A Mount Maunganui man was shocked by the actions of five motorists who ignored his desperate attempts to flag them down and raise the alarm after a woman was pulled lifeless from the surf.
Craig Leckie offered to call an ambulance after coming across surfers pulling a woman from the water but no one would stop to lend him a mobile phone.
Vivian Fosse Telfar, 54, drowned while swimming near Sutherland Ave in Mount Maunganui on Saturday, two days before she was due to fly home to Norway.
Tauranga police Senior Sergeant Glen Saunders said a surfer spotted Ms Telfar, who was born in New Zealand, about 20 metres offshore, floating face down in the water about 6pm on Saturday.
The surfer dragged her in and members of the public performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
Mr Leckie had just been for a swim about 50m down the beach when he noticed people dragging Ms Telfar up the beach.
"I went hoofing down there,'' he said.
He asked if they needed him to call an ambulance and when they said yes he raced up to Marine Parade to find a phone.
He was unable to get into any of the nearby houses as they were protected by high fences and gates so he tried to flag down passing cars.
"I was basically standing in the middle of the road, in my togs with my hands in the air,'' he said.
The first car to come by slowed and stopped but when Mr Leckie approached the window the driver drove away. The same thing happened with the next four cars he flagged down.
Mr Leckie finally gave up and noticed a man sitting in a parked van he had previously thought was empty.
The tourist in the van gladly lent him his mobile phone.
"I rang the ambulance and they told me to go back to the site. They gave me very clear instructions about how the CPR should be done.''
He relayed the instructions to a woman who was already giving CPR.
Mr Leckie was shocked by how difficult it had been to get help.
"If I got a phone earlier I could have been back at the beach giving CPR instructions. It might have been life and death,'' he said.
St John Mount Maunganui operations team manager Gary Bishell said ambulance staff tried to resuscitate Ms Telfar on the beach but were unsuccessful.
The woman was at the beach with her daughter, three sons and her ex-husband, he said. They were due to fly home today.
Mr Saunders said it was unclear how the woman died.
"We've got no idea if it was a medical issue or just a drowning,'' he said. "It's been referred to the coroner.''
A post-mortem examination was likely to be carried out today, he said.
Mount Maunganui lifeguards also raced to the scene but were not required.
Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service chairman Paul Treanor said the death was a reminder of the need to treat the ocean with the utmost respect.
Minutes after lifeguards were called to the scene, off-duty lifeguards Callum Knox and Andrew Roy plucked a teenager from a rip near Leisure Island.
Mr Roy said the 16-year-old Hamilton boy had become caught in the rip while swimming.
Mount Maunganui lifeguards had already rescued two swimmers near Leisure Island earlier on Saturday.
Water Safety New Zealand chief executive Matt Claridge said the message to swimmers remained the same.
"Never swim alone, swim between the flags and if in doubt, stay out. That's the risk that people take if you want to swim outside the flags. You need to be a capable swimmer and possess some incredible survival skills, just in case.''
Ms Telfar's death comes almost a week after Te Puke man Bennett William James White, 26, died at Rogers Beach near Otamarakau. It is believed he crashed his motorbike on the sand and the tide came in and took his body out to sea.
Meanwhile the search continues for missing Katikati boatie, Tim Mair. He was swept away at Bowentown Heads after a wave capsized his boat last Monday.

text: Selling my Powewrdyne Supercharger. I bought it off a close friend of mine a couple of years ago to put on my 01 Sierra but my truck got stolen shortly after and that was the end of that. I've held onto it knowing that one day i would get back into a silverado. Now that i have the SS and am daily driving it i have decided to put long tubes on it instead of the supercharger. The supercharger is off an 03 SS. My friend used it for two summers until he blew the internal belt and pulled it off for a big turbo build. I have all the parts for it excluding the Diablo sport tuner which i have already sold. Blower has low hours as it was only summer driven. The blower needs to be rebuilt with a new internal belt as seen in the pictures. Bearings are still good but if it were me rebuilding it i would replace them for good measure. Asking $1200 CDN. Located in Baden, Ontario Canada. **Will ship anywhere, Shipping price negotiable** Thanks for looking. PM, e-mail or phone for any additional details.

New to Mammoth? An opinionated guide
Touching down at Mammoth Yosemite Airport—less than an hour after we'd left San Jose—that last seven-hour Sunday slog from Tahoe back to the Bay Area fades away. The pilot tells us to buckle up, folks, we're coming in for a landing. Already? I'm just getting comfy with my peanuts and in-flight magazine.
As I step out onto the tarmac, surrounded by a 360° kingdom of Swiss Alps–style peaks, it's official: I'm gobsmacked. One hour and $188 later, hello, good-mood ski weekend.
Until a few years ago, the Eastern Sierra's Mammoth Mountain has been almost exclusively the winter playground of SoCal-ers who've made the six-hour trek by car. Now, flights from the Bay Area mean this eastern front—only 32 miles southeast of Yosemite but as good as unreachable by car in winter—is finally a Tahoe alternative.

