Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I agree! Don't do it you don't want to. I do not like mystey quilts either. I want to know ahead of time what I am working on.
I think it will be a 20 block quilt with a portion of each block "bargello" and the triangles will fit in the corners of each block like a "photo" frame. (Just using my imagination!) I'd go dark to light in some colors you like, 2 of each size (adding 1/4" each strip set) from 1.5 to 2.75. The strips would be sewn together like a strip quilt, then the "super, duper template" used to cut whatever to sew to the block. LOL! I'm becoming intriged! It might be fun!
Ok, failed to read revised directions that only has you cutting 4 background blocks, so can't be 20 blocks.

fI did the McCalls mystery quilt this year, and for the most part happy with it. There is just one block that I would have used a different fabric but it is still a pretty (red) quilt. Am going to do it again as I like the pattern, but will be picking colors a bit better.
This sounds something like a workshop we had. We made baskets out of our fabric. I think it was called bodacious baskets. check this out: http://www.didiquilts.com/workshops.htm We did the multicolored baskets. Good luck.
Sorry---double post. This iPad is so touchy! lol

I have no suggestions for you. I don't like mystery quilts. I like to know what I'm making. Surprises are not my firend. lol I will be interested to see what you make. Good luck!
Very curious to see what you make, if you participate. I am too visual for mystery anything...lol.
I think I would just pass on it, and go have some chocolate
I'm with Sandy I hee, hee............
Think that's THE BEST suggestion yet!!
Well, I don't have any chocolate on hand... I do have some wonderful white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, though.
I will go watch. All kidding aside, I feel like I'm coming down with something and hope it's a passing thing but my immune system isn't what it used to be and it takes forever to get over stuff. Then again, it could be due to this "I can't get rid of it" gout thing going on taking it's toll.
Mom has to go "feed the vampires" sometime before her next doctor appt on the 17th and since the meeting place is halfway between home and the dr office, if it gets hairy or scary, I'm voting for an early exit to go visit the vampires. Cheesecake waiting when I get home as a reward for at least sticking my head in the door.

Who'd be Anne Hathaway right now? Sure, the recent Oscar and Golden Globe wins must feel pretty good. And she has money like most of us can't even imagine, plus an adoring new husband. But, in case you somehow hadn't noticed, the Les Miserables actress is also the victim of a baseless and irrepressible tidal wave of hate. Wave upon wave of it, playing out on the snarky grounds of the internet playground.
To wit: the search terms 'Anne Hathaway annoying' return more than five million results. 'Anne Hathaway hate' - at the time of writing - offer up 305 million. The headlines don't mince words, each of them a variation on: I Don't Much Care For Anne Hathaway (Crushable.com); Anne Hathaway Is Socially Awkward And Annoying (LoveandKnuckles.com); Anne Hathaway's Most Annoying Award Season Moments! (Toofab.com); Anne Hathaway Finally Understands How Annoying She Is (Opposingviews.com). During her Oscars acceptance speech (more on that later) Hathaway trended on Twitter, but it wasn't glowing praise for her win - it was a 140-character chorus of 'She's soooooo annoying'.
Check out our Anne Hathaway gallery - do these pictures grind your gears?
'Hathahate' is a curious thing precisely because no one can quite pinpoint its cause. Back in December, Buzzfeed tried to figure it out with a list that included "Face full of mouth and teeth". In fact, many cite Hathaway's face as the crux of the issue. (Or her "messy mouth", as one friend put it.) Her gawky swan neck, cropped hair, and big, sad eyes - it all seems to make people want to shove their fists through a window.
"I'm sorry, I can't explain it... there's something about her that rubs me the wrong way," laments Crushable's Alexis Rhiannan. "Look at those dark beautiful eyes. I don't like them. Listen to her skinny beautiful words. I don't like them. Shut up. Shut up, Anne Hathaway."
Even academics have weighed in. Over at Salon, psychology professor Terry Pettijohn - who has extensively researched "actress preference" - claims that "When times are good, we prefer actresses with rounder faces. They convey these ideas of fun and youth." Hathaway, he says, has a "mature face" thanks to its slim, angular shape. Which "suggests she would be popular when times are more challenging."
If Hathaway's facial dimensions already irked her public on a subconscious level (although I'd need more convincing) then her recent award acceptance speeches were bound to be the tipping point of this PR nightmare. Brimming with faux surprise and scripted, saccharine anecdotes, they were delivered in gaspy, breathy, shuddery bursts. It was an actor acting, not reacting.
At the Golden Globes, she opened with: "Oh my God, this is happening" - the same cloying utterance she opened with two years prior as host of the 2011 Oscars. "Thank you for this lovely blunt object which I will forever more use as a weapon against self-doubt," she cooed two years later, as viewers collectively flinched. At the Oscars, Hathaway gazed down at her trophy and whispered: "It came true!" - which was probably when her last remaining allies threw up their hands in surrender.
To hazard a guess, Hathaway grates so many people for equally numerous reasons, most of them projections that stem from our own prejudices or past experiences. She's the grown-up girl who kept her baby voice for way too long (surely we've all known one of those?) The class captain whose faux 'niceness' was a ploy to get you to vote for them. The teacher's pet who stayed in at lunchtimes to practice her handwriting. The aloof theatre kid whose affectedness made you want to dunk their head in the loo.
Or that girl you once knew who was always so goddam joyous, all the goddam time. As Sasha Weiss blogs in The New Yorker, there is something about girlish delight that disgusts, and is thought of as socially inappropriate, so that: "Little girls learn very quickly not to ask so openly for praise, and to modulate their excitement if they want to be acceptable." It's no coincidence models pout and glare, for example. Or that the women deemed sexy and desirable in Hollywood are the restrained ones, posing languidly in sleek dresses rather than jangling their limbs in naïve excitement.
Which begs the question: Does Hathahate embody a double standard? Juvenile male celebrities aren't ripped to shreds; they have "boyish charm". If Ryan Gosling got up and expressed unbridled joy over a win, in an actorly way or otherwise, would we grit our teeth or praise his sweetness?
Possibly we don't expect male celebrities to dampen their self-pride, because that would dampen their drive - or 'swagger' - which is sexy. For men. For women, undiluted self-pride evokes spite: Look at her - she's proud of winning. She's trying to cover it up; make out like she didn't know it was coming, but she is (proud), and she did (know it was coming).
Of course, some people love Hathaway. She's bright; she can act; she's strong-willed. "Ladies: Anne Hathaway is a feminist and she has amazing teeth. Let's save our bad attitudes for the ones who aren't advancing the cause," tweeted Lena Dunham. She's not wrong - when Hathaway was asked about her weight loss for Batman, she wittily turned it back on her interviewer. And when a photo of her vagina was taken and published, she called the incident an example of "a culture that commodifies sexuality of unwilling participants". That sort of talk takes guts.
Maybe Hathaway's mistake then was simply pretending she didn't expect to win. Which, ironically, she would have done with the sole purpose of making herself likeable. But that in itself is a crime; women should be naturally likeable, and utterly without pretence.
Any degree of fakery suggests an inner steeliness or agenda, which scares both boys and girls. Apparently, we want everyone to be like the perfectly imperfect Jennifer Lawrence, the winner of this year's Oscars popularity contest. Look, she's hungry; she watches trash TV; she tripped on the stairs - she's sassy and real, like us!
But who's to say that's not an act too? A cleverer one, if that were true (she has me in her awe) but it's not outside the realms of Hollywood-ish possibilities. Maybe the Hunger Games star just happens to have nailed a savvier sort of public seduction, one that feeds on the modern day desire for celebrities we can relate, as well as aspire, to.
At the very least, make no mistake: Hathaway and Lawrence have more in common with each other than either of them have with any of us. Both play a calculated game, because to get anywhere in Hollywood you need a serious game plan whoever you are. That's just the lay of the land. Whether people will applaud your arrival is a case apart.
Debate on this article is now closed.


