Feb 12, 2012 at 5:40 am #1285560
Hi, I'm a new BPL forum user, and a UK resident.
I travel to the US for hiking fairly often. I've day hiked Whitney, Grand Canyon Rim-to-rim, and Zion Narrows top down, among others. I hope, this year, to do the John Muir Trail, but… and it's a BIG but, I have done no overnight hiking before.
I have camped out at festivals, and when I've been mountain biking in the UK national parks – but never for more than a couple nights.
I'm favouring a lightweight approach and not planning to cook on the trail. But I'm not sure what's best to pack for nutrition. Based on my Whitney performance, and other endurance hikes I have done, I think I can do it in 11 days. Though I would probably stay a day at Vermilllion Ranch to enjoy the hot food and showers. So I would only be doing 5 days at a time – so a variety of energy/protein bars would do fine, I suspect.
I'm planning to use an eVent hooped Bivvi.
I heard solitude is one of the biggest challenges to solo hikers – and I see the point. Late August, sun goes down around 19:30 and rises at 06:30 – I'd hit the trail as soon as the sun rose, and hike until it sets. But I only sleep around 6 1/2 hours a night. What do lone-hikers do for the rest of the time. Travelling light means I won't be packing books nor enough batteries to have light to read them by. No power mean no iPad.
Any advice or pointers would be appreciated.Feb 12, 2012 at 6:21 am #1838302

There will be plenty of folks on the JMT in late August. So you will have solitude only if you want it. I also don't think you will have much "extra" time. You are planning a pretty fast pace and I suspect that it will take you more hours to hike this distance than you are expecting due to the altitude. Also, you can not compare day hiking speed to multi-day speed since you have many more "chores" to do that are not needed when out for only a day. And new issues like blisters will be more of a problem.
I know others may disagree but I would bypass VVR. It is a time and money sucker. I would use MTR since it is much quicker access and it is a day further south, reducing your heaviest carry by a day. (I have used both and would use MTR if doing the JMT again.)Feb 12, 2012 at 7:24 am #1838313
As Greg mentions altitude might affect you; it certainly hit me quite hard coming from the UK (vexingly my better half was fine ;-) and slowed me down – but then I was also packing quite a lot for two.
VVR was OK but I too would go for an alternative; I'd nip into Mammoth, but then I'm a 'luxury' hiker. A UK guy I know did the trail in August and did not sort resupply as he was too late in arrangement; but found plenty in the Muir Ranch bins (possibly not a perfect strategy though).
You'll need a nice bearcan too.Feb 12, 2012 at 8:34 am #1838338
Appreciate the insights. I'm not too worried about Altitude, I've been to 18,500ft (summit of Elbrus) and summit of Whitney before and managed OK – nothing more than a manageable headache. And heading North to South (as I hope to) means Mather, Pinchot and Forrester passes give me opportunities to acclimatise.
Time wise Whitney took me 9hr 27min http://connect.garmin.com/activity/12475943 to cover what my GPS said was 20.4 miles. I'll be aiming at an average 20 miles a day on JMT and while I'm guessing some days might be quite hard – none should be as hard as Whitney was.
By solitude, I wasn't meaning while hiking, but after lights out. I plan to walk hard all day, and stop at the best place I see after 18:00 each evening, rather than have set targets in mind. But since I plan to graze on food all day long, rather than have a big evening meal, and since I do not plan to cook – I'm not sure what chores I'll have beyond washing and dressing, making a breaking camp. I'm guessing once it goes dark, I'll be bored, and maybe a little scared.
But I realise I'm a noob, and many of my assumptions will be wrong. I can live with a little tedium, I just don't want to make mistakes that will cost me.
As for VVR/MTR, I read that MTR "suggest that you arrive at Florence Lake before noon on your arrival day to allow for the time it takes to ride the ferry and hike in to the ranch." which seems more of a time suck than VVR, since that has a ferry at 16:45. As for nipping in to Mammoth (where I have spent good times snowboarding in the past) how does one arrange transport to do that? And where from?
I realise the choice of bear canister is going to be an important one. We can't buy or even view these things in the UK, so this is going to be a difficult choice. A guy on here reckons he does the whole thing using a Bare Boxer 101, and I'm hoping to do the same – using Mainstay, Nuts/seeds, Protein Bars.

You could hire a Bearikade Weekender (should be fine for you) can-wise.
You can get a shuttle into Mammoth from Red's Meadows.
I backpack solo all the time; and don't find it tedious – you'll find a routine that suits you I'm sure.Feb 12, 2012 at 9:23 am #1838357

Re: Cooking- Have you ever gone a week without hot food or drink? Personally I'd have no big problem skipping hot food but hot drinks are another story.
Re: Muir Trail Ranch access- The quoted info sounds like it is referring to access from the road, not the JMT. From the trail MTR is less than 1 mile total detour and almost no extra climb. No lake, no ferry.
Re: the long nights- Morning and evening twilight are fairly extensive. If you hike whenever there's enough light I'm pretty sure you will sleep well!Feb 12, 2012 at 10:07 am #1838376

Ed is correct about the shuttle at Mammoth….there are designated stops that a bus goes to. The bus does a loop and will drop you off in townFeb 12, 2012 at 10:47 am #1838388
Jim, I doubt I've ever gone a week without a hot meal, but I'm a fairly stoic eater – I don't mind hardship if I know it's gonna end at some point. I usually drink milk, juice and soda, so the lack of a hot drink won't be a problem. I'll take Nuun to flavour my water. I would be happy to drop a few pounds on the trail – just don't want to impact my stamina and strength.
BPL user Jo Bernier tells me I can eat at Yosemite, Toulumne, Red's Meadow, VVR, MTR after which it should be 'just' five days to Whitney Portal, and one of Doug's awesome bacon cheeseburgers. I'm beginning to think this is doable.
Ed, Hiring never occurred to me – seems like the perfect solution – Many thanks!Feb 12, 2012 at 12:07 pm #1838417

A good LED headlamp will run 100 hours on one set of batteries. Thats more than enough for some night reading or some night hiking if you want. I have a Pprincton Tech Fuel and with 1.5V lithium batteries weighs 2.5oz and will go 120 on full (I use medium most of the time). You probably can find something a little lighter.
So with that much light available on one set of batteries I would bring a book. Note an Ipad with its LCD display is not very battery efficient. An E book with Eink display will go 11 days no problem on a single charge. I have a kindle and if I turn off the wireless it will go 2 weeks no problem on a single charge. However at 8oz it might be too heavy for some.Feb 12, 2012 at 1:38 pm #1838458

