you could call green mountain and see what they have. They may have blanks if nothing else. You you would then need to get the flutes cut into the chamber... not sure where you would get that done.
Hey guys, I'm new here as you can tell from the post count. I have an Flemming registered HK sear. I'm involved in developing some hosts (guns I can install my sear into converting the guns into macheguns or submachineguns.
I'm looking to make a HK53 (a MP5 sized gun that shoots medium powered rifle rounds) and a HK 33 (a 16" barreled rifle that shoots medium powered rifle rounds) clone guns. I would like to make them in 5.45X39. The profile of the barrels can be converted to a HK profile from a AK-74 blank.
The builder said that "you would have to fit a ak74 barrel that doe's not have the extractor cut in the face." I would also think that with a roller locked delayed action, there is no need for a gas port.
Does anyone have any suggestions on who to talk to for these barrels or even a barrel blank? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind my post count is low to I have limited functions through the site. Thank you for your time.
you could call green mountain and see what they have. They may have blanks if nothing else. You you would then need to get the flutes cut into the chamber... not sure where you would get that done.
You definitely want a US made bbl, all the foreign made ones are chrome lined so that would be a major problem adapting them to the HK pattern. Headspace is another factor, on an AK headspace is set by how deep the bbl sits in the trunnion, on an HK the bolt butts against the rear of the bbl and headspace is set by chamber depth. Since you would most likely have to recut the chamber anyway, re-facing the rear to eliminate an extractor cut should not be a problem. Fluting is also gonna be a problem. Murray Urbach used to EDM cut them into his custom made bbls, but last I heard he retired and no longer does it.
The HK53 is one cool little gun. Always liked it, Gary Johnston had a write up on them back in the day when his department SWAT team adopted them.
Thanks for the assistance guys. Cohaire is making a CA53AR pistol. It is a 53 clone that uses AR-15/M16 mags instead of HK mags. It is great for me. I'm originally a AR guy and have piles of AR mags including five Beta C mags.
I have a modified HK 33 kit with a HK 53 bolt/carrier assembly. I held off building the kit when I heard about the CA53AR. I'm gathering the parts for a 33 and a 53k. I was thinking that a 53 and 33 in 5.45X39 would be a lot of fun and cheap to shoot. C Products 5.45X39 AR mags sound like just the ticket. Now I just need the barrel. The builder is "ghilliebear2000" at HK Pro. I believe Jeff has a way to get the chamber "fluted". I just need to get the barrels. I don't believe he has a 5.45X39 chamber reamer. I certainly don't want to buy one for a couple of barrels. I need to find someone who can do the barrels. I have a Rim Country Machine HK 53 barrel in 5.56X45 to go by. Jeff said he could modify a 5.56X45 bolt and extractor to be used with a 5.45X39 barrel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Yes, that would be a "piece of cake" if I could use a 9mm bolt. But the pistol caliber trunnion and the mid power rifle caliber trunnions are different. I'll need to have a 5.56X45 bolt and extractor opened up to the 5.45X39 base. I would love to use a 9mm parts, I don't know if the pistol caliber bolt and trunnion would take the extra force of a mid power rifle round very long. I do appreciate you pointing that out though.
Question-is your sear multi-caliber? I thought that you had to stick with the caliber the sear was registered in?
funny i had this same idea for a hk33 in 5.45x39. Im not too sure a fluted chamber would be necesarry bc the flutes are just to help extract brass cases when they expand right? steel case 5.45 rounds wouldnt expand as much. i heard from another source that the chamber flutes are just to allow gases to flow by from the blowback operation so the chamber doesnt get gummed up as quick but these are just things ive heard so a fluted chamber may not be needed. feel free to correct me as i dont know too much about hk's

Photoderm MAX Cream SPF 100 is nearly identical to Bioderma's Photoderm MAX Cream SPF 50. The higher SPF rating here doesn't get you better protection, just longer protection. You still need to reapply every couple hours if you're in direct sun and after swimming, perspiring, or toweling off. See More Info to learn of the greater risk of irritation presented by sunscreens with ultra-high SPF ratings.
Otherwise, this fragrance-free sunscreen, which can be used on the face or body, provides broad-spectrum protection and reliable UVA screening (critical for anti-aging benefits) from avobenzone (listed as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) and two types of Tinosorb (listed as methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine). Tinosorb is a UVA-protecting sunscreen ingredient approved for use throughout Europe, but not yet in the United States—although why it's not approved in the United States is a good question, as it's been safely used for years in many other parts of the world. Technically, Bioderma shouldn't sell it in the United States, but, in this case, flying under the radar isn't a bad thing for your skin.
The light cream texture for normal to dry skin is easy to apply, but you don't get much else beyond the sun protection. Although the formula contains antioxidants, they're listed after the skin irritant denatured alcohol, so their benefit for skin is likely negligible. We doubt the amount of alcohol is high enough to be cause for concern, but it could increase the sensitizing potential of the sunscreen ingredients.
It is worth mentioning that mineral-based sunscreens, which contain only titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, pose minimal risk of irritation. On the other hand, sunscreens that contain synthetic sunscreen ingredients do pose a risk of irritation. This is especially true as the SPF number increases because it requires more of those ingredients to reach the higher SPF rating. Sunscreens with synthetic actives can be a problem especially for use around the eyes or if you have sensitive skin. Irritation from synthetic active ingredients (such as avobenzone, homosalate, oxybenzone, or octinoxate) won't happen to everyone; rather, it's a potential issue to pay attention to when applying sunscreens in general, but in particular those with high SPF ratings.
The maximum anti-UVB efficacy and unmatched "extreme anti-UVA" performance of Photoderm MAX Cream safely protect against sunburn, prevent sun intolerance reactions and combat premature cutaneous ageing.
Water (Aqua), Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Octocrylene, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Cyclomethicone, Alcohol Denat., C20-22 Alkyl Phosphate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, PTFE, C20-22 Alcohols, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ectoin, Mannitol, Xylitol, Rhamnose, Fructooligosaccharides, Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract, Decyl Glucoside, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben.
Strengths: Bioderma provides complete product ingredient lists on their site; some very good, fragrance-free facial cleansers; every sunscreen provides sufficient broad-spectrum protection, and most are fragrance-free; a few good mattifying products for oily skin; great prices.
Weaknesses: The endless array of moisturizers are ordinary; the claims don't match what the formulas can actually do; repetitive sunscreen formulas; many of the sunscreens contain a potentially problematic amount of denatured alcohol; disappointing lightening products lacking ingredients that can lighten brown spots; the bronzing SPF products encourage tanning.
Bioderma is a European brand based in France and sold in 70 countries around the world, which explains why we get so many requests to review the brand!
According to information on their website, the team at Bioderma has been collaborating with dermatologists and "renowned international research centers" for over 20 years, all to bring you products that are "the most frequently prescribed by French dermatologists." Sounds impressive, but the proof is in the products, not the posturing!
Because Bioderma sells skin-care products, not pharmaceutical drug products, there's no "prescribing" involved—anyone can easily obtain Bioderma products, in stores or online, no doctor visit needed. The fact that French dermatologists recommend these products isn't proof of anything; lots of dermatologists around the world recommend products with problematic ingredients, sometimes because they simply don't know any better or are just as susceptible to the hype as anyone else, and sometimes because they are paid by the company to promote their products.
The Bioderma range is huge, but also hugely repetitive. Few brands offer as many cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens as Bioderma, yet the onslaught creates a lot of confusion, and the differences between many of these formulas are subtle to indistinguishable. There are some good products, but overall the formulas are lackluster. When shopping this line, you really have to choose carefully and not get too hung up on the various names and claims because often virtually the same product formula comes with different benefits on the label, again and again. And again.
Many people with sensitive skin ask us about Bioderma, perhaps because the company frequently mentions that their products are hypoallergenic. That term—"hypoallergenic"— is misleading, as explained below.
There are no accepted testing methods, ingredient restrictions, regulations, guidelines, rules, or procedures of any kind, anywhere in the world, for determining whether or not a product qualifies as being hypoallergenic. So, any company can label any product "hypoallergenic" because there is no regulation that says they can't, no matter what so-called evidence they may use to make their point—and what proof can they provide given there is no standard against which to measure?
Given that there are no regulations governing hypoallergenic products, we know there are plenty of products labeled "hypoallergenic" that actually contain problematic ingredients and that can indeed trigger allergic reactions, even for those with no previous history of skin sensitivity—and that's certainly true for many Bioderma products. We wish that weren't the case, but the word "hypoallergenic" gives you no reliable understanding of what you are or aren't putting on your skin (Sources: www.fda.gov; Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, May 2004, pages 325–327; and Ostomy and Wound Management, March 2003, pages 20–21).
That being said, we applaud Bioderma for avoiding the use of known sensitizing ingredients like peppermint, lavender, menthol, and all types of citrus, which unfortunately are rampant in the world of skin care. Many Bioderma products are also fragrance-free and in that sense are absolutely worth a look, whether sensitive skin is an issue or not. (Fragrance-free is best for all skin types.)
Despite the huge number of products, there are some surprising holes in the Bioderma line. For example, this isn't a line to shop if you're struggling with breakouts, there are no effective AHA or BHA exfoliants, the skin-lightening products have drawbacks that don't make them worth considering over better options, and you won't find advanced anti-aging formulations of any kind. You're in luck if you want lots of choices in cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens, but as mentioned above, there's a lot to wade through, and much of it is repetitive. We're all for brands offering choices for different skin types, concerns, and textures (such as gel versus lotion), but Bioderma's range simply isn't as varied as it is large. A large mix of relatively wishy-washy formulations is really not a plus for your skin.