Exclusive Interviews: Protection 1 Opens Up About Integration Logistics Acquisition
During ASIS 2012, Protection 1 announced the acquisition of Newark, Del.-based Integration Logistics, which will add new integrated systems capabilities to its commercial and national account security offerings. Listen as P1's Tim Whall, Jamie Haenggi, Donald Young and Ken Schafenberg, former owner…
September 6, 2012
CHICAGO — Protection 1 announces today the acquisition of Newark, Del.-based Integration Logistics, adding new integrated systems capabilities to its commercial and national account security offerings.
Integration Logistics, which is certified in information technology and voice/telephony services, is known for its highly integrated solutions that include services beyond traditional access control, video surveillance and fire/life-safety systems, according to a press release.
Integration Logistics co-founders Ken Schafenberg and John Smolinski will lead the new Integrated Systems Division at Protection 1, bringing all 40 of their employees with them.
"We are thrilled to be joining the Protection 1 team," says Schafenberg, who will take on the role of vice president of integrated systems with Protection 1. "With their dedication to the customer experience and their national footprint, we look forward to the growing opportunities for our customers, as well as expanding the current offering Protection 1 has for its national account clients."
Related Podcast: Listen to SSI's exclusive interview with Schafenberg and P1 CIO Donald Young on the show floor as ASIS 2012:
The deal follows Protection 1's acquisition of Wilmington, N.C.-based Camtronic Security Integration, which delivered the company a specialized focus in high-end video solutions geared toward national account clients, including prominent retailers and large video projects with tens of thousands of networked cameras. Camtronic clients are now able to take advantage of a full line of security services, including intrusion and fire, among others.
"The additions of Camtronic and Integration Logistics allow us to give our customers a more robust customer experience in terms of products and services, while growing our employee base with subject matter experts in each of our offerings," says Protection 1 CEO Tim Whall. "We've seen triple-digit growth over the past two years in our national account division. I believe this growth is due to several factors, one of which is the high level of dissatisfaction with customer service we hear of from national account clients in the marketplace. That dissatisfaction has enabled our approach to stand out as truly differentiated."
Related Podcast: Listen to SSI's exclusive interview with Whall and P1 Chief Marketing Officer Jamie Haenggi on the show floor as ASIS 2012.
In 2011, Protection 1 says it introduced industry firsts such as Maintenance Rewards, product inventory services, benchmarking and dashboards. The company's infrastructure is centered on a philosophy of close, clear and transparent communication across the company and with their clients, according to the release.
"Integrated and highly complex network-based solutions seemed to come up more and more with our client base," says Whall. "We wanted to make sure that we were addressing these needs by having the expertise within the company. Ken, John and their entire employee base have very broad and deep IT experience, coupled with a like-minded approach to treating the customer."
In striking a deal with P1, Schafenberg explains the Integration Logistics team was looking for growth opportunities while ensuring their clients would continue to receive a high level of customer care.
"We know we found that in Protection 1 and continue to be impressed, not only in how they serve their clients, but in how they are managing the integration of our company — seamlessly and without customer interruption."

Town Square
Businesses Downtown
Original post made by Fran, Foothill Place, on Nov 11, 2008
With that being said, I hate mall shopping and use the downtown businesses as often as I can. It's my first choice. They have everything I need, except hardware, and garden things and I find parking is easy.
The clothing stores actually help you; prices are comparable to the department stores, like Macy's and nice selections. When I needed a gift for a child, the toy store had great toys and they wrapped. I love the pet store, nice and it's so much closer instead of going to Petco for dog treats & toys. The lingerie store has a choice in my bra size and actually knows how to fit. I think they beat Nordstrom's and Victoria's. The gas station is cheap and the regular works just fine in my BMW, the shop next to them has all sorts of ideas for gifts and cards, the kitchen store has everything I need for cooking and the running store had shoes that were in my size.
All the complaining about the restaurants; sure, now and then you hit an off night, but you can't tell me the mall restaurants are better. I've eaten at almost every restaurant in downtown and they beat all the PF Chang's and the Cheesecake Factories. When's the last time an owner of a chain restaurant every came and asked how the meal was? Baroni's, Baci's, Stacy's have all asked. Don't use a mesg blog to complain, tell the owner or manager.
I'm sorry if I sound like a commercial for the downtown businesses, but I am tired of reading how everyone loves their cute downtown and doesn't want it change, or how some landlord is giving his opinion in the Weekly on what the retail businesses need to do to bring shoppers downtown. If he shopped downtown, he would already know that the retail businesses offer unique selections, personal service, special orders and actually care about you as a customer.
The public needs to realize that the small businesses offer choices, personal service and conveniences that the mall doesn't. On the subject of closing at 6pm, I asked the owners of my favorite stores why they close early, the answer is all the same, they tried staying open until 8pm and spent thousands of dollars in advertising, wages and overhead but hardly anyone shopped downtown after 6pm. I can't blame them. I do find a number of the clothing stores will stay later if I call and can't get there until after 6pm and no they don't ask my name before saying they will wait. That's the advantage of dealing with small businesses.
Most of the store owners live in Pleasanton and need the support of the community to stay in business. If you want your downtown to thrive and stay cute, you need to actually spend money in the stores.

Great post Fran! And I'll add to it, you can pick out a great gift or bottle of wine from around the world with awesome sevice at the wine steward, they also offer AG Ferarri Italian food specialties, dozens of chesses etc... For anyone who hasn't tried it yet, the Bibiane Bakery down near Tully's is AWESOME! I like the positive approach! I personally would hate to see downtown turn into the mall, and think if people would look around they'd realize what is there is much better than most of the complaining you read here. But as you said, businesses need patrons to buy and not just look to stay in business.....

good post -- maybe some of the people who love our quaint little downtown will start spending money there. Starting with hosterman who claims to want to improve things. If hosterman would spend a little money there rather than heading off to "conferences" at our expense to debate world peace, or her crisis of the day, it would help. She wants to have a "retreat" for the city council. She better hold it downtown and patronize the downtown restaurants rather than another of her typical boondoggles to some fancy hotel in another city. If I hear of hosterman holding an out of town retreat I will personally start the recall campaign myself. SPEND YOUR MONEY IN PLEASANTON JENNIFER.

Wow, I couldn't have said it better. My kid love the toys at GR Doodle bugs, I buy cards at Sincerely Yours, I get my hair done at Gary Patricks, my husband likes the Wine Steward and the art gallerys and is going to miss Benny at Accentuals. In one way, I feel like it's our little secret about the great shops in the downtown, but I understand how the community needs to support them.

I have family in Chico and the downtown area has a couple of nice apparel stores that appeal to the younger college age crowd (male and female). They along with a yogurt shop, bagel shop, novelty candy shop, Pita Pit, and Mr. Pickles keep a steady stream of customers (young and old) cruising the downtown area (and spending money). It doesn't seem that our downtown has anything to draw the high school and college age kids to spend any time (and money) there.

I went into a ladies dress shop downtown this week and had a wonderful surprise. It was called Apparel & Co I think, and it is next to Strizzies. Great clothes, great prices. And there is not 50 of each style, like a the mall. I say -- try it! I can't keep them in business alone, but I helped!

