Shabby chic desk
In the corner of the studio is this little pine desk that was very kindly given to us by my friend Julie when she moved back to the US.
It's a nice, solid piece of furniture, well made and sturdy ...
... although the boys have managed to mark and draw on the top.
The problem was ... pine just isn't my thing. Plus it didn't go with the rest of our furniture which, with the exception of our dining set, sofas and headboard, is all white.
For a while I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with it. Should I paint it white? Paint it white and distress it? Paint it green and distress it? Stain it dark? Tile the top?
Then I came across this post - specifically the coffee table makeover - and knew that that was what I wanted to do!
So I primed the drawers and legs and painted them with four coats of off-white satin paint and lightly distressed them with sandpaper ...
... and stained the top with dark, water-based satin varnish.
Ta-da! Look how beautiful it is now!! I totally LOVE it.
And did you notice those beautiful glass knobs??
I cannot even begin to tell you how thrilled I am with this makeover. I love it! I wish I'd done it a lot sooner.
As you can see in the first picture this desk used to hold the boys' computer, which has now died. So I get to dress it up a little with cute containers to hold pens and pencils and they can use it for drawing and crafting. And if it gets a little beat up, well it will only add to the charm.
See how well it goes with my ancient flea market chippy chair?

Blessings, Nellie
could you please leave a comment on my blog telling me the paint color and brand you went with? My dining room table looks like the style of this desk.. it is hunter green though with the natural wood top. I am wanting to paint my table and matching green (eeeek) hutch this color. I am so thrilled to see this table. My thoughts are coming together more. THANKS!ReplyDelete
Great job! LOVE the knobs!ReplyDelete
WOW - my first time here and that desk is fantastic! You did an amazing job!ReplyDelete
I love the contrast of top and bottom...great job!!ReplyDelete
Your table looks maaaaahvelous! I am trying to decide what to do with my pine table, and I love the dark stain on top. I may go with an olive green and the dark top. Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
I love the design of your table. Such a great makeover!! Two thumbs up!ReplyDelete
m ^..^
Only YOU could complete a make-over like this! Stunning... beautiful... ohhhh and ya, that photo above the desk is too-sweet-for-words...just FANTASTIC!!!!ReplyDelete
Question: Did you sand the top before you painted it? It looks so YUMMY! Great job!ReplyDelete
It's beautiful! I love it! Thanks for sharing pic's!ReplyDelete
oh, it looks soooooooo good! Way to go!ReplyDelete
A few years ago I transformed my great grandmother's sewing machine table in a similar way, and it sits in my entry way now...and everyone loves it. (my father didn't recognize it when he saw it, thought I purchased it at pottery barn or something! lol)
I'm sure you're enjoying it--and I LOVE the knobs!
I absolutely LOVE your makeover. I have very similiar end tables I would love to makeover this way. Can you tell me what color stain you used? And what brand, color paint you used? I assume you sanded the top down to bare wood , and didn't use a chemical stripper? And on the bottom you just primed and painted? LOVE your blog, would love your advice so I can duplicate your makeover on my won tables. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love what you have done, i have a lot of pine and i have been too shy to paint it but now you have given me the courage, thank you so muchReplyDelete
Your table is beautiful! I really love it! I've been working on refinishing a coffee table that is very similar to your table and am wondering what color of varnish and how many coats you used to get such a beautiful color without a lot of the orange grain of the pine coming through. I'd be so happy if I could get my table to look like yours, thanks so much!ReplyDelete

CU-Boulder faculty and staff are invited to a "mini medical school" on how the heart works Feb. 12 at noon in room 235 of the University Memorial Center.
The talk by Dr. Lonny Granston titled "Cardiology for Regular Folks" is part of the Wellness Wednesday series of brown-bag lunches featuring presentations on health, wellness and fitness.
Granston, who practices family medicine at the University Medical Group Practice in Boulder, will explain "what EKGs, blood pressure readings and other tests really tell us."
Free blood pressure screenings will be offered one-half hour before and after the noon program.
Also on Feb. 12, faculty and staff can have blood drawn for a cardiac risk profile from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. in Wardenburg Health Center. The cost is $10 payable by cash or check at the time of service. No appointment is necessary. The profile will provide total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels.
Anyone participating in the cardiac risk profile should fast for 12 hours before having blood drawn and should call Betty Greene at Wardenburg at 492-8885 for instructions.
Other programs being offered are "Walk For Your Health," "Slim For Life" and training for CPR and Standard First Aid.
The next Wellness Wednesday on March 12 at noon will be a Tai Chi demonstration by George Hernandez, location to be announced.
For information about events sponsored by the Boulder Campus Wellness Program call Betty Greene at 492-8885.

