Anyone have experience with Entreprise receivers? They are around $250 but there is a 3 month wait.
there is some problems with rail , you may need fit
Does anyone have experience with ORF's recievers? They're around the 250 mark.
IF ORF ever actually produces one remains to be seen.
Their problem is they have no ejector block installed, which requires drilling and pinning (special jig required) Also the ejector block location is critical to proper operation.
Hello, I'm new in these parts. WHo has the Imbel recievers?
call DSA they have them listed on web page but cost is $449.00 www.dsarms.com
Imbels can no longer be imported. The only place you can get one now is off gunbroker or the classifieds. They're running @ $500.Quote:

If memory serves me correctly, you can get a DSA receiver for $350 if your a member over at the "Files". You'd have to see if they're (DSA) still doing that though. I'd opt for the DSA, even if the wait is longer. There is a reason for that.:thumbup1:
I've heard way too many horror stories about Century receivers to go there at any price.
The DSA deal is still good. They will sell it to Files members for dealer price ($350) as long as your FFL will go along with it.

One of the best places I have found for a great level of support is http://warre.biobees.com/methods.htm
I found them a few years ago and it is a very good site for everything Warre
Keep on keepin' bees
Don't worry about nay sayers, you will always have them. You need any help, you will find plenty here. I have heard them all, but I worked langs for a long time. And I switched to Warre's, and am glad I did. If I can help, I am only a pm away.
Here is a package install in pics and 2 short vids of finish.

Have at it. I'm running both.. frankly my Warre's are doing a ton better than the 8 frame Lang... I'm impressed.. will make a move to all Warre's from here on out. Working for me thus far...
Thanks guys! I was having a weak momment...just around here there is absolutely no one doing anything a little different.
Join the club.
If you get a chance, look around at the other bee clubs. I've noticed around here one club will be unmovable and a club in the next county over will embrace all methods of keeping. I guess I'm spoiled in my club. The vice president of the club keeps nothing but Top Bars, some members have a Warres next to Langs in their apriary. I think the key to our success is that no one judges or bad mouths another's keeping method. That's not what it is about, our main focus is the welfare of the honey bee. We all have questions and concerns and know no one has the all the answers. We listen to each others successes and share whatever answers we can find to our failures.
Keep on keepin' bees
Mama where in ONT? I get up to North Bay Temagami region a few times a year...
I am towards the sault on the other side of suds...I never thought of trying another bee club...maybe it is all about perception and I need to look at it as I can be a teacher!
I'm a first-timer, too, and started with a Warre in April. Being the only Warre hive around, the problem I've run into is that any of our other bee friends give Langstroth answers to Warre questions. Stick to forums like this and spend lots of time on the internet. Trust your intuition; trust your bees.
Hey mama, I too am in the same boat, first year first hive int 30 years and doing it in the city. The forums are great and read a lot. And when you get flack just act like you know what you are doing, give em a knowing, but not quite condescending look, a little laugh, and tell em that Warre's philosophical approach to beekeeping better with how you have chosen to live your life. No one knows what to do with that.

The blokes are calling the shots, and not always correctly, on the home front on the new series House Husbands.
The show, premiering on TV One on Sunday, has four men with different backgrounds and different attitudes raising the kids, cooking the meals and taking care of all matters domestic while their significant others are working nine to five.
It's a learning curve for Justin (Firass Dirani), Kane (Gyton Grantley), Mark (Rhys Muldoon) and Lewis (Gary Sweet), with some taking to it better than others.
But if they have each other's backing, there's a chance they just might get it right in the end ... despite a few snags along the way.
The unofficial alpha male is Sweet's Lewis, a successful builder who expected to settle down with his long-time partner Gemma (Julia Morris) and their 5-year-old daughter Matilda after selling his business. But not only is Gemma unwilling to leave her rewarding job as a nurse, she welcomes the opportunity to take on more responsibilities at work, confident (well, sort of) that Lewis can handle things at home.
The only thing is, says Sweet, Lewis is good at the big picture but not so hot when it comes to the details. And being a house husband ... well, that's all details, all the time.
"He often gets tripped up by the little things," Sweet says.
Sweet has also enjoyed getting to know Morris.
"She is an absolute gem. When she was cast I wasn't apprehensive but I also wasn't familiar with her as an actress. But she's amazing - she's a very hard worker and she's got maybe the quickest brain of anyone I've encountered.
"They say elite athletes have certain fibres in their muscles making them faster; I reckon she's got those in her brain. I think people are going to be very surprised by the calibre of her acting."
Sweet calls the relationship between the two loving but occasionally combative.
"I think Gemma is very long-suffering," he smiles. "Lewis is a bloke with big plans - he's a bit of a dreamer - and Gemma provides the voice of reason. She's got a very dry sense of humour and she doesn't mind taking the piss out of Lewis. She's very forgiving of his mistakes but she can fire up."
And joining forces with Mark, Kane and Justin gives Lewis the chance to make the odd mistake.
"We get into some situations that blokes will definitely be able to relate to and that will have women shaking their heads," Sweet says.
"Lewis tries to run the show and he's not happy if he gets outfoxed. He's pretty clever, though - he's on the ball. So he might let the others think they've got one over on him but he usually has an ace up his sleeve and he's happy to pull it out when he needs it."
Sweet believes the show's talented cast has made the most of its honest, heartfelt storylines.
"It's a character-driven show, with four strong male characters and four equally strong female characters," he said. "That made it interesting to me.
"The by-play, the situations these people find themselves in - they all feel to me like they're based in truth. There are dramatic situations but there's a lot of humour."