A couple of things:
1) As indicated above MTR is only about a half mile out of the way. There is also a hot spring across the river that will feel real good at that point in your trip.
2) You can get by LEGALLY with a bare boxer if you can fit your first couple days of food into the canister in Yosemite. After either MTR or VVR you can use a combination of canister and hang until you cross Pinchot Pass. Then you will need to have your food in a canister to be legal.
3) Your post seems to be defending that you are capable of doing the JMT in your timeframe. I wasn't questioning your ability to that. My only point was that it will take you longer to hike each day than you think, I have hiked the JMT on about the same timing. Even after doing the PCT I still can't do the daily mileage on a long hike that I can day-hiking. I can day-hike 3mph+ all day long on a day hike but it is VERY tough for me to do this day after day on multi-day hikes. Why? Daily chores etc. You will have to get your days food squared away, water refills, blister maintenance and foot care, gear repairs, stream crossings, bear hangs, sunscreen, insect repellent, clothing changout, rest breaks, setup and tear down will eat time especially as you learn how to get along with your bear canister. The last thing that I would be worrying about is having too much time on your hands. And there is no better place to have extra time than the JMT.
4) I have a nice spreadsheet that is very useful for planning the JMT. It has the mileage of most important point and elevation gain. If you are interested PM me your email and I'll send it to you.
5) There is bus that goes from Red's Meadow to Mammoth. If you are looking for a cheap motel the Motel 6 has a PCT rate and it's close to everything.
6) Food, you will want primarily carbs while you are hiking and a good dose of protein for recovery. And be careful with the foods you take. Altitude has a way of making food taste yucky especially during a hot day of hard hiking. I would also look into taking some electrolytes. I had bad cramping on the JMT prior to learning about them.Feb 12, 2012 at 3:59 pm #1838523

When I planned my first big solo hike the thought of being alone didnt even cross my mind really…..until the day of on my way to get my permit. As soon as I set foot on the trail, i forgot all about that. Now i prefer solo.Feb 14, 2012 at 3:31 am #1839210
Guys, thanks to you all for the pointers. A lot to consider, and a lot of useful information.
When is the best time to hike? I notice is that MTR only accepts short stay visitors on certain dates, and 30/31st of August and 1st and 7-9th September are not included. I'm planning to head south from Yosemite – And begin walking on a Monday. 27th August. So I'd probably not hit those blackout days. But even if I do, Mammoth, VVR and Red's Meadow offer plenty of alternatives.
One last thing (for now) – does anyone have any tips on obtaining permits?
Thanks and regards
MarcusFeb 14, 2012 at 5:34 am #1839228
We queued up very early for a permit at the Yos Ranger Station; about 04:00 and we were not the first there. About 10 there by the time the station opened – but everyone else wanted half-Dome permits, no one wanted the JMT.
Perhaps that was a one-off; but met a few on trail who had done a similar thing.Feb 14, 2012 at 6:40 am #1839253
Ed, I'm flying from the UK specifically to do hike the JMT. So before i book plane tickets, hotels, rent a car etc. I would prefer to get permits arranged if possible. I'll queue (wait in line) if I must, but it would be a bummer to fly 5,000 miles to find I can't hike the JMT.
I have the fax application form, which enables me to apply 165 days before amy planned hike – that's about three weeks from now. But I wondered if there were any tips to improve my chances of successfully getting a permit. Entry trailheads, days of the week, or even dates that increase the chance of success.

I thought the same about the JMT in the "man I hope driving up here wasn't for nothing" about getting a permit. I went at the height of busy season'ish, late July/early August. I didn't have a permit. What I did was "camp out" in front of the happy isles permit office. I was the only one there, no one showed up until 6pm, which was a group of 3 hikers. Then around am 3 more showed, then another group. At 11 or 12, which is when they let out permits, the ranger had one permit for same day JMT hikers. Everyone in line before 10a.m. got a next day JMT permit. So what my advice is, having done this last year, is that you're making a huge mistake if you feel like you need to call it off for not having gotten a permit. The crappy part being you may have to show up, wait until morning, then get a next day permit. You'll have lost two days, but you WILL get to go, especially if you show up at the permit office at 5am or something. For the night you actually obtain said permit, they allow you to stay at the backpackers campground, which is $5, woohoo!
I went last year and plan to go this year, please feel free to PM me with ANY questions you may have. Last year was my first thru-hike, this year I plan to do two.Feb 15, 2012 at 8:40 am #1839777

You will get a permit, especially if you're alone. I've done it both in Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne and was the only one in line before about 5:30 in the morning. I arrived at 4:00 am to be sure. Both times we actually got same day permits.Feb 15, 2012 at 9:18 am #1839796

To get a same day or next day permit for a HI start, do you queue at the HI trailhead, or the Wilderness Centre Permit Office?. If the trailhead, exactly where is the "hut"?

text: I care how they play in pads, on Sunday; not about a bunch of scores they get on combine workouts. Athletes "see their stock rise" at the combines, while a lot of good football players "have a bad combine". I want to see a guy drafted early who's played against some of the best in the NCAA and shined against them, on the field. I think there's some good DT who fit that bill that should still be there. If a really good player drops to us, like Fleener, then I think you have to take him. I'm sure Jerry Reese will keep an eye out for unexpected guys dropping down; that's how we got Prince; but if they're not there, they know who they want already. My bet is DT Still.

Possible zoning changes in Cedar Point raise concerns
CEDAR POINT, CARTERET COUNTY - A proposal to change the zoning law of one Carteret County town has some residents worried.
Those who live in Magens Bay, a gated community in Cedar Point, said they are concerned that recently-proposed zoning changes could bring hotels or motels nearby, which would hurt property values.
Cedar Point officials said the planning board approved a proposal for zoning changes in February. The plan calls for a change in text to the zoning laws, which would allow a portion of land adjacent to the neighborhood to be zoned commercially, allowing hotels and motels.
That land is already zoned commercially, but hotels and motels are not permitted in the area.
The new plan on the zoning changes won't take effect unless commissioners accept it.
Ed McDonald has been living in Magens Bay since 1995. He said he's worried that the area could be developed to have tall buildings, which could have a clear view into his neighborhood. McDonald said those in his community value their privacy.
"I think the developer appeared before the planning board in their last meeting, and went down from four stories to three stories," McDonald said. "Still, that's taller than what we would like to see. People looking down into our backyards."
"We understand that it would be developed, but we would just like to see it developed under the guidelines of the [current] zoning," McDonald added.

