel images will be likely to search using just the keyword 'Travel'. They are going to narrow the search by putting in keywords for the location, specific building or some other key feature of the location they are interested in.
Even so, say you search for a lesser known destination such as: travel - Myanmar - Yangon. You will still...
How to correct Converging Verticals.
I'm sure many of you already know about the following technique, but judging by the number of uncorrected images in the Dreamstime files, I think it may be worth sharing this technique here.
If you angle your lens up or down when photographing something like a tall building you will get 'Converging Verticals'. In the example below the minarets of the Taj Mahal appear to lean inwards.
I know that in some cases this can be used for dramatic effect, but often it just looks wrong and the image would look far better with the verticals corrected.

This is a tutorial on how to sharpen a slightly out-of-focus image WITHOUT increasing noise.
If you have an image that's just slightly out-of-focus, and you try to sharpen it by just using the standard 'sharpen' filter in Photoshop, then the result is often not very good as it will also increase any 'noise' that may be present in the image. This is especially true of images that are high contrast and have been shot in low light levels with a high ISO setting.
One way round this problem is to use the following 'sharpening' method.......
1) Open your image in Photoshop
2) Make a duplicate of the 'background layer'

This morning I photographed the Solar Eclipse. Weather conditions were far from perfect, however I managed to get a couple of reasonable shots through small gaps in the clouds.
Unfortunately, I did not get any shots at the time of maximum occlusion, the thick cloud cover was total during full occlusion. The maximum occlusion would have given about 95% coverage of the solar disc from where I live, in the north of the United Kingdom.
Anyway, here are my images...........not brilliant, but not too bad considering the very poor weather conditions.

I thought I would try bringing together some elements of my existing images to form one new image that works to a theme. All the component images are of the same topic. This type of image is very useful to designers, who often have a need for images to use as page headers, especially when designing websites.
Here is a good example of what I'm talking about. This first one has a 'financial' theme
It's important not to reduce the sales of each of the component images, so I try to only use a thin slice out of each of the original images.

PHOTOGRAPHY OF FLAGS National and regional flags are subjects that are often photographed and have many uses for designers and stock photo buyers.
The trouble with trying to photograph flags as you come across them on your travel's is that you have little or no control. You can't control wind direction, lack of wind, direction of the sun, shadows on the face of the flag, the background, or the weather etc. It may also be very difficult to see complex patterns, insignia or symbols on a flag that is moving very quickly in the wind.
One way round these problems is to produce a 3D rendered image of your flag. However, images made in this way do not look 'real'. They may be OK for some uses, but not for others.

Pettit Lake, Idaho--A beautiful lake in the Sawtooth Mountains
Scenic Pettit Lake lies at the edge of Sawtooth Wilderness Area in Idaho. Parks Peak (left) and Imogene Peak (right) in background. Mountain cabins surround this lake, but it is still oligotrophic with Secchi depth transparencies up to 18 m. The granitic Sawtooth Mountains and a relatively uncontaminated airshed yield few nutrients to the lake. Biogenic meromixis has created a layer 10-m thick(131-160 ft) at the bottom of this 50-m lake that does not mix when the lake undergoes seasonal circulation in the spring and fall.

Secrets to bread making?
Hey everyone,
Its my first post, and I'm having to write this because its the first item that I've experienced from Jamies recipes that doesn't seem to work for me - making bread.
I try and ensure that everything is at room temperature, measure the ingredients meticulously, attempt to make the same everytime, but something still isn't right.
Sometimes, I make loaves which are enormous. Other times dont rise at all. Other times, taste really sweet, and others have a 'greasy' texture.
I just dont know what im doing wrong. Any ideas?

Re: Secrets to bread making?
What water are you using? Tapwater ussually has a good deal of chlorine, which kills yeast, so better to go with bottled water. Also, how are you baking? The basic rule is to get your oven to 250, put the bread in, and dial it down to 220. after about 30-40 minutes, depending on size, get it out of the oven, cover with cloth and let it sit for about 30 minutes, otherwise you'll have a very strong crust and sort of rubbery insides. Also, do you use a sponge starter?

Re: Secrets to bread making?
Even if you are measuring meticulously, your ingredients work differently. The results will vary depending on the moisture of your flour (you will need more or less water). But most of all yeasts (and if using sourdough the yeasts and bacteria) are living organisms. They react to temperature, draughts, humidity...
When you make the dough make sure that you knead it thoroughly. Then make sure that the dough looks and feels right (add more water or flour if necessary).
Allow enough time to prove, protecting the dough from drying out and from catching (cold) draughts. Covering the bowl helps.
About the flavor: I am not sure where you got the oily flavor from, but if the bread is too sweet add less sugar / honey.