- Seasonal Fruit Basket
- Yosemite Park Entrance Fee
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers to Extend Stay
Midway between LA and San Fran, the piping peaks and yawning valleys of Yosemite impose a ponderous silence—white noise to the typical urban din. Your ears will ring clear as a bell on a peaceful stay away from the crowds at Narrow Gauge Inn, seven minutes outside the storied state park.
"If you want to stay in a place that celebrates its mountainous surrounds, book a room at this friendly inn, four miles south of the park entrance," says Frommer's. "All of the motel-style units have a luxury cabin feel, [some] with A-frame ceilings, little balconies or decks, antiques, quilts, and lace curtains; some have wood paneling."
Wake to dawn-lit clouds cresting over pine tree silhouettes. Save for the hum of the occasional car on a distant road, none but nature speaks as you gaze at Mount Raymond from your private balcony.
Plot a scenic path through Mariposa Grove during a snowshoe excursion through this sanctuary of Giant Sequoias—some of which are pushing 2,700 years old. Badger Pass, inside the the park, is perfect for downhill skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. A nearby horse-drawn sleigh ride or ice skating on the Valley's outdoor rink completes the winter wonderment. There's also a heated motor-coach available to help you tour the park in high-class comfort.
Later come back to your room and warm up with a complimentary hot beverage on your own private balcony.
There's no doubt about it—this Escape to Yosemite is one to remember.
"The Narrow Gauge Inn is a perfect place to stay near Yosemite's south entrance. It is truly charming—with lots of character. The rooms are cute and very clean and comfortable. If we had more time on this trip, we would have stayed here another night."-- TripAdvisor

Attrition.org Down/Attacked
Brian Martin's (jericho) crimes and frauds exposed for justice
Warning: If you have been blackmailed or denigrated by attrition.org / securityerrata.org websites operated by jericho (real name: Brian Marin) - do not hesitate to make a legal lawsuit against him:
Real name: Mr. Brian Keith Allan Martin.
Born on: April 1973 in South Carolina.
Currently resides at: 12646 West Virginia Avenue, Denver 80228, CO, United States.
Place of work: consultant at Tenable Network Security since 2008.
Work email: firstname.lastname@example.com
More detailed information about Brian Martin: http://atrition.org/
It may be also useful to make your lawyers contacting his current employer and inform them about his criminal activities and background (more information below).
Chronology of Brian Martin's crimes and frauds
Mr. Brian Martin, described above, is an amateur criminal. He has been already brought to the justice in the past:
Arizona, Maricopa County Court
12 April 1997, Case N°CR1998-009088-A
Marijuana-possession and drug dealing.
Arizona, Maricopa County Court
11 November 1998
Driving license suspended for driving under alcohol.
Texas, Bexar Criminal Court
12 April 1999, Case N°CC5-690773
Unlawfully carrying a weapon.
Arizona, Maricopa County Court, Civil Court
3 November 1999, Case N°TJ1999-000792
Rent debts, unpaid credits and loans.
Currently Brian Martin operates attrition.org and securityerrata.org websites filled with garbage and meaningless information, where he periodically posts some articles with distortion of facts, fake "analysis" and defamation writings backed by dishonorable and/or criminal entities. His others inventive articles about great hacks that have never occurred or fabricated situations were obviously created under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
The originating IP address is from the Czech Republic (220.127.116.11).
The attrition.org website is currently down as well. Not sure if it's due to DoS or brought down by the owner.
Judging by the poor spelling and the direct attack, I wonder if this is a Gregory Evans doing...

Story highlights
- Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Istanbul and Riyadh are all upgrading their main transport hubs.
- There is pressure in the region to build the most 'iconic' airport.
- The combined capacity in the region will number 450 million -- three times current traffic.
- Istanbul and Dubai are both claiming their airports will be the world's biggest.
The Middle East is currently the setting of a new form of airspace race. As the economies grow in a handful of countries in the region, so too do ambitions -- and few things symbolize a country's aspirations as aptly as an airport.
It's no wonder, then, that Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Istanbul and Riyadh are each vying to throw up the biggest and grandest transportation hub in the region.
"The Middle East likes to use words like 'iconic' and 'world class,'" says Anthony Mosellie, a managing principal at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the architecture firm in charge of the Abu Dhabi Midfield Terminal Complex design.
The total airport expansion for Abu Dhabi, which is slated for completion in 2017, will clock in at $6.8 billion (Delta's $1.4 billion JFK upgrade pales in comparison).
Though this sounds like a hefty sum, Mosellie notes that per-square foot, it's pretty reasonable. It just happens that the new complex will take up seven million square feet -- just a little larger than the Pentagon. It will also alter the Abu Dhabi skyline.
"It might be the tallest terminal building in the world," he notes.
The new airports are already battling for superlatives. Doha's impending Hamad International Airport will house the world's second longest runway, while Istanbul and Dubai are competing for the title of world's largest airport. Fittingly, all are implementing state-of-the-art facilities -- be it specially designed runways or tiered bridges -- to accommodate the Airbus A380 -- the world's largest passenger aircraft.
To a degree, these looming hubs are also meant to be a showcase for the city beyond the passport controls. Retail, five-star hotels and landscaping are as much a part of the designs as customs and security features. The Abu Dhabi terminal, for instance, will also house a museum to pique interest in the city's impending Louvre and Guggenheim additions.
"A number of passengers may not make it to Abu Dhabi, because they're only connecting. The plan is to use the airport to introduce them so they can come back on subsequent visits," says Mosellie.
Perhaps more telling than the various design features are the airports' planned capacities; combined, they will ultimately accommodate 450 million passengers a year -- a significant jump from the 140 million that currently make their way through the region.
"When you add the numbers together, it feels over the top. It seems it will be quite difficult for them to reach their aspirations when you view them in a cluster," says Rend Stephan, partner and managing director of The Boston Consulting Group. Still, Rend expresses doubts that any of the proposed airports will flounder.
"Maybe they won't fill capacity in the next five years, but I don't think any of the airports will collapse. The whole region has adopted an 'if-you-build-it-they-will-come' strategy. When you're advanced structurally, that strategy can work."
The airports are part of a wider expansion scheme across the region. Increased airport activity also means increased landing fees and duty-free revenues. In Dubai, aviation already accounts for 28% of the city's GDP -- a figure that's expected to grow to 35% once the new airport is fully operational.
"This is a country that sees the value of aviation and embraces it," says Lorne Riley, head of corporate communications at Dubai Airports.
Since its inception, Dubai International has seen its passenger numbers grow an average of 15% per year (roughly three times the global average). This year, it surpassed Charles de Gaulle in terms of international passenger traffic, making it the second busiest airport in the world. As a result, Riley is not worried they're overreaching with their plans.
"We're not overextended... yet. While it's not an issue now, it could become an issue in the 2020s when we max out our capacity, which is 74 million. By the end of the year, we should reach 66 million," says Riley.
While Stephan thinks some of the airports might have to "adjust their aspirations," he thinks each holds its own advantage. In particular, he predicts tremendous growth for the projected Istanbul New Airport, which is aiming for a yearly capacity of 150 million.
"Istanbul is growing. They are capturing a market share from European carriers, and compared to the GCC countries, they have a strong domestic market. Will they hit the exact numbers they talk about? Who knows? But they are quite strong, and I have no doubt this will continue into the foreseeable future," he says.
Of greater concern, perhaps, is the limited amount of airspace available when all airports are up and running. Riley admits that there won't be room for two Dubai airports.
"You probably couldn't operate two airports of that size at full capacity so close to each other because of air traffic. Airspace is a finite thing," he says. What will ultimately happen to Dubai International, though, remains to be seen.
"We don't have a firm answer on that right now," Riley admits. "Right now, the master plan is being looked at and fine tuned."