I own LilyAnn's Lingerie and I appreciate the comments regarding downtown businesses. However, I felt I needed to comment on the postings.
The perceived idea that the downtown businesses have only high priced items is wrong. Most of us have very affordable merchandise that competes with the mall department stores. At LilyAnn's our bras, lingerie, swimwear and sleepwear start at what you would pay at Victoria's Secret, Nordstrom's or Macy's. What we do different is offer old fashion service and regular and hard to find sizes.
Before opening, I surveyed women about mall shopping verses downtown and was told by all, they would welcome an alternative to the mall. I've advertised for almost 5 years that we're in the downtown and carry sizes starting at 30 thru 46 with cups at A thru K. The results are, I rarely sell A – D cups.
We keep our clients names and sizes on file and are very much aware of who has bought bras from us. So where do all those A – D cup women I surveyed shop for a bra? Could it be they haven't needed to purchase any new bras or panties in almost 5 years or didn't realize I carry those sizes. As far as teenagers and college age women: We carry merchandise for all females that wear bras and sleepwear. I have customers from ages 13 to 95.
Regarding staying open in the evening, we did for 2 years until 8pm and it wasn't' financially justified. I lost money and the bottom line is, I need to sell merchandise to warrant the overhead. We're asked all the time are you new? It seems a lot of people come downtown for events such as parades, street fairs and holiday tree lighting and when they do, they don't really see their downtown for how special it really is.
For all the ladies that shop at LilyAnn's, thank you for your support. Without you we wouldn't be able to stay open. Sincerely, Carol & Kelly

When talking about women's clothing I agree that Apparel and Co is a good find, almost as good as Retro Martini. I have purchased items from Retro Martini that work for casual jeans days as well as for a vacation in Europe. Never overpriced and the service is great. If I ever felt inclined to spend $200+ on jeans (not likely) I would go to either one of the consignment stores for a huge selection at way less than $200. Sorry All About Me and Sugar Shack, a hundred bucks for a T-shirt with rhinestones on it or a pair of overpriced jeans just does not fit into my budget. If I spend that kind of money I need to feel that my business is actually wanted. Many of the downtown stores offer value and service, all it takes is a little time to look around.
Another thread mentions stores not staying open late although posting late hours. I have no problem at all with stores closing when they have no business (browsing is NOT business). Please, just do not post late hours and then close early.

Thank you Carol and Kelly for an owner's perspective - which is one backed by taking the risk of running a business downtown.
I have to say however that the downtown is looking a bit tattered last few years. .kind of like Niles. ouch.
Maybe if the stores catered to everyday items residents need to buy they would be more successful. A good balance with gifty type shops, restaurants, and business focused on things residents go to the mall for may work.
I'm am not a marketing expert but I recognize a failed business plan and that is downtown ptown.
For the record we mainly visit coldstone, strizzi's, the dairy, the bookstore, that is it. Will check out the lingerie store soon.

I agree with Chris, Savvy Seconds is a great store with wonderful service. They greet you as you walk in and never, ever act like you don't belong in their store. Hello Sugar Shack, are you listening? When I walked in there (3 times, gave them the benefit of the doubt) each time I was ignored right after the owner stared at me as if I had no business thinking I was allowed to shop in her store. I must not fit their desired profile. A thiry-something from Ruby Hills with weekly botox appointments and driving a Mercedes SUV. Nope, not me. Guess having a little hobby business that caters to their friends is all they want.

Looking at the above posts it seems clear that some stores are really trying to make it work and a few don't seem to care. I have shopped often at Lily Ann's and am always amazed at the personal care and selection. I have also experienced the open hostility at Sugar Shack. It is pretty clear that if you are not one of the chosen crowd then you are not welcome to shop at Sugar Shack. Reminds me of another store that went out of business a year or so ago. If you were their "friend" you were served champagne and encouraged to buy. If not, you were ignored. These economic times are going to be very hard for stores with that attitude to weather.

I remember in the early 70's downtown was a fun place to shop. There was a bumper sticker Support your local Merchant. I had that on my car!!!
Livermore used to be in the shadow of Pleasanton, but look at Livermore today. Outside In, Main St. Designs and more. What is happening to Pleasanton is the high rents these landlords charge. What happened to Domus?? Rent hike. If these landlords try and help the merchants, maybe we would have more boutiques. We have too many banks.

Hello All, My name is Joe and I am the owner of The Wine Steward at 641 Main Street. I've watched the comments for some time regarding happiness and displeasure, regarding regarding Main Street businesses. I have resisted posting as I don't want to be percieved as using this forum inappropriately, but given this topic and prior postings feel I am in a unique position to comment.
We have been in business now since Dec. 18th 1999. I have participated in the P.D.A.'s economic vitality committee, sponsored downtown steet closure events, concerts in the park etc..... There are things that are awesome about being downtown, and others that make it difficult.
A bit about our original business plan and our goals.
I have been a wine fan, collector, foody etc... for almost 25 years of my life now. I had the good fortune of having a family member introduce me to his passion for all things wine about 25 years ago and we had always romanced about opening up a wine store to pursue our passion in earnest. We had grown up shopping at (still today), some of the best wine shops in the world on the peninsula in K &L Wine Merchants, Beltramo's and even Holiday Wines and Liquors. We both used to travel far and wide in pursuit of great selection, good prices and knowledable service. My wife and I were fortunate to find our 2nd home in Pleasanton back in 1988 and decided it would be an incredible place to raise our family.
Downtown in 1988 was not at all the desirable place it is today. It was dominated by small bars, lots of "antiques" stores a couple of restaurants and not much else. By 6:00PM on any night of the week the streets downtown were dark, somewhat dreary and not very inviting. For some reason in the discussions of downtown, there is an assumption that it has always been the way that it is today, but today's iteration of downtown, did not exist until the city, led by City Manager at the time Deborah Acosta (now Deborah McKeehan), led a charge to upgrade infrastructure, widen the streets, put in good lighting etc.... I remember what a disaster Main Street looked like for 12 to 18 months and lots of complaining by the businesses that no one could survive without foot traffic etc.... Somehow we made it through all of that, and the resulting finished project was a gem! Now all we needed were businesses to come.
BTW, I don't mean to put down the antiques stores and I do know that Pleasanton was identified as almost an antiques destination, but going into those businesses, most seemed more like garage sale enterprises with up to 20 or 30 vendors sharing a single retail space. It was in 1999 after one of those antiques shops (Main Street Antiques) was going out of business, that my wife noticed a "For Lease" sign being tacked to the front of the building.
When I met the owner (longtime resident Bob Byrd) to look at the building, he told me of its past as a movie theater (New Lincoln, and Roxy), its history as a variety story (Dochery's I think), and then as a carpet and flooring store, prior to becoming an antique store. I was thrilled to find the orignal movie screen and one of the projectors in the basement (since given to Charles Huff for historical preservation), and came up with the idea to restore the building to its theater heritage and open The Wine Steward. In hindsight the restoration of the building has done little for the business, but still brings attention back to the building for its history as the first movie theater in Pleasanton.
Fast forward to today. We are in a business that is based upon heavy competition, with wine available at every grocery store etc..... Our differentiation is our ability to find great wines at great prices and offer great service that you don't normally find anywhere else. What has allowed us to survive to this point is the loyalty of our customers! While every day retail traffic isn't the mainstay of our business, monthly wine clubs, special winery and industry tasting events, wine storage locker rentals etc... provide the basis for our existence. We do not advertise, and exist almost solely on word of mouth.
In hearing both the positive and the negatives of certain businesses downtown, please use this posting as an invitation to give me your comments both positive and negative regarding what we do well, or not so well, and what you'd like to see done differently. If you have never experienced our store and can take a minute to let me know why, I would appreciate that as well. If you are looking for great wines and wine related gifts at very competitive prices, please come pay myself, Jim, Steve, Kent, Eric, Erik, Lolo, or Judy and the rest of the crew a visit. I'd like to wish all of Pleasanton a happy, healthy and especially safe holiday season.
You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com with any input.
Happy Holidays and Thank You for your support.