text: Hey all - I'm new to the site and have recently purchased a 99 Chevy 1500 Suburban. I want to put some nerf bars (or similar) on it so its easier to get in. Will nerf bars for a 2000-2009 fit the 1999? I'm really not familiar with how they mount or how much modification would be need to get them to fit. I ask cause I can get my hands on a new set of SS ones for $100 but that are marked for the newer burb. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Connectivity is simply superb. In fact, we're fairly certain that - despite a few limitations - this is the best-connected ultraportable on the market. Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth 3.0 and 3G/mobile broadband (which Sony embarrassingly calls "everywair") take excellent care of the wireless side of things, though the latter is a £100 upgrade.
The laptop's left side houses a lone VGA video output, the front SDHC/XC and HG Duo card readers, while all the other connections are found to the right. These include a headphone input, Gigabit Ethernet port (of the thin flip-out variety that's becoming common on super-thin laptops), HDMI 1.4, a sleep-and-charge USB 2.0 port and USB 3.0 port – or at least, a connector that looks and works like USB 3.0, but is so much more than that. You see, it also integrates Intel's Light Peak, which is one of the most exciting things about this 13.1in laptop.
Now more popularly known as Thunderbolt, Light Peak is a super-fast (10GB/s), bi-directional universal interconnect that lets you daisy chain any number of devices - from monitors to external storage. The standard connector for this would appear to be DisplayPort (as found on the new Apple MacBook Air), but Sony being Sony, it has taken a slightly different route and made it use USB 3.0.
This does mean that many third-party devices may be incompatible, at least without the use of another adapter (if one even becomes available). Annoying as this is, if you regard the Z's Light Peak implementation as a proprietary way of hooking up the optional dock, there's little cause for frustration. You see, not only is the dock a thing of beauty, it brings a heck of a lot of features to the table.
Only slightly larger than a regular 2.5in external optical drive (which in fact it also is) and a mere 17mm thick, the grandly-named Power Media Dock not only offers you a choice of optical drives but also doubles the connectivity – and, best of all, adds dedicated graphics which turn the VAIO Z into one of the few ultraportable gaming machines on the market. That Sony managed to cram all this into such a slim enclosure is an impressive feat, to say the least. Of course, you would expect good engineering on an accessory costing £370 in its cheapest config.
And style is certainly not something it lacks. Sporting a complementary matt finish and streamlined angular lines to match the laptop it accompanies, it's a well-built device that's nice to hold and quite rugged. At the front we have a slot-loading optical drive with eject button. You get a choice of DVD-writer (£369), Blu-ray player (£419) or Blu-ray writer (£469).
Hidden behind a flap at the top (or side, depending on orientation) is a single USB 2.0 port, while the rear houses a second USB 2.0 port, USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and VGA. That makes it possible to connect the VAIO Z to two hardwired networks simultaneously, and gives it the ability to hook up no fewer than four monitors - the only mobile solution we're aware of to offer this without resorting to DisplayLink adapters such as the VillageTronic ViBook.
We'll discuss the performance benefits of the Radeon HD 6650M dedicated graphics in the performance section, but suffice to say for now that they make a dramatic difference and combine with the optional Blu-ray to make this little laptop a great entertainment all-rounder.

The majority of people in Turkey are not Kurdish, but there is a significant number who belong to that ethnic group. They have a distinctive language and culture which they regard as part of who they are as a people. The leader of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) was addressing the party's parliamentary group when a Turkish television cut the live broadcast because Ahmet Turk was speaking in the wrong language– Kurdish. Mr. Turk said he was speaking in Kurdish in recognition of the UN cultural body, UNESCO's International Mother Language Day which is designed to promote linguistic and cultural diversity. The television station, TRT, said that no other language other than Turkish could be used when making parliamentary speeches of group addresses.
A decade ago, a deputy from a pro-Kurdish party was jailed for speaking Kurdish in the parliament. Ironically, Turkey on January 1, 2009, established a TV channel which is entirely in Kurdish. How about a compromise agreement and make English the official language for all parliament discussions?

Paul Bunyan Extreme 5-K is July 13
Participants will find themselves faced with 16 obstacles and an uphill run when they hit the course of the Paul Bunyan Extreme 5K Saturday, July 13, at Ski Gull.
Despite the hill and the obstacles, race director Eric Anderson, of Brainerd, said the course is modeled after all the activities people enjoyed as kids - rope swings, slip and slides and mud pits.
He stressed that the course is for all abilities, ages 10 and up.
"You can get off the couch and do this race," Anderson said.
Challenges like this one have been in operation for four or five years, he said, though this is the first one at Ski Gull.
"I think it's popular because it's fun," Anderson said. "It sure beats running on a treadmill."
Individuals or teams can enter the race, and costumes are encouraged. Trophies will be awarded for winners of each category, including individual, team, and parent/child team. All finishers will receive a medal.
Teams can be made up of 2-8 people, and one team member must be 18 or older.
Contestants start the challenge by making their way through a giant mud pit. From there, it's up the hill to numerous other challenges- the dumpster dive, in which contestants swim through ice water from one end to the other of a large construction dumpster; sink or swing, which includes a rope swing into a mud pit and a horizontal rope climb; Paul Bunyan's boot, where participants will rope-climb up one side of a giant boot and go down a cargo net on the other; the black hole, an obstacle which will remain a mystery until race day; and many more.
Of all the obstacles, though, Anderson said the most difficult is Mother Nature's hills. While some take the race seriously, Anderson said, others can take their time and walk the hills if they wish.
Online registration is available until June 9 at paulbunyanextreme5k.com. After July 9, participants can sign up at the event but will not receive a free T-shirt. Races will be run every half hour from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the day of the race, and racers not pre-registered may have to wait a bit longer to race, Anderson said.
Registration prices range from $60-$65 for pre-registration and $70 the day of the race.
Spectators are also welcome. A beer garden and food will be available, and a trampoline will be on-site for children too young to participate in the race. Parking is $5.
Anderson recommends that spectators wear disposable clothes in case they change their minds and decide to take part, as the race will be hard to resist.