In urban environments across the country, traffic congestion has become a seemingly intractable problem. A major contributing factor to congestion—the lack of appropriate traffic signal timing—is one challenge that can be met head-on with effective solutions that will make a real difference.
Three relatively simple measures have been used by transportation officials to improve traffic flow through intersections, reducing congestion: adaptive signal control, signal preemption/priority for transit and emergency vehicles, and advanced signal timing.
The central goal of signal control is to optimize vehicle flow through a given road network. In most cases, the most powerful and cost-effective approach is to improve the timing of the traffic signals at all intersections in the network. Adaptive signal control uses very recent data to adjust signal timing "on the fly" based on close to real-time traffic conditions. Software systems like MIST (Management Information System for Transportation) and OPAC (Optimized Policies for Adaptive Control) have been used successfully by municipalities, state DOTs, and others for this purpose.
OPAC is a traffic adaptive signal control algorithm that provides for continuous online optimization of phase duration, cycle length, and offsets in immediate response to real-time traffic flows. OPAC eliminates the need to develop and store timing plans for different traffic conditions while controlling both isolated intersections and networks of intersections in coordinated operation.
OPAC uses a predictive type of optimization with a rolling horizon. This congestion control strategy—which attempts to maximize throughput—adjusts splits, offsets, and cycle length but maintains the specified phase order. For uncongested networks, OPAC uses a local level of control at the intersection to determine the phase online and a network level of control for synchronization, which is provided either by fixed-time plans (obtained offline), or a virtual cycle (determined online).
The types of control and levels of local and global influence are flexible. Predictions are based on detectors located approximately 10 to 15 seconds upstream. After the initial 10 to 15 seconds, a model predicts traffic patterns. System monitoring and coordinated control features are provided through MIST, which communicates with individual intersection controllers and monitoring devices, gathering data to feed the OPAC algorithm and transmitting signal timing instructions rendered by OPAC.
The implementation of an adaptive control system such as OPAC provides many advantages over existing fixed-timed plans by minimizing traffic delays through effective signal operation, improving travel time, reducing fuel consumption, and improving air quality while simultaneously reducing maintenance and operation costs and facilitating automated traffic data collection.
Several U.S. cities, including Chicago and Seattle, already have such sophisticated computer-guided traffic management systems in place; Cary, N.C., and Sarasota, Fla., are among those currently implementing such systems; and other cities around the nation are following suit.
Traffic signal preemption and priority systems allow emergency vehicles and transit vehicles to move easily through a grid of signalized intersections by means of a vehicle-mounted transponder that communicates with the signal controller at each intersection.
In the case of emergency vehicles, signal preemption changes the traffic light signal to green in the direction the vehicle is traveling and red for all other directions. For transit vehicles, signal priority enables the vehicle (bus, train, or streetcar) to extend an existing green cycle for an upcoming intersection so that it can pass through the intersection without stopping. This promotes mobility, timeliness, and fuel efficiency, and improves air quality in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Celebrate safely: Tips for a happy, safe holiday
By Geoffrey Merritt
Safety Officer, UTSA Police Department
(Dec. 12, 2006)--This holiday season, don't let the spirit of giving lull you into giving burglars and thieves a chance to do their dirty work. Crooks love the holidays as much as everyone else, but chiefly because it's an opportune time for crime.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Here are some tips on how to celebrate safely this holiday season.
- Be sure to lock doors and windows before you leave your home.
- Don't display holiday gifts where they can be seen from a window or doorway
- If you go out for the evening, turn on lights and a radio or television, so the house or apartment appears to be occupied.
- Immediately after the holidays, mark new gifts with an identification number and record serial numbers. The UTSA Police Department can engrave your items for free.
- Use only fire-resistant ornaments on a Christmas tree and make sure electric lights are in good working order.
- Avoid leaving boxes from purchases (especially TVs and computers) on the curb for trash pick-up.
- Stay alert and be aware of what's going on around you.
- Park in a well-lighted space, lock your car, and put shopping bags and gifts in the trunk.
- Avoid carrying large amounts of cash; pay with a check or credit card whenever possible.
- Have non-alcoholic beverages available for party guests.
- Serve food before serving alcoholic beverages.
- Obey the law. The legal drinking age in Texas is 21, and furnishing alcohol to a minor is an arrestable offense.
- Watch what you drink and know your limits. A good rule is 0-1-3: 0 drinks if you're driving or underage, 1 drink per hour, no more than 3 drinks in an evening.
Last but not least, don't let holiday stress get the best of your holiday spirit. Make time to get together with family, friends and neighbors. And think about reaching out in the spirit of the season to help someone who is less fortunate or lonely.
Do your part to make the holidays a safe and happy time for everybody -- except criminals.

text: Well look at Sasha in 1991 and two / three years later. He was very tiny in 1991 and obviously had really heavy growth spurts afterwards - just look what lesser sprints did to Gachinskis jumps and when Plushenko was not able to land a quad at 2000 Worlds Mishin also cited a growth spurt as making his jumps unstable. Add to that a coaching change starting to take effect and doing military service even if you probably have better conditions in military when you are an athlete, it still adds a disadvantage compared to other athletes. I think it was Alexander Uspenski who once in an Interview quite openly admitted that he went to university for the main reason that students dont have to do military service in Russia. That gives you an impression that going to military is not really helpful to boost ones skating career. Sasha didnt compete at 1995/96 Nationals, as he had to sit them out due to knee injury. And the next year he placed 7th and not 18th. But yes all the others, Urmanov, Yagudin, Plushenko placed (deservedly) above him for the one reason that he just had been on the ice for a couple of weeks after a really bad injury and entered that competition knowing that he was unable to perform a 3 Axel yet. Thats what I meant with bad timing it gave the other guys a chance to overtake him in the rankings at Russian Nats. And the next year it was pretty obvious that Russian Fed supported other the youngsters far more than Abt. I apparently missed that placement at Russian Nats were decided based on GP placements that year, because I referred to robbery at Russian Nats that year and not during the GP. 1. because the lower placement at RN occasionally didnt allow him to skate at major international competitions 2. because he skated better a number of times at international competitions and was still placed behind his worse skating teammates (EC 2002, SLC SP, WC 2000 QR .). Come on, its not like that matters only in Russia if you are no. 1, 2 or 3 in your team or if a skater has support by his own fed when competing internationally.