Greetings Joe, thanks for your time. I appreciate you not asking us to post all of our compliments on this forum, that smacks of free advertising. That being said . . . . my husband and I like your store and the service. We are members of several wine clubs in the Livermore area and have very little time to pursue shopping for wine at other times. However, your store is always the first place we go for a bottle of something that we have not tried and want to learn about. We will make it a point to come in again soon.

Here is my take on the whole downtown... Our Downtown has some very unique stores.... stores that are becoming more and more rare these days thanks to big corporate giants. However, walking down Main Street today I couldn't help but feel sorry for the merchants that are working these stores. In what is known to be the busiest shopping time of the year, tonight, Main Street looked more like a ghost town. Streets should be full of shoppers with shopping bags walking from store to store. Part of the problem that plays into this is that there are WAY TOO MANY salons, cosmetic sugery places, banks, real estate offices, and vacant buildings. I would like to see more boutiques open up and, perhaps, an anchor store to get people Downtown, a more well-known store, (that wouldn't take away from the exisitng businesses)... Crate and Barrel (since we don't have one at the Mall), Novells or Armstrong Nursery, Tuesday Morning, etc. I just think we need something to attract more people Downtown. Tully's is doing a great job, and I think we need more businesses like that. That's just my take on the whole issue. I am just tired and frustrated of the fact that we have a beautiful Downtown, yet with Christmas being about a week away it looks like a ghost town.

I've got to agree with AnneMarie - Tulleys is doing very good business and drawing customers partly because of its location, but mostly because of its cozy, living room atmosphere which allows two, three, four people to get together and sit and chat comfortably without having to buy a very expensive dinner. In cold, rainy weather, no one wants to be in drafty dark restaurants, shivering. This weekend, Tulleys was packed with people enjoying the hot drinks and cookies and staying warm. Unfortunately, it's one of the few places for folks to gather informally, plus it closes far too early - they start kicking people out at 8:45 so that they can shut the doors by 9. I haven't tried the renovated coffee shop across the corner from Tulleys, and I doubt it has such a cozy atmosphere... but I will check it out.

Allen is well known in the Goldfish community and has been been raising fish for over 30 years, starting off at the age of 5 selling livebearers to the local pet stores. He had the thrill of having his first koi in an outdoor kiddie pool, and the horror of watching them get eaten by a garter snake the next day. Currently he raises, shows, and breeds award-winning Koi and goldfish. Allen is part of a few breeding programs trying to preserve the last of some varieties of goldfish. He is a founder of N.A.V.A (North American Veiltail Association), and a member of the American Goldfish Association, Northwest Koi and Goldfish Club, and the American Ranchu Society. This will be Allen's first visit to GSAS so let's make him feel welcome!
The lecture will be next Tuesday night (Tuesday, January 10th, 2012) at 7:30PM at Seattle Pacific University; Otto Miller Hall; Room 109; West Nickerson Street and 3rd Avenue West
Doors will open around 7:10PM; the meeting will start at 7:30PM
The lecture will be followed by a short auction
Guests welcome; no entrance fee
Family friendly but no childcare provided
Free parking, accessible building, no furry or feathered pets

Excerpt: "The Buffalo Bills surprised many when they signed Syracuse's Doug Marrone to be their next head coach. There were seemingly better options available, and fan reaction was less than pleased, but Marrone has already received quite an endorsement from New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, whom Marrone considers a friend and mentor.
"He's proven that he can coach in the modern era," Coughlin said. "[He] is a man who is very serious about his work. [He] shares the work ethic that the people of Western New York have long been known for. When he came to visit me – which was the year before last – he had specific questions he wanted to ask. He was very direct. He was recruiting in the area and he took the time out to visit with us despite the fact he was obviously on a mission."
A lot of Marrone's coaching style is modeled after that of Tom Coughlin, and although his players aren't entirely familiar with the man, that has already created some expectations.
"It looks like a good hire from the outside looking in, and I'm definitely excited to get to know him and start working with him," said center Eric Wood. "From what I've been reading, he considers one of his mentors Tom Coughlin. So that tells me we better be ready for some tough days ahead. But hard work will get us where we want to go."
Marrone won't be the first coach to go from the NCAA to the NFL and use a coaching style derived from watching Coughlin. Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano offered some praise for Coughlin and his coaching influence prior to their week two game, but that quickly went out the window when Schiano did something Coughlin would never do: he instructed his players to dive at the knees of the Giants during victory formation."