Yo, BelovID, did I twist your arm, and is it written in this thread that you have to post , no, I do not know you, and when I post I am not talking to you, I am convinced that BelovID and gR3Gh051 are forum bullies. I have both a PS3 and an xbox360 , the 360 has games freeze up twice as much as the PS3 yet it never gets a corrupted HDD nor does it have to restore the system file. On computers we can maintain our HDD with tools in the os, but if a program hangs you can always backout and fix it. Companies have been dealing with data corruption for years and have developed ways to avoid and prevent it , Sony did not give the PS3 all the necessary tools to deal with the issue, and for you to say that the cloud is all Sony can do, well lets just say your backwards way of thinking will lead you to your down fall. I know that once Sony take another good look at how data corruption happens on PS3 , they will do the right thing on PS3 and PS4, Sony has the ability because they are creative thinking problem solvers and I created this thread to catch there attention .
And yet here you are, doing the exact same thing that you THINK I am doing....
Regardless of what you think about me, I do stand by the fact that this is a FORUM..... an open medium by which people can collectively communitcate. I am always playing the devil's advocate card to see what you justification in such a thing is, if you even paid any attention to my previous comments about the topic at hand. It sometimes comes across as being a "troll" or "bully".
If you believe thats what I am doing, you have every right to report my posts as inflammatory and let the moderation team take care of it.
Without fully understanding the many ways data can become corrupted, it seems you think that data corruption lies wholly on the fault of Sony judging by your comparison to the X360. (Did you also know that the possible reason why the X360 doesnt succumb to data corruption easily is because of its proprietary hdd's and their programming? Especially when you consider that Sony has no input on the hdd's that are in the PS3's except the capacity of the drives and who gives them a better bid on supplying them with drives)
Sony doesn't pay as much attention as you lead yourself to believe so to have created a thread in order to do such is a waste of your energies. The better way to have gone about it would have been to directly contact an employee of Sony's gaming division by phone, email, written letter or all of them. A small number of them are active in this forum sometimes so you can send them a private message. Overall such activity on this forum is very sporatic for those individuals.
Im sure you could have gotten the names of those that are part of the PS4's development, from the Feb 20th conference and gotten their emails and sent them something since they'd have more influence.
If you wanted to make Sony aware of this "issue".... why not have actually stated such in your original thesis as its main subject, and not present a multi-faceted and open-ended question.
In some aspects, companies look to their fan/customer base for input, but when it comes to something like development of a console, like Sony has already stated, they looked primarily at developers shortly after the PS3's launch and progressively started its development
Like in Television, there are some aspects of entertainment that CAN'T be taken from the audience because the timeline for production/development is so far ahead, the audience's input is usually too late for anything to actually be done.
Take for instance, The Walking Dead (forget the fact of whether you actually watch it or not).
The final episode for the season had just been completed, and the commentary coming from the fans is such that really doesn't give any input into leading where the show takes the viewer because the episode was filmed something like MONTHS before it ever aired.
So to say that we actually have input on the PS4's development process, is a rather moot issue. The most they do is continue to play-test the console and learn the issues from internal testing to try and develop a new update or put towards the PS4.

If Sony had controllers with rapid fire it would help reduce the amount of cheaters because it would level the playing field.
This is incredibly, dumbfoundingly backwards thinking....
What part of you makes you think that doing such "levels the playing field" ?
If someone was cheating.... they wouldn't have to bother with "legit" players with this ANYWAY because the cheats they'd be using would not matter.
I suppose you also want people to have unlimited ammo because rapid fire goes through it quickly.....
By the way.... these controllers already exist and are from a 3rd Party. You don't have to worry about letting Sony know about this.
People who use rapid fire/modded controllers are already known as "cheap cheaters"..... do you really want Sony to be labled as the company that supports cheaters and hackers? Or how about when legit gamers complain about a rapid fire controller that they have to throw away because they're not cheaters, and then get mad at Sony for forcing them to buy a non-rapidfire controller?

I am not a less adaptive gamer, and I do not want them to make a hard game easier, " see, here we go with the personal shots at me", I am talking about gamer arm, I am talking about the way we have to mash the fire button when playing dead nation, because the smg runs out of bullets. capcom did it right in the new arcade cabinet, they gave us the ability to customize the buttons and select rapidfire on all of the games, it makes them fun and more ergonomic, better for my arms. The gaming experience has been diluted by companies that do not know how to apply trophies to there game or how to add replay value, rapidfire does not water down or dilute, it adds fun and replay value plus it reduces stress. You are approaching this topic with a narrow mind, I play call of duty daily , the people cheating are not using rapidfire, they exploit the mini map, the tac insert, they use lag switch, aim bot, they exploit the games ability to respawn the other team safely and they spawn trap. If Sony had controllers with rapid fire it would help reduce the amount of cheaters because it would level the playing field.
Taking shots at you? Don't be feeling special now. My post, the one you answered to, is meant for everybody who in anyway want to water down video games.
This is software based not hardware based. If in materializing his vision the game director includes a rapid fire/turbo mode option then, I would be fine with that for it is part of the game's experience. My problem is with a hardware base rapid fire or alike button.
The rest of your post is just blah blah.

|For the sidemission with the same name, see Karmageddon.
- "Toni, my son, compared to most of the degenerates in this town, you're a saint! The cars pump the Devil's bum gas into our children's lungs! They are defiling Eden! Go and show these sinners the error of their ways!"
- ― "Father" Ned
Karmageddon is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Liberty Tree news reporter Ned Burner from the Liberty City Cathedral in the Bedford Point district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Toni again drops by the cathedral and is greeted by Burner, who is posing as the local reverend. He tells Toni that the motorists of Liberty City pollute the air with 'the Devil's bum gas' and that he wants Toni to show them the error of their ways. Toni drives to the Fire Station in Belleville Park, steals a Firetruck and begins to cause havoc by attacking the motorists and pedestrians. After causing a certain amount of havoc, Toni destroys the Firetruck. A radio report then airs about the havoc on Staunton Island.
The havoc caused is a points-meter, with points given for:
- Running over pedestrians
- Knocking bikers off their motorcycles
- Flipping cars
- Causing cars to do a 180 degree spin
- Causing cars to do a 360 degree spin
- Destroying vehicles
- Smashing three vehicles in a row
- Sending a vehicle flying in the air
- Sinking a vehicle
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Steal the Firetruck
- Drive the firetruck around town causing as many pile-ups, crashes and acts of mayhem as possible
- Now destroy the Firetruck. Don't leave any evidence
The reward for completing the mission is $1,500. The Karmageddon side mission and the False Idols mission are unlocked.
Due to the side mission being unlocked the northernmost of the two fire trucks at the Staunton station will hereafter launch the Karmageddon side mission first, with the Firefighter mission available afterward.
- The mission's title is possibly inspired by Carmageddon, a controversial 1997 racing game where one of its goals was to brutally run over pedestrians for bonus points.
- Oddly Enough, A Hunter can be obtained in this mission. Simple go to the pyramids just in front of the police station. Stand on top of the tallest one and press the following button combination: L1, UP, SELECT, CROSS. If done correctly, you will hear a beeping sound. Next, drive to Kenji's Casino and walk up onto a helipad. A Hunter in Comprehensive Proof form will be waiting for you to take.