What do you do for SHB control in a TBH? So far I have not done anything, but I've seen the beetles in the hive. They really like hanging out around the follower board since the bees can't get through it to fight them away. I was looking at beetle barns, but for those you are supposed to use Checkmite+ or some kind of poison so when the bees chase the mites in, then the mites eat the poison. But after reading the description of checkmite, I don't believe it would be considered organic, considered some states require a pest control license to even buy it. I've also considered sliding a pan with oil into the rails I have built for my bottom board. Is the oil really an effective solution? Then there are the beetle traps made to stand up in the bottom of a Lang frame. I suppose I could fix this to the bottom of the hive, or the leader board, or even build a custom Lang/TB that I could mount one in. Those are said to be half filled with apple cider vinegar or mineral oil. Does that actually bait the beetles in, or does it just kill them when the bees chase them in?
So far I have done nothing about the SHB, but after speaking to a much more experience beekeeper, I'm getting nervous that a catastrophe is building. The best place to start would be to remove any hiding places for them, like the follower board. Unfortunately, I just made some splits, and I'm afraid if I pull the follower board the bees my vacate the box in favor of a more comfortable nest.
Any tips or advice would be great!

I have to confess that I have never ever made a Risotto, though I about 3 weeks ago I bought a packet of risotto rice and have been trying to pluck up the courage to have a go.
Last night my eldest went to to a friends for dinner and his Italian mother served Risotto, he said it had peas/spinich and white fish in and a poached egg on top. Does anyone have any recipes for this, or at least some pointers - I haven't a clue.

Don't be scared of risotto and please pluck up the courage to try this basic recipe:

It's so much easier than you may think and if done properly, you'll be rewarded with some of the most delicious, comfort food you could ever imagine...

Re: Risotto
Hi Earthmum,
Well I dont have that specific recipe but it shouldnt be hard. Sometimes I think theres a myth surrounding risotto that makes people think its very hard to make. In fact its quite simple. Ok there s a bit of arm work involved but other than that its actually one of the recipes that gives me more pleasure to make.
All risottos have 1 thing in common: stock.
The one you mentioned above either has fish or veg stock.
There are plenty of recipes here check them out.
Here's one of my favourite
You dont have to do it with king crab you may replace it for lobster or shrimps.
Also one tip I got from Jamie: in the end you always add either butter or parmesan and cover with a lid for a minute before serving. If its seafood or fish risotto you dont add parmesan. You can either add butter or cream.
Hmm risotto...

Re: Risotto
There are quite a few threads on the forum about risotto , this one I think has some good tips in it.
One of the main tips that I will give you is ..have a good quality of stock and keep the stock hot , for this reason , the stock adds the flavour to the rice .
If you add cold stock to the rice whilst its cooking , the cooking process will stop for a few moments whilst the stock heats.Adding a hot stock does not do this.

Re: Risotto
Yep, keep the stock simmering on another hot plate and add it by the ladle. We've had loads of people come on the forums and ask why it takes them 45 minutes to cook a risotto - as mummza said, not much point adding cold stock.
Also, you don't have to furiously stir non-stop, but don't leave the kitchen while it's cooking.
Just add the spinach at the end, when you leave it to rest (this stage is important, don't omit it). It'll wilt in the heat. If using fresh peas, do the same. If frozen, defrost then add a minute before the end of cooking time, before you take it off the heat to rest.
I'd definitely add Parmesan to this variation on the basic theme, and separately grill or fry the fish. I think you risk breaking the fish up into pointless little bits if you try and add it during the cooking/stirring process.

Re: Risotto
Earthmum , did you see Jamie's last TV series, in one program , he made a 'batch' of white risotto and used this as a base to make several others.. after the show I tried to make a tomato risotto in this way..results were excellent.
http://www.jamieoliver.com/bloggers/vie … p?id=61827
As Anna says you don't need to stir the risotto all the time.
But make sure you have a rice that is suitable for making risotto as you will find that it gives a better result.

Re: Risotto
I have been told
carnaroli rice for risotto
onion or leek and oil in a separate pan
on the pan you are going to cook it ............just nothing but the hot pan ............. and throw the rice in it stirring until the rice is roasted but not burn nor colored
then you can start adding the vegs you like or fish or mushrooms you have prepared in a separate pan
as already said keep a boiling stock near you and add ladles of it while stirring for the minutes written on the rice instructions i,e, 16 or 18 mins
good luck
and add a good sound piece of butter at the end with fire off and mix it with the ladle until it melts and gives your risotto the final touch .............. before parmigiano

As a risotto maker myself, I thinik that Jamie's recipe os quite ok, with a couple big objections.
Don't calculate the time you need to toast the rice, rather let it toast (stirring) until the rice turns translucent and sart "singing" (emitting a thin, whistling-whizzing sound). This is when you need to add the wine.
Don't add the stock bit by bit stirring. Add lots of stock at once, until the rice is submerged, stir once (even better, shake the pan) and let it cook over a low fire. The toasting is a sort of very light parbolingin procedure, that allows the rice to cook evenly without sticking. if you stir, the rice releases the amid, sticks and does not cook evenly. So, avoid stirring (except for the occasional shake) until the rice is al dente, then start stirring vigorously to let it releasse the starch and turn creamy. Besides, cooking it without stirring you also have time to do other stuff!
(By the way: poached egg over risotto... Ntch! Totally unitalian!)