South Africa: Background
Diversity is a key feature of South Africa, where 11 languages are recognised as official, where community leaders include rabbis and chieftains, rugby players and returned exiles, where traditional healers ply their trade around the corner from stockbrokers and where housing ranges from mud huts to palatial homes with swimming pools.
The diverse communities, however, have not had much representation for long.
Until 1994 South Africa was ruled by a white minority government which was so determined to hang onto power that it took activists most of the last century before they succeeded in their fight to get rid of apartheid and extend democracy to the rest of the population.
The white government which came to power in 1948 enforced a separation of races with its policy called apartheid. It dictated that black and white communities should live in separate areas, travel in different buses and stand in their own queues.
The government introduced grand social engineering schemes such as the forced resettlement of hundreds of thousands of people. It poisoned and bombed opponents and encouraged trouble in neighbouring countries.
The apartheid government eventually negotiated itself out of power, and the new leadership encouraged reconciliation. But the cost of the years of conflict will be paid for a long time yet, not least in terms of lawlessness, social disruption and lost education.
South Africa faces major problems, but having held three successful national elections as well as local polls since the end of white rule, a democratic culture appears to be taking hold, allowing people at least some say in the search for solutions.
Very much Africa's superpower, South Africa has the continent's biggest economy, with strong financial and manufacturing sectors. It is a leading exporter of minerals and tourism is a key source of foreign exchange. But many South Africans remain poor and unemployment is high.
Land redistribution is an ongoing issue. Most farmland is still white-owned. Having so far acquired land on a "willing buyer, willing seller" basis, officials have signalled that large-scale expropriations are on the cards. The government aims to transfer 30% of farmland to black South Africans by 2014.
South Africa has the second-highest number of HIV/Aids patients in the world. Around one in seven of its citizens is infected with HIV. Free anti-retroviral drugs are available under a state-funded scheme.

If You Like Putting Sterilants in Our Water and Forcing "Undesirables" to Have Abortions, Have We Got a Science Czar for You
posted at 3:07 pm on July 11, 2009 by Jim Treacher
Zombietime, dependable chronicler of leftwing folly, has a real doozy for us this time. It turns out that John Holdren, Obama's new "science czar," has expressed some unusually radical ideas about stemming population growth. Or to put it more simply, he's a totalitarian eugenicist:
Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A "Planetary Regime" with the power of life and death over American citizens.
The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?
These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology — informally known as the United States' Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:
• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation's drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who "contribute to social deterioration" (i.e. undesirables) "can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational "Planetary Regime" should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans' lives — using an armed international police force.
Please read the whole thing for the details, along with photographic proof that Holdren's book, Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment, exists. Holdren really did say all that stuff, and he even lists the book in his curriculum vitae. If he's changed his mind about these things in the last 30 years, now might be a good time to say so.
These days, Holdren's focus is on global warming (or climate change, or whichever euphemism they've come up with this week). Which seems odd: If you're worried about overpopulation, wouldn't you want to encourage global warming? A nice flood would sure clear out all those undesirables.
Maybe Holdren should start building an ark. Sounds like he's already got his passenger list.
P.S. Interesting discussion in the comments at Zomblog.

Very curious as to how many times a year commercial keepers plan to rotate their boxes. I know spring for sure as I helped a keeper rotate last year. Lots of work.
Very curious as to how many times a year commercial keepers plan to rotate their boxes. I know spring for sure as I helped a keeper rotate last year. Lots of work.
I'm just a poor sideliner with between 100 and 200 hives usually. I don't rotate the boxes. As you say, it is a lot of work.
"Some beekeepers, trusting the ways of bees less than I do, at this point routinely 'switch hive bodies,' that is, switch the positions of the two stories of each hive, thinking that this will induce the queen to increase her egg laying and distribute it more widely through the hive. I doubt, however, that any such result is accomplished, and in any case I have long since found that such planning is best left to the bees." --Richard Taylor, The Joys of Beekeeping
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I usually reverse the boxes in the spring once it is warm enough and the bees are strong enough. This gives me the opportunity to clean the bottom boards of winter debris too. after reversing, a lot of the brood and bees are on the bottom and allows the bees to expand upwards.
Will Gruenwald Chilliwack BC
I will reverse brood boxes and/or add deep supers only once, in the Spring when I am preparing for splitting a month later. I believe I did avoid swarming and that it did provide lots of frames of brood for making splits. But I would never argue w/ Richard Taylor.
My Philosophy is that one should gather advice from those who have come before, take it in and then do what seems best for yourself and your bees.
Mark Berninghausen

Once, in the spring during spring brood examinations.............Durn, Roland, you are now an Entomological Engineer. I have been away from the forum too long. Did not even get to go to your graduation. TED
Thank to all who respndeed to my question. I am curious how many colonies do you guys have?
Actually we don't rotate at all, we leave them right side up all year long.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
>I am curious how many colonies do you guys have?
I have 250 bottoms and 200 tops and well over 500 boxes (not counting nucs and long hives etc.). I sometimes run out of tops and bottoms and use makeshift tops. That's not counting nucs, which I usually have several hundred of. So I usually say I have 200 hives, but I'm sure that number is lower at the moment.

when we use to winter 1 1/2 stories in texas we would reverse in early february. without reversing, there was always more brood in the medium than in the deep and that doesn't work well when making splits. in mid april after splits were made we would reverse back so the medium was back on top of the deep. sure was hard work and rough on the back. dont run 1 1/2 stories anymore a because the medium is an inconvenience for making splits and also can't get as many on a semi load. run all singles now in the winter. 10,800 +/-hives
Greg Stahlman; Stahlman Apiaries Inc.
Mark I have 250 ish. So much to learn, still a very new beekeeper. I am known to ask THE dumbest questions. I find if I dont ask, mistakes are more commonly made. Thanks for all the ideas, some will work for me and some perhaps wont. And Jim I was a little worried I might have to get bees with wings that pivot for inverted flight. wwhhooooooeeewww