Raw: Happy Valley scrub fire
11:09 AM Thursday Feb 21, 2013
A large scrub fire in a Wellington suburb which threatened 30 houses and forced the evacuation of up to 70 residents was under control this morning. Fire Service assistant area manager for Wellington Brett Lockyer said the blaze overnight covered about 50 hectares in Happy Valley. About 30 houses had to be evacuated as the fire threatened to spread.

We've discussed the natural variation in cell-size found in the brood nest (hive bodies). I'm wondering if anyone has made observations about the uniformity/variation of cell-size in honey supers.
If the comb can't be used for brood, either because of an excluder or "honey cap" over the nest, how well do the bees follow the foundation pattern?
If so, is it effected by the "maturity" of the broodnest (meaning the bees have a full-size working broodnest that they are content with)?

Japanese singer-songwriter and producer Eiichi Ohtaki passed away at a hospital on Monday, December 30, 2013 after having collapsed at his Tokyo home while eating an apple, a piece which had apparently stuck in his throat causing him to choke. He was 65.
Ohtaki's influential contributions to Japanese pop and folk rock music worldwide could not be more legendary. Born on July 28, 1948, he was perhaps most famous for being the singer/guitarist and founding member of Happy End (pictured left above), a band he formed with fellow Japanese rock heavy hitters Takashi Matsumoto (Apryl Fool), Shigeru Suzuki and Haruomi Hosono (Apryl Fool/Yellow Magic Orchestra). From 1969 to 1972 the ensemble produced three studio albums that pioneered a highly revered heavy acid folk sound that made them Japan's most beloved and critically acclaimed classic rock bands of all time. More recently the ensemble won notoriety stateside when their song "Kaze wo Atusmete" was featured in the soundtrack for Sofia Coppola's 2003 film Lost In Translation.

Springs residents notice higher prices at the pump
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Average retail gasoline prices have risen about 20 cents in Colorado Springs in the past week to $3.00 per gallon for regular unleaded gas.
Dr. Fred Crowley, Senior Economist at University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that the recent snowstorms on the East Coast have increased the national demand for gasoline, driving prices higher across the country.
"Demand is actually rising. Anytime inventory supplies drop and demand increases, we also see the demand increase," Crowley said.
Crowley said the wholesale price for a barrel of gasoline has increased about 10 percent in the last month, which means a 20 to 30 cent increase for consumers.
Some gas stations in Colorado Springs have independently raised prices even higher. Regular gas cost $3.39 at the Conoco station at Garden of the Gods Road and Northpark Drive on Saturday -- nearly 40 cents above the city's average. Most of the stations in that area followed the same trend.
Crowley said stations that charge more may do so because of franchise decisions or to compete with the prices of nearby stations.
"That's a store by store decision," Crowley said. "Obviously, some stores will try to get a few cents more per gallon and others will try to make it up in volume with a little less."
For many people in Colorado Springs, it means shopping around for the best price.
"I hunt for the lowest price now, which I usually wouldn't do," said Colorado Springs resident Mitch Starkey. "I used to go to Shell all the time, now it's looking for the right price before I go somewhere."
Another Springs resident, Justin Steeves, told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that he always looks around for the lowest gas prices.
"We work hard and with gas going up it makes our business less and less and our business costs are more and more," Steeves said.
Though prices are higher in Colorado Springs this week, Crowley said the retail price is still low compared to the national average of $3.47 a gallon.
"Some of that has to do with the proximity to fuel, gasoline distribution and productions," Crowley said. "Some of the North Dakota activities, some of the refining capabilities in Wyoming and in Denver help us out."
Crowley also said prices will continue to rise this year, but will probably stay in the same range as last year. Allowing for inflation, that means gasoline is expected to be a little cheaper.
"Everything is pointing towards good things in the economy. It's not going to be booming, but it is growing and that increases the price of gasoline," Crowley said.

He's the guy who listens to Howard Stern because he hates him so much.
He hates politics...but every time it's brought up in this thread he jumps into the discussion expecting to shut people down or something, then when he realizes he's in over his head he gets all annoyed and blames us for killing the thread.
he also generally tends to do something like that fist bump thing, he thinks he's making a grand exit, "haha isnt this fist bump awesome, well enough of this" type thing but he doesn't realize how much **** like that fist bump bothers other people so he's not making a funny exit from the discussion he's actually lighting a fire...which was not what he intended so it takes him off guard and he gets angry :P
actually I'm surprised he didn't use the Rubio water thing, that **** pisses me off so much.
Its the new watergate scandal Daven!! lol The media is such ****,
She was on yesterday and was asked why this water bottle thing has become such a big deal and her answer was "because the media is a bunch of 14 year olds".
It means more coming from a left winger.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
most normal ppl dont care about that. i watched half of the rubio thing, and i'll cut the guy slack. you only have SO much time to prepare for a rebuttal of sorts, so soon after the SOTU. that said, he said the same rehashed **** that always comes out. obama said the same thigns he said in the campaign, and rubio said the same **** he said at the rnc.

The Last Windrow: A winter day on the Big Sioux River
I'm walking on the ice of the Big Sioux River. It's January and the winding river that separates Iowa from South Dakota gurgles under the ice and my five-buckle overshoes.
The ice should be thick enough to hold me, but I'm ever watchful of dark patches that indicate the current is not far below.
I carry a fish spear on the end of a 10-foot pole. I found the antique looking spear in our farm's machine shed. No one knew where it had come from and I guess that it was owned by either my grandfather or great-grandfather and that they might have used this five-tined piece of steel to secure a fish dinner or two in their time.
But, now the spear is being use by me in a quest for a fish of some sort. It might be a carp, a catfish or perhaps even an errant northern pike, which has been known to show up in these waters from time to time.
My cousin, Bob, follows me down the river and he, too, is careful where to place his weight. We know from fishing this stream in the summer time that there are places that are 20 feet deep and that if we go in, we would be in trouble.
But, that doesn't stop us for you see, January has become a rather boring month for those of us who live in the country. Not much happens on a farm in January that could be considered fun. Risking one's life by walking on a frozen river tends to make the heart beat a little faster.
In front of me in the snow I see a line of perfectly placed, roaming red fox tracks. The fox has evidently been looking for a fish meal as well. Its trail waddles from one side of the river to the other, pausing at every overturned snag.
I guess the fox has had dinner at such places from time to time when an unlucky rabbit or pheasant sought shelter there. The fox's trail winds to a high bank of the river where open water flows along the edge of the ice. A spring has evidently opened up the ice and this is where fish like to hang out.
Bob moves to the edge, testing the depth of the ice with the back end of his spear pole. It seems safe enough to hold a human. As he stands motionless at the edge of the water, I go upstream and start to tap on the ice with my spear handle as I move toward him.
Halfway to his Bob's position I see him throw his spear into the icy depths. The spear comes up with a good sized carp on the end. Bob yells, "Got one!" It is the only fish we will take today.
I'm walking back to where our car is parked. The snow crackles as Bob follows not 20 feet behind me. Just as we round the bend I hear a "sloosh" behind me and I stop to look back at Bob. He's standing very still just three feet from where a hole has opened up in our just-placed tracks and we can see dark water flowing south, back under the ice.
Both of us quick step to the shore, breathing a little faster as we go.
The earth feels good beneath our boots as we climb the steep incline. We stand for a minute and stare down at the hole that has opened up just behind our tracks.
"That might have been bad," Bob says without emotion.
"Yep, it could have been bad," I reply.
We toss the carp in the trunk and head his 1957 Mercury back east to our warm homes and supper.
That night, as I laid in my warm bed, I thought of that open hole in the Big Sioux River with our tracks on either edge of it. That could have been bad.
See you next time. Okay?