Re: Secrets to bread making?
There is a certain art to making good bread so don't worry, pretty much everyone makes bricks to begin with!
I have found that sifting the dry ingredients 3 times helps a lot. I guess it gets lots of air into the mixture for the yeast to work on.
Also make sure you knead it enough. This works air into the dough. Not enough kneading makes bricks.
Salt impairs yeast growth too.
#6 Wed 28 Apr 10 9:09pm
Re: Secrets to bread making?
I hereby admit to never sifting flour except when making very delicate cakes....
But it is true that it is normal to have a few hiccups. I find that bread making is a lot about feeling that the dough is right. Kneading is the essence of course.
Sugar aids yeast growth, but you can bake with less or no sugar if your bread comes out too sweet.
Salt, fats (oil, butter....), and some flavor ingredients (onions,....) inhibit yeast growth. Many recipes ask you to add flavor ingredients after the first rising. Just knead in the flavor ingredients then and allow to double in size again.
Although warmth helps the yeasts to grow, too much heat will kill them. So don't make your water too warm (you can use cold water/ingredients - the dough will just need more time to rise).
When you have a perfect dough and then set it down to rise, it will react differently in different climates (as I said before). Here are some ideas: Put your bowl with the dough in a big plastic bag and close it: it will be a bit like a green house. I sometimes preheat my oven to the lowest setting (50�), then turn it off and put the bowl with the dough in it to rise. Placing it near the heating might also be helpful. But either way be careful not to overheat.
My friend uses a tupper bowl that shuts tight and then keeps it between her bed blankets (during the day). I have even used my dishwasher after I had just emptied it out. It was still warm (no longer hot though), somewhat humid, and it shut out all the draught. But this may be a bit too crazy to be valid advice.
If the dough rises, but not as much as you hoped for....
.... the dough might be too tough (add more water next time).
.... you may want to leave the dough for longer until the increase in size is big enough.
.... it might be a question of the flour you use. Whole flours rise less then white flours. Allow for more time, mix flours, or use sourdough. Rye will not usually work with just yeast (unless mixed with other flours, or sourdough).
Bread baking is easy really, but it also takes some experience. Go on trying and you will succeed.
Happy baking!

Re: Secrets to bread making?
I gave a friend a piece of sourdough and she has made her first loaf with satisfaction ...... and got compliments by her family ............ but then she managed to make only what you call bricks ........ she asks me what's wrong with it, I really do not know, now that I read this I realize she uses tapwater (TSR thanks for saying about chlorine) maybe this inhibits the rising.............. I told her to give up, but the next time I see her I think we can discuss about trying again, maybe with bottle water or my fountain water
thanks all for this thread
#8 Wed 28 Apr 10 10:48pm
Re: Secrets to bread making?
I use tap water too. But the quality of tap water can vary greatly. You need drinking water quality. Bottled water might be a good alternative.
The thing with sourdough is that it is a living thing. Sometimes the balance between yeasts and bacteria gets thrown. I have lost a few starters when the weather changed or the likes. All of a sudden there was mold or a pungent smell...
Don't be discouraged!
I just started baking bread again after a year of sourdough abstinence. The first two were a bit compact (nearly brick), until I had the right feeling for the dough again. The third loaf was perfect.

I told her just to leave for a while and spend her time in the veg garden instead of getting crossed with brik-bread, then when she thinks it's time to try again it will be a different story