North Tahoe baseball | Lakers fall to Railroaders
March 26, 2013
The North Tahoe baseball team ran into some quality competition at Division I-A Sparks its opening Mount Rose League doubleheader Saturday.
The Railroaders edged the Lakers 3-1 in Game 1 of the twin bill before cruising to a 10-0 win in the second contest.
The first game was a old-fashioned pitchers' duel between North Tahoe senior Colin Spencer and Sparks senior Jared Longland. Both teams scored a run in the second inning, while Sparks scratched across two more in the third as Longland settled in.
The senior held North Tahoe to just three hits in the contest while striking out 11 in a complete game. Spencer allowed only four hits and struck out six.
"Colin threw well," said North Tahoe coach Matt Drury. "We just didn't hit the ball and didn't get timely hitting. We had a couple situations where we had guys on but just couldn't drive them in."
Spencer had two hits and Lucas Likes and Shane Christian each had one. Kieffer Putman led the Railroaders with two doubles.
In Game 2, Sparks scored four runs in the second inning, one in the third and five more in the fourth to end the game after five innings on the 10-run rule.
The Lakers mustered only three hits off of Putman, who started and pitched all but one out of the shortened game. Sophomore Mitchell Myers started for the Lakers and didn't throw badly, Drury said, but his team committed seven errors behind him, including five in the fourth inning alone.
"The second game we fell apart defensively, and we didn't hit. It was a pretty tough combination," Drury said. "It was as poor of a defensive game as we've played in a long time. We looked like a team that's been practicing inside. But Sparks is a good team. They had two really strong pitchers, and we just weren't ready for it."
The Lakers fell to 4-5 overall and 0-2 in Mount Rose League play. Sparks improved to 6-2 overall and 2-0 in league.
The North Tahoe softball team, meanwhile, dropped both games of its doubleheader at Sparks.
North Tahoe is scheduled to play crossover games against White Pine, West Wendover and Battle Mountain of the Ruby Mountain League on Friday and Saturday.

Happy Spring all!
Last year I 'tried' to help a neighbor with bees in his fence (actually the area below his fence) and did not put a trap out on it as I was busy learning, catching swarms and trying easier trap outs. Before I got to his area he told me the bees were gone. I told him to open up the area, clean it out and seal it up really well or the bees would be back. Of course he did not listen to me and guess what? His wife just emailed to me to please get rid of their bees because they are back!
Ha, ha....maybe, just maybe this year I will be able to make a trap out that works! My others did not; not because of the design but because of user error (me)! Of course if I trap out the bees what do I do with them since they are so close to my house?

Sausie salad
Barbecue, sausage, salad. But when you can't face one more snarler in white bread and a toss of lettuce salad, ring the changes. Cook sausages (preferably good spicy butcher-made ones), chop them and toss back on the hot plate with sliced onions and cherry tomatoes. Add a dash of mustard, and spoon the mix over lettuce, cucumber and avocado, dressed with vinegar. You can add other grilled vegetables too (carrots, mushrooms, peppers). Then, as they come into season, grill with chopped apples, toss over mixed greens and rocket, and top with blue cheese, pecans or walnuts, and a lemony dressing.
Taco time
It may not be authentic Mexicano, but sausages, especially spicy thin ones, make easy taco fillings. Pile cooked sausage into a tortilla, top with salsa (or cooked corn sliced off the cob), avocado, grated cheese, chopped lettuce and tomatoes.
Slide sausage meat out of the skins (this only works with proper sausages, not the pre-cooked sort), form into patties and grill, then pile on burger buns with a good ketchup, mustard, pickles, beetroot, grated carrots. A great way to add vegetables to a barbecue fry-up. Or grill peppers, eggplant, tomato slices and pile on sliced ciabatta (this is messy, so you'll need a plate and plenty of napkins).

Time and again his puzzled pals—from the smallest chameleon to the tallest giraffe—shrug and cuddle with their jungle mothers. As the lonely chimp's plea escalates, his friends grow concerned. Can the elephants lead Bobo to his heart's desire?

Andre Brown has got a ring
This thread is way too complicated. Flacco and Eli are very good QB's but neither are better than Brady.
RGIII and Kaepernick are up and coming stars who are exciting to watch, but need to perform consistently over a long period of time before they can be compared to the true greats.
Joe Flacco is exactly what any team would want in their quarterback. Routinely wins games, and gets better every year. The Ravens better lock him up for 6 - 7 years, because they have never had a quarterback like him.
I doubt the Ravens care if Joe Flacco is better than Tom Brady or any other quarterback for that matter. They just want the greatest quarterback for their team. They've found him.
Flacco is much more clutch, but we have to see more of this during the regular season to say he's better than Brady. I certainly believe it's a lot closer than what most people think.
No. But I think he is starting to make the argument for Top 5 Elite or definitely Top 10 !!!

Blogs are exploding with reports of meaty cocktails on the menu. I'm not going to lie – my first reaction is "ewwww." I want bacon with my morning OJ, not in it.
But then I let it simmer a little (sorry, it was one of the only puns not taken), and thought about the savory drinkables that have been around for a while. There is, of course, the Bloody Mary, with its sweet, spicy and savory components. Then there is the age-old Chelada cocktail that uses Clamato juice – a product that has always made me run away (but then again, I don't exactly like clams). And recently, modern bartenders (a.k.a. bar chefs or mixologists) have reverted to hand-crafted cocktails from real fruit, herbs and spices, rather than relying on mixes (admittedly moreso in higher-end establishments and independents).
Considering these elements makes the savory cocktail seem like a no-brainer – so why the buzz? Oh, maybe it's the term "fat-washing" that has us talking. Mixologists are adding fat (as in, bacon fat) to whiskey, popping it in the freezer, then cutting out the solidified fat. Bacon flavor infused – greasy fat in the trash.
And ok, I'll admit it. With the extreme love for bacon I see on a daily basis, and the versatility we've been opened up to in the past few years, maybe this could work. After all, bacon is amazing in chocolate, so why not in my chocolate martini?
But how about salmon-flavored vodka? Now you're cringing, right? Yes sir, one distiller has added a salmon flavor to their line-up. I'm all for shaking things up, but…
So, the question remains – is this a growing trend, or just a fad? Well, the thing about a fad is that most of the time, it has some basis in a functional long-term trend. Take leg warmers for instance – a fashion fad, but not for those in the dancing world. And in food, fads may fizzle, but they tend to stick around in one way or another. In other words, while the liquor store of the future may not stock the makings for a Philly cheesesteak cocktail, what we are seeing is a slow move away from overly sweet, candy-coated cocktails. We're scaling back the sweet for a more balanced drink, be it savory, fruity or otherwise.
There are elements in the meaty drink craze that are shaping the future of drink. And focusing on those nuances, the driving forces, will help us determine future flavors for this category. Just please, don't let it be salmon…

text: Tubac is worth a visit if you're staying in the Tucson area. It is one of the oldest settlements in Arizona. Early inhabitants were the Pima and O'odham Indian tribes, and the first Spanish missionary arrived in 1691 to establish a mission and ranch. During the 1800's it was abandoned at times because of Apache raids but flourished at other times. It is now a thriving town of artists, artisans, and importers, a wonderful place to shop as well as visit the old Presidio. Visit their website for information about festivals, art shows, and other local happenings. Located about an hour south of Tucson, our Hacienda guests often shop there for Mexican imports.