What Can Education Workers, Students & Parents Do To Defend Public Education?
Initial Speakers:
Lenni Isenberg, UTLA teacher fighting Against LAUSD Rubber Rooms and Privatization
Jack Garson, Retired Oakland Education Association Teacher And Activist In Public Education Movement
Danny Weil, Former Teacher and Journalist of Truthout and Daily Censored on Privatization of Education
Madeline Mueller, Professor City College Of San Francisco
SF MLK Middle School UESF/SEIU 1021 Teachers and Staff
Over the last thirty years there has been a coordinated effort by rightwing ideologues and billionaires such as the Walmart family (Walton Foundation), Eli Broad (Broad Foundation) Bill Gates (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) Donald Fisher (Gap Foundation), Pearson Inc. to privatize the trillion dollar public education system in the US
through charters, common core testing, merit pay and legislation like "No Child Left Behind" and "Race To The Top".
This forum will address how this attack is taking place and how the NEA and AFT which represented nearly two million teachers have done to responded to these attacks.
The NEA and AFT have taken millions of dollars from these same foundations and have accepted the principle of charter schools being introduced into public education.
Has there been a national campaign against privatization and why not?
Has there been an effort to challenge the financial conflicts of interests by privatizers in Boards of Education and other governmental entities?
Have rank and file teachers been provided with a political education and facts and information on how their school/college superintendents, chancellors, regents and managers have implemented privatization tactics including online education and their financial conflicts of interest?
What can education workers, students and all public workers do to defend public education and all public services including fighting the re-segregation of education in the United States.

A collection of stunning short stories from the most acclaimed Science Fiction author of any generation. Arthur C Clarke is without question the world's best-known and most celebrated science fiction writer. His career, spanning more than sixty years, is one of unequalled success. Clarke has always been celebrated for his clear prophetic vision, which is fully on display in this audiobook, but there are also many stories which show his imagination in full flight, to the distant future and to far-flung star systems. The third volume in a collection of five.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"No humour please"
Clarke is fantastic when he takes us to new worlds, distant futures or ancient history seen in a new way. I simply love it. But it seems that in this third collection something new was introduced: humour. And it comes across as hoplessly nerdish - if I smile it is the overbearing smile you put on your face when the guy who desperately wants to be funny cracks another lame joke. Still I am going on to vil IV and hope Clarke is back on track!

Where we are planning on setting up our hives is exposed to the north wind. We want to put in a windbreak around the apiary, but we need some suggestions.
We live in Nebraska, on the border of zones four and five.
First goal: good windbreak
Second goal: something the bees would like to work
Third goal: if possible, we'd like something fruiting
Any ideas? I was looking at chokecherry, but the apiary is at the corner of a pasture. There will be fencing to keep animals out of the area, but I don't want dropped leaves to cause a problem for any sheep or possible cow in the future.

In 2003, a San Mateo nonprofit called Rebuilding Alliance received a small grant to help a Palestinian town build a school that would not be demolished. The Village of Al Aqaba in the West Bank had just won an important agreement mediated by the Israeli High Court - they were ready to build a kindergarten. Today the kindergarten serves 160 children from the entire district and has attracted the investment of some 20 embassies, UN agencies, and NGO's - all this despite demolition orders issued against nearly all the homes, the mosque, the medical clinic, and the kindergarten.
In the process of keeping Al Aqaba Village standing and thriving, Rebuilding Alliance has learned some important lessons, such as the best way to keep a family in their home and children in their school, and the best way to keep a village standing, is for Americans to call their Congressional Representative and Senators to request intervention on their behalf. This is all the more effective when Representatives have the support of people of all faiths and backgrounds. Come hear Donna Baranski-Walker, founder of Rebuilding Alliance, talk about why it works and how constituent calls to Congress make a difference.
Rebuilding Alliance is a coalition of people and groups around the world dedicated to helping war-torn neighborhoods rebuild, and promoting policy change to make them safe. They partner with Israeli and Palestinian NGO's to help Palestinian communities with "village-centered" rebuilding.
At the same time, the organization advocates for what their web site calls "a just and enduring peace in Israel and Palestine founded upon equal value, security, and opportunity for all."
Donna Baranski-Walker has been an advocate for justice as far back as 1981. With a degree in Electrical Engineering from MIT, her founding of Rebuilding Alliance had its genesis in 1996 with her efforts to link Palestinian, Israeli and Jordanian schools using computers.

|So comfortable, great sound, no music/gps directions is a killer for me.
User: Alex W, Nov 11, 2010
|I bout this headset on a kind of whim, knowing that I can return it and get all my money back. This would be the BEST bluetooth in the world if it could pair with a computer and use the technology to play music and directions. If the technology of the H17txt or a BlueAnt BT was in here, I would have it on my ear right now. But because I use the BT a lot for directions via navigator while driving, sometimes with passengers, I returned it. I have to have a headset that at least will read my directions in my ear while Im driving and not out loud. My 30$ samsung gave me directions, but no music. I was surprised when I found out this didnt support it. Like I said, this is a sweet headset, but not having A2DP killed it for me.
User: Brandi W, Dec 7, 2010
|It doesnt work. People said that I sounded like I was miles away. I thought spending more $ would mean it was better quality. Wrong.