Bury My Heart at Wounded Drumstick
Original post made by the dogfather, Danville, on Jan 25, 2011
Web Link
Web Link
...got me thinking: is it really necessary to exterminate a flock of indigenous wild turkeys in the Crow Canyon CC gated community, for doing what comes (and goes) naturally to the birds? Has Manifest Destiny really come to this? Really?
The first article announces The Plan half-cocked by the Homeowners' Association to engage a "certified" hunter to kill ¾ of the indigenous flock. Their crime against humanity: "the main problem is turkey droppings, which are 'everywhere.' The birds can also cause such problems as damaging flower and vegetable gardens and scratching cars."
Even if the hyperbolic "everywhere" happened to be true, are hoses illegal in Crow Canyon? And note the verb choice in the second sentence. One "can" only assume that they "haven't." If you believe these shallow rationalizations are so much, well, turkey poop, please raise your hand – mine's up. I'm mildly surprised that they didn't invoke the classic South Park episode about a community tragically beset by a turkey revolt Web Link , except that this variation on the theme really isn't funny.
The second article makes reference to Fremont's having ended its contract with a local company that supplies Border Collies to control their local lands that have been befowled by Canada Geese. It was apparently done on the economics, and not on any ineffectiveness, of that solution.
When not pursuing higher education goals (google: "Chaser"), these brilliant and indefatigable canines delight in physical work, including "herding" geese and other birds away from places we late arrivers wish they weren't – golf courses, airports, beaches, etc. They are not bred or built to kill, but to annoy their subjects into compliance – in this case, inducing them to prefer the wide open spaces surrounding the human enclave. I'd also reckon that the conditions are neaRLY perfect – perimeter fencing and slow speeds on the internal roads (so far enforced by speed bumps, thankfully, rather than hunters).
When humans were granted dominion over the animals (Genesis 1:26 for those of you, so inclined, following at home), it came with a stewardship obligation that we homo sapiens have honored, as here, mainly in the breach. We too lightly resort to this kind of final solution. Can't we – I'm looking at YOU, Crow Canyon Homeowners Association – do better than this?

hey derek, your references of lilly white gate dwellers suggest to me that you grew up in an area infested with drugs and crime like oakland, richmond, or even antioch. danville is awesome. people pay a lot of money for their homes around here and the have the right to complain about birds damaging their personal property or even making their lives more difficult. and if you think shooting the birds is the answer, you need to check out linden, ca. i remember in high school, at san ramon high some guy and his friend got caught shooting a deer in whitegate out of their jeep. Danville is just not the place for this type of behavior. good luck with your adjustment to suburbia

Here's the poop on the turkeys. First of all they're not indigenous. I think they flew in from Massachusetts because until a few years ago there were no turkeys at Crow Canyon CC. As for the dog, sorry to say it doesn't work. The turkeys don't leave. They just fly up into the trees or onto the roofs until the dog leaves. Speaking of which the HOA has had several expensive roof repairs due to turkey damage. Additionally they root around in the flower beds and lawns, damaging the landscaping. They peck on cars when they see their reflections. They roam the streets in large groups blocking car and foot traffic. And your small pet can be fair game. So bye bye birdie.

Interacting with readers and authors
David Schoonmaker
ONE OF THE GREAT PLEASURES of my job is interacting with readers. Sure, sometimes the conversation is to set straight something I've said. I have, indeed, been known mistakenly to refer to an "amphibian" as a "reptile"—biology is not my strong suit. I don't mind; I wouldn't be here if I weren't a perennial student.
More often, however, the contact is to discuss the substance of content in the magazine and expand on it. Take Brian Hayes's January–February "Computing Science" as an example. As a refresher, Brian devoted that column to efforts to simulate life with computer programs. The column starts with the sentence, "Almost 30 years ago, Harold J. Morowitz, who was then at Yale, set forth a bold plan for molecular biology."
Not long after that issue was mailed to readers, my phone rang, and the caller announced, "Hello, this Harold Morowitz at George Mason University." I soon learned (to my relief) that he was pleased with the column but had a few updates. Almost 30 years later, he's still working on that bold plan to completely understand the workings of a cell, but there have been twists in the plot. You can read more about that in "Letters to the Editors," where we have waived the normal 250-word limit on account of fascination.
Of course, interactions with authors are often an equal treat—and sometimes of the small-world sort. We actually learned of Robert Louis Chianese's work (see "The Umbrellas," pages 108–109) when Sigma Xi's executive director, Jerry Baker, attended a meeting of the Pacific Region of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, of which Chianese was president, the first with a humanities background.
Robert is English professor emeritus at California State University, Northridge, where I was once an English major and science minor. We compared notes, and he was involved in a cross-disciplinary program (humanities and science, of course) and taught only one English course per semester at the time. As far as either of us can recall, I was never his student. But I certainly was the student of a number of his capable colleagues. It was a treat to share memories.
You may recall the announcement in this space back in September 2011 that nearly all of American Scientist's back issues (since 1913) are now housed at the digital archive JSTOR. Some of you may even have had the good fortune to use that service if your institution provides access. Others, however, have not been so fortunate—until now.
In early January, JSTOR announced a major expansion of its beta program called Register & Read; it now includes 1,200 publications, of which American Scientist is one. Register & Read requires, as the name suggests, registration, which includes providing some demographic information to help JSTOR understand who the users are. Once you're registered, it allows you to read online as many as three articles every two weeks at no charge. More information is available at: http://about.jstor.org/rr. We're also exploring another JSTOR option that allows individuals to download articles for a fee. Stay tuned!
Finally, I direct your attention to a note concerning the Scientists' Bookshelf. It is with deep regret that we must bid the section adieu with this issue.—David Schoonmaker