1st homicide investigation of 2012 underway in Allentown
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Last year, it took six months. This year though, it's only taken seven days for Allentown to see its first homicide of 2012.
Police say a man was shot to death near Fountain and Chew streets in Center City early Saturday morning. It may be the year's first homicide, but it's the fifth in the past month in Allentown.
"Every year, more bad," said Anthony Franci, who lives near the shooting scene. "Every year. Everybody knows that, right? It's real bad right here."
Yellow chalk marks where several gunshots rang out just before 1 am Saturday morning. The victim made it around the corner before collapsing in front of a bodega on West Chew Street.
"They shot the guy right there, and when they shot him I guess he walked in front of the store and passed out," said neighbor Nicholas Rodriguez, whose nieces were sleeping just across the street from the shooting.
Police have not identified the victim, but have confirmed he is an approximately 22 year-old man.
"The victim at this point is being identified as a John Doe, pending positive identification," said Assistant Chief Joe Hanna.
According to neighbors, the victim was Hispanic -- someone they'd seen around the neighborhood but didn't know. A bouncer said the victim was at a bar at Ninth and Chew before the shooting, but said he didn't seem to run into trouble there.
"We're actively pursuing a number of leads as we speak," said Hanna.
It's not clear if the bodega's surveillance camera on Fountain Street caught the shooting on tape. Hanna said the victim may have been targeted.
"At this point it's starting to look like it's victim specific," he said.
This is Allentown's fifth homicide in the past month. On December 17, a woman and her boyfriend were shot to death on Hall Street as their daughter slept just feet away. A neighbor and a 16 year-old boy have been charged with their deaths. Three days later, a teenager was killed at Tilghaman and Jordan. Then, just over 24 hours after that, another man was shot and killed on North 15th Street. The boy's cousin was wounded.
"It's getting worse," said Rodrguez. "It's just getting worse, it ain't getting any better."
Some neighbors said they saw a red sedan speed away after the gunfire, but police have not confirmed that.

IMHO painting cypress provides the keeping with better appearance, but doesn't do anything for the bees. I have both pine and cypress and only used deck sealant. Yes, they're getting a little dark, but all still solid after a near a decade.
Plywood is another story. Without a finish, kiss it goodbye.
Paint or no paint, sheet metal on top is the only thing that lasted for me.
I also doubt the color makes any meaningful difference with hive temperature. They'll fan if its hot and cluster if not.
For me its about advertising. Everyone will know what bright white boxes are. Not many will see natural wood and less will know what they are.

Why Are People Procreating?

Why is it always women who have to explain their choice not to have children? Are men prodded with the same line of questioning and expected to explain this choice like women are, or is it perfectly natural for men to feel unsure about fatherhood? As a newlywed (like, really newly wed) I find it odd that most people direct that question at me. As if to say it's solely up to me or my husband has no say in the matter? Going forward, I'm going to suggest that all inquiries involving the utility of my uterus go directly to my husband. I'm tired of crafting clever responses.

Max—Youth Transitions into Health Care Careers
In many ways, Max is an enigma. A review of his school records shows that at various times throughout his career, he had had different educational labels placed on him, the most recent being learning-disabled. Max had difficulties adjusting socially within a traditional school setting and making academic progress. At the age of 19, Max graduated from an alternative school with a special education diploma. He entered the Project SEARCH program because he had a strong desire to continue learning and work competitively.
Max's first internship at the Carilion Clinic was in the maintenance department. Despite his shyness, Max quickly formed strong bonds and relationships with his co-workers. He respected the knowledge and experience of the skilled workers in his department, who, consequently, respected Max's dedication to better himself and his work ethic. Max's quest to be a good employee led him to volunteer at the hospital on weekends and snow days, when Project SEARCH was not in session.
Regretfully, at the end of the first rotation, Max had to move to his next internship. With great anxiety, he began working with the environmental services department, where his job included floor care and trash removal. Quickly, Max's gifts and talents were recognized by the folks working in this new department. After three weeks in his second rotation, Max was hired by Carilion Clinic New River Valley as a floor care specialist, working 28 to 32 hours per week. After his first review, he received a pay increase. Due to his excellent job performance, Max was offered a full-time position with benefits last week.

An uneasy homecoming for Burma's exile media
The return of exiled Burmese media groups is one of the clearest signs of the country's improved reporting environment, but the outlets may struggle to compete as Western donors reduce funding. Furthermore, journalists are worried about losing the editorial independence they enjoyed in exile. By Shawn W. Crispin

2 hurt in Hwy. 26 rollover crash west of Madras
Both in fair condition at Bend hospital
MADRAS, Ore. - Two Warm Springs residents were taken to a Madras hospital, then to one in Bend Tuesday after their car left Highway 26 and crashed about eight miles west of Madras, Oregon State Police said.
The crash occurred in one of the locations announced last week where OSP received an ODOT grant to provide overtime enforcement hours to prevent "roadway departure" crashes.
Around 12:40 p.m., a 2003 Oldsmobile four-door driven by Hazel Marie Wahpat, 57, was eastbound on Highway 26 near milepost 107, going through a sweeping left curve, when the car traveled onto the gravel shoulder, troopers said.
The driver tried steering back onto the highway, but lost control and it went off the eastbound shoulder, rolling at least once before coming to rest on its wheels off the highway.
Wahpat and passenger Leon C. Chase, 41, were both injured and taken by ambulance to St. Charles-Madras.
Wahpat later was flown to St. Charles-Bend and Chase was taken there as well. A hospital spokeswoman said both were in fair condition Tuesday evening.
OSP was assisted at the scene by Jefferson County EMS, Jefferson County Rural Fire Department, and Warm Springs Ambulance.
A "roadway departure crash" is defined as a non-intersection crash which occurs after a vehicle crosses an edge line or a center line, or otherwise leaves the traveled portion of the roadway.
Examples include crashing head-on, sideswiping another vehicle, and traveling off the highway and rolling over or colliding with a fixed object.
Information about the grant funding and targeted highways is available at:

Серёжа, Sergey
but sergey, randy oliver's papers are not 'research papers'. these are articles for beekeepers. i find them invaluable because he is able to review and critique the research and present it to me in a form that i can digest and use in a practical way. it is clear to me that randy does not have any agenda other than getting to the truth, and that he is not beholding to any of his many contributors. he makes his living as a beekeeper, but he is uniquely educated and qualified to be a reliable source of information for you and i when it comes to making sense out of the science.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
As previously stated, it is no secret Bayer paid him for some work, been discussed all over the place. No issues there far as I'm concerned. The original post on this was an attempt to insinuate there is something wrong with his actual studies. Is there? Cos I prefer facts to insinuations when it comes to talking about a named persons integrity.
There's also a few things starting to worry me about the anti neonics people and methods. I used to think they were good honest folks, sincere in their beliefs. But I've been seeing knowingly wrong advise being dispensed and a refusal to explain it, character assassination of anyone not towing the line, and borderline lies. IE, dirty tactics, and I don't like it.
Sad, cos me anyway, I'm still very open to being shown that neonics are a major problem and will not let the behaviour of a few stop me having an open mind. But, I need evidence. As a researcher Cerezha you would be the perfect person to find it. Assuming it exists. Keen to see the flaws in Randy's study.

"Thinking Inside The Box"
I already posted my review on Randy's review... it is somewhere buried in the previous posts. It was not welcomed at this forum.
It is all about interpretation and idea that all science evidence needs to be supported by "real" field observations. In another words, for Randy and EPA the observation (not fact) that bees are doing well in "corn belt" is enough to disregard research made by respected scientists and published in peer-reviewed journal... To me, such approach is not acceptable. "Real field" is tricky - it is not controllable and thus, it is practically impossible to do good science in non-controllable conditions. It is possible but a huge statistics is needed. As far as I know, the only one "anti" campaign which uses a "real field" test successfully - it is anti-tobacco campaign, the correlation between smoking and human death. That "field test" was cost of hundreds of thousand lives before acceptance of the simple idea that tobacco is bad. It was known for decades that nicotine is bad, but to prove it in the "real field" - it took decades and hundreds of thousands lives to prove the obvious thing. I remember how people used this argument: "I am smoking for 20 years and I am in perfect health - thus, smoke is harmful!" - "the real field" argument.
The toxicity of neonics will be "re-discovered" after many-many deaths and I wish to see what Randy will write than? Oops, apparently, there was a scientific evidence that neonics are irreversibly bind to the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors, it was known for decades.... but bees were doing well, Ooops
Did I satisfy your curiosity? Take care.

Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
I don't know if the powerful corporation can be turned around. They are certainly not going to give up their power no more than a worthless congressman would. The only thing the little guy has going for him is the "demand" factor in a free economy. Large corporations offer organic foods now when they insisted there was no difference. Seems like there is, even if in their eyes it is only economics.
Jim, what is happening is not sustainable. So when the crash comes be prepared for the bail out on the backs of the middle class ... another depression. Probably it will top the great depression. The difference is the wealthy will not be jumping off the empire state building or any sizable bridge like happened in 39. It will be more like the bank and wall street bail out where the middle class will get screwed. We have a socialistic not a "free" market economy.
"Too big to fail" how dumb can we be?
All empires fall because they can not see the future. The United States of America is surely in a decline. Is it so hard to predict the future?

Re post #189
Well some fair points, I'm going to accept that Cerezha. I did read the previous post you mentioned, but didn't really consider it that valuable because it focussed on critique of basing a paper on research done by others, but Randy is entitled to do that he is collating info into a format to be read by beekeepers, but mainly, he does not just do that, he also does his own work.
Still don't think the study was deliberately skewed or anything, however again, I accept the points you raise, but it's not enough to question the mans integrity.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
"but it's not enough to question the mans integrity" - I am not questioning anybody integrity. But, you need to understand that I DO have my own integrity also - my "integrity" "forced" me to be humiliated on this forum by advocating for truth and science... so weird...
Thank you so much everyone, who supported my efforts.

The Locavore and Organic movements have much potential, but I doubt they have the ability to feed the world as we seem required to do. The Locavore and Organic consumers are largely the "High End", the masses are still eating my nephews chickens...
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
As an independent organic farmer and beekeeper I am very suspicious of industry funded agencies.
- on that note I found this post quite thought provoking:

Home › Forums › Campfire › Pre-Trip Planning › Rocky Mountain NP Route Help
Apr 8, 2013 at 7:17 pm #1301475
I'm thinking of doin a 4 or 5 day cruise through park sometime this summer. Im flexible and looking for suggestions on the date. Flexible on the mileage too, be it 5 or 15 a day, as long as its enjoyable, ya know. I usually prefer a mix.
So anyways, from what i've gathered I was thinkin of starting at Grand Lake, heading over the divide at flattop via the CDT, then head into glacier gorge, come back over the divide and possibly bag a peak somewhere around McHenry's or Alice and return via either the north or east fork. Its going to be my fiance and I, and her limitations are pretty much class 3 with moderate exposure. Before I waste too much more of my time, does such a route even exist? I havent been able to come up very much pertinent info.
The North Circle in GNP is also on the table, so if there isnt an epic adventure to be had in RMNP (10 hrs closer to home), then Montana it is. And I've only got until the 15th to figure it out. Life is so tough. Decisions, decisions… Lol Thanks in advance.
DaveApr 9, 2013 at 10:23 pm #1974741
I used to guide up in the park a bit, and here is a great route to take IMO. We start out of grand lake at the north inlet trailhead and make our way up towards the divide. Once we get past the july campsite we take a turn east and head towards Taylor Peak. This is a great 13er that will give you some amazing views. From here we head across the divide, across flattop, and down the tonahutu trail drainage. This trail takes you out towards trail ridge road, where it would it would be quite easy to hitch a ride back into grand lake. You essentially follow the CDT the whole way.
I would try to hop on getting permits for the campsites early if i were you, they get filled up pretty quick.Apr 10, 2013 at 3:57 pm #1975029
Right on! Is it possible to follow the crest from taylor all the way north to flattop?
As far as campsites I was thinkin first night stay at the main campsite on the lake, 2nd night north inlet junction (stayin lower both nights bcuz it would probably only be my third night at elevation), 4 am start on the 3rd day, 3rd night at either timberline or renegade, get lazy and stay at haynach on the 4th night, then either hike out or if theres another highly recommended spot stay an extra night and do some fishin. How does all that sound?
Or if the scenery on the other side is worth it head down the drainage at andrews pass to the loch and then approach flattop from the east staying at andrews creek (on the loch) on the way?
What week do you think would be best? I was leaning towards early july just because that time of year has always worked out well for me in the past in the area (actually come to think of it I think july is the only time of the year i;ve spent any real time in the colorado backcountry).
Thanks for the help!Apr 10, 2013 at 4:17 pm #1975042
It is possible to traverse the ridge north and I would highly recommend doing so. Great views near sharkstooth, and then i would suggest just traversing to Otis, Hallet, and then down to Flattop. You could descend andrews pass, although its a pretty steep descent so just beware. If you could stay at July instead of north inlet junction i would try too, its one of the more beautiful campsites in the park. Also definitely put hayanach on your list, great fishing and not much traffic through that area. The only other spot I can thing along the loop would be big meadow, theres a nice little trout stream that cuts it in half and i've had a little luck in the area. Also I've probably seen the most wildlife near big meadow if that matters to you or not.
As far as timing goes I would say early july would be perfect, you would be nearly avoiding the height of tourist season also. Need any other info?Apr 10, 2013 at 4:37 pm #1975054
You read my mind. You answered the next 2 or 3 questions I had. Im gonna get some input from the girlfriend when she gets home from work and call for permits tmrw. Thanks a bunch! Looks like an awesome trip!Apr 10, 2013 at 5:09 pm #1975064
Awesome have tons of fun! such a beautiful park glad i could help

This generation is enjoying longer lives and longer periods of retirement than any of its predecessors. But these big changes also create a number of significant challenges, especially to the government's fiscal position through higher costs of state pensions, health and long-term care. This challenge is compounded in the UK (and other advanced economies) by the retirement of the baby-boom generation during the next two decades.
An attractive option to offset part of the fiscal cost of an ageing population is to raise the State Pension Age (SPA), which would both reduce state pension spending and boost tax revenues as some people choose to work longer as a result. This publication sets out the opportunities and challenges presented by extending working lives, together with an agenda of action for government, employers, employee representatives and financial services providers.

The winning word for the 2013 Pine River Backus Spelling Bee is "incoherently"
Pine River-Backus sixth-grader Torry Hirschey claimed victory at the 2013 Pine River-Backus Spelling Bee on Wednesday, Feb. 20. Fellow sixth-grader Noah Brogle claimed second place.
Up until the end, Hirschey and Brogle gave each other fives between words. In round 15, they faced off. Hirschey correctly spelled "monumental," and Brogle responded by correctly spelling "caravan."
In round 16, Hirschey spelled "elaborative" flawlessly, but Brogle dropped the ball by spelling "provincial" with a t — "provintial."
Hirschey advanced to round 17 alone. He needed to spell the word "incoherently" to win the bee. If misspelled, Brogle would rejoin the competition and the bee would enter round 18. But it proved to be the last round as Hirschey successfully spelled the word.
At the start of the bee, eliminations were few and far between, with the first coming in the fourth round with "itself." Then there was one elimination every other round following until round 10, almost an hour into the event. From round 10 on students were eliminated one per round. Rounds 13 and 14 brought multiple eliminations in each round, until round 15, when there were only two.
With the progression of the rounds, words also became more difficult. In the beginning, words like "she" and "off" only posed a danger to those who stumbled over their own words while spelling quickly, as was the case with "itself." Later words, such as "ferocious," "magnificent" and "convention," proved a little more difficult.
The bee consisted of students from four grades. In grade five were students Sara Johnson, Ethan Tulenchik and George Davidson. Grade six was represented by Hirschey, Joseph Merritt and Brogle. Nick Ackerman, Ashley Nordlund and Shaun Jacobsen represented grade seven. Eighth-graders were Joe Davidson (older brother to George Davidson), Autumn Crawford and Troy Staples.
As a reward, Hirschey received a $10 Dairy Queen gift certificate and a one-year subscription to Encyclopedia Brittanica. He will move on to the regional Lakes Spelling Bee in Brainerd on March 20.