text: hello, I'm shopping for an intake and I am seriously considering a k&n drop in filter with an upgraded resonator tube, or an AEM intake. I have some concerns though. How does the stock MAF sensor work with a open filter intake like the AEM? I have read some material that claims the benefits an open air intake like the AEM are negated by the MAF sensor. So basically, to get the most out of an open air intake (AEM) you need to upgrade the MAF sensor, add an additional o2 sensor and reprogram the computer. Is the k&n a better choice because of this? I have also seen that hydro-lock can be the cause of an open intake. I understand bypass valve can also prevent hydro-lock. Is the stock air box is designed to prevent hydro-lock? Finally I'm wondering who makes a good aftermarket resonator tube. 2000 Silverado 4.8L, 3 inch dynomax cat back exhaust I really appreciate any feedback. thanks Chevy life

Great Conversation! raises $234K for Honors College
By Omar Hernandez
Public Affairs Specialist
(March 3, 2009)--More than $234,000 was raised Feb. 24 for UTSA Honors College scholarships at Great Conversation! 2009. It was the most raised in the history of the event. Nearly 500 guests enjoyed good food and stimulating discussion led by community leaders and UTSA faculty members.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The Honors College relies on the funds generated by the event to provide critical scholarship support for its students. Established in 2002, the college's current enrollment is more than 700 students. Because of its rapid growth, the need for additional scholarship support is significant.
This year, in addition to the student scholarship fund, UTSA President Ricardo Romo was honored by several UTSA donors who established the Ricardo Romo Endowed Professorship. The professorship will provide financial support for an Honors College faculty member.
The Ricardo Romo Endowed Professorship donors include the San Antonio Express-News, Michael and Louise Burke, Bartell and Mollie Zachry, former Gov. Dolph Briscoe, Tim and Karen Hixon, Robert and Patricia Ayres, David Spencer, Spurs Sports and Entertainment, The John and Florence Newman Foundation, The McCombs Family Foundation, Tobin Endowment and Valero Energy Corp.
The event featured 62 tables with conversation leaders including Texas Monthly editor-in-chief Evan Smith speaking on the political landscape in Texas and beyond; Tanji Patton, local TV personality and executive producer and host of "Good Taste with Tanji," leading discussion on good wine, food and fun; and Harriett Romo, UTSA professor of sociology and director of the Mexico Center, leading discussion on "What makes a great teacher?"
Great Conversation! began as a lecture series under the leadership of Harriett Romo and a small group of community members. After a few lectures, they decided to change the format, keeping the interesting topics but adding interaction -- the participants engage in conversation and exchange observations and ideas -- all under the leadership of an expert. The present form of the event was born February 2001, bringing a new tradition to UTSA and San Antonio.

Obviously like the rest of you I have no idea what Reese will do in the draft, so here is what I am assuming our starting Defensive unit will look like on game 1:
DT- Cullen Jenkins
DT- Linval Joseph
DE- Justin Tuck
SLB- Keith Rivers
MLB- Dan Conner
WLB- J. Will
SS- Antrel Rolle
FS- Stevie Brown
(Will Hill coming in on 3S sets)
CNR- Prince
CNR- C. Web
I guess pretty easy except Kiwi's position change isnt certain, in which case I would switch him with Rivers and have Rivers split time with J Will. Also I have a feeling Corner will be a position of strength for us next year. My prediction: Prince gets better, Webby has a comeback year, Hosely plays aggressive nickle and Ross provides excellent depth at Dime.

The Best and Worst Foods To Eat Before Bed... & WHY!
You always hear how you shouldn't eat anything before bed. But there are some foods that HELP you sleep better, as well as a bunch that make it harder. Yahoo has a list of the five best and worst foods to eat before bed.
Here are the five best:
1. Cereal and milk. Obviously sugary cereals are bad. But a healthy combination of carbohydrates and protein helps your body produce hormones that will help you relax before bed.
2. Passion fruit. You can eat the raw fruit, or drink passion fruit juice or tea. It contains a chemical called somniferum, which helps bring on sleep.
3. Bananas. They have a lot of magnesium, which is a muscle relaxant. And the potassium can also help regulate sleep patterns.
4. Cherry juice. It has extremely high levels of melatonin, a chemical in the brain that helps you relax. A recent study in a journal of nutrition found that people who drank two glasses of cherry juice a day slept an average of 39 minutes longer than usual.
5. Warm milk. This one might have more to do with the fact that it's warm, as opposed to any chemicals in the milk. So non-caffeinated tea would work just as well, if you don't load it up with sugar.
And here are the five WORST:
1. High-protein foods. Too much protein will just give you a lot of energy, and keep you awake longer. Sleep experts recommend high-carb snacks under 200 calories instead.
2. Alcohol. A lot of people get sleepy when they drink. But it won't last. You'll tend to wake up earlier and sleep less deeply all night.
3. Fatty foods. These can cause heartburn or upset stomach after you lie down.
4. Spicy foods. Sometimes you can have NIGHTMARES after eating spicy foods.
And one study also found that people who ate spicy foods before bed tended to have higher body temperatures in the first part of the night, which caused them to wake up more.
5. Caffeine. Obviously caffeine is bad before you go to sleep. But some people don't know that it keeps working for up to ten hours.
So if you're serious about getting a good night's sleep, you have to avoid caffeine pretty much from lunch until bedtime.

Number of New Awards Anticipated: 40
Average Award: $500,000
Range of Awards: $200,000 - $700,000
Examples of Funded Program Abstracts
CT Parents Plus, Connecticut
CT Parents Plus, Connecticut's Parental Information and Resource Center has an overall goal of increasing the ability of schools and parents to work effectively as partners to support learning both at home and at school. The project, No Family Left Behind, is designed to help close the achievement gap between children from low-income families and those from more affluent backgrounds by serving the pressing needs of low-achieving students through a concerted, coordinated, holistic plan.
No Family Left Behind is a four-year project that will narrow the achievement gap by working with schools, families, and communities with the greatest need to improve understanding and support of learning and academic achievement from birth on. The project capitalizes on the strengths of CT Parents Plus's history and partnership with the Connecticut State Department of Education to provide high quality, coordinated services to parents who need information about how to help their children learn at home and to schools that want to maximize their relationships with the families they serve.
CT Parents Plus's activities are designed to help reach its goals include training teachers and parents regarding Connecticut's academic standards and assessments; coordinating with the Connecticut State Department of Education to improve the accuracy of interpretation of standards and assessment; training teachers and parents on communications skills; and increasing access to Parents as Teachers, including the addition of a bilingual trainer; and the development of a variety of different types of materials (e.g., CDs, print materials, videos, etc.) that provide easily understandable information about Connecticut's academic standards and assessments in both English and Spanish.
North Dakota Parent and Supportive Schools (NDPASS) Project, North Dakota
North Dakota is a sparsely settled state with limited resources to meet the needs of its families and children, many of whom are geographically isolated. NDPASS works closely with state and local agencies and schools to strengthen partnerships between parents and schools to meet the educational needs of young children. The project will continue to expand the information base and network for disseminating information throughout the State of North Dakota, and the project will continue to provide a Parents as Teachers program that includes both direct services to families, as well as training and technical assistance to early childhood professionals interested in starting Parents as Teachers programs.
The project will initiate activities supporting the state's efforts to increase the understanding and awareness of new educational issues related to accountability. NDPASS will work with the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction to develop workshops for parents on the impact of new federal legislation reflected in the No Child Left Behind Act. Issues to be covered include the use of standardized testing, how it will be used in North Dakota, and how the results will be shared with parents. Another workshop will be developed to help parents better understand the standards, benchmarks, and performance assessments that are used in North Dakota and how they relate to their student's learning. NDPASS will also work with the State's Title I personnel and reading first coordinator to develop programs that will increase parental involvement in reading activities.