Starting Position: Stand facing a raised platform or a plyometric jump box. Place your right foot on the top of the step or box. Keep your left foot on the ground. Bend forward at the hips. Keep your right arm straight and behind you and your left arm bent and in front of you. Your head should be level and your gaze looking at a point on the ground two-to-three feet in front of you.
Upward phase: Jump straight up into the air by explosively pushing your right foot into the top of the box making your entire body straight. Imagine you are a rocket being launched. As you push off, swing your right arm up and in front of your body to help generate upward momentum. As you jump into the air, bring your left leg up to keep your feet level with each other and parallel with the floor.
Mid-air: While you are in the air adjust your legs to that you will land with your left foot on top of the platform and your right leg behind you on the floor.
Landing: The most important components of the landing phase are correct foot position and control of the forward movement in your knees. Excessive forward movement in the knees places additional stress on the joint. Try to land softly and quietly on the mid-foot, rolling into the heels. Always push your hips back and down to absorb the impact of landing. Do not lock out your knees on your landing. Land with your trunk slightly forward, head aligned with your spine and back rigid or flat. Keep your abdominal / core muscles engaged, bracing your torso to protect your spine.
Exercise Variation: When you are learning this exercise focus on the soft landing and reset your body in the correct position for the next jump and pause for a moment between jumps to ensure good form. As you improve, minimize the rest time so that you are rapidly moving from one jump to the next.

Gibbs, who averaged a double-double in two Roadrunners wins last week, is the first player to earn the league's weekly honor since Katie Sandefur on Jan. 23, 2006.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

text: I went through 4 (BIG) boxes of figure skating tapes and want to get rid of them. I have stuff from 1979 and up. I have some PAL format tapes if anyone is interested in them. I have World Championships, Olympics, many other random skating events including GPF, Grand Prix events, Pro skating comps, Canadian National's some US National coverage. Compilations of many different ice dancers (A&P, K&P, G&G, Navka & partners, L&A, D&L, C&S, D&V, F-P&M, M&L, Duchesnay's, W&L (German), D&S (France), L&T, B&A, etc etc, some pairs skaters (S&P, G&G and B&E) and some single skaters (Elvis, Baiul, Yamaguchi, Kerrigan, Cohen). I also have random skating compilations of the IMHO best of certain years. Almost all the compilations I did myself. I grouped the other tapes by years (1979-1994, 1995-1997, 1998, 1999-2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004-2005, and 2006-2008) and would prefer to get rid of them that way. Please respond if you are interested. I would prefer local pick up (I live near Hamilton) but if someone is willing to take on the cost of shipping, I can ship. Just know I have them grouped to roughly 20-30 tapes each. I also have professional videos Artistry on Ice, Magic Moments on Ice 2&3 etc that I am selling as a lot for $15. Otherwise, all of my tapes are free to a good home. All of them are in VHS. The PAL format tapes include a F-P&M and C&S compilation plus 2003 World's and Euorpean's (ice dance only). If you know someone who can convert, it is worth it for the thoroughness of Eurosport coverage.

"There's no truth to it," said Si Newhouse in a statement sent through a spokeswoman to wsj.com today, regarding the rumors that Anna Wintour is on the verge of being replaced by Carine Roitfeld as editor of Vogue. "This is the silliest rumor I ever heard."
Gawker wrote in an item earlier today—filed under the header "Rumormonger"—that Mr. Newhouse left for France early to seal a deal with Ms. Roitfeld.
So what does it mean that Mr. Newhouse released this statement? It means it's probably not going to happen all that soon! Mr. Newhouse very rarely delivers statements, even through his spokeswoman Maurie Perl, so the fact that he felt compelled (from Europe!) to take care of this is a rather strong vote of confidence for Ms. Wintour.
At least for the time being.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
He ocedrdoesd? Oh my god
Early in his career, Cowboys fans hotly debated Merriman vs Ware-- seeing how we passed on taking Merriman in the '05 draft and took Ware instead (Merriman going the very next pick to SD).
I'd like to say our fans were split down the middle, but it was probably more like 70%-30% in favor of Merriman, especially after his very strong 2006 season(although he had been busted for roids and served a 4 game suspension, he had 17 sacks in 12 games.)
Of course, the comparisons diminished the next year when Ware was the better player, and soon the comparisons completely died after Merriman's injury issues and Ware's 2008 season.
Luckily for us, we got the player Ware turned out to be. Still I definitely did not wish such a tragic fall for Merriman.
And, my, has he fallen.
but we had a similar thing. Chargers drafted Merriman with a pick they got from us for the Eli-Rivers deal.
A lot of Giants fans for a while said we should of kept the pick and we could of gotten Merriman and Rivers early in their careers.
Even the most fail to accept the fact that we would o fnever drafted Merriman even we had the pick

Last week, on the heels of anti-torture panels and protests in Portland, Washington DC, and elsewhere, the Justice Department told the nation that it would have to wait a few more days before information about American torture policies and practices is made public. The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, and other groups calling for increased accountability (any accountability at all, really) are hoping a CIA inspector general report will offer answers and help to galvanize public opinion about the treatment of terrorism suspects in American custody following September 11, 2001.
Meanwhile, the Senate passed a bill last week banning release of photos that show alleged detainee abuse. Anti-torture advocates say that government officials — including President Barack Obama — are publicly shying away from addressing the truths of torture: how it happened here, its ramifications (both practical and social-moral), and how to prevent it in the future.
"The president's notion that we can look forward without looking back is false," says Ben Wizner, an attorney with the ACLU's National Security Project. "It's a political decision predicated on the complacency of progressives who care about rule of law," Wizner continues, referring to people who voted for Obama and are likely to care about this issue, yet haven't spoken up loud enough. "If we don't make clear that this is a top priority, then this message will not be heard."
Wizner, along with three other activists, spoke at the First Parish Church last week as part of National Torture Awareness Month.
Pushing for accountability — namely, a "commission of inquiry" charged with addressing torture practices — "really has to do with my grandkids," Reverend Richard Kilmer, executive director of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, said in an interview before the event. "I want them to grow up in a country that does not torture. The past is very necessary to understand ... so that this does not happen again."
Kilmer, along with Wizner, author and former US interrogator Matthew Alexander, and Tom Parker of Amnesty International, all agree that the Obama administration is not looking hard enough at the torture practices signed off on and perpetrated by American officials and soldiers. They support the creation of an independent commission, not only to prosecute soldiers who violated the Geneva Conventions, but also to publicly acknowledge that those violations took place.
"Laws are meaningless unless they're enforced," Parker said, pointing out that prosecution (of those who tortured, and of those who allowed or instructed them to) is "only one piece" of accountability.
Such a commission would "set the example that torture is not tolerated within the American military," Alexander said — which he believes would lead to a sharp decrease in terrorist recruitment.
While the president isn't yet amenable to the idea of such a commission, Kilmer has not lost hope. He and other religious leaders, including Eric Smith of the Maine Council of Churches, met in early June with White House officials. By the time they left, they'd scheduled future appointments. "If they had no interest in having their minds changed, that wouldn't have happened," Kilmer said.
Voters in Maine, Parker added, are uniquely positioned to make an impact on this issue, given that one of our moderate Republican senators, Olympia Snowe, sits on the US Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence, and the other, Susan Collins, sits on the Armed Services Committee.