Good full, clean and complete basic amenities department.
Only small details in utensils such as bottle opener.
We had good and the staff gave us the key and very friendly retreat. This very well it located. It was an excellent choice.
Buen departamento completo, limpio y con las comodidades básicas completas.
Solo detalles pequeños en utensillos como por ejemplo destapador.
La pasamos bien y el personal que nos entregó la llave y luego la retiro muy amable. Esta muy bien ubicado. Fue una excelente elección.
Beautiful apartment in a very convenient location. Apartment is fully equipped, spotlessly clean and sig.Cesar and your staff are doing a great job in the management.
We were in four (two couples) and considering that there are 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms do not think you could ask for to spend a wonderful time in a city like Seville. Recommended the MUST!
Bellissimo appartamento in una posizione molto comoda. Appartamento è completamente attrezzato, perfettamente pulito e sig.Cesar ed il Suo staff stanno facendo un ottimo lavoro nella gestione.
Noi eravamo in 4 (due coppie) e considerando che ci sono 2 camere da letto e 2 bagni completi penso non si possa chiedere di più per passare dei momenti meravigliosi in una città come Seviglia. Da consigliare assoluttamente!
Fine, clean and cozy apartment within walking distance of the beautiful city of Seville. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Tip contact in January warm socks, the houses do not have central heating and the floor can be cold. There were, moreover, have sufficient electric heaters available.
Also useful, Lidl is nearby. Although you did not necessarily have to come with all the affordable cafés and tapas restaurants nearby. We have not forgotten and sunny weekend had in Seville.
Prima, schoon en gezellig ingericht appartement op loopafstand van het prachtige centrum van Sevilla. De eigenaren zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Tip neem in januari warme sokken mee, de huizen hebben geen centrale verwarming en dan kan de vloer koud zijn. Er waren overigens wel voldoende elektrische kacheltjes aanwezig.
Ook handig, de Lidl is dichtbij. Hoewel je daar niet perse hoeft te komen met alle betaalbare lunchrooms en tapasrestaurantjes dichtbij. We hebben een niet te vergeten en zonovergoten weekend in Sevilla gehad.
The stay was great. The house is great. Well maintained, very new. All in perfect condition, with many details. We have not thrown anything at fault. It is as if we had been in our home. The situation is very good, because you're just 15 minutes from downtown and 5 minutes from a wide street where you have some shops such as Lidl for shopping. It is in a quiet area. Totally recommend rent. Caesar has been at any time in the process, very friendly.
La estancia ha sido estupenda. La casa está genial. Muy bien cuidada, muy nueva. Todo en perfecto estado, con muchos detalles. No hemos echado nada en falta. Es como si hubiéramos estado en nuestra propia casa. La situación es muy buena, porque estás a 15 minutos del centro y a 5 minutos de una amplia calle donde tienes algunas tiendas, como Lidl para hacer la compra. Está en una zona muy tranquila. Recomiendo totalmente su alquiler. César ha sido en todo momento del proceso, muy amable.
Everything it's OK

text: Hi all, so I captured my first swarm on 4/30 -- good sized cluster. I hived them first in a nuc, and then, when they looked cramped, in an 8 frame deep. They've pulled about 3-4 deep frames of comb, and the queen is there. When I first looked at her, she looked pretty small (she's almost all yellow, with a bit of black on the very end of her butt). On inspection today, she looks bigger, and I even saw a little egg dangling out of her as she was wandering around. But here's the thing -- I can't see any larvae yet. There may be eggs, but the comb is so white, and the bees so thick, that I can't tell. No capped brood either, obviously. How long does it take for a recently swarmed hive to get capped brood? I suppose it's possible that I had a virgin queen, and she still had to do her mating flights. But any thoughts that the rest of you, with more experience than I, might have to offer, would be great. Thanks!

Published online: 8 March 2007
Foraging for pollen is an important behavior of the honey bee because pollen is their sole source of protein. Through nurse bees, larvae are the principal consumers of pollen. Fatty acid esters extractable from the surface of larvae, called brood pheromone, release multiple colony-level and individual foraging behaviors increasing pollen intake. In this study pollen forager turnaround time was measured in observation hives supplemented with brood pheromone versus a blank control treatment. Treatment with brood pheromone significantly decreased pollen forager turnaround time in the hive between foraging bouts by approximately 72%. Concurrently, brood pheromone increased the ratio of pollen to non-pollen foragers entering colonies. Brood pheromone has been shown to release most of the mechanisms known to increase pollen intake by colonies acting as an important regulator of colony foraging decisions and growth.
KEY WORDS: honey bee - brood pheromone - pollen foraging

I wonder if I can extract the pheromone from drone brood and add it to my pollen patties and or pollen substitutes?
What do you keepers of the bees think about the above application?

Best WebApp Pentest Course?
I will soon be ready to take a Web Application penetration testing course. My goal is to learn in-depth web app security. I have been a web app developer for 10 years and I have been in the security field for about 2 years now. So I am looking for an intermediate/advance course. I am looking on courses dedicated on web apps.
Also, I pay everything from my own pocket, so I am looking for the best value.
So far, I found:
- SANS 542: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking (GWAPT) - $4000 with the exam
- InfoSec Institute: Learn to Pen Test and Secure Web Apps - $3825
- BlackHat: The Web Application Hacker's Handbook - Live Edition - $1895 (late registration)
- BlackHat: Web Application (in)Security - $1895 (late registration)
Do you know about other courses? Which one would you suggest?
(aka H1t.M0nk3y)