I know some that mix thier honey with purchased to call it local honey. What % of your honey do you think should be mixed to call it yours and what is the distance you would call local?
I know some that mix thier honey with purchased to call it local honey. What % of your honey do you think should be mixed to call it yours and what is the distance you would call local?
I label my honey as "Pure Raw Oktebbeha County Honey". That way u know what county the bees made it in. Just a thought
Let's ruin any trust we have with the public! If people want crap honey they can get it at walmart.
The failure to act with principles is the great american downfall. Up until the 1950's leadership was about how principled a person you were now it's reduced to "Fake it till you make it." In all things we should be accountable you might get away with mixing your honey but if I found out you did it as a coustomer I wouldn't buy another drop. further more I would tell all my friends and family and random people on the street. Decide if you are a quality producer or a cheat.
I don't understand why anyone would do this, what is accomplished?
would you label it mixed with store bought honey? kinda defeats the purpose of raising your own bee's for honey IMO
I agree, if it's not 100% you might as well just add Corn Syrup and the other crap that the store bought has. If you mix the store crap you are just cheating people that pay for the real stuff.
Disclaimer: I know enough to know I don't know anything yet.
I might be missing something, but the OP stated to mix honey with purchased honey...not specifically with store-bought honey. Packers by definition mix "purchased" honey.
rtoney - could you be more specific about what kind of mixing you're referring to? Are you talking about store-bought honey or honey from other beeks who don't want to market their own product?
Indeed, Silverback asks the key question.
If you're looking to dilute your good local stash with the garbage from Walmart (no offense to Walmart, or the packers that supply them), then the acceptable percentage is ZERO! That would be blatantly dishonest to market US honey as local honey because some of yours is in it.
If you're mixing with your neighbors' stash so they don't have to do the legwork, then just make sure have a handle on where theirs comes from. If it's from your local area, I wouldn't even bother mentioning that it was mixed. If it's beyond 10 miles or so, some reference to origin should be stated. People hold "local" honey in high esteem. Let's not abuse that trust.
After 20 months I'm over a 20 hives and growing. See my videos! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8fVrmUsyYlRuASdX6UQk1g
I have been selling honey by direct store delivery for 20 years. The customer demand outpaces production every year, so I buy honey. I buy honey from friends who produce that honey near me, or in the State. I know them and know how they manage their bees, because I work their bees with them. I buy it from folks I know nand trust and label it under the Squeak Creek Apiaries Label. "Natural North Country Honey from Squeak Creek Apiaries".
The honey is in buckets. I don't make a habit of mixing two buckets of mine w/ two buckets of boughten honey. Too much work to keep track. No one can tell which honey is which, not even me. I don't consider this underhanded or unethical. If someone of y'all do, good for you. You have that luxury. I am making a living from honey sales, such as it is.
So, if anyone wants to judge me or look down their nose at me and my ways, I could care less. Unless you do what I do, don't judge me.
This "Local Honey", "Totally My Honey" can go too far. And limit what an individual can do.
Does anyone critisizer Pepsi for not using only their own produced ingredients? How many of you walk away from a car or truck you really like and want to buy when you find out it isn't totally made by Ford, only made for Ford?
Now, I will agree that one shouldn't buy honey from somewhere definitely not what you consider local, say a NY honey packer bottling honey from California and calling it LOCAL. I label my Varietal Honeys as "Made for you by friends of Squeak Creek Apiaries". I believe that reveals the source as from someone else well enough for those who read labels.

I was of the impression that adulterated honey had indeed found it's way onto US grocery shelves.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Some may have. So, we should paint the whole shelf w/ the same wide brush? If enough people are suspicious, then assurances will be made. But, in the mean time the consumers mind ius negatively effected by all the negative publiciuty. And once that trust is eroded, getting it back is near impossible.
So, if one beekeeper/honey packer wants to make a statement, they'd better be able to back up their claim. imo

So you believe that those who sell should "tak[e] advantage of the consumers confused notions"? Interesting.
Mark Berninghausen
Let me try and slow this down a little.
Maybe my fault for the way it was posted but:
I meant mixing raw honey with raw honey not store bought.
If you are in Missouri and buy raw honey from Iowa or Nebraska or etc and mix it with your honey it is still raw honey but at what % would you call it your honey or local honey.
I am not saying anyone is trying to decieve the customer by mixing raw honey with something that is not raw honey.
Hope this helps to clear this up a bit and back to the first post.
BTW I also agree with sqkcrk that local and my honey can go to far also. If I buy raw honey then it is my raw honey when someone asks Raw Clover is raw Clover honey as long as it is Raw Clover honey.
I have seldom produced as much honey as I can sell. I wish I could.
Markets are hard to find, you can't say, "Sorry, I ran out," you would lose them as a customer.
To keep my markets supplied, I buy honey from other local beekeepers and sell it under my label.
Ask around, it is pretty common to do this and I don't see any problems doing it.
I also don't mix a percent of theirs to mine, it is all still local honey.
The commercial beekeeper gets more $ from me than from the packers, I get to keep my markets supplied which keeps the markets customers supplied. We are all happy.
I heard from a big beekeeper that you can either keep bees or sell honey. If you are selling honey, you are neglecting yours bees, if you are beekeeping, you are neglecting your customers.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Golightly, Apr 19, 2013.
That split pic of tessa is something else. It was quite far from me so its so much better close up.
I dont know who this lady is
Perhaps it's the fake mother in law
How i could forget about this?
I only see a bunch of backstage pics, and the video tab has a video of the cast saying Happy New Year....
Me too.
Oh yea I did notice the big television cameras especially during the practice. Anyways the girl said she will upload the rest of the vids (hopefully not in montage mode).
Haha. I don't know why, but that is hysterical to me that they would have fake in-laws for the shoot.
When I first opened the link it did go to a video media, but I had to close it because my teacher was walking by. Now I have the same problem you and Pani have.
ETA: She uploaded Carmen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhN06Yv7-r4
That's Bettie Bradley, editor of Today's Bride. She used to host a show called "The New You", on City TV Toronto (I think?). I also remember her doing fashion/beauty spots on the old Marilyn Denis show on City.
Oh thank you. That was what I thought initially, but the fake mother-in-law would have worked too lol.
It's certainly funnier!
thanks for posting it! to me it looked like they were getting ahead of the music, even though it's the abbreviated version of carmen, but they still managed to milk every note just to time their ending pose to the end of the music hehehe
Yay! She cut some stuff out... what a tease. I love the placement of the old choreographic lift.
I still prefer the competition version.
Thanks for Carmen video. Is this full version? They need more ice to do this FD.
And I think its first time Tessa and Scott become number 1 in ISU World standing? Congrats to them! Two full seasons now paid off.
Thank you everyone for the videos and pictures. Although, I like the competitive Carmen more (it was just a masterpiece), I find the exhibition Carmen very nice as well.
And pani it is not the full version. Circa 30 seconds at the beginning are missing, because the battery of the camera died and the poster had to change the camera quickly.
Also, great that Tessa and Scott are number 1 again, back where they belong!
and i just hope the momentum would carry on to sochi gold!
I know, right? I am so disappointed now
Tessa and Scott never was number 1 in ISU World standings, because last time.they had 2 full seasons was in 2006-2008.
Thanks. Not enough space for FD like this.
Wow, it's true! Well, I am glad it finally happened even if I don't really care much for these rankings. But it must be nice for your resume, so way to go, guys!
Not to mention that Tessa and Scott do actually cover a LOT of ice so it must be tricky for them to skate when the space is limited. But this program is still a masterpiece, my goodness, I love Carmen SO much. It's the kind of program you never forget.
I remeber they talk about they want to be number one in ranking.
Yes, this ranking isnt important, but i hope this will rice there confidence, when they will remeber, how long they couldnt skate two full seasons and how much they won during this 2 years.
That is true I guess that why the exhibition version is slower.
Also, why burn yourself out. The audience isn't judging anyone based on that criteria. There may even be a safety issue involved with SOI shows. With the boards removed, what happens if a skater falls/skids across the ice blade first into the audience who are sitting at ice level? Would the carpeting provide sufficient resistance to stop the skid?
Somebody know, why Finlandia Throhy not listed in ISU events list?
There's probably a mistake, Finlandia Trophy will be Oct 4-6.
I think because Finlandia Trophy (or any other B-competition) is not hosted by the ISU in cooperation with the respective national federation. But the scores and results are recognized by the ISU and therefore show show up in the World Ranking or are a possibility for skaters to gain the minimum scores before entering the Grand Prix events. But it is taking place according their website:
Last season was more seriose B competitions - in Minsk, USA.
I think D-W will go to Nebelhorn and V-M could skate at Thornhill Throhy or in Finlandia.
Will you go, Marikat?
Thank you!
I hope they are doing Finlandia Trophy. The (non-geoblocked) coverage of the event was great and we got so many pictures and interviews with them. Finland seems to like them and they had a good experience there. Additionally, there are international judges so they could get some valuable feedback on both their programs.
Yep, I'll try to go to FT.