According to article 2 from the convention concerning the Protection of the World Natural Heritage and the criteria and conditions of integrity regarding the registration of natural property in the World Heritage List (n°s 43, 44), the Portuguese dinosaur tracksites in question are seen as a whole of locations of exceptional geological and palaeontological interest as well as of global value from the scientific, didactic and patrimonial point of view, due to several issues.
- The preserved fossils (the most relevant traces of dinosaur locomotion of Portugal's fossil record).
- The singularity of the occurrences (these are dinosaur tracksites with enormous areas which reveal evidence of gregarious behaviour between the dinosaurs and where tracks can be observed for several metres. These tracks are made up of well preserved hand- and footprints, which reveal the morphology of the dinosaur's limbs extremities that created these tracks.
- Contribute to the knowledge of the dinosaur evolution from the most remote times of this group (taking into account the dinosaur Middle Jurassic tracksites), its locomotion and its behaviour.
- The geological and stratigraphic setting that allows an interpretation of the paleoenvironmental conditions when these traces where created.
- Its favoured location and easy accessibility make it possible to teach and show Palaeontology, as well as other aspects of Earth sciences in their original geological context, to children from different school levels and to a broad public with different scientific backgrounds.
The attempt (in some cases already achieved) to turn these three dinosaur tracksites into out-door museums, through the attribution of a social function, is to ensure the divulgation and preservation of these areas, frequently threaten by several economical activities (although they are classified as natural monuments or as a place of municipal interest).
Two of these sites have on-going projects of turning them into open air museums and to give them the necessary conditions to be interpreted and enjoyed by the large public. At Galinha tracksite one project is already established and the practical experience gathered along 10 years is a guaranty for the scientific communication potentialities of places like this and as the ability of attracting all kinds of public.
These tracksites are used, simultaneously, as a scientific investigation resource for the present and the future research and as a way to promote scientific culture as well as to attract the public to this heritage. This will lead to an effective development of the region, where these areas are included, by settling and improving the living conditions of the inhabitants.
It should be further noted that other relevant tracks are currently being studied with a view to the extension of this nomination.
Justification de la Valeur Universelle Exceptionelle
Galinha and Vale de Meios tracksites are the largest Middle Jurassic tracksites with exceptionally well preserved dinosaur trackways which yielded ample and uncommon paleobiological and paleoecological information in an early time of its evolution. At Galinha tracksite were identified some of the best preserved sauropod pes (foot) and manus (hand) prints with unique morphologies suggesting new ichnotaxa and allowing trackmakers identification. At Vale de Meios were recognized and described dozens of parallel theropod trackways with excellent preserved tridactyl footprints. The excellent state of preservation of the most of the footprints and the spectacular visual impact make Galinha tracksite and Vale de Meios tracksites privileged observation and interpretation point of Middle Jurassic dinosaur trackways. Pedra da Mua tracksite reveals Upper Jurassic sauropod (herbivorous and quadrupedal) as well as theropod (carnivorous and bipedal) trackways. Here well preserved sauropod pes prints with claw marks gives information about the pes morphology of these dinosaurs and the trackways allows interpretation of locomotion and behavior. Parallel sauropod trackways were identified at Pedra da Mua tracksite which reveals herd behaviour amongst seven small sauropods and between three larger animals. This was the first evidence of sauropod herd behaviour recognized in Europe and the best example between juvenilelsub adult animals. Evidence of limping gait in theropod and sauropod trackways is also an important contribution of Pedra da Mua tracksite. These dinosaur tracksites proposed to be part of the Portuguese Tentative List of Natural Heritage to the World Heritage List has long and well preserved sauropod and theropod trackways. The quantity and the quality of the prints allow us to explain to the public how life was in ancient times and turns these sites into a place of rare interest for the accomplishment of environmental education, promoting the respect for nature and natural heritage.
Déclarations d'authenticité et/ou d'intégrité
[vii] The dinosaur tracksites in question contain a group of key elements that allow an interpretation of each single tracksite as well as to establish paleobiological, paleoecological and paleoenvironmental correlations with comparable occurrences.
By establishing a correlation between the stratigraphic columns of the various tracksites, one can inferred about the space and time distribution of dinosaurs. From the interpretation of these dinosaur tracks and the osteological dinosaur remains known in Portugal one can draw a conclusion from the successive fauna that existed through times in a place that is today the western Portuguese margin.
[viii] Each dinosaur tracksite offers very complete palaeobiological and palaeo-environmental interpretations through the study of dinosaur traces and other palaeontological records of fauna and flora, as well as the study of the sedimentary rocks. All the palaeontological remains either from the tracksites or from the museum collections were the aim of scientific studies in the field of vertebrate palaeontology. These scientific studies were integrated in scientific projects approved by Portuguese competent entities and took place in credited laboratories.
The dinosaur tracksites that are proposed to be part of the Portuguese Tentative List of Natural Heritage to the World Heritage List, are classified under the protection of the Portuguese Legislation which is applicable to the Natural Heritage - Sera de Aire and Pedra da Mua are considered as Natural Monuments and Vale de Meios is in the process of classification and is already considered a place of municipal interest. Moreover these tracksites are included in Portuguese Natural Parks (Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros and Parque Natural da Arrabida). Each tracksite has defined a boundary that allows an adequate protection crucial to the maintenance of the tracksites aesthetic and also has an action plan and a management plan for each year.
The natural monument of the dinosaur tracks in the Serra de Aire (also known as Pedreira do Galinha) is classified as a natural monument since October 1996, through the "Decreto Regulamentar no 12/96 of 22 October".
The Pedra da Mua tracksite (at Cabo Espichel) is classified as a natural monument since May 1997, under the "Decreto Lei no 20 197 of 7 May".
Vale de Meios tracksite is classified as a real estate of municipal interest by the "Cimara Municipal de Santarem". Its classification as natural monument is in process. The boundaries of the areas in question were defined in a way to protect the values that led to the proposal of admittance to the Worlds Heritage List.
Comparaison avec d'autres biens similaires
In other European countries there are many places with dinosaur tracks where the general public can observe them in their geological context, however not all are equipped with the structures that support the visitor in the interpretation of the geological and palaeontological occurrences. Some of these locations are places of easy access, situated along the coastal area (not necessarily by the beach) and the public can find footprints, which fell from the cliff as well as preserved footprints in situ (for example some places alongside the southern coast of the Island of Wight in the U.K.). In Oxford, in the United Kingdom, the Ardley quarry shows hundreds of Middle Jurassic sauropod and theropod trackways (a track record similar to the Serra d'Aire and Vale de Meios) but it has no public access, making it necessary to require permission to visit the grounds. Some other dinosaur track sites are associated to local museums and to guide tours which inform the visitors, as for example the cases of dinosaur track sites in La Rioja and Asturias in Spain, Lavini di Marco in Italy and the island of Skye in Scotland. A dinosaur track site with a similar project like the exomuseum of Serra d'Aire (Pedreira da Galinha) can be found in Munchehagen near Hanover in Germany: here dinosaur tracks are protected and integrated in an open air museum. There are dinosaur tracksites in Switzerland and France that also have the potential to be open air museums. However the exceptionality of the Portuguese dinosaur tracksites here proposed to be part of the Portuguese Tentative List of Natural Heritage to the World Heritage List, in regard to their characteristics and integration, confer them global singularity.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS1015640
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & KENMORE®.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Replacement of the arms is very simple, the bottom arm pulls out after turning it counter clockwise, no tool needed. The upper arms need the use of a nut driver or simlar tool to remove the hex screws holding them to the water supply tubes. The hardest part of the repair will be removing the top dish tray. This requires twisting the door slide end retainers outward to remove them and then the dish tray will slide out allowing easy removal of the arm. The top arm is mounted the body of unit.This problem would not have occurred if there was an inline filter on the cold side to filter out calcium (whole house filter). Another way to have corrected this without the purchase of parts would be to run the dishwasher on the rinse cycle 3 or 4 times using 1 cup of lime away on each rinse and also by removing the arms and soaking the arms in a 50/50 solution of water and lime away for 24 hours. This will break down the calicum and enable the arms to be cleaned using a garden hose. New parts however save time and labor in cleaning the arms, however the main drain and supply lines to the arms still need the rinsing prior to replacing the new parts.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
My dishwasher was doing a terrible job of cleaning. It was leaving food on dishes, and wasn't dissolving all the detergent. I replaced all the spray arms and the filter, as they seemed clogged, and god knows how old. It's a super easy repair, and the dishwasher now works as if it were brand new.
This was very easy. 1) roll out lower rack, 2) rotate lower arm slightly counter-clockwise and lift it out, 3) install new lower arm by dropping into position and rotating clockwise. 4) roll in lower rack, and roll out upper rack, 5) use a nut driver to remove the retaining bolt/screw from the upper arm - it's in the center of the upper arm and you have to work from underside of upper rack, 6) remover upper arm, 7) install new upper arm by holding in position and re-inserting the retaining bolt/screw. 8) Tighten the retaining screw and make sure upper arm freely rotates.
Unscrewed the screw holding it in place and removed it, out the new one in place and screwed it on. Very quick and simple.
I looked at the diagram on the web site, the same one that I ordered from, and figured out how all the parts were suppose to go together. The spray arm has 2 brackets so it was a matter of aligning the tube that feeds the spray arm with the supply line on the back of he dishwasher. I had to move it once to get it properly aligned but found it to be simple.
Took the old ones off and put the new ones in.My water has a lot of calcium and the spray arms clog.Second time in 3 years
change the nozzles and filter