text: Maybe it's been awhile since you've been in school and now you're faced with studying a 700+ page ACE Personal Trainer Manual along with additional technical publications filled with words, concepts, definitions and material that you're having a hard time remembering. It's exasperating and maybe even stressful, especially when the certification exam is fast approaching. You begin wondering if you should postpone the exam date. The short answer is don't (more on that topic in an upcoming post)! Instead, use smart, well-tested methods to assure you will remember what you are reading – not only to pass the all-important ACE certification exam, but also to apply the wealth of information you've learned when working with future clients. First, you need to challenge and replace erroneous thoughts such as: Instead of telling yourself, "My memory is so bad, I can't remember enough to pass the exam," say, "I haven't taken the exam, so how do I know for certain that I can't pass it?" And replace this, "All of these terms like anaerobic glycolysis and MET give me such trouble, I'll never get them down," with this, "I can use the study aids to help me memorize terms and understand concepts just like everyone else does." Start with a purpose. Having a specific purpose, continually reminding yourself why you're reading something, will help you stay on task and remain focused as well as help you constantly search for questions and rehearse answers. If you ask yourself, "What am I supposed to learn from this section?" you'll point yourself in theright direction. Purpose also enhances your memory through association, visualization, concentration and repetition. Here's how: Association is when you take one concept and relate it to another. For example, if you are trying to remember the steps in the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, you might associate "precontemplation" with "pre" meaning before contemplation, which is in fact the next stage. "Preparation" might be associated with "Action" as in "prepare for action." Visualization will help you build a strong and very intense picture in your mind. This is simply thinking in pictures. It's a form of association with mental images. Look at the highlighted words in the ACE Personal Trainer manual you are studying and "see" those highlights as mental pictures. For example, if you are trying to recall research-supported outcomes for yoga and tai chi, you might picture the human being comprised of cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal, psychobiologic, metabolic components – see the human being in its totality including heart, muscles, psychology and metabolism. Consider an actor who "gets into character." He or she may not think in terms of mental images to recall a script but rather actually "goes inside" the mind of a character to understand what the character would naturally say. Seeing terms, assessments, progressions, as "how would I actually do this with a client" is another form of association. Concentration, or focusing your attention on one thing at a time, can be enhanced through thinking in pictures, insisting that you do whatever it takes to get the meaning of something the first time before moving forward, and of course keeping in mind the specific goal of learning a concept or term ("How will I use this with a client?"). Association, visualization, and keeping in mind your purpose for learning a specific concept are tools of repetition that ensures you will recall the information you are studying. As you read and study, mentally rehearse how you will use the material in a real-life situation, how you may see it on an exam, how it relates to other material you've already studied, and paraphrase "chunks" of material before moving forward. This mental repetition, or rehearsing, will strengthen your memorization. Skimming a section before you carefully read it will help train your memory bank, accommodate your thinking to the material you will be studying and provide you complete comfort with what you will be reading since you have "seen" it already. If your attention span is short, study within that time frame and take essential breaks. When you do take a break, bring your associations and mental images with you and "play" with them in your mind, talk about them with others, put music to your visualizations, find humor in the pictures, make up rhymes with them and of course create interesting pneumonic devices to help you recall lists.

AMES, Iowa -- According to the Corporation for Enterprise Development, in 2013 nearly half of households do not have a basic personal safety net to prepare for emergencies or future needs, such as a child's college education or homeownership. Other top financial issues included too much debt, costs of renting or owning a home, and unemployment. As families continue to face these financial challenges, social service agencies, financial institutions and others are searching for effective tools to help clients manage finances and reach their personal goals.
In response to this situation, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach launched "Sharpen Your Financial Coaching Skills." The course is designed for volunteers, clergy, social workers and others working in nonprofit groups and organizations, who assist their clients or members with financial management concerns, said Mary Weinand, an ISU Extension and Outreach family finance specialist
Financial coaching focuses on helping individuals build skills and on teaching content based on the person's unique needs and goals, Weinand said. It is an on-going process that allows the client to make decisions and provides support to achieve long-term outcomes. The six sessions covered in the program include goal setting, credit, budgeting, saving, getting organized and financial crisis management.
Participants/coaches learn how to recognize the causes, complexity and associated stress of financial problems, Weinand continued They also gain tools and strategies they can use to assist their clients with various financial problems. Just as important, the course helps participants recognize client situations that are not appropriate for a non-professional to address.
Course evaluations indicated that the coaches appreciated the variety of activities offered during the course, including group discussions, panel presentations, video segments, websites and hands-on tools. Comments from people who have completed the course include:
"I will be incorporating it in my job — trying to help clients learn to prevent getting into financial crisis rather than always trying to find a way out of one."
"I plan to use this course to assist others in some problems that cause stress."
"I felt the combination of items helped me look at different sides of financial problems."
"These new financial coaches are offering unbiased education and resources designed to help people gain control of their finances. They serve as motivators and mentors to individuals who need help with starting and maintaining a spending plan, basic money management, saving toward a goal, understanding credit and other financial concerns. ISU Extension and Outreach is promoting the financial coaching services throughout the state to improve the financial stability of Iowa families," Weinand said.
Twelve hours of Social Work CEUs are available upon request after completing the "Sharpening Your Financial Coaching Skills" course.
For more information about the "Sharpening Your Financial Coaching Skills" course contact any ISU Extension and Outreach family finance specialist.

I also like Hixon for what he is.. I hate how a thread like this gets brought up and then if u disagre and have a long debate its starts to make u look like u dont like the guy.. I absoulutley like Hixon, but he definetly is replacable, and i honestly would be shocked if Rueben Randle dosen't have the 3rd WR spot all but locked as early as next yr...
steve smith, manninham, and hixon all didnt step up in 08. it was a much different situation. You could run back to your look who produced argument but we already explained why. Your whole argument about who produced more is very flawed. And you know it.Yes but MM produced. Hixon didn't. When Hixon had his chance in 2008 he DIDN'T produce.
And in regards to the coaching staff, Hixon was the vet and MM was the youngster. The pattern for these coaches was to favor Hixon. They didn't.
You guys are grasping at straws here with some of your arguments. Just step back, put away any preconceived notions and look at the productivity. Both on the same team with the same QB.
Its not even close. I just don't get the argument here for Hixon vs. Manningham.
I honestly think theres something 2 ELI having such a down season with Nicks being dinged up again, but not having Mario, and having Dom Hixon and Randle instead.. Obviously Randles a rook, but i'm just saying.. Its much easier to get by with Mario and Cruz fully healthy and nicks dinged up then it is with Cruz and Hixon and Randle healthy and Nicks dinged up.. I think ELI's barley 50pct TD/INT rate and only 13TD passes so far, shows just that...
he could have been twice the player if he didn't make so many technical mistakes
his athletic ability is off the charts but unfortunately football is....well to quote John Madden..."99% of the game is half mental"......whatever that means
I think if Mario did grasp the game and the Giants offense a bit more we may have never seen the emergence of Victor Cruz
I respect everything good that Mario did for this team......but it does not erase the memory of all the mistakes he made that don't show up on the TV broadcast
Please tell me by what standard you are claiming that Hixon is better than Manningham.
Its not production.
Its not catches
Its not yards
Its not TD's
Its not playoff performance.
Its not play in the clutch.
Its not who did Eli throw far more to.
Its not big plays made at biggest moments.
What is the standard?
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
2012 stats:
Mario Manningham 30 receptions,343 yards(11.1 ypc) and 1 td
Dominic Hixon 26 receptions, 380 yards(14.6 ypc)
In 2012, Mario Manningham makes makes anywhere from $3.2 million to 4.2 Million depending on his incentives.
In 2012, Domenik Hixon makes $615 k
What were you saying?