Reviews of this property
It was a pleasure to stay here. The place is right in the old city centre and you can reach is very well by bus as well by foot. Richard was the perfect host, very friendly and helpful and gave us some good tips for the area.
The place has a character and situated in the heart of Lisbon so every time you coming out you feel the spirit of old town and feels like local. House is one of old and historical building which is so many in the City.
And the place is big and has all modern amenities so you don't have a problem if you want to cook or enjoy hot shower.
Very interesting flat
Richard is a great host,
It was easy to get the keys, the appartment had everything you need like towls, coffee machine etc. Not the newest equipment but sufficient. The location of the appartment is great. It's right at one of the most poular view points of Lissabon with lots of places to eat or just go out in the neighborhood. Even though the appartment is at one of the hot spots to go out it is very quiet. The appartment itself and the furniture has come to age and it is darker than it looks on the fotos.
I had a lovely 2 night stay in this authentic Lisbon apartment! It is located in the Bairro Alto but in one of the calmer streets which means having a blast in the quarters full streets is just a few minutes away from a nice and calm sleep. :)
I felt like a native in this apartment as it is furnished in this great authentic Lisbon style. Richard was a great host, all the communication was really quick and easy.
Thanks Richard for this great experience. I'm sure it was not my last visit in this fantastic city!
We were delighted with our stay in Lisbon and Richard's apartment is not foreign to this impression.
Our host was able to make himself available for mail exchanges, and recovery of keys, easy, despite our late arrived.
The apartment is warm, tastefully decorated, a little wet, practical, ideally located in a lively area, with many shops, a few minutes walk from the city center.
We recommend Richard's apartment to tourists seeking to visit Lisbon.
Nous avons été enchanté par notre séjour à Lisbonne et l'appartement de Richard n'est pas étranger à cette bonne impression.
Notre hôte a su se montrer disponible pour les échanges de mails, et la récupération des clefs, facile, malgré notre arrivé tardive.
L'appartement est chaleureux, décoré avec goût, un peu humide,pratique, idéalement situé, dans un quartier vivant, disposant de nombreux commerces de proximité, à quelques minutes à pied du centre ville.
Nous recommandons l'appartement de Richard aux touristes cherchant à visiter Lisbonne.
Large apartment in the heart of a picturesque area, great location. I recommend ++++++
A very nice stay in this country.
And the owner, Richard, very friendly and nice. It is also very available.
The whole family enjoyed this person.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again.
Grand appartement au cœur d'un quartier pittoresque, super bien placé. Je recommande ++++++
Un très beau séjour dans ce pays.
Et le propriétaire, Richard, très sympathique, et agréable. Il est également très disponible.
Toute la famille a beaucoup apprécié cette personne.
Au plaisir de vous revoir.
We were 3 friends; due to a technical problem we could not stay in the apartment originally selected "cozy patio with" but Richard has directed us to another equivalent renovated apartment and clear.
Nous étions 3 amies ; suite à un problème technique nous n'avons pas pu loger dans l'appartement initialement retenu "cosy avec patio" mais Richard nous a orientées vers un autre appartement équivalent refait à neuf et clair.
Very good location in a quiet street near the historic areas of Lisbon.
Apartment in the old well appointed and tastefully decorated.
A little dark, but is part of the picturesque and ancient charm.
Comfortable and well equipped, we spent a very good time.
Richard was very welcoming and attentive to our requests.
Très bonne situation dans une rue calme et proche des quartiers historiques de Lisbonne.
Appartement dans l'ancien bien aménagé et décoré avec goût.
Un peu sombre, mais fait partie du pittoresque et du charme de l'ancien.
Confortable et bien équipé, nous y avons passé un très bon séjour.
Richard a été très accueillant et à l'écoute de nos demandes.
A recommander.
I was staying in this flat with 3 friends for 5 nights and it was great, perfectly situated so everything was really close and there are lot of nice bars around but in the street itself it is really quiet. We only saw Richard the first day but that was because we organized ourselves, if we had needed anything we could have contacted him, he was very nice and helpful.