Notable Oregonians: Will Vinton - Animator
Will Vinton was born in 1947 and grew up in McMinnville, Oregon. He enrolled at the University of California in Berkeley in the early 1970s to study architecture and physics. Fascinated by the fluid designs created initially in clay by Spanish sculptural architect Antonio Gaudi, Vinton began experimenting with a merger of clay and film.
After graduating with a degree in architecture, Vinton entered the world of film production, working as a director, cinematographer, sound technician, and editor on a variety of projects. His documentary, Gone for a Better Deal, captured the essence of student life in the San Francisco Bay Area during the Vietnam War.
In 1975, Closed Mondays, a film he co-created with Bob Gardiner, won the Academy Award for best animated film. Shortly thereafter, Vinton trademarked Claymation® (dimensional animation) and started the Will Vinton Studios production company.
Among other projects, Will Vinton is known for creating the "California Raisins" television commercial; "The PJs" television comedy, which took a satirical look at life in a big city housing project; and the "Gary & Mike" television comedy about suburban twenty-somethings on a road trip.
Vinton left Will Vinton Studios in 2003 after a dispute with the board of directors. Since 2004 he has given talks about animation history and the business of art as artist-in-residence at The Art Institute of Portland, a private school. He founded Will Vinton's Freewill Entertainment company, based in Portland, and has worked on several associated projects, including the short film, The Morning After. In 2005, Will Vinton Studios changed its name to Laika.

Discussion in 'Chevy Truck Accessories' started by RagsCo4, Dec 7, 2011.
It's good to hear someone here has experience with the procedure I was suggesting.
I like the idea PMF608 and I discussed that entails changing out the flasher module for something that's LED-compat. 35 bucks and 15 mins of time by the looks of it.
I can probably get my hands on a tech 2. ima look into that goes i agree i dont like having to mess with stock wiring
If your truck as a BCM you dont have a flasher module to change
Hrm. Options aside from programming?
Just resistors.
This isn't fully correct. The BCM is just the computer under the dash... the 2003-2007's have them, my 2001 had one... they've been around for a while. The difference is that the 2007+ trucks have a lot more things controlled by the BCM (signal lights among them). This is why on 2007+ vehicles, the turn signal sounds come from the radio instead of a flasher unit.
For 2007 classic trucks and older, there is still an actual flasher unit, so changing it out would be the way to go. For 2007 and newer, your choices are as sstoner911 said - either reprogram the BCM or put resistors in.
I only know a little bit about this, i replaced my tail light on my bmw with a custom one on created, if you are going to create your own LED light you will need to have a resistor or else you will burn out the LED prematurely. In order or solve the rapid flash(the one you get when a bulb dies) you will have to run a parallel circuit and have it omit as much volts that are needed as if you have a working light. Hope this helps
If you are designing your own LED circuits, then resistors in the circuits are essential to the functionality of the LED, but these are to not kill the light - they are different than load resistors. Load resistors simulate having the load of a filament bulb in the circuit to prevent hyperflash. The load resistors would be a lot easier than setting up a parallel circuit to simulate the load, but I personally wouldn't do either. I know BMW has had factory LEDs available on a lot of cars for years now, and many models have been programmable to get rid of the bulb check & hyperflash like the new trucks are for over a decade.
Side note... I think its always cool when someone does up their own custom lighting projects.... do you have any pictures of those lights?
Good point...I was strictly talking about the NNBS trucks, I should have been more clear
Separate names with a comma.