New Bra Continuously Checks Breasts for Tumors
Tiffany Kaiser
October 11, 2012 9:59 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The new tumor-detecting bra was capable of identifying 92.1 percent of tumors correctly
Women could soon
check for breast cancer
24 hours a day, right out in public -- and no, fellas,
via physical examination.
A new bra can detect
cancerous tumors
in the breast long before the traditional mammogram screening can. The bra is called the Breast Tissue Screening Bra and was developed by First Warning Systems.
Women can wear the bra just like a normal one they'd buy from the store. It fits comfortable under everyday clothing and looks like a normal bra, but it certainly doesn't act like a normal bra.
It checks for tumors in the breast by measuring small changes in skin temperature over time that can indicate a tumor. A sensor in the front of the bra collects this data and sends it to the Internet, where the user can view results daily.
According to tests, which included over three clinical trials, the new tumor-detecting bra was capable of identifying 92.1 percent of tumors correctly. A traditional mammogram only has an accuracy of about 70 percent. Furthermore, the new bra can detect a tumor as many as six years before a mammogram can.
First Warning Systems is looking to commercialize the bra in Europe in 2013 and hopefully in the U.S. in 2014, depending on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. A bra like this could not only
detect tumors early
enough for treatment, but also reduce the number of false positives and avoid unnecessary treatment.
Check out a video of how the bra works here:

Bos·ton Lone·ly n. - An overly idealistic, formulaic, and by-the-books band that is futilely trying to get signed while having three overly zealous members, a horrendous lead singer, and an array of poorly constructed songs. They are currently on "tour" and are expected to disband within two years. All members are also hopelessly delusional. This is the kind of trash that ruins our Berklee School of Music.
"Boston Lonely" is an appropriate name, for members of said band will be lonely for a great amount of time.
by Berklee students against Boston Lonely June 06, 2006
The greatest f***ing rock band ever to come out of Berklee College of Music. They rock so hard, it will literally make your butt hurt.
I believe the other definition should be by 'Berklee STUDENT Against Boston Lonely' because you're the only one. Everybody else loves those guys.

Thank You VZ.
I have a US made barrel for my RPD kit that has no extractor relief cut. Looks like it will be tricky to recreate.
It is already pressed in (so pics and measurements are difficult)but the cut is 12mm wide and it is curved.
It looks like a concave shell mill was used to notch it.
Looking at the picture, think of moving right to left across the extractor cut, as you start moving it bulges out towards you then recedes back.
Looking closer I see that is is curved to make sure the case head is supported. If it was cut with a square end mill the curve of the chamber would cause a "v" across the extractor notch and thus an unsupported case.
Thank You VZ.
I have a US made barrel for my RPD kit that has no extractor relief cut. Looks like it will be tricky to recreate.
you might have to go with several 1/8" cuts , rotating the barrel after every cut. What I would do would be square end mill it until the center is close to the rear of the chamber. Then 1/8 either side then file and dremel.
The whole bottom edge at the chamber is almost knife edge thin.
Hit my first snag. The bolt is about .010" too high. Perhaps teh material comes off the lower portion of the rail. Will look into it more tomorrow.
Pirate had a build sequence that showed the amount of material had had to come off the bottom of the bolt to make it ride correctly.This was on a Wiselite receiver, not a DSA; they may be different! That info has for some reason, gone away from his site! Good luck on your build!

yeah I saw that but the plans for the DSA said top. I contacted Pirate but he is too busy to assist. I found a burr/twist at the back of the receiver, One bolt I have fits the other doesnt.
hey VZ58, have you shaped and clearanced the ejector yet? the bolt will hit the ejector just before it goes into battery....if you have a factory rec piece with the ejector in it look at the differences between the two, otherwise metal needs to come off of the backside opposite of the face(case contact side)....height should be fine
if ya need a pic LMK
What is the Vector FCG like? I always heard you had to replace the buttstock for theirs.
The Height of the carrier matters a good bit. Make sure the bolt can strip a round from the belt, the gas piston can go all the way and the roller on the top of the carrier is riding in the top cover right.
Wish I could help, my parts might be different but if you need a measurement I can get them.

You can help students of ornithology! The Student Affairs Committees of the American Ornithologists' Union and Cooper Ornithological Society organize student-centered and student-run events at our annual meetings, including workshops (on topics ranging from grant writing to data analysis techniques), social events to help students connect with professionals, and the ever-popular Quiz Bowl. To hold these events, we need funding! Our most important fundraising event is the annual silent auction. Generous society members and businesses donate items ranging from radio transmitters to jewelry to books. If you would like to donate an item, please contact Stephanie Wright. All proceeds from the sale of these items go to supporting future student events at our annual meetings. While at the meeting, please stop by to peruse the available goods and services and... don't forget to place a bid!
This informal social event will provide an opportunity for students to meet and discuss common research interests with professionals in their field. Academic and non-academic professionals from a diversity of research backgrounds will be in attendance. Students are invited to casually move between tables throughout the event as they wish. Dinner and drinks will be served. This social will immediately be followed by the Quiz Bowl. Registration is free and open to students on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited. For additional information and to RSVP, please email SPDinner.
Because the Quiz Bowl continues to grow in popularity, we are continuing with last year's format to allow for more teams. Teams of three will be invited to compete in an initial round of "pub-style" trivia, wherein any member of the audience can form a team and participate. We will ask questions of the entire audience, who will write down their answers and submit them. After three rounds of pub-style trivia, the top three teams will compete in a Jeopardy-style round for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The only requirements for participating are that you show up, grab a team score sheet, and have a fun/unique team name! Everyone is encouraged to participate, but only student teams can advance to the final round and win prizes. Please contact Nick Mason or Nick Block for further details.
In the spirit of the Entomological Society of America's very successful video contest, the Joint Student Affairs Committee and the conference Local Organizing Committee are sponsoring a similar contest for the AOU/COS 2013 meeting. The purpose of this contest is to give society members a chance to exhibit their research and creativity through video.
Members may submit entries in three different categories:
- Research (showcase what you work on!)
- Instructional (based on teaching a particular ornithological concept)
- Open (anything ornithological goes!)
The rules for the video contest are:
- The maximum allowed length of the video is 3 minutes. This will be strictly enforced!
- The videos can absolutely be collaborative endeavors.
- At least one person submitting the video must be an AOU or COS member.
- Videos can be "old" - the date of their production does not matter.
- This event is NOT limited to students, but student submissions are strongly encouraged.
- Contestants may submit up to one video per category.
- Judges retain the right to reassign videos to a different category if deemed appropriate.
- Videos must be submitted by 11:59 PM (CDT), August 4th.
All videos will be displayed on a dedicated YouTube channel, and the winning entries will be on display at the conference banquet. The judging format is still to be determined; but may be voted on by conference attendees.
Winners from each category will receive a trophy and other prizes!
To submit a video in the contest, send your video to Nick Block (email@example.com) using an online file sharing site such as YouSendIt, Ge.tt, or Dropbox. If your video is already on YouTube, please email the link to Nick. Along with the video, you must email Nick the video's title, description, and category. All file formats that are compatible with YouTube will be accepted.
The deadline is Sunday, August 4th. Please email Nick Block with any questions.
OSTRICH UPROAR run
The 28th running of AOU's traditional 5km race will take place. Contact Trevor Price for details. Be sure to sign up at registration!