Archived exhibitions are no longer available for booking but are maintained as a virtual record of past Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) programs.
"Art is about choices," says music critic Peter Guralnick, one of the exhibition's contributers. A photographer chooses to be engaged by a subject and that subject chooses to let his guard down. Al Wertheimer chose to capture 21-year-old Elvis Presley on the threshold of super stardom not because he was a fan, but because he was a student of human nature, because he was curious and because, like Elvis, he could be swept up by the purity of experience. That unscripted eloquence resulted in photographs so unique that they remind us why Elvis matters.
What is so remarkable about Wertheimer's documentary portraits of Elvis is how fresh and contemporary the pictures still seem, utterly unlike any other portraits of this endlessly scrutinized figure.
Elvis at 21, Photogaphs by Alfred Wertheimer reveals images without a hint of irony or visual comment. We are scarcely aware of the photographer, though he is always present. We are there before Elvis became an icon and constant security created walls between him and his fans.
Forty large-format Wertheimer photographs chronicle Elvis's dazzling emergence in a pivotal year, 1956. Created by master printer David Adamson, these 36 x 48" pigment prints radiate a richness and depth that make Elvis's road to fame palpable. With cinematic luminosity, the Wertheimer photographs document a remarkable time when Elvis could sit alone at a drugstore lunch counter.
Elvis at 21, Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer was developed collaboratively by the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, and Govinda Gallery, and is sponsored by HISTORY™.
We've had a great year! In 2010, we've seen a 23% increase in attendance over the same period in 2009 . . . and we can attribute much of that uptick to the exhibit. Elvis at 21 has been a wonderful addition to our museum experience. —The Grammy Museum, Los Angeles
I just want to say how lovely the exhibit is. The crates are lovely. The photos are lovely. The graphics on the walls are lovely . . . It's been a classy experience all around, and it reminded us of how our jobs should be done.
—William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, Little Rock

New Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Shows Elvis Before He Was "The King of Rock 'n' Roll
Photojournalist Alfred Wertheimer was hired by RCA Victor in 1956 to shoot promotional images of a recently signed 21-year-old recording artist, Elvis Presley. Wertheimer's instincts to "tag along" with the artist after the assignment and the resulting images provide us today with a look at Elvis before he exploded onto the scene and became one of the most exciting performers of his time. Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer, a new Smithsonian traveling exhibition, presents 56 of these striking images and will debut at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles January 8, 2010, Elvis's 75th birthday.
Developed collaboratively by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and the Govinda Gallery, Elvis at 21 will be on view at The Grammy Museum through March 28, 2010. Following its showing in Los Angeles, the exhibition will travel to museums around the country through 2013. Elvis at 21 is sponsored nationally by The History channel.
Wertheimer had unparalleled access and documented Elvis on the road, backstage, in concert, in the recording studio and at home in Memphis, Tenn. "Colonel" Tom Parker, Elvis's manager, restricted contact just a short time later. The photographs document a remarkable time when Elvis could sit alone at a drugstore lunch counter.
"Henri Cartier-Bresson was known for photographing what he called the 'decisive moment,' that moment when everything falls into place," said Wertheimer. "But I was more interested in the moments before or after the decisive moment." Wertheimer was up close to capture a flirtatious encounter with a young woman backstage in Richmond, Virginia. He was in the New York City recording studio on the historic day Elvis recorded "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hound Dog." Both songs hit No. 1 on the charts, the first and only time a single record would achieve this distinction.
Wertheimer also joined Elvis after the recording session as he traveled home to Memphis by train. One image shows Elvis as just part of the crowd surrounding a lunch vendor on a train platform during a brief stop on the 27-hour trip. The anonymity he had during this stop was short-lived; the trip followed a busy few months when Elvis appeared on the television shows "Stage Show," "The Milton Berle Show" and "The Steve Allen Show." The photographs of a concert in Russwood Park on his return to Memphis show a young man who now had to have a police escort to get through the crowd of fans between his car and the stadium.
Elvis at 21 is accompanied by a richly illustrated catalog, titled "Elvis 1956," available through Welcome Books. SITES has been sharing the wealth of Smithsonian collections and research programs with millions of people outside Washington, D.C., for more than 55 years. SITES connects Americans to their shared cultural heritage through a wide range of exhibitions about art, science and history, which are shown wherever people live, work and play.
The History channel is a leading destination for revealing, award-winning, original non-fiction series and event-driven specials that connect history with viewers. Programming covers a diverse variety of historical genres ranging from military history to contemporary history, technology to natural history, as well as science, archaeology and pop culture.
Located in Washington, D.C., the Govinda Gallery exhibits one of the largest collections of music photography in the world. Over 30 years, the gallery has organized more than 200 exhibitions of many of the nation's leading artists. It has featured Wertheimer's work in several exhibitions, including his first major one-person exhibition in 1997.
The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery tells the stories of America through the individuals who have shaped its culture. Through the visual arts, performing arts and new media, the Portrait Gallery portrays poets and presidents, visionaries and villains, actors and activists who speak American history. The museum's collection of nearly 20,000 works ranges from paintings and sculpture to photographs and drawings.
Paying tribute to music's rich cultural history, The Grammy Museum explores and celebrates the enduring legacies of all forms of music, the creative process, the art and technology of the recording process and the history of the premier recognition of excellence in recorded music—the Grammy Award. Located in downtown Los Angeles, the museum features 30,000 square feet of interactive and multimedia exhibits.

SCAD dean named one of Most Admired Educators in America
Victor Ermoli joined SCAD 13 years ago, and he is currently dean of the SCAD School of Design.
Recently named by DesignIntelligence as one of the 25 "Most Admired Educators" in America, SCAD's Victor Ermoli was born in Venezuela, grew up in Canada, holds a patent for a type of Venetian blinds, loves bow ties and can never look at a product without thinking about how SCAD students can make it better.
Dean of the SCAD School of Design, Ermoli is honored in DesignIntelligence's 2011 edition of "America's Best Architecture & Design Schools," which also ranked the SCAD undergraduate and graduate interior design programs among the top in the nation. For Ermoli, who came to SCAD in 1998 as chair of the industrial design department and was named dean in 2005, being recognized for "exemplifying excellence is design education leadership" was a humbling and delightful moment made more special by the fact that the distinction came based, in part, on input from hundreds of his peers across the design and academic worlds, as well as students.
"I am honored that the DesignIntelligence jurors, along with my faculty and students, felt that I deserved this recognition," Ermoli said. "The honor really should be shared by the exceptional students and professors in the SCAD School of Design. SCAD's unique student-centered environment fosters innovation, intellectual wonder and critical problem-solving - motivating me to always challenge myself to do my best."
During Ermoli's 13 years at SCAD, he has helped the industrial design department and the entire SCAD School of Design earn international acclaim for collaborating with top corporations on research and development projects, marketing and sales plans and the creation of entirely new products. Last academic year, students in the SCAD School of Design worked on 31 industry-sponsored projects, gaining professional, real-world experience and contributing their ingenuity to businesses around the world.
"My hope is that the DesignIntelligence honor will help illuminate the exceptional academic work taking place at SCAD," said Ermoli, who notes that there are several projects in the works. "SCAD students are full of imagination."
The SCAD School of Design, which has received praise and top nationwide rankings from publications such as BusinessWeek and DesignIntelligence, includes world-class programs in design for sustainability, design management, fibers, furniture design, industrial design, metals and jewelry, and service design.

We are very pleased to announce our partnership with the Guine-Bissau Rush Academy, a new venture that will start in March 2013. The West African country is ready to join our club after months of hard work and dedication. The Academy will primarily work with players aged between 14 and 18 years old.
The short term goal for Guine-Bissau Rush is to develop an academy program to support talented soccer players from across the country giving them the chance to practice their favorite sport. The next step for Guine-Bissau Rush will consist in setting up a structured program in schools, colleges and universities linked to clubs in Guine-Bissau, Europe and United States.
During 2012, Guine-Bissau Rush Academy General Director Causo Seidi, began delivering his Soccer Program to players in different schools and clubs. Mr. Seidi also made links with coaches and administrators to establish a solid structure for Guinean academy.

Now, Guine-Bissau is part of our club and they are in the position to launch the Guine-Bissau Rush Academy.
Rob Williams, Director of Coaching Education Support, will assist the Guine-Bissau Rush Academy from the UK. Mr. Williams will share his expertise with the Guinean academy developing links with professional clubs and scouts.Rush Soccer is proud to present our latest international partner and pledges to assist the Guine-Bissau Rush Academy. Welcome aboard!