I have been reading (here and elsewhere) on mead, the fermentation process, etc
These may seem simple or obvious questions but I'm stuck on them:
Why do some recipes call for leaving must uncovered for day(s), and others say aeriate and cap right away? If the point of the aerobic process is to have the yeast multiple, why would one cover before they have 'taken over'?
Why do recipes call for nutrients (raisins, etc) and others dont?
Why are some of these recipes ready for consumption in a few weeks (these I found on some 'mead sites') and others take months?
Lastly, last night I had mixed the honey and water, cooked at 'appropriate' temperatures, and had yeast in little cup of warm water, gently waking them up, when a series of unfortunate events caused me to leave - then and there - for a couple hours. When I returned, the cup of warm yeasts had been put in the refigerator by well-meaning family members, so I dumped it in anyway (I had heard they go dormant as opposed to killed, but you know internet information...) They are reacting a bit now but not as expected or told they would. (no bubbles, but there is definitely [I]some[I] kind of pressure building as most of the water in the lock is on one side.)
So...should I wait and see, should I add more yeast, should I aeriate to allow greater build up, should I add one of those tablets that kills everything to prime the must for the yeast and then add more yeast, or should I forget it take up tennis instead?

'Lights On for safety' Friday before holidays
This holiday season, the Oregon State Police, Oregon State Sheriffs' Association and Oregon Association Chiefs of Police urge everyone to support their enforcement efforts and show zero tolerance for drunk and drugged driving.
Throughout December, law enforcement agencies around the country are stepping up enforcement efforts during a time when the excitement and celebrations of the holiday season can lead to terrible decisions and serious legal consequences.
Those decisions can impact lives of innocent people on the road, so on Friday, December 20, please remember those affected by an impaired driver whenever you see headlights on vehicles during daytime hours.
Every year since 1991 on the weekend preceding Christmas, the International Association of Chiefs of Police have organized "National Holiday Lifesaver Weekend," an effort to heighten public awareness and increase the apprehension of drunk and drugged drivers. Motorists are asked to turn on their headlights Friday for "National Lights on for Life" day, in remembrance of those who have been affected by an impaired driver.
To help save lives on our roads this holiday season, OSP and local law enforcement partners have been involved in a special "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" crackdown to stop impaired drivers beginning December 13, 2013, through January 1, 2014. Starting 12:01 a.m., Friday, December 20, through 11:59 p.m., Sunday, December 22, police officers nationwide and in Oregon will be stepping up these enforcement efforts for "National Holiday Lifesaver Weekend."
"Drunk driving is a killer on the roads all year round," said OSP Superintendent Richard Evans. "Sadly, the holiday season is particularly a dangerous time because more impaired drivers are behind the wheel of a vehicle. We ask everyone to take a stand now, plan ahead, and don't be the cause of a traffic crash that claims someone's life, or your own."
Because the Christmas holiday is on Wednesday, the official reporting period is 30 hours, starting 6:00 p.m., December 24, through 11:59 p.m., December 25. Last year in Oregon during a 102-hour Christmas holiday reporting period, three people died in 3 separate fatal traffic crashes on Oregon roads and OSP troopers reported 53 DUII arrests.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 32,000 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes across the nation in 2011, and 31 percent of those fatalities occurred in drunk-driving-related crashes. Last year in Oregon, 37 percent of crashes in which someone died involved an impaired driver.
OSP, OSSA, OACP and ODOT offer these simple but important safety tips:
* Have designated drivers. Plan to have sober drivers at your party who can help get folks home safely. Volunteer to be a sober driver at someone else's party.
* Plan to stay overnight. Make pre-arrangements to stay overnight at your friend's home or in a hotel room where you won't have to drive if you have been drinking.
* Monitor car keys. Collect your guests' car keys at the beginning of your event. Then, talk with your guests before they leave about the best transportation options for them.
* Be ready with a cab fare fund. Having available cash to pay cab fare for your guests if they need it reduces the stress on you. If you can't afford to pay for it yourself, ask your guests to pitch in a few bucks on your invitation. And keep phone numbers handy.
* Be responsible. If you are hosting a party, offer plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and help your guests be responsible. Don't let someone who has been drinking get behind the wheel.
* Walking or bicycling after dark? Wear bright clothes to help you stand out.
* Buckle up, every trip, every time.
* Drive defensively at all times.
Another way to show zero tolerance for impaired driving is to report impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1 or OSP at 1-800-24DRUNK (1-800-243-7865).
OSP and ODOT also urge travelers to "Know Before You Go", monitoring media reports for weather forecasts and keeping up-to-date on road conditions at www.TripCheck.com. In addition to road and weather conditions, winter driving safety information and tips are also there to help keep you informed and safe on our roads during holiday and winter season travels.
More information regarding impaired driving and nationwide enforcement crackdown efforts is available on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website at:

NATIONAL JOURNALIST AND AUTHOR IS NEW TRUSTEE OF ROYAL ARMOURIES - Tuesday, 25 September 2012
Journalist, author and broadcaster Mark Urban has been appointed as a Trustee of the Royal Armouries for a four-year term.
Mark's long and colourful career has included working as defence correspondent for The Independent Newspaper from 1986 to 1990, covering the end of the Cold War and Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan – before joining the BBC as a reporter. He has worked as diplomatic editor for BBC Two's Newsnight since 1995.
Career highlights include covering international events such as the 1990 invasion of Iraq and subsequent Desert Storm campaign; the Oslo peace process in the Middle East; wars in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s; the attack on the World Trade Center in New York and its aftermath; plus the Coalition campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Arab Spring.
Mark took up his post earlier this month after being appointed by Jeremy Hunt, the former Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport.
Royal Armouries' Chairman Wes Paul said, "We are delighted to welcome Mark on board and I look forward to working with him. He has a wealth of experience and his skills will prove invaluable in helping us to promote the national collection of arms and armour to wider audiences, both at home and abroad."
Mark is also a best-selling author, writing several books on military matters – both current and historical.
Soviet Land Power appeared in 1985, followed by War in Afghanistan in 1987. He has focused on Napoleon's campaign in the Iberian Peninsula, the American War of Independence, and the role of the SAS in more recent conflicts in Northern Ireland and Iraq. His military history titles such as The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Codes, Rifles, and Generals have been best sellers.
Mark, who lives in London, said, "It is a real privilege to become a trustee of this hugely important collection. Since I have a passion for military history and national heritage, I very much hope that we can spread the word about the Royal Armouries' treasures while enhancing public access to them."
After reading International Relations at the London School of Economics, Mark held a Short Service Limited Commission with the Royal Tank Regiment during his gap year, and subsequently served four years in the Territorial Army. He holds no other public appointments.

text: Here is the Question. Say I wanted to start a colony from say a package in April in Nuc box 5 frame and say if everything worked out right in say 4 weeks give or take, Put an second 5 frame box on it. Then in say few weeks when it was full, pull the second box off and put queen in it. Then I should have two good nucs now right. Then let the two new boxes fill a second set of boxes. Wouldn't I not have 4 nucs with the addition of a couple of queens in the two new boxes. then let the 4 5 frame boxes grow into 2-3 5 frame boxes for the winter. If you understand what I am trying to say. thanks