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Kruss, Dec 24, 2012.
Maybe they can get Kristin Chenowith to reprise her role as Glinda. The woman doesn't age!
I can return to the thread now because I finally saw it today. I loved it! I agree that Russell Crowe isn't a singer, but I thought he did a good job in the acting department. Everyone else was stellar IMO. Anne Hathaway's Fantine absolutely broke my heart (in the best way possible). I don't think that she overacted at all.
I adore the stage version, the 10th Anniversary and (except for the awful JoBro) the 25th Anniversary. However, a stage production can't show the grit and grime of the story in the way a visual movie can. I think this raw storytelling brought so much to the story. I really enjoy both stage and movie now, with no comparisons between them.
At the end, being a huge Eponine fan, I was surprised she wasn't with Fantine here. I always thought that Eponine showed up at the end on stage as a representative of the one whose only love was Marius (as a counterpart to Fantine whose only love was Cosette). However, the more I think of it, I think this movie ending is better. It makes so much more sense. And, given that this story is about redemption (as much as other themes), having the Bishop there was a perfect completion of the redemption angle for me.
And crying? Oh boy, did I cry!! As in, gut-wrenching, teeth-baring, tears sliding down into my cleavage crying! I even started crying all over again during the credits. I love it when a movie does that for me.
Barbra Streisand is heading up a "Gypsy" remake with herself as Mama Rose, and she reportedly wants Lady Gaga to play Louise.
Back to Les Miserables, Oscar nominations are due this week, and IMDb has an interesting look at the projected favorites: http://www.imdb.com/list/--Aj0TA7c14/.
Into the Woods (which is probably my all-time favorite musical) is also in the pipeline with Rob Marshall directing. No word on casting yet, but they were hoping to get Meryl Streep (isn't everyone ).
Jackman's biggest stage cred is really playing another Aussie, Peter Allen in "The Boy From Oz," where the arrangements were lowered from Allen's original key to something better suited to Jackman's range. The other big musical parts he played on stage were baritone roles (in "Oklahoma" in the West End and a concert version of "Carousel"). His vocal range is not that of a high tenor, which is what this role requires. As to his acting, I thought his acting and comprehension of the character were good. But when the entire libretto is sung-through, I don't think that is enough. This is a 60+ MILLION dollar production, not bad community theater.
They would have had to buy out Crowe from his contract, plus it would have been horrible publicity. So I seriously doubt that even if they realized Russell Crowe was not the right actor as Javert that they would have gone to the expense to recast the role.
As for other musicals in the pipe, Rob Marshall, the director of "Chicago" and "Nine" has a version of Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods" reportedly in the works. Remakes of both "Gypsy" and "Damn Yankees" have been in development hell for ages, and this summer there was a rumor that George C. Wolff was going to direct a movie version of "In the Heights" which won the Tony for Best Musical several years ago, however that seems in limbo as well since Universal put the picture in turn-around.
This is my favorite number from the film: Redmayne's Empty Chairs.
These two are good too : Hatheway's I Dream A Dream, Barks' On My Own.
Todd skated to it in a show called "Skaters' Tribute to Broadway" in October 1998. I *think*the show was aired on A&E. I seem to recall that Viktor Petrenko skated to it as well in COI (?), and maybe in a pro or pro/am comp?
Haven't seen the movie version of "Les Mis" yet, but hope to get to see it within a few days.
Into the Woods is a brilliant musical, but I wonder if it will be a big challenge to adapt it to screen-how could they have a narrator without using voice-over? Perhaps they will just use voice-over, but that often comes off as cheesy.
I've been listening to the soundtrack, and it basically confirms what I already knew from the trailers: Russell Crowe absolutely cannot sing, and it is unacceptable for him to have been cast as Javert.
Eddie Redmayne doesn't have the powerhouse voice of Michael Ball, but he has a nice tone and is worlds better than Nick Jonas. One valid interpretation of Marius, when he sings Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, is a young man still shell-shocked and fragile. Redmayne's version expresses that very well.
I prefer the great stage versions of I Dreamed a Dream when Fantine is despondent but not yet on her death bed--she still has some fight in her. But in the movie, they moved the song so that Fantine is inches from death. So Hathaway's version makes sense. (Side note: Hathaway's technique is generally fine, but her running scale in IDAD is a textbook example of poor technique. I'm shocked her vocal teachers didn't correct that before filming.)
But I can see no justification for Russell Crowe's "singing". His tone and diction are awful, and he sounds uncomfortable, unsure, and lacking command. It is everything Javert isn't.
That begs the question, why not lower the songs an octave to suit Jackman's voice? Jackman can sing--he's proven that many times. But like you said, this isn't his natural range. Valjean was originally written for a lower voice, but they raised it to fit Colm Wilkinson's natural range, so why not lower it back to the original?
Very good point. I have seen Les Mis on Broadway twice. Once with a Valjean with a deeper voice. He hd no problem, because they did exactly what you suggest. They made it work with his range.
Here's a theater critic's take on the film version of Les Miserables:
From the article:
^^ Awesome!!
Hugh Jackman reminds me of Garry Morris who played Valjean on Broadway, I believe after Colm Wilkinson. He is also on the Symphonic Recording.
Not saying they sound exactly alike-but that is who I thought of.
Thanks guys!!
*Runs to hunt them down*
The octave for Enjolras was also changed from the 10th anniversary concert (Michael Maguire, a high bass who over the yeas has become a mid-bass) to the 25th (Ramin Karimloo, a tenor), and both sounded terrific and looked totally comfortable. But imagine if Maguire had to sing higher and Karimloo had to sing lower. What a disaster that would have been!
So why didn't Jackman demand that they do that? Singing higher than one's natural range for an extended period of time is bad for the vocal cords too.
This is my favorite Jackman performance. I love the low notes he hits at 2:10 and 2:40. Also notice that his final note in the song is at the border of his falsetto, and that's around the lowest note in Bring Him Home when sung by a mid to high tenor.
I really think there may be something to the "conspiracy theory" that they made him sing worse than his potential to compensate for Russell Crowe's ineptitude.
Right, because directors of big-budget prestige projects are known for deliberately coaxing substandard performances out of their big-name stars.
(I'm not counting George Lucas.)
He may have tried. But, since most of the "popular"performances of Valjean have been tenors, maybe the decision was to keep it that way. Dumb, I think.
Mmm, nice!
Another possibility, not mutually exclusive of the "conspiracy theory": Certain conditions aren't conducive to the voice. Air temperature, air humidity, time of day, tiredness level, etc. all affect singers. Doing take after take, as is common in films, is terrible for the voice. Doing that day after day takes a serious toll.
I don't know what order the scenes were shot in, but it's more than plausible that Jackman's voice was wiped out by the end of shooting or by the umpteenth consecutive take, especially considering that he's singing above his natural range. I noticed Samantha Barks' voice also wasn't as resonant as I know she's capable of.
If Tom Hooper didn't take measures to help the singers (air quality, filming schedule, rest periods, etc.), then that was reckless.
Emmy Rossum is (somewhat) capable of singing better than she did in Phantom, and they pre-recorded it in a studio. There's a theory that Schumacher requested that she sing "young" and it got overdone. Her "Think of Me" is almost facepalm-inducing. There NO way anyone could have heard her at the edge of the stage, nevertheless in the back of an opera house.
She was also only 16 or 17 at the time. Her voice has improved since. I think she was just too young and under-trained to handle a part like Christine, and I don't think they got her the training she needed. She's a very good actress and quite a good singer - just not for that role at that time. They wasted her, IMO.
I was disappointed as well.
I liked Hugh but Bring him home didn't measure up to Gary Morris for me and several others. However I liked him elsewhere.
Russell was terrible and all the tension was gone in the scenes with Valjean because of it. The fact that the musical was written as different voice types is no accident and that Javert has to be a strong singer is important. Also think Russel's weakest moment was the scene where he jumped. I didn't feel his inner conflict or turmoil at all. I still remember that scene from the play when I first saw it and that was years ago. And it was and still is an amazing moment. Crowe is an amazing actor but I think he was so hampered by the task of singing beyond his abilities that a lot of his character work was negligible.
I absolutely loathed Amanda Seyfried. I never saw Mama Mia but I have never been a fan of hers so I might be biased. But I had heard she could sing but other than Crowe I thought she was the weakest. I will give her props for those final super high note though. Also never liked Cosette as a grown up. Wished Marius had of chosen Eponine.
Thought the young guys were terrific. Enjorlas and Marius. Empty chairs was probably the best song in the movie for me. To me that was an example of allowing the emotion but not letting it hamper the vocals or to become too self indulgent. I like many others agree that the director allowing the actors to get to emotional with the songs was a huge flaw. if it impedes the telling of the story it is wrong. The audience is supposed to feel the great emotion and not the actor. They use their emotion as a vehicle to bring their point across. but if the actor is emotionally overwrought and you can't understand them then they are no longer telling the story and they are playing the mood. As a great acting teacher told me what is mood spelled backwards?
Also not sure why if the story is set in France they use English accents in the singing. Nitpicky but I thought they could have been dropped for this film. I know it originated in London, hence the accents there but it kind of bugged. especially Gavroche. it seemed out of place.
I also agree about all the close-ups being a waste of film sets and scenery. I did like On my Own though. There is a great part in the extra features in the Singin in the Rain 50th anniversary about how brilliant Gene Kelly was at directing musicals for film. How he used the entire set and saw it as a delicious advantage and a way to make a musical on film its own entity outside of theatre musicals.
i have not seen the film- but listening to the links- redmayne is AMAZING- wow!! hathaway was just ok- maybe the visual helps sell it a bit more.... on my own is well done too- i love that song =)
i never go to the movies- maybe this one will get me out
For me that was the most disappointing part of the movie. He was too much in the throat and needed to be more in the head voice. But otherwise I thought he was very good.
And Rusty was just pretty bad casting. Didn't suit the role at all.
However I did like it overall very much. Thought Empty Chairs was probably the highlight. And I really liked Eponine's On My Own - my favourite song in the whole musical.
Another, less sympathetic, feminist review
I just saw it - loved Barks' On My Own, loved her voice the most. Also liked Redmayne. I thought Crowes acting was even worse than his singing. He is fabulous with the language, so for me, I could live with the songs because he got the tempo and inflection right. But geez, he had the stone facial expressions to match the Twilight chick who can't act either. Hugh acted circles around Russell IMO. Thought Cohen was fab. Too bad about Crowe, but otherwise very enjoyable. Everyone else was good enough to make worthwhile.
from the article:
I felt absolutely ZERO sexual tension between Javert and Valjean. One dude can be obsessed with another dude without it being anything sexual.
This I agree with.
Here's a not too bad clip of Crowe singing on stage with Jackman. He sounded better here, probably because he was more relaxed in this type of environment and could bob up and down like a rock star. I think the move role constrained him and he wasn't comfortable with it.
What accent do you think they should have used?