The Scorpion Racing Products UMP DirtCar Open-Wheel Modifieds have belonged to Kyle Bronson and Hammond Motorsports so far in 2012. Bronson won the first 4 events in 2012 while drivers like Ron Burgess, Barry Sheffield, and Scott Mooers took big top-5 finishes. "4-Time" Jeff Mathews missed a few events early on for personal reasons but is back and fighting hard. Wayne Hammond ended "The Killer's" Perfect Season with a big win on May 5th. Of course, Bronson blew the motor half-way through that race while leading. A couple weeks later Bronson had another dismal night as Buzzie Reutimann charged to Coors Light Victory Lane with Dalton Lanich right behind. Lanich, the young driver out of Bunnell, is doing plenty with just enough as they are behind the 8 ball in terms of horsepower. Bronson returned on June 2nd with the 2 Mathews Motorsports cars behind in a 'tide-has-shifted-my-way' night. Throughout 2012 many young drivers have shown their skills and Tyler Clem is no exception. He has 5 top-10s in his very young career (8 starts) with a best finish of 8th twice. On the 23rd as NASCAR visited the road course on the West Coast David Reutimann, driver for Tommy Baldwin Racing's #10, visited and showed Bronson how things are run. Behind Bronson that night was 'The Gunslinger' Garret Stewart who has aligned with the Chris Williams #2 team; top-5s are expectation from both driver and owner and wins are around the corner. Mark Whitener won the last time around when Bronson broke in a back-up car (while leading) and the 58 was fast! A brilliant season is up ahead as young Bronson must hold off Rich Pratt, Lanich, Jim Passino, and Mathews. Oh, by the way, those 4 are still winless in 2012.
The new division at Bubba Raceway Park, the Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models (former Sportsman), is all new. Well, almost. Kevin Mills opened up the season in spectacular fashion as he held off Eddie Gainey in a thrilling finish for his first ever win on the 1/3 mile in Ocala. JO Nobles put the 18 back in Coors Light Victory Lane at the end of March as Gainey was again bridesmaid. Gainey would not be denied 2 weeks later as he held off Adam Higginbotham and Bubba Clem in what is both driver's career best. Nobles won the Saturday night race as 2 young drivers, Caleb and Christian McGillivray, made their debuts and impressed with solid nights. Nobles again won 2 weeks later. Gainey got back to the top on May 12th by beating Forrest Gough as Caleb bested brother Christian in the Battle of the Brothers. Nobles could not let Gainey go unanswered and struck back in a 2-man fight that has lasted so far. Gainey won June 1st but couldn't buy a break on the 2nd (he finished 8th by sheer will) as "Budda" Kyle Chappell put his 66 in Coors Light Victory Lane over Gough and David Showers, Jr. Nobles won last time around as he beat Carter Stokes, a first-timer on dirt, with a last lap pass in turn 3. It, however, is Gainey with the last laugh as he leads Nobles by over 50 points. These 2 will duke it out to the end as Forrest Gough, Higginbotham, and David Showers, Sr. try to get back into the hunt.
Hobby Stock racers Trevor Gamble and Rodney Wright know each other. They pass each other in Coors Light Victory Lane because they keep going back and forth. Gamble wins 1 so Wright has to win 1. Wright started the season off in 2nd place because Josh Bedenbaugh won as Gamble was out early. Wright was off pace the next week as Gamble was runner-up to Tim Gay. Defending champion Tim Powers could only muster up a 3rd place on that night. Gamble struck gold on the 17th with a big win; Wright got points with 4th. Tim Gay won the April 7th event with 4 hungry drivers behind him in Howard O'Steen, Mike Stalnaker, Brian Shea, and John Clark. Shea and Stalnaker, rookies after a couple years in Thunderstocks, have impressed so far and could break through with big wins. This night Gamble and Wright both retired early. Gamble won on the 14th with Gay and Wright behind making it 2-2-0 on wins between the 3. That lasted all of 2 weeks when Gamble stole the show again on the 28th with ringers "Shady" Grady Christian and Kevin Durden in tow. "Ragin Rodney" would not be denied for much longer- May 5th- for that big win as he made a statement by dominating Gamble for a win. He won a non-points event the next week with step-father Mark Maresca right behind him as both drove masterfully. Rodney became Mr. May as he won on the 19th. At this point Gamble led by 1 point over Wright. That changed on June 1st as Wright finished 2nd to Tim Powers with Gamble in 3rd. On June 16th Kevin Durden made the trip out and won in an odd race. Wright and Gamble had a tussle out of turn 4. Long story short- Wright was DQ'd; Gamble had a flat tire. Durden had a flat very early and was slowly making his way up through the pack. Later in the event Gamble and Howard O'Steen led with under 5 laps to go. Long story short- O'Steen was DQ'd; Gamble had a flat tire. With 2-laps left the order was: Durden, Maresca, Josh Hughes (in Don Woosley's 81), and Mick Kulak. Maresca would spin moving the other 2 up in a big finish for all. Josh Byrd and Mike Stalnaker duked it out last time out as Gamble had an engine problem and Wright flattened a tire half-way through. Byrd won, Wright rebounded, and Stalnkaer finished 3rd in a Michael Jordan-flu-game type effort. Part of the youth movement is Hunter Gustafson. He is coming off of 2 consecutive top-5s and looks very strong in the 15 machine. Gamble now leads by just 11. Stalnaker is well off the front in 3rd, Maresca (who has been traveling from Minneapolis, MN the past month) is 4th, and Shea is 5th even after missing the past few weeks of action.
In a division that will run around 35 events in 2012 it's Brian Mullins leading the way. The 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks have been interesting, to say the least, so far. Chad Scranton took Cheater Racing to the top early on in 2012 winning races 1, 3, and 5 (he did not race in the other 2). Shane Nichols and Jason Gamble would strike in those 2 as the veterans made Coors Light Victory Lane their's early on. Mike Stalnaker and Donnie Dobbins took rare top-3 finishes early as 1 moved out of the division and the other has had more bad luck than Dale Earnhardt in the late 90's. On the 14th Jason Gamble made a late race pass on Eddie Kilbury, Jr. for the win. Hold on, though! Gamble's Certified Auto Repair #21 was found illegal as was 2nd place finisher Scott Haas' #3. Kilbury had slipped to 3rd but left the winner after troubles for Gamble and Haas! The next race saw the same as Brandon Elwood crossed the line 1st after a crash that forced a yellow flag finish. 'Popeye' Mark Trexler took his first top-5 and win the same night with a great run after Elwood's 28 was found illegal. Shane Nichols ended the DQ's as he passed Justin 'Bubba' Durbin and blocked the rest of the race. "Flash" Jonathan Appleby joined Trexler as a first-timer on May 12th in a dominant performance. Chad Scrnaton would win the following week after "Flash" was found illegal. On the 26th they would run 2 features- "Shady" Grady Christian won the first with Gamble 2nd. Christian would lead lap 19 of the 2nd but spun in turn 1 as Scranton and Gamble flew by. Scranton won and Gamble would have to settle for 2nd again. On the 2nd of June, Appleby returned to Coors Light Victory Lane. "One Shot" Mike Tovet beat Scranton in a thriller as he went from B-Main winner to A-Main winner and brought B-Main runner-up Dean Jarvis up to 3rd. Since lap 4 on June 23rd Jonathan Appleby has led across the stripe- a run of nearly 40 laps! Appleby hopes to run this streak forever as Brian Mullins, John Thorpe, and Brandon Elwood look for their first wins in quite a while. Mullins leads the standings by 34 over Gamble and 55 over "Flash." The 2 trailing are winning big but "Bubba" Durbin and John Thorpe are flying through the field and could catch them in what is set to be a wild finish to the 2012 season!
Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks have had a rough year but Buddy Pope hasn't when he's on track. Pope started 2012 off with 3 wins-in-a-row before he had troubles which let Shirlene Hammond win a feature. Hammond would go back-to-back before Nick Kerr took a big win. Kerr's win was a feel good story and the picture of him with his son in Coors Light Victory Lane tells all. Hammond returned and made it 3-for-3 so far before Kerr and Pope each took 1 more win. Reid Christensen in a car that looks like a Daytona Prototype leads the standings while Charlie Staats is 2nd by 16 and Pope sits just 30 back. Nick Kerr and Travis Staats are just over 100 back and round out a tough top 5. This division has been exciting and nothing less is expected in the run to a title!
Rent-N-Roll Gladiator drivers have been exciting the fans so far in 2012. A brilliant run saw 'Terrific' Tony LaPorta beat the S&S Roofing boys on the first night but Steve Cox "The Old Fox" returned to Coors Light Victory Lane the next week. Randy Harless would take his maiden win on April 7th and "Scooby-Doo" Steve Johnson took his first ever checkered flag a week later (though he had won by DQ before). On the 5th it was LaPorta who bested Billy Holmes near the end and "Rockin" Reid Christensen would make the pass for 2nd. Just 2 weeks later Holmes would hold on while LaPorta would slip to 3rd! "Rockin Reid" would settle, again, for 2nd. Holmes won again at the non-points event on the 26th leaving Christensen winless into June. "Rockin Reid" didn't even go 1 winless day in June as he took the trophy on the 1st. LaPorta would dominate on the 16th as well as just last week when the rest of the top 5 barely beat him out in combined age- a testament to LaPorta's fight and the ability of the Youth in the Rent-N-Roll Gladiators. LaPorta leads the fight with Reid Christensen 40 back. Christensen has declared for Mini Stock points meaning Steve Johnson, 76 out of 1st, may inherit 2nd later on. Brandon Haseleu is 4th and Jordan McMillon completes the top 5. Both drivers have yet to win in 2012 or receive their driver's license and both hope the win comes first.
The Twisted Tea Top Gun Sprints saw a big shake up as Danny Martin, Jr. did NOT win. Okay, he finished 2nd with a new team as Matt Kurtz took a huge win. The following race Martin struck big. Stephen Darvalics, driver of Martin's old car, was runner-up. On May 5th Gene Lasker led 24 laps and Kurtz led just 1 but it was the 1 that pays as he became the first 2-time winner in a Sprint Car in the Bubba Clem Era not named Danny Martin, Jr. Kurtz would go back-to-back a couple weeks later but on the 16th Mark Ruel, Jr. put 150% of himself on the line and it worked as he used lapped traffic to pass Robbie Smith. Ruel leads the Twisted Tea Top Gun Sprint Cars BRP Points by 8 over Kurtz. Ryan Partin sits 22 out of 1st which equals 11 finishing spots. Andrew Griffin and Tony Agin complete an unexpected top 5. Who will collect that trophy and celebrate in Coors Light Victory Lane at season's end?
You will not want to miss the second half of the 2012 season at Bubba Raceway Park! Championship fights start getting hotter every week. For more information check out www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call the Speedway at 352-622-9400!