What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is the name given to six minerals with long, thin fibers found in rocks and soil, defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Asbestos has been used in hundreds of products, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The mineral has been used in a wide range of manufactured goods, building materials (roofing shingles, siding, ceiling and floor tiles, paper products, and asbestos cement products), friction products (automobile clutch, brake, and transmission parts), heat-resistant fabrics, packaging, gaskets, and coatings. It was used in machinery such as pumps and valves, and it was used in laboratories.
Types of Asbestos
Found around the world, chrysotile comes from serpentinite rocks. It's known as white asbestos and is found in 95 percent of the products made with asbestos in the U.S., according to Authenticated U.S. Government Information. It's most often found in outbuildings, warehouses, and garages.
The other 5 percent of asbestos is amphibole asbestos and includes the fibrous forms of actinolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, amosite (grunerite), and crocidolite (riebeckite). These fibers are straight and needle-like.
Because of its ability to be woven into fabric, the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme states it has been found in:
|Brake pads and clutch plate
|Building products
|Laboratory products
|Gaskets and packing

ReNew Life has made yet another improvement to our best-selling line of Ultimate Flora probiotics. In addition to other features that set us apart such as delayed release capsules and the highest possible potencies, we now package the majority of our Ultimate Flora probiotics in Fresh-Assure blue glass bottles.
Why is glass so great? The major benefit of deep blue glass is that it helps to shield probiotic cultures from potentially damaging light, heat, and moisture. In fact, contrary to popular belief, it's moisture not heat that can affect overall potency and probiotic culture count over time. Because probiotics are live bacteria, their viability depends on proper storage. Keeping probiotics in the refrigerator is the first step, but glass is the ultimate container of choice for keeping moisture out and maximum probiotic potency in.
Another plus to using glass over plastic is that glass is the "greenest" storage option for probiotics yet. Apart from helping to maximize the benefits of these amazing good bacteria, the Fresh-Assure blue glass bottles are reusable and recyclable. It's easy to see why most health food store shoppers prefer glass over any other container.
So whether you need a daily maintenance probiotic or prefer a more potent probiotic for critical needs, take your pick from the Ultimate Flora line of premium probiotic supplements in your health food store's refrigerator. Not only do we have the highest potency available, we're now utilizing the best possible packaging for that extra level of quality more health food store shoppers prefer.

I've been pending since december 7th. I was wondering what the problem was because i heard wait times were 2-3 months but apparently that doubled recently.
I have been pending since the end of October. I called last month and they said they were out a full six months, which puts potential approval in late April. Generally speaking, at what point will someone take a look at my paper work? The wait isn't killing me, it is wondering if there is a problem with the way I filled out the paper work.
I've been pending since december 7th. I was wondering what the problem was because i heard wait times were 2-3 months but apparently that doubled recently.
I've heard if this is Ur 1st stamp for whatever that it can take as long as 5 months
but then after the 1st it moves a little faster & the wait time is cut down
my last 4 for cans & a mg all took 4 to 5 weeks but that was due to my class 3 license
buying up all the guns and ammo i can just to PISS OFF the douche bag liberals
The rumor is there were just 12 people handling all NFA forms, and the main wait was for the FBI to process the fingerprints. Apparently NFA fingerprints are the lowest priority and might take months before the volume drops low enough for them to get put in the que. Several people quit and were not replaced, now down to 8 or 9 people. Also, suppressor demand has apparently spiked, even the manufacturers are back ordered a lot. So the paperwork has increased as well.
Does the type or caliber of weapon ever play into the wait time?
I doubt it, they are approving your purchase or manufacture and type would not matter. About the only time a particular firearm would slow down the process is if they lost their records on it. Been known to happen.
My stamps have all came back within 6 months. One only took 2 months. I think your better off just sending the paper work in and forgeting about it. The stamp will get there, it just takes forever sometimes.
At what point does someone start auditing the paperwork?
so $200 per form and they cant hire more examiners? I'd like to know where that money actually goes.
Just got my stamp today!! Pending on 10/27 and approved 4/17.

Thank You for 30 Inspiring Days of Service
Some incredible stories have come out of our second annual Global Month of Service, a 30-day event that mobilized partners (employees) and customers from around the globe to make a difference in their communities.
In Nashville, Tenn., 500 volunteers collectively donated 2,000 hours of service to transform a tract of land impacted by the city's 2010 floods into a working and teaching urban farm. The new farm will host afterschool youth programs and provide food for citizens in need.
In Vancouver, B.C., 250 volunteers descended upon the Strathcona Community Centre, a hub for inner city youth programs in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, to build pathways, planter boxes, cubicles and storage shelves – achieving in a day what it would have taken the center a year to do without help.
In San Francisco, Calif., a generous resident and local bus fleet owner donated eight vehicles to transport 760 volunteers to five project sites in five districts, where they planted trees, painted over graffiti and cleaned parks and roadways.
And in Shanghai, China, 395 volunteers spent an afternoon refurbishing the Gumei community in the Minhang District and coaching locals on reusing waste materials and organic gardening. "We will grow the plants carefully," said one elderly resident after volunteers constructed a new private garden for him and his wife, "and we hope to eat strawberries that we plant with our own hands."
I too have a story to tell. My daughters and I joined a group of local partners to paint a mural in Seattle's White Center neighborhood, a diverse community where Starbucks has worked in the past to help clean the parks and help reduce crime. It was especially meaningful to watch my daughters work side-by-side with the other volunteers to make a difference in our community.
We all lead busy lives with constant demands on our time. Thank you for carving out time to join Starbucks in service this month. Your contribution has uplifted communities around the world. Let's continue on our service journey together, and build upon the great work that took place in April. Visit community.starbucks.com to join a project in your local neighborhood.