Arsène Wenger admits he is a long-term admirer of new signing Mikel Arteta.
The Spanish midfielder became Arsenal's final acquisition of a busy transfer window when he joined from Everton on transfer deadline day and could make his debut against Swansea at the weekend.
Arteta has always had the exemplary technical attributes Wenger demands from his players and has been linked with a move to Emirates Stadium in the past. The manager revealed on Friday that the 29-year-old has been on his radar for a while.
"Yes, for a long time," he said. "I've known him since he played for Paris Saint-Germain.
"He is one of these players who never had the luck in his career to be completely playing in a consistent way in the Champions League. You feel, if he has that opportunity, he can show how good a player he is.
"I think he had the Spanish qualities but because he has played for a long time in England I'm quite amazed how strong he is in the challenge as well.
"He had a good education in Scotland so he is strong in the challenges."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Nation, Feb 28, 2013.
Per Archer on Twitter
I wouldn't expect him to go anywhere else.
Reliable, cheap, why look elsewhere?
you will have some gomers saying we could have saved a few bucks and tried a rookie or something. REALLY DUMB GOMERS.
Good move, the guy is excellent at his job
Nick Eatman @nickeatman
LP Ladoucuer has officially signed 5yr deal .. Deal is worth around $4 million as total package
Good move. Long snappers are no big deal until you don't have one and life is miserable.
Great, that's less than 1 million a year, which leaves me to wonder which poster on this site is about to post a new thread titled "Romo should take LP Ladoucuer's lead". :laugh2:
Take a blood pressure pill there Sgt. Carter. :
I'm raising my kids to learn how to long-snap. Man, that's an underrated job. $4M/year to mostly watch Cowboy games from one of the best seats in the house.
I get your point anyway.
Yeah except that it isn't 4M a year buddy.. What are you smoking? He will make that much if he sees all 5 years
Nice move
Typo. $4M to watch the Cowboys for 5 years. Good gig.
He got robbed. Probably the best long snapper in the game, for years.
How do you judge whether someone is the best at that position?
Clearly LP is good, but how do you determine the quality of others skillset at the position?
.....Unless you were just joking.
Could be the best offseason move the team makes this year.
He just doesn't screw up.
I think they measure LS performance in terms of the number of 'bad snaps' over a course of years. Though I have no idea how the quantify a bad snap. The stat you always hear on LP is that he hasn't had a bad snap since 2000-and-forever.
What Hoof said. He just doesn't screw up. To me he has proved his worth and his being a top flight long snapper. I'll leave it to the PFF guys to rate where he stands among all the long snappers, okay?
The guy in my signature is not a happy Camper right now

as to your question, upper entrance has little effect in an indoor wintering set up. My comment was more towards the outdoor wintering arrangement. It provides natural convection to help reduce moisture also provides them an entrance during periods when the lower entrance is blocked with snow and ice.
But throughout the production season , I see more bees using the bottom entrance than the top.
But then again, my hives are full of cracks and holes, so really who knows, right?


text: I searched the "How To Guide" and this forum with no luck on finding instructions on how to remove the door pins from the rear Barn Doors. I have so far used a drift puch and BFH and the pin wont come out. I also used a big C clamp with a socket thats wider than the top of the pin and it still wont come out. The spare door is on a saw horse trying all of this and I still cant get the pins out. Anyone have a link or suggestions to get these door pins out? Thanks for your time, Steve

Hope this pic is uploaded correctly. Eight wide mouth jars and four narrow mouth bottles were mounted on/in a 3/4 inch piece of plywood and fitted on top of a single deep and three standard supers. the jars were covered with a empty super box and a flat top. The hive was augmented by removing an adjacent hive allowing the field bees to drift into the jar hive packing it pretty good. This was in late spring. Recently I have started taking the jars. The jars have a single 1 x 4 inch strip of foundation glued to the jar bottom as a starter strip hanging in the jar.
The bees came this spring from BWeaver, The extra field bees are from HoneyBee Genetics (Old Taber bees).

Call Foothill College School of Dental Hygiene if its a non-emergency problem.
University of California, I think, has a dental school in San Francisco. It should be open. Free or reduced fees. University of the Pacific may also have a dental school there.
Please note that MOST American retirees do NOT have dental insurance. If you can find a free or low cost dentist, please tell the rest of us.

I'm not much for New Year's Resolutions. I've tried in the past (like saying I'd start writing in my books) but I have nothing as planned out as fellow GeekDad Jim Kelly. I suppose for me I feel like calendar dates are somewhat arbitrary and I'm not tied to the idea of changing habits based on them. But for me, 2013 will be bringing some big changes — most significantly, a new baby girl due to arrive in the spring — so I suppose it's appropriate to consider a few things that will need to happen before then.
Aside from rearranging our house (the baby gets my office, the kids go into the attic room, our den moves into the kids' room, my office goes to the dining room/library), my biggest goal is to work through my backlog of books and board games to review (before my return to the world of diapers and bottles). Hey, it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. Part of that will be deciding which books, in the end, aren't worth reviewing at all. Others I've enjoyed reading but don't have an entire post's worth to say about it.
So, to follow up my picture book round-up last month, I give you another edition of Stack Overflow. This time, I focus on comics — some for kids, some for adults, but all good reads. Continue Reading "Stack Overflow: Comics and Graphic Novels" »

Another baguette with a couple of glasses of steaming hot Laos Bolivan coffee for breakfast and I am ready to face the world - or Laos and Thai immigration at least. Back to the room for a shower and change before checking out at about 9:30. Take a tuk-tuk - or Skylab as they call them here - to the bus station where we are just in time for the 9:40 departure International Bus.
There are no problems today on either side of the bridge and by 10:30 we have arrived at Mukdahan bus station.
We sit to wait for the 12:15 Pink Bus unless we can scrounge our way onto one of the earlier Bangkok bound buses. These do not like to sell tickets for short journeys as there is obviously more money for them if they can fill up with Bangkok bound passengers
Leave Mukdahan at 12
;15 and arrive back in Phon Thong just before 14:00 getting dropped off right outside the house where weleft the bike. I now notice that they have other cars with easy numberplates; '2222', '7777', '9999' and a motorbike with '111'.
We stop at the 7/11 for some bread and milk then bike back to Khamnadie for a welcome cup of tea and piece of cake before retiring to the garden for a doze.
The night before we left here the mains water stopped and it has not returned since. By all accounts we will have no more mains water until the rains come in four or five months time - if they come this year ! In the meantime people are trying to use the old handpumps that are dotted around the village. Welcome back to village life.