Soccer teams in England
From Conservapedia
(Redirected from Aston Villa F.C)
In England, the game of soccer is known as football, as in most parts of the world, and it is organized into four professional leagues at the apex of a pyramid of semi-professional and amateur leagues. There are 92 professional teams and innumerable semi-pro and amateur sides. The four professional leagues comprise the Premier League (20 teams), the Championship, League One and League Two (24 teams each). Below League Two, the Conference league provides a stepping-stone for semi-pro sides to gain promotion to the professional leagues.
English soccer teams typically call themselves a "football club" (F.C.).
Premier League teams
- Arsenal F.C. is based in north London. The team is managed by Arsene Wenger. Finishing fourth in the English Premier League in the 2006/7 season, the team features major international stars of football. Former star Thierry Henry has recently left the team after eight years of huge success, departing to Barcelona in the summer of 2007. In 2006 the team moved from their old stadium, Arsenal Stadium, located in, and more commonly known as Highbury. The team's new stadium is named after the Dubai airline and sponsor, Emirates.
- Aston Villa F.C. is based in Aston, Birmingham, in the English Midlands. One of the 12 founder members of the Football League. Currently coached by Gérard Houllier. They finished the 2006/7 season in 11th position in the English Premier League.
- Blackburn Rovers F.C. is an English football team that play in the Premiership . The club hails from the town of Blackburn in Lancashire. Formed in 1875, Rovers were one of the 12 founding members of the Football League. They have won the league championship a total of 3 times and were 1994-5 Premiership champions, in addition they have won the F.A. Cup 6 times and the League Cup once. Blackburn's current manager is Steve Kean. Their home stadium is Ewood Park.[1]

- Everton F.C. is based in Liverpool. Founded in 1878 as a church sports side they were became of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888. However, owing to a rent dispute in 1892 they left their home ground of Anfield and moved to a new site at Goodison Park, where they have played ever since. There are plans under discussion to move outside the city of Liverpool and establish a new ground over a Tesco supermarket in nearby Knowsley. The club's nickname is The Toffees; although there are several hypotheses about how the name arose it is likely that it derives from the black and white striped, toffee filled, candy known as an Everton Mint. Everton's biggest rivals are Liverpool who were formed in 1892 to utilise the abandoned Anfield ground. Despite Everton's successes over the years they have been overshadowed by their illustrious neighbours who hold the records for the most top flight championships as well as European trophies won in the English game.

The club was founded after a dispute between the owner of the Anfield Road Ground, John Houlding, and the team that was the tenant, Everton FC. Everton built and occupied their own ground, Goodison Park, leaving Houlding with an unproductive and vacant Anfield. Houlding began Liverpool F.C. to utilize his asset. The Club's first ever manager was an Irishman, John Mckenna. McKenna brought in a lot of players to the club, many of them from Scotland. Under his supervision it was promoted twice: first from the Lancaster League to the Second division, and then from the second to first divisions. He also worked with Houlding to develop Anfield and expand its capacity. The club won its first League title in 1900-01.

- Wigan Athletic F.C. is based in the northwestern town of Wigan, Lancashire (now part of Greater Manchester). The club's nickname is The Latics. The club was founded in 1932 after several unsuccessful attempts to run a soccer club in a town where Rugby League is the most popular sport. After playing in the minor leagues for many years, Wigan gained entry to the old Fourth Division of the Football League in 1978 and promoted to the Third Division in 1982. In 1993 they were relegated to the lower league and were bought in 1995 by David Whelan, an ambitious local millionaire who had made his fortune selling sportswear. Two years later, in 1997, they were promoted back to third-tier football and within six years had secured a further step up the second tier. It took only a further two years for them to complete a remarkable progression from fourth-tier to top-tier, when they were promoted to the Premier League in 2005. The club play at the JJB Stadium which they share with Rugby League club Wigan Warriors (also owned by Devid Whelan). The stadium was built in 1999 and named after Whelan's sportswear chain JJB Sports. The club continues to struggle for support and its highest ever home attendance is 25,000 for visitors Liverpool in February 2006. After raising ticket prices in 2006 Wigan had to cut them in response to falling attendances and have kept them low at a time when almost all other Premier League clubs were making significant increases. After a poor 2006-7 season in which they just managed to avoid relegation, their manager Paul Jewell resigned and was replaced by Chris Hutchings.

Awesome stuff, thanks.
I'm liking how you got lost, though that might have been a bit stressful since there was a time limit, I really enjoy being able to take my time with games - so I think that's great news for the wide linear maps we've been hearing about.
So wait, there's a timer? I hope not. I always hated playing games like that, unless it makes sense in the specific scenario. I loved Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu for the PS2, but hated how EVERY mission was timer based. That got very annoying, very quickly. If it's something in The Last of Us, like, there's a timer to get to a bridge before it closes completely, then I could see it. But again, please no.

And i never thought that my left front frame horn couldve been replaced.... well apparently it was, and when it was replaced, it seem they cut about 1/2" extra off before welding the replacement horn back on, which is weird because my stock bumper sat just fine... its really not too much of a setback, since this is a CUSTOM bumper, but id rather everything be even on both sides just for easier measurements. this is after I used some leftover rustoleum bed spray on the front frame to keep rust from attacking my fresh new cuts... thats all i got done for my first weekend... near future plans: 1) make sure frame ends are even 2) find some 1/2" sheet steel to weld into my frame horns to cap them off, and provide a solid mounting point for my bumper 3) cap ends of main tube