Where I come from we don't feel the need to brag about helping others. We just do it. Question concensus and the dogma that diversity is strength.

The host stayed in touch and was a great help when finding the apartment. The room was nice and clean and the staff was very friendly. Excellent location, plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants in the area. Would stay here again if visiting Berlin :)
People were really nice to us all the time. The apartment is clean and comfortable.It is also near to everything. I would recommend it to my friends without any doubt! Thanks Philipp
Excellent location, near the best area in Berlin for Restaurants and Pubs, close to the underground station and the tram and S train stop. Good base to explore Berlin, it's outside the city center but in a nice neighborhood. The room is spacious, the bathroom is good, clean. The service was ok and we didn´t have any security issue.
To improve: blinders, the room is ground floor and only has a curtain, light enters easily as the Windows are huge. It makes you feel you are very "exposed" when you are in the room, I would include something on the windows to ensure privacy. The mattress is not very good, something that can be improved easily.
For the rest, we had a very nice stay in Berlin. Thanks Phillip!

text: Peltier Chevrolet cannot be trusted and has lost my business forever. I received a sales add from the dealership regarding "Authorized Vehicle BuyBack Notice". The add went on to say that Peltier has been authorized by GM to buyback GM vehicles at Original Base MSRP for Trade-in of a new GM vehicle. Quote in the fine print " less 15cents per mile, less reconditioning, less excessive wear/Tear. So i call the dealership Friday and verified the sale is still going on, and i told the sales lady what i was wanting to trade in, ect.. She verified that sale was exactly as i read and that its going on through Monday. So i packup and drove 200miles to this dealership with the family Saturday. When i arrive at the dealership i snooped around the lot for a bit and found a truck i liked ( 2500 4x4 Duramax ) and set off to find "Fedilia" my sales lady. I ask her to take a look at my trade-in ( perfect condition, 5000miles on the ODO, Base MSRP $30,065 ). She comes back 15min later and says she would offer me $17,000 for my truck. :no: I pull out the sales add and tell her i want this deal, she says the $17k is the best she will do. So i ask to speak to her sales manager to find the reasoning. The sales manager comes out "Corey" and tells me that there is no way he is going to pay me what i want because i only financed 22k on the truck when i bought it. I told the guy that i dont appreciate him looking up my personal information, and that regardless of what i paid for my truck that it does not effect the value of my trade-in, and why was he not honoring his Advertisement. I showed him my factory base MRSP on my window sticker, and quoted his ad to him, he said it could mean anything, and that i could take the deal or leave it, then he turned around and left. At this point i was completely livid. These jack-asses sent out false advertisement, I called and confirmed the advertisement, then drove 200miles to the dealership just to be told they dont have to honor the deal. Then be treated like an idiot by their sales manager telling me "Factory Base MSRP" could mean anything! Buyer Beware!:grrrrrr:

How to work with Govt Agencies?
I would like to discuss and get the vaulable opinion of all members on the subject. The reason for this post is due to the recent experience I had with our local Govt agencies. Two days back, the local police officials approached me for finding out the originator of an anonymous email that contained some serious issues. We worked together as a team, and found out the guy within 24-48 hours. I played a major role in the issue. However, when the final moment came for press release, the whole credit went to the police officials and there was not even a single statement mentioning about the support from us.
Does this happen everywhere? Does any one have any similar experience? What are the things that has to be taken into consideration while working for or working with a Govt Agency?

Capulin Volcano
National Monument
New Mexico
The Mountain Tells Its Story
Just yesterday, on the clock of geological time, the scene near Capulin would have been one of fire, ash, glowing lava, and ear-shattering explosions, for Capulin Mountain is the cone of a volcano that was active only about 62,000 years ago. This cinder cone represents the last stage of a great period of volcanism that had begun about eight million years earlier. Evidence of this activity can be seen in the scores of nearby volcanic hills and peaks. The largest of these is the Sierra Grande, an extinct volcano rising some 2,200 feet above the surrounding plain, about 10 miles to the southeast. To the northwest of Capulin are a number of mesas that are capped with lava, the three largest of which are Barella, Raton, and Johnson mesas.
In the great volcanic area, called the Raton-Clayton volcanic field, volcanism occurred in three main episodes, separated by long periods of inactivity. Capulin Volcano formed during the last period of activity. Its conical form rises more than 1,300 feet above the plains to 8,182 feet above sea level. The mountain consists chiefly of loose cinders, ash, and other rock debris. These materials were spewed out by successive eruptions and fell back upon the vent, piling up to form the conical mound.
The symmetry of Capulin Mountain was preserved because lava did not flow from the main crater but from secondary vents located at the western base of the cone. After the eruptions ceased, vegetation gained a foothold on the steep, unstable slopes, and in time, the mountain became stabilized as the dense root growth and the forces of nature changed the volcanic matter into soil.
Capulin Volcano has been inactive for a long enough period that it is unlikely it will erupt again. Basalt volcanic fields typically form a new cinder cone with each eruption. Thus, although Capulin itself may never erupt again, the formation of a new cinder cone in the Raton-Clayton volcanic field is probable sometime in the distant future. An eruption near Capulin in our lifetimes is very unlikely, but not impossible.
A Walk into a Volcano
Have you ever wanted to walk into a volcano? Well, Capulin Volcano is one of the few places in the world where you can do that. A 3-kilometer (2-mile) road spirals to the summit, ending at a parking area, where two self-guiding trails begin. One trail, 0.3 kilometers (0.2 miles) long, goes down to the bottom of the crater to the vent and gives you an unusual opportunity to see the inside of a volcanic mountain. The second is the Crater Rim Trail, 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) long, a self-guiding path that follows the rim all the way around. The trail begins with a moderate climb, but once on the rim you will find the going fairly easy until you begin the descent to the parking lot. From the trail, you can also look out over the land through which the "Cimarron Cut-Off" of the Santa Fe Trail passed. During the late-19th century, wagon trains bound for Fort Union traveled this route. The view westward is particularly magnificent. The majestic, snowcapped peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains form a mighty backdrop to the wide expanse of rangeland, broken by volcanic hills and mesas. Be sure to hike both trails. It's not often that you can walk so brazenly in a volcano.
Near Capulin volcano is the famous Folsom archaeological site, located on private land and closed to the public. This is where artifacts of prehistoric humans were first found in association with the fossilized bones of extinct animals. The site was excavated in 1928 and 1929 by the Denver Museum of Natural History.
Four Lava Flows
Capulin Volcano eruptions produced two types of volcanic products:
- cinders (frothy volcanic rock chunks), and
- lava flows