I have 2 of the Romanian drums, both styles. The Chinese style stays in the safe loaded and ready to go, just 4 cranks and it's ready. The other I don't keep loaded. The Chinese style has the advantage you can keep it loaded and the spring not under tension, not so with the top load one. The top load one is better quality though, but I've had no issues with either one. I got them both from Copes,, great folks there!!! Just remember that there 5.5 lbs when loaded!! PHEWW!!! Wouldn't want to haul that around all day! There a blast though if you want to play. 2 Of my friends have the Korean ones and both don't have all that much good to say about them, I gather they tend to jam some,,duno for sure,, just hear say.
The top load one is a bit of a pain to load till you get the knack down, but not really to bad when you master it. There is a knack to it, and it takes some practice to get it loaded with-in a month of Sundays till you get it right!!
I like both of mine , no issues at all.

Welcome to the Budget homepage of the United States Department of Education (ED). Here you'll find a wealth of information about the President's FY 2017 Budget Request for ED, including a program-by-program description of the request. In Budget News, we track Congressional action on the Department's budget and keep you updated on other important budget-related news. We also provide a variety of detailed budget tables on key aspects of the Department's budget, including the President's Budget Request, Congressional action on appropriations, State allocations, and historical funding levels.
The President's budget request for FY 2017 includes $69.4 billion in discretionary funding, an increase of $1.3 billion over the 2016 appropriation. The Department's elementary and secondary programs annually serve nearly 16,900 school districts and approximately 50 million students attending more than 98,000 public schools and 28,000 private schools. Department programs also provide grant, loan, and work-study assistance to more than 13 million postsecondary students.
That said, it is important to point out that education in America is primarily a State and local responsibility, and ED's budget is only a small part of both total national education spending and the overall Federal budget, as we explain in a primer on the Federal role in education. In addition to this historical background, we try to demystify the Federal budget process and show how it is carried out in ED.

There have been many improvements since I was last here, and positive changes, but still there are signs everywhere of the destruction of the tsunami, including shells of houses by the beach. The clean up is taking a long time. In Sri Lanka, as well as India, I've often thought a waste-management company would clean up (so to speak) if they were able to bring their skills to these countries.
The house I am staying at was built by my friend Alison and her Sri Lankan partner Geeth
Alison and Geeth had a little baby 10mos ago, Sophie. Sophie was not feeling well the day before last, not eating, or sleeping, so yesterday Alison and Geeth consulted their doctor, and ended up taking her to a hospital in Galle, where after finding little Sophie has a viral infection, they stayed overnight. They may stay in again tonight.
All of this taken in their relaxed stride. Alison is expecting 40 for Christmas. Two more friends, Deb and Dan, from the UK arrived yesterday morning. They and I went out for dinner at a beach-front restaurant called The Happy Banana last night. I had a beer (gasp!) the first alcohol to pass my lips in about 4 weeks. I have a whopper of a headache today, surely one beer couldn't be the cause?!
Christmas in Unawatuna was a sunny, sensational experience. Deb, Dan and I went for a Christmas day dip in the ocean, and followed that with a lunch at a beach-side restaurant. Despite the worry that Sophie's illness caused, both Ali and Geeth were calm, cool and collected in the lead up to their Christmas dinner party for 40. The 40 turned into 50! Ali's friend Stacey, who was getting married on the 27th December, and her caterer father cooked and helped serve up the beautiful buffet turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Many of you know of my fantasy of losing half my body weight while on my world travels.
A friend of Alison, Linda Johansson, is an enterprising Swedish woman splitting her time between her beautiful home here in Sri Lanka, and her make-up and production business in London. She arranges magazine photo shoots, and also is a makeup artist. She had a jolly notion, while at Allison's Christmas dinner, that we stage a Bollywood photo shoot of ourselves in sumptuous Sri Lankan sarees. I had shared with Linda and Alison my Bollywood adventure in India, and I think Linda was keen to add to that with a saree shoot. Of course I was game, as were Allison, Linda's mum Siv, and another Swedish friend of theirs. You can read about that funny afternoon in the entry "Saree Sisters on Tour in SriLanka."

Nice apartment close by the best place in Krakow (Kazimierz). We can truly recomend this apartment. And the best restaurant in kazimierz that served lovely pirogi and potato pancake was Marchewka on mostowa street.
Thank´s Beata for renting this apartment to us.
Perfect host and perfect apartment! Beata is very kind and told us everything we need to know about the apartment. We could call her when necessary. The apartment is spacious, clean, pleasant, and very comfortable. The bedroom is at the back of the house, where it is very quiet, The location is strategic: everyting is nearby: tram, taxi, shops, restaurants. It is easy that there are two bikes.
Thank you Beata, we hope to see you again. Wim and Petra.
this was a really great place to stay at!! The apartment was very clean and big,the surroundings were great and Beatas sister which we met was very sweet
and helpful!!
The apartment is very clean, freshly renovated and fully equipped. It is situated close to the city center and tourist attractions, one can just walk around. We had a car and it was not a problem as well, because the car can be parked in the inner yard, which is much more convenient than to leave it on the street.
Groceries, bakeries and small shops are also in walking distance.
Special thanks to Beate - our flight was delayed for over one hour, and she was waiting for our late arrival patiently. She is very helpful and easy-going, best recommendations both to the apartment and the hostess!
Thank you Beata for letting us stay in your very cosy apartment. We did´t lack anything and it was clean and nice.
x-tra plus for the bikes and the location!
We can highly recommend Beata as host!!
Een ruim appartement en vriendelijke benadering door Beata. Ze spreekt goed Engels en is vriendelijk. De ligging van het appartement is super, beneden om de hoek leuke, betaalbare en goede restaurants, een bakker 200 meter de straat in [ al vanaf 6 uur verse broodjes ].
100 meter van de rivier, waar je met een voetgangersbrug over steekt en meteen in de Joodse wijk bent, nog 10 minuten lopen en je bent in het centrum. De fietsen zijn een beetje klein voor ons, maar lekker om bij de hand te hebben.
De doorgang voor de auto, die dan wel fijn op een binnenpleintje staat is smal, spiegels naar binnen en het lukt!
Aan drukke straat, maar goed geïsoleerd je kunt het buiten geluid goed buiten sluiten. Prima plekje dus.
Super Wohnung in Krakau
+ zentral
+ ruhig
+ sehr angenehm eingerichtet
+ Parkplatz im Innenhof
+ schnell und einfach von der Autobahn zu erreichen
+ wenige Minuten ins Szeneviertel Kasimierz
+ einfache und freundliche Kommunikation
:-) immer wieder gerne! Danke Beata!
Schönes, sauberes und großes Apartment in toller Lage.
Sogar der Kühlschrank war mit einer Flasche Wasser, einer Flasche Cola sowie frischen Tomaten und Gurken gefüllt.
Zwei kleine negative Aspekte:
- Es gab, trotz Nachfrage, nur ein Handtuch pro Person.
- Die Fahrräder waren nur für Personen unter 1,70 Meter Größe gut zu gebrauchen und hatten kein Licht.....aber dafür hält die Straßenbahn fast direkt vor der Haustür.
eine tolle saubere wohnung. mit allen was man braucht. kann man als sehr gut bezeichnen.würde ich immer wieder nehmen.ein anruf und beata in wenige minuten da.mit den schlüssel. ich bedanke mich.das ich sie mieten durfte.liebe beata wünsche dir viele liebe geste. alles gute... johannes jarosch