ottimo appartamento confortevole centrale munito di tutto.disponibili e cortesi i proprietari.lo consiglio vivamente
This apartment is very well located, only 10 minutes walk from the Vatican. When we arrived at the airport Fuimicino, he had to take the train to get to the Termini station and then take the metro and get off at Ottaviano (30 minutes), in short, the ride is not complicated. The apartment itself is very clean, comfortable and quiet. Isabella is accomodating, and his uncle is available. In conclusion, I recommend this apartment.
Cet appartement est très bien situé , seulement à 10 minutes à pied du vatican . Lorsque nous sommes arrivés à l'aéroport Fuimicino, il a fallu prendre le train pour se rendre à la gare termini et ensuite le prendre metro A et descendre à Ottaviano ( 30 minutes de trajet), bref, le trajet n'est pas compliqué . L'appartement en lui même est très propre, confortable et calme . Isabella est arrangeante , et son oncle est disponible . En conclusion, je recommande cet appartement .
the apartment is located in a quiet yet close to the metro station area near the Vatican and Simply allowing market to shop 2 minutes walk.
Really good place and Isabella is very nice, like it a clean and functional accommodation. Thank you still Isabella.
PS / internet would be little more but otherwise Top
l'appartement est bien situé dans un quartier calme mais pourtant proche de la station de métro, proche du Vatican et de Simply market ce qui permet de faire des courses a 2 minutes a pied.
Vraiment bien situer et Isabella est très agréable, elle tiens un logement propre et très fonctionnelle. Merci encore a Isabella.
PS/ le petit plus serait internet mais sinon au Top
We stayed there in october 2012. We are two adults and our teenage son. We were very pleased with the hospitality and friendlyness of Isabella and her family. Apartment was fine for our needs, everything was nice and clean. We loved the balcony where we could sit and enjoy Rome, and we could walk to the Vatican.Highly recommended!
Nice, spacious clean apartment with good beds. Rust was a bit disappointing: lots of traffic noise!
Bathroom less (loose toilet seat, impractical short shower curtain and bath did not go well; self cleansing), transmitted in writing to Isabella. If these things are corrected, it gets us a star more!
Prettig, ruim schoon appartement met goede bedden. Rust viel wat tegen: veel verkeersgeluiden!
Badkamer wat minder (losse wc-bril, onpraktisch kort douchegordijn en bad liep niet goed af; zelf schoongemaakt); schriftelijk doorgegeven aan Isabella. Als deze dingen verholpen zijn, krijgt het van ons een ster meer!
really nice and clean appartment, 10 minutes to reach the metro and San Pietro, we really enjoyed our trip. Isabella and her uncle were really uncomplicated, we checked in earlier and left whenever we wanted :)
A very pleasant stay in a quiet, comfortable and very well located apartment. Reception and contacts were friendly, Isabella and her uncle are very helpful, thank you to them!
Un très bon séjour dans un appartement calme, confortable et très bien situé. L'accueil et les contacts furent aimables, Isabella et son oncle sont très serviables, merci à eux !
We enjoyed our stay at the appartment. It was very clean and is much bigger than shown on the pics, so we were happy. Metro station very closeby, public transport is so cheap, even to go to the airport was cheap (except for taxi). Quiet neighbourhood, so you can have a good night rest. It is also a safe neighbourhood when you walk late at night. No negative points! Thank you Isabella, Christina and the guy.
Fine apartment, centrally located in Rome. Close to the Vatican and only three stops from the city center. We were very satisfied!

While my thoughts on how we as Americans should deal with disasters may differ from others thoughts, I present them here:
1. Our Government was instituted to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and instill the blessings of liberty to ourselves and out posterity.....Job 1 is to take care of our own. I get angry when I see little kids crying in America because they are terrified, or starving. In fact, I become near-violent.
2. I believe that our Navy should maintain more than two "Ships of Mercy". It took more than three weeks before the USNS Comfort arrived to support the disaster following Katrina: Comfort deployed on September 2, 2005, after only a two-day preparation, to assist in Gulf Coast recovery efforts after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Starting in Pascagoula, Mississippi and then sailing to New Orleans, Comfort personnel saw 1,956 patients total. USNS Comfort returned on October 13, 2005 after its 7 week deployment. Katrina hit on August the 29th.
3. I believe that our Army and Air Force should maintain the ability to airlift, convoy or otherwise transport any amount of food, water, and relief supplies to any point on the map of the United States; for however long that it may be needed.
4. I believe that the States should be the first responders, but that the Feds should be ready to reinforce the states as needed.
5. The whole Katrina bullshit incident. The State and local Gov. failing as it did, and the Feds not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings should have been treated as a high crime, and the perpetrators should have been tried in a Court of Law. Fucking reporters were able to get in. They fed and watered themselves. What stopped the State of Louisiana from staging an Airborne assault of first responders? What stopped the surrounding states from doing the same???? And why did the Feds not go to that measure after day two?
6. New Orleans is unique among American cities. It's populace is unique, and every other thing about it is unique. Mississippi did not have these same issues, nor did Alabama or Texas or Florida. One big reason is that the density of the citizens in those other areas was nothing close to New Orleans. Another reason is that New Orleans had a large population who were dependent on the Government for their very welfare. The majority of the victims in New Orleans were those who depend on the Government for damn near everything. They did not want to leave for fear that they might somehow lose their benefits for a few weeks or a month. How many died due to that calculus?
My bottom line: When disaster strikes, our National Guard, supported by our Federal Forces should descend upon the scene with such overwhelming force that no child is left in fear. No mother will need worry about food or water. No Father will need fear for his family's safety.
It is a high standard, but I believe that this is the standard that we should expect from our collective Government.
Just my $0.02

Hey guys,
I just started my ROTJ build with the helm. I was able to get my hands on a FP helm and I am about to start the paint job but I have one thing that confuses me. I have looked at numerous photos of the helm and my question is the back keyhole area with the circuit board supposed to be the red color or a silver metallic color? I have seen photos of ROTJ helms and some are red and some are silver. Thanks!