2. The organic sugar carried by Costco (at least here in Washington) is by Wholesome Sweeteners and comes in a green and yellow plastic bag. It is evaporated cane juice . . . says so right on the front of the bag. It also says so under "ingredients."
3. I'm not 100% certain on this point, but I believe that to be organic, it cannot be refined. The refining process includes bleaching, which would make it not organic. On the Costco bag (the back this time) it says "One cup organic sugar = one cup refined sugar." Which would indicate the manufacturer, at least, doesn't consider refined sugar to be organic or vice versa.
4. The simplest thing for you to do would be to go read everything on the bag. I certainly did . . . and I just did again.

Succanet is a darker version of dehydrated cane sugar. I am reading the Costco bag as I write this and if it is refined it is done so organically. 1cup equals one cup of refined as a comparison of how much to use for recipies. My bees are beautiful and going to have lots of stores for the winter. I sure wish there was scientific data on the use of organic sugar. My neighbor lost all his hives last year and had mites and Deseases while using cheap white beet round up ready sugar. No treatments or illnesses at all this year. I couldn't eat GMO sugar so am glad the bees like it this way. Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I will let you all know how they overwinter
Thank you Heather glad to be here.

Jarden Zinc Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint. The blanks are the metal disks that become 1¢ coins. It's a good business for Jarden—since 2000, the company has earned more than $800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.
The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2¢ to produce a 1¢ coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Canada, which has a currency similar to that of the U.S., will end penny circulation on February 4. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same?
Two Sides to the Coin
Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the nickel, which also has problems; charities that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 poll shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. Many people polled said they feared they would end up paying more for products.
Many experts disagree with ACC. They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either. Major George Hood of the Salvation Army says the group, which gets many coin donations, is not worried. "If pennies were to be removed from circulation, the Salvation Army hopes the American public will continue to donate generously to help people in need," he says.
Weller has one strong argument for keeping the penny, and that's the problem with the nickel. Each nickel costs the U.S. Mint 10¢ to make. If getting rid of the penny led to a greater use of the nickel, wouldn't that be trading one bad coin for another? For that reason, some experts have proposed getting rid of the penny and the nickel. Cash deals would then have to be rounded to the nearest dime.
Penny-Wise or Penny-Foolish?
Seigniorage (sayn-yor-ij) is the word for the difference between the value of a currency and its production costs. The cost of making U.S. coins dropped in 2012. But there is still no positive seigniorage on pennies or nickels.
President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with debit or credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?