In the 22-minute special, the show's villain, Plankton, hatches a plan to feed the town holiday fruitcake made with Jerktonium, an ingredient that turns everyone into a jerk. Plankton's evil plan is to make everyone rude and grumpy so by comparison, he will appear good to Santa and finally get his one wish for Christmas: the Krabby Patty secret formula.
"[The episode] was done in what is called stop motion animation," said Tom Kenny, who provides the voice of SpongeBob. "The characters are like little jointed action figures, and each action is made up of a whole bunch of little photographs where the figure is moved very slightly. For instance, you move the leg a little bit or move the arm a little bit, and you take a picture each time. When you run those still photos in rapid succession, it gives the illusion of movement."
All the sets for the special episode had to be built on a tabletop so the directors could run the action figures around the show's main setting, an underwater village called Bikini Bottom. "There's a scene in the special where Santa's sleigh is flying over the town," Kenny explained to TFK. "So they put the camera on wires and flew it around the miniature tabletop city of Bikini Bottom."
Something especially unique about this Christmas special is that Kenny, rather than one of the show's six writers, wrote it. The story is based on a song called, "Don't be a jerk, it's Christmas." Kenny wrote the song a couple of years ago and shared it with Nickelodeon executives. It then became something they were interested in expanding into a story.
When he was growing up, Kenny always wanted to do voices. "I just thought it would be a really fun job to have. I didn't know if I had the ability or not. I just hoped when I became an adult, I would have the opportunity to do it," he says. Tom has voiced many characters during his career. Some of his roles include Slinkman from Camp Lazlo, Heffer Wolfe in Rocko's Modern Life and Dog in Catdog. He even won an Annie Award in 2010 for Best Voice Acting in an Animated Television Production.
Paul Tibbitt is the executive producer for SpongeBob. TFK asked Tibbitt why he thought SpongeBob SquarePants has become such a popular show. "I think that SpongeBob's eternal optimism is a big factor," says Tibbitt. "People need to have some time in their lives to laugh and just be silly, and I think SpongeBob provides that." Both Kenny and Tibbitt say the best part of their job is creating something that makes people laugh. They believe "It's A SpongeBob Christmas" will do just that. The show aired on CBS on November 23, and will premiere on its home channel Nickelodeon on Thursday, December 6.

text: Anybody have any good suggestions for a table saw. Really need something fairly rugged, with a fairly large table yet not so large that it would require a large storage area. Seems like the choices go pretty quickly from light duty stuff that wouldnt stand up to huge high end professional quality equipment with not a lot in between.

Today the Grundy frogs went on search for food. NOM. It's amazing how much healthy stuff we actually bought, considering we're in the world of the fatties. First of all, we went to the Atrium, where all the waitresses were about a size 240.. I wonder if they eat some of the food before they serve it!
Shortly followed food shopping and alcohol buying. Us frogs need alcohol to survive! It is approximately 32oC here... Far too hot for N-Frog, who has retreated to our pad.
I tried to find something in pants, but the challenge is tough... I also tried to find some tracksuit bottoms but alas, small was too long and extra small was too tight
So tonight, we dine on parmesan coated fish with herby things and salad with baked potatoes, before champagne evening! I hope the weather isn't too poor for the rest of our frog family back home. :( We are missing you L-Frog and G-Frog. :(
Tune in tomorrow for "Chapter 3: Frogs venture to the great outdoors."
N.B. This is the OFFICIAL travelpod of the Grundy-frogs, and copyright is in place. So to all the slimy toads out there - neeeer, get your own travelpod.

ALLT, PKT to Ride Carriers' Tiered Broadband Plans, Says ThinkEquity
Daniel Cummins with ThinkEquity today has positive words for networking equipment makers Procera Networks (PKT) and Allot Communications (ALLT) can both benefit from the rise of "tiered" or metered data usage on broadband networks, selling "deep packet inspection" to the carriers and cable MSOs.
Deep-packet, which gives carriers more detail about the traffic being sent back and forth by users, is not a new thing, Cummins observes: it first went mainstream several years ago, he points out, to stop file-sharing on cable networks by spying on the content of traffic.
Now, it has a promising future serving broadband operators need to limit and tier traffic for new packages of data service:
Cable MSOs are shifting their service plans to tiered offerings, with capacity caps and overage charges, and variable speed offerings. DPI vendors such as Allot and Procera offer a variety of technologies beyond basic metering, including VoIP service monitoring and media caching that are geared to quality of service initiatives and indicative of a competitive end-market for broadband service.
Cummins has a $30 price target on both Allot and Procera shares.
Allot shares today fell 32 cents, or 1% to $25.18, and Procera stock was up 18 cents, or 0.8%, at $23.71.

They bring the comedy down beautifully for the lovely, haunting little dialogue about hearing "all the dead voices" making sounds "like feathers" and "like leaves," one of the quieter and more searching moments. I'd like to see earlier and deeper seeds of the desperation growing in Didi: for example, there might be more of a pang in his voice during what otherwise seems the mere conversational boredom of imploring Gogo to "say anything at all;" or he might bring his befuddled rhetoric about man's plight to a higher pitch before it collapses into the agonized confusion of "What have I said?"
But his existential alarm is achingly evident in the second act, and his and Gogo's petulant camaraderie is all the more affecting against that presence, as it should be, in the New Hampshire Theatre Project's wistful rendition of Beckett's classic.