We had a lovely stay with our 3&5-years old daughters (play ground is just around the corner). The apartament is nice and cosy, with comfortable livingroom. It is very close to the metro station and walking distance from Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. Owner was very helpful.
Nice and clean apartment in a quiet area with almost no traffic during the nights. From the apartment it is less than 5 min to walk to get to the metro and 10min with the metro to the historic districts of BCN.
We are happy we chose this apartment! Cynthia was a very friendly and very competent problem solver. In the beginning the internet, the DVD player and the coffee machine did not work - so she sent Mathias to buy new appliances! And he even repaired the TV set (the wire for cable TV was broken). Plus he gave us very valuable tips for restaurants and for sightseeing – we tried almost all of them and had some pleasurable experiences.
The apartment is in a neighborhood that is rather quiet between 10 pm and 7 am. Behind the house there is a community center with a large terrace and a great view. If you are looking for a big supermarket, go to Plaça Maragall and follow the Carrer d'Olesa, then you see it on the right (within walking distance, about 10 minutes).
The apartment description probably has been changed now: The roof terrace that was mentioned there is not accessible for guests any more.
One little tip: There are no hooks or bars on the walls, neither in the kitchen nor in the bathroom, so if you want to hang anything on the walls, bring suction hooks.
The apartment was very central and there were different local shops, including a bar, within 100meter of it. There were fresh towels and even an extra madras if the best wasn't confortable enough. The metro station was a 2 min. walks from there so it was easy to get around.
Overall the apartment was nice held apartment to a very fair price! If I had to find something they could better then it, then it would be that the remote controls did not work and shower maybe needs a curtain, so the bathroom floor doesn't get so easyly wet. Apart from that I would highly recommend the place!
If you are not only interested in the Ramblas but want to see more of the local life in Barcelona then this is an excellent place to stay near de Ronda de Guinardo. It is quit and you have a subway around the corner who brings you to the centre of Barcelona. Behind the appartment is a cultural centre on which they are building right now with a bar called Mas Guinardo, they have a splendid teracce with an paranomic view over Barcelona. go to place Maraquelle , very nearby and eat in
cerveceria where spanisch people are waiting in line to get a table to eat this wonderful food. The appartment is well equipped , clean and comfortable. the only thing I would like is another better bed when you visit this place with 4 people like we did. the couch however is wonderfull to rest after sunny Barcelona.
Thank you for a wonderful stay in the apartment and thanks
to Cyntia for your warm welcome and all your help... hope to return ..
The good points :
The flat is close to the yellow metro line, clean, comfortable and quiet enough.
The very bad point :
The whole building is unsafe because of electricity. Not connected to the earth ! we have felt electricity using the washing machine and the micro-wave oven. The problem is known by the owner but nothing is done.
The advice : if you don't like electroschocks, don't rent this flat!
The apartment itself was wonderfully equipped and a lovely place to relax. Truly feels lived in with an extensive collection of entertainment and amenities. Also our dealings with the staff were easy as they spoke perfect English and were extremely polite and friendly.
On the downside we found the WIFI a little too slow for use and ended up having to use our mobiles, also the apartment's distance from the centre means we probably would not look at this area again, however, if you don't mind a half an hour walk and subway ride to town then I would recommend this apartment to anyone.

The Beretta PX4 .40 cal has a problem with trigger sting according to some. I have a PX4 in 9mm and have never experienced trigger sting.
The following is from Beretta's website:
"Trigger sting or trigger slap is a phenomena that may affect virtually any firearm given the right set of circumstances: fit of the firearm to the shooter's hand; physical characteristics of the shooter's hand; how a particular shooter holds the firearm and how that affects harmonic vibrations; and a phenomena, documented by high speed photography, referred to as a secondary trigger pull; and timing; all enter into the equation.
We have done extensive testing on pistols, for example, including where a particular pistol documented as causing one particular shooter "trigger sting", has been fired under the same controlled circumstances by other shooters. These other shooters did not suffer this phenomena.
A Google search of "trigger slap" and similar terms will bring to light that this is common phenomena that affects, as indicated, virtually any firearm given the right set of circumstances. And there are just as many theories as to how to "cure" the phenomena. "