UTSA manufacturing center helps businesses
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(April 24, 2009)--UTSA established the Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Lean Systems (CAMLS) in fall 2007 to strengthen local businesses in the manufacturing, service and defense industries. Since that time, the center has become a symbol of hope for businesses ravaged by an unmerciful economy. Those seeking to do more with what they have are turning to the center for help, and executives are discovering that solutions are available for businesses willing to embrace change.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"Here at our center, we show businesses how to improve their internal processes," said F. Frank Chen, director of CAMLS and UTSA Lutcher Brown Distinguished Chair in Advanced Manufacturing. "When a business seeks help from us, we often need to quickly understand its situation and challenges by asking its executives, 'What are your current key processes? How do you perform these processes? Why do you choose to perform these processes in this way?' Then, we work with the company to improve its manufacturing and operational processes for strengthened competitiveness and growth."
The CHISM Company, a San Antonio-based awning business, best exemplifies the center's approach. When a Chism Company official contacted Chen in late 2007, the family-owned business leader was saturated in orders. Executives believed the company's internal processes, resulting in a one-month turnaround for each order, precluded it from accepting additional business. So, Chism began to look for an external consultant to help it become a more efficient manufacturer.
"We reviewed and interviewed several providers in companywide lean and flexible manufacturing, robotics and radio frequency identification," said Roy Chism, the company's president. "We found our path and our previous and ongoing technology initiatives meshed best with UTSA's center. It is working with remarkable flexibility to meet our needs, and since our partnership began just over a year ago, we have noticed significant operational and development success."
"Working with The Chism Company has been a win-win situation," said Chen. "Because they are a family-owned business with a strong vision, its executives are quick to implement our suggestions and provide us with feedback about those changes. This momentum has allowed us to fine-tune the company's internal processes in a relatively short period of time, giving us the opportunity to show what lean tools can do for a business despite the poor economy."
After just five months, UTSA engineers redesigned Chism's shop floor and significantly improved internal processes. The changes improved the quality of Chism products and reduced its overall production costs. Notably, the project resulted in reducing the company's order fulfillment time from one month to less than a week, improving employee morale, participation and productivity. And, of course, those improvements increased bottom-line profits.

So drunk you shit on someone's bathroom's wall. Then runs away from crime scene. Owner of house goes to find said so shitty wall and yells to find out who it is. Then all you do is deny that you didn't shit on the wall when you really did.
There was a party going on at Brandon's house. He found shit on his bathroom walls. He yelled and asked everyone who was drunk at his house who did it. The "MatosWasted" guy is the first denies it and keeps being defensive about it. Even though Brandon knows it was him.

Re: School Dinners
One single hair folicule can harbour up to 50,000 germs, thats right 50,000! To hear that your child is being presented with food that contains hairs, and more specifically because kitchen staff do not take measures to prevent this, is just not acceptable. Episodes such as this are enough to put children off eating school meals for life.
I would strongly suggest a meeting with your child's head teacher in the first instance. I am sure he/she will be mortified to hear that there are concerns about food safety and liaise with the school catering manager to re-evaluate their procedures. If this route is not successful, your next step would be the local environmental health department. You can contact them by calling your local council.
A new Food Hygiene Rating Scheme introduced by the Food Standards Agency allows for members of the public to be better informed of food safety in the establishments they choose to eat at. Each food premise is given a hygiene rating which shows how closely the business is meeting the requirements of food hygiene law.
You can search for your child's school kitchen and any other food business on the Food Standards Agency website. (Unfortunately because I'm new I can't post a link!).
In regards to the quality and range of meals being served, ALL schools should now be meeting the National Nutrient Based Standards, again these can be found on the Food Standards Agency website.
You say you live in an area surrounded by fields of vegetables. What a shame that the local school children don't get to benefit from this huge advantage. It might interest you to take a look at The Food for Life Partnership, a national programme and award scheme that is taking the country by storm. Aimed at reconnecting children with fresh, local and organic ingredients whilst educating on the importance of a healthy diet, the FFLP is now working with over 4300 schools and communities across England. You may find some useful information to take along to your child's head teacher.

Doesn't your school have governors?
Isn't this the kind of issue they should take to the head beofre reporting it to local authorities?

Sharapova loses to Li Na in Australian Open semis
China's Li Na has overpowered second-seeded Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the Australian Open final and a chance for her second Grand Slam title.
Li, who won the 2011 French Open and was the losing finalist here to Kim Clijsters the same year, broke Sharapova's serve in the fifth and seventh games of the second set on Thursday.
Sharapova had dropped only nine games in five matches en route to the semifinals, a tournament record.
The sixth-seeded Li, who has been working since August with Justine Henin's former coach, Carlos Rodriquez, will play either defending champion Victoria Azarenka or 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens in Saturday night's final.

Officials for the Big Day Out say Kiwi music fans are "lucky" the music festival has lasted in New Zealand for so long.
The Big Day Out will be held in Auckland for the last time on Friday, with Australian promoter Ken West and New Zealand promoter Campbell Smith last night deciding to pull the plug after 18 years.
The festival has suffered low ticket sales this year after announcing a smaller line-up and pulling Kanye West from the bill, and a tearful Smith today said costs were too high to keep bringing the festival here without massive increases to ticket prices.
"It's very, very expensive to bring 35 international acts here for one show," Smith told bFM.
"Even in the years we were selling out we were barely breaking even. The reason it keeps coming back is that Ken loves New Zealand. We owe him a debt for bringing the damn thing here for so long.
"It's a very small market, it's a very small country. We've been lucky, to be honest."
Smith denied rumours the decision was a marketing ploy to boost sluggish ticket sales ahead of Friday's event.
"It's complete crap, it's bullshit. We are genuinely sad about having to do this (and) we wanted to let people know. It's a great show, it's always been a great show, you don't get this kind of intensity of international acts alongside local artists at this type of event.
Smith said previous years had all "pretty much sold out". Ticket sales were also slow in Australia, he said.
"People are saying that they aren't appreciating this line-up - that strikes me as strange. I think it's strong. For whatever reason we're not selling tickets. We haven't got a roll on."
He hoped fans would come along on Friday to "party" one last time.
"It is a sad day. I feel like we should be celebrating that it's been such an amazing and iconic event ... Everyone knows it's the last one and everyone will be feeling it."
The Big Day Out will be held on Friday at Mt Smart Stadium with Soundgarden, Nero, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Das Racist, Foster the People and Royksopp.