Q. With all the recent controversy over the venues for the semi-finals of the FA Cup, will the Emirates Stadium be designed to cater for such games? How will the ground be segregated and what will be the ticket allocation for each team? - Mark O'Bornick, via email
A. There are no plans for Emirates Stadium to be used for FA Cup Semi-Finals as the FA have an agreement with the new Wembley to stage all semi-finals there. The new Wembley will officially open for next season's FA Cup Final on May 13, 2006, with Emirates Stadium opening for the start of the following season.
Q. I heard somewhere recently that there will be a Reserve League Play-Off for the first time this season - is this true? Can you tell me if this is true and if so why has it been implemented? - Graeme Pickson, Kent
A. There will indeed be a Reserve League Play-Off at the end of the season for the first time, this has been implemented as a result of The Premier Reserve League's contractual obligation with Barclays. It will be the winners of the Northern Reserve League (Manchester United) versus the winners of the Southern Reserve League (Charlton Athletic) at The Valley. With two games left this season, Arsenal are currently in third place in the Southern Division, and in Arturo Lupoli have the highest scorer in the league with 17 goals.
Q. I am, of course, an Arsenal fan in the Gambia and love to read Arsenal's magazine. My question is, who was the first African to play for Arsenal? Which nationality was he? The year and what were his contributions please? - Alhagie Drammeh, The Gambia, West Africa
A. Certainly Alhagie. The first African to play for Arsenal was Daniel Le Roux, (pictured) who was born in Natal, South Africa in 1933. Daniel, a South African International, was a winger who made five league appearances for the Gunners in 1957/58. He joined from South African side Queens Park and returned to his homeland after his brief stay at Highbury. In all eight Africans have represented the Club. They are: Jehad Muntasser (Libya), Christopher Wreh (Liberia), Kanu (Nigeria), Lauren (Cameroon), Carlin Itonga (Democratic Republic of Congo), Kolo Toure (Ivory Coast) and Emmanuel Eboue (Ivory Coast). In addition, there have also been several African-born players, such as Patrick Vieira (Senegal) and Johan Djourou (Ivory Coast) who play as European nationals.
Q. Thierry Henry wore the captain's armband against Norwich, and I was wondering if you could tell me the last time an Arsenal captain scored a hat-trick? Thanks. - Andy Holliman, Greenwich
A. We asked Arsenal statistician Fred Ollier
who trawled through the history books and found out that the
previous Arsenal player to score a hat-trick while skippering the
team was the great Alex James back in the 1934/35 season. He scored
three in Arsenal's 4-1 home league win over Sheffield Wednesday
February 2, 1935. He regularly captained the team, but this was his only hat-trick for the Club.
Other contenders were Cliff Holton, who scored a few hat-tricks but none during his time as captain. Ian Wright also captained Arsenal on a few occasions, but didn't score a hat-trick while wearing the armband.
Every other programme will feature a Q&A page. So we need your questions! As an incentive to all our inquisitive readers, we will give the sender of our favourite question a T-Shirt from the latest Gunners range in our catalogue. Send your questions (and shirt size) to Q&A at the normal Club address or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bill Gates:
How state budgets are breaking US schools
America's school systems are funded by the 50 states. In this fiery talk, Bill Gates says that state budgets are riddled with accounting tricks that disguise the true cost of health care and pensions and weighted with worsening deficits — with the financing of education at the losing end.

News: Tagged as FF Nexus Mix
ÜberFontFont FF Nexus
For the first ÜberFontFonts of 2014 we take a look at FF Nexus.
The hottest superfamily of the moment (and the highest climbing in our popularity charts) is the creation of Martin Majoor, the designer of FontFont favourites FF Scala and FF Seria. When Martin designed FF Scala and FF Scala Sans between 1988 and 1994, the idea was to design a serif, humanistic typeface from which a sans serif version would be derived. Martin called it: 'two typefaces, one form principle.' This became the basis of his type design philosophy. However ten years later he expanded it to 'three typefaces, one form principle', a Serif, a Sans and a Slab – and so the FF Nexus type system was born, consisting of FF Nexus Serif, FF Nexus Sans, the slab-like FF Nexus Mix – plus the additional monospaced FF Nexus Typewriter.
'FF Nexus is, in my opinion, the best typeface I have created so far,' says Majoor. 'With FF Nexus Mix, I introduced a third family member in my type design philosophy, and I am happy that this slab version is not a stand-alone typeface; it feels best when accompanied by serif and sans.'
And as one of our top rated ÜberFontFonts, it is clear that FontFont users agree!

Swashin' around with FF Nexus
When Martin Majoor designed FF Scala and FF Scala Sans between 1988 and 1994, the idea behind this was to design a serif, humanistic typeface from which a sans serif version would be derived. Martin called it: Two typefaces, one form principle. Ten years later, he expanded his idea of two typefaces, one form principle into four typefaces, one form principle, creating a new superfamily as a result. FF Nexus, today one of the most popular typefaces in the FontFont Library, borrows some of its structure from FF Scala, but adds the slab-like FF Nexus Mix and the monospaced FF Nexus Typewriter to the set.
And as if FF Nexus itself wasn't amazing enough, designer Martin Majoor made one of the styles stand out even more; FF Nexus Serif Italic comes with two additional swash alphabets:
Recently, while working on the Web FontFonts of FF Nexus, we decided to revisit the OpenType features of the OT versions as well. So our Type Department worked closely with Martin Majoor to achieve the optimum result from the revision.
"The happiest period in my type design life was when I worked on FF Nexus Serif Italic Swash. I found out that it is impossible to create one ideal series of swash capitals, so I decided to make two."
"Even though my first typeface, FF Scala, is still more popular, FF Nexus is, in my opinion, the best typeface I have created so far. With FF Nexus Mix, I introduced a third family member in my type design philosophy, and I am happy that this slab version is not a stand-alone typeface; it feels best when accompanied by serif and sans." says Martin Majoor.
FF Nexus Serif Italic: A combination of the OpenType features Discretionary Ligatures and Contextual Swashes.
It was a great challenge to translate Martin's ideas into a well-performing OpenType font, but no matter if you prefer activating features or choosing from the glyph palette, in the end you'll see that we achieved maximum flexibility. This screencast shows you how it works:permalink
New Release: FF57
BERLIN, GERMANY, October 2011 – FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
Redesign and new styles
FF Karbid: Revised & extended
FF Karbid Slab in use, Book design Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller 'The Murder of Crows' (Hatje Cantz, 2011)
Originally published in only three text weights and one display version in 1999, the original FF Karbid is an interpretation of vintage German storefront lettering from the early 1900s. Verena Gerlach collected and documented a lot of these alphabets in the Berlin quarters Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte. Although they have now almost completely disappeared due to the renovation works in the unified German capital, the spirit of those characteristic letters lives on in the concept of FF Karbid.
FF Karbid now offers a balanced range of five weights—from Light to Black—each with matching obliques. All versions of FF Karbid offer numerous alternate characters that alter their appearance and mood. These are based on the rather eccentric forms of Art Deco lettering—low- and high-waisted capitals; round versions of A, C, E; single-storey a & g, and many more. The fonts include numerous figure sets, arrows and bullets, and offer Latin Extended language support.
The new FF Karbid is a harmonized redesign of the original typeface. Rounder and less narrow letters lend the shapes more space and balance. Although the contrast was reduced to obtain a harmonious monolinear typeface (without losing its liveliness) it was increased in the bolder weights to improve legibility and achieve a certain elegance. FF Karbid Display is the most obvious spin-off of the original FF Karbid. More than merely having been assimilated, the letter forms were revised according to the new concept. The FF Karbid family has been augmented with two entirely new sub-families. The first one, the Text version, is intended for body copy in small sizes. The eccentric, serif-like swashes in select letters have been abandoned, while the friendly, lively forms of l, y, z and Z show the close relationship to the FF Karbid family. The other new sub-family is a Slab version. It has a sober, journalistic character, inspired by the typography in magazines of the 1920s (see Memphis, etc.). The strong serifs lend the typeface footing and an air of reliability. To improve legibility and balance the contrast was increased in comparison to the sans serif version.
Updated and extended FontFonts
FontFont continues its steady conversion of its library in Web & Office versions. This time FF Nexus and FF Signa Serif were released in both font formats.
Language extensions continue as well: FF Unit Pro speaks Cyrillic and Greek now.
FF Nexus Mix, FF Nexus Serif, FF Nexus Sans, FF Nexus Typewriter
Ten years after his iconic FF Scala, Martin Majoor expanded his idea of "two typefaces; one form principle" into "three typefaces; one form principle." The result: a new family of typefaces. FF Nexus borrows some of its structure from FF Scala, but adds the slab-like FF Nexus Mix and monospaced FF Nexus Typewriter to the set. The four coordinated families form a powerhouse type system, combining elegance with versatility. Web and office versions are now available.
FF Signa Serif
FF Signa is a typically Danish typeface by Ole Søndergaard, rooted in architectural lettering rather than book typography. Concise letterforms and a minimum of detail produce clear and harmonious word images. Designed for the Danish Design Center, it is used there for printed material and exhibitions as well as the internal signage system. There are Condensed, Extended and Correspondence versions, and in 2005 FF Signa Serif joined the family. Now the web and office versions are also available for FF Signa Serif.
FF Unit
FF Unit was designed by Erik Spiekermann and produced by Christian Schwartz. FF Unit is the grown-up, no-nonsense sister of Spiekermann's famous FF Meta. With FF Unit, puppy fat is off, some curves are gone and the shapes are tighter. While FF Meta has always been a little out-of-line and not exactly an over-engineered typeface, FF Unit is less outspoken and more disciplined. It is—like FF Meta—very suitable for use quite small and large, but FF Unit lacks some of the diagonal strokes and curves that give FF Meta its slight informality. However, FF Unit is not cold or uptight, just cool: no redundant ornamentation, just a lot of character. The tighter shapes make it suitable for big headlines set tight. Smaller sizes benefit from the increased contrast between vertical and horizontal strokes and open spacing. Thin and Light perform well set large, displaying the characters to their advantage. There is a great difference in weight between the Thin and Ultra, providing a good range of weights for contrasting combinations. Alternative characters (a, g, i, j, l, U, M) make for interesting headlines. The Small Caps are a bit larger than normal, making them suitable for abbreviations and acronyms. The many weights include old style, regular, and tabular figures. FF Unit Pro is now available with Cyrillic and Greek character sets. The entire FF Unit super family consists of FF Unit, FF Unit Slab, and FF Unit Rounded.permalink

text: I have just started beekeeping this year. I built a Kenya top bar style from a design I found online but had a late start on the whole idea. I was planning on ordering bees for next spring and I crashed a bee club meeting that was on a field trip out this way. Then I happened to learn how to catch a swarm from a beek who keeps his hives by my neighbor's fields. I walk my dogs there and had called him for a swarm near his hives. The next time they swarmed they were up in a tree hanging over the pond and if I caught them they were all mine! So...I caught em in a fumbling fashion involving climbing the tree with pruners and rope, then trying to drop them mostly into a cooler (also up in the tree), hurried up to finish my hive and put them in the next morning. They stayed, and I waited a while and checked for the queen. I clawed around and made some of the comb fall. Also spotted lots of eggs, brood and finally saw her majesty the queen. All went well until last week when I was gone camping and a huge T-storm blew through taking the power out to 50,000 some for up to 4 days, knocking over trees, my motorcycle .. and threw poor bees upside down and all the comb down off the bars. A brave man I love a lot went out and scooped them into the hive and put the lid back on. I got back and tried to tie up the comb (which I know a better way for next time now thanks to this site). I have been feeding them some syrup just to make things easier and they keep draining it and building new comb, attaching back ok. Then some ants visited and I had to move the hive, cinnamon kept blowing away. Now tonight I saw runt bees with deformed wings which means varroa mites right so I dusted them with powdered sugar and hopefully they all fall off through the screen. I don't know of any stores around here where I can buy the medicine. The catalog stuff all costs more for shipping than the medicine! I redid the hive and better braces so it can't blow over like that and tied to the blocks which prob should have done earlier. I don't like my top bars because they fall inward too easy, not long enough. The next one I will change the design or else try the Langstroth one. I probably want two hives anyway and fun trying different things. It's just you need more $$ equipment it looks like and I am lacking in that department. I made my own hat/veil and my suit is my snowboard jacket. I hope the bees survive me. They do seem to be a tolerant bunch. Anyway that's my story so far and lots to learn. I did tell my first bee joke....I told somebody the hardest thing about it was rounding up and branding them.

Notice CorBon was hottest of the HP and only one that expaned every time.
Also notice that S&B Ball was very hot and had same engery Ftlbs as Corbon. I shoot both and they wake 32 up
If I wanted ball for carry I would look at S&B .
The WW cone is junk. Also same OAL as most hp and can cause rim lock in KT