I found a 7 1/4" saw blade at my local Lowe's that's made for cutting nails. Its made by DeWalt and sells for $10.97 plus tax here in OK. If you have old brood supers that the bottom 1/2" is rotted out, you can use the blade in a table saw to cut the super down to honey super size.
I cut mine down into 2" segments, nail a 1/4" piece of plywood on the bottom and cut a hole in the middle. Glue a block of 2x4 with a hole in it over the hole in the middle and you have a feeder that works great for bee candy.
My bee candy feeders go on in August and get changed in February. I don't have to worry about the bees starving and I can usually find sugar cheap enough to handle 7 hives (approx. 170 lbs per year).

Last week I brought home a frame from a harvester/trap out that was loaded full of bees, and they had capped queen cells on the frame--which is why I brought it home. I have it in a 5 frame nuk-- that frame, a frame that had about half capped honey (I'd cut out half for comb honey) and an empty drawn frame to keep up against the other 2 frames for containment. I have a robber screen on the nuk.
My math tells me that if they survived the move and if bees didn't tear down cells, they will emerge no later than tomorrow. I'd like to add more bees to the mix.
I'm thinking a frame of bees from another hive. Or a shake of bees, not sure that's what I'm asking.
At this point, what would be the safest way to add bees to the mix? I'm leaning towards a frame with different stages of brood and its adhering bees? Spray with sugar water? Set them apart from their original hive for a few hours before adding so they don't kill queen?
I don't know how queen rearing will even go this time of year. I'm going to watch for drone population around the nuk because last time I had queen cells in a castle at this same spot, I knew when there was a virgin queen because of all the drones hanging out at the box. I don't even know if the queen cells are ok right now because I haven't looked since I moved them here.
I sure would like to take a peek.

The Perfect Getaway for Any Occasion: Board a Charter Cruise
Last Updated: 6/30/2013
Wisconsin is a state of water sports, thanks to numerous lakes and miles of picturesque shoreline. For a simple summer getaway, head for the waves. Charter cruises are easy to book and cater to any taste, from cocktails and brunch to historic sites and even fireworks. Whether you're planning a wedding or just need a few hours in the open air, any occasion is made more special with a view from the water.
Here are a few of our favorite Wisconsin boat cruises:
Lake Geneva: Take in the area's gracious scenery on a Lake Geneva Day Cruise. Sightseers will enjoy views of Geneva's grand estates, including Black Point. Or try the popular U.S. Mailboat Tour, a summer tradition in which one very quick mailperson hops on and off the boat to make deliveries.
Lake Michigan: What better way to spend the afternoon than watching the iconic wings of the Milwaukee Art Museum? Blue Max Charters offers a Calatrava-focused day cruise, and a special evening sail that allows revelers an upfront view of Summerfest fireworks.
Lake Superior: Superior's Apostle Islands are a haven of beaches and cliffs. For narrated tours of the region, including a visit to the Raspberry Island lighthouse, call Apostle Islands Cruise Service to book a quick day trip.
Lake Monona: In addition to Madison's beautiful waterfront walks, and the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center, visitors can enjoy charters on Lake Monona for brunch, cocktails and special events.
Mississippi River: The Mighty Miss snakes through a few Wisconsin ports, including LaCrosse and Prairie du Chien. Indulge your inner naturalist with an eco-friendly river tour, and enjoy a slice of classic Americana.
Booking a cruise is easy. Be sure to make reservations in advance, and check with the boat before heading out for any changes. Let us know if you have any questions below and get ready to set sail!This entry was posted in Things to Do

Town Square
Soaring college costs prompt questions
Original post made by Tim Hunt, Castlewood, on Aug 14, 2012
States, caught with revenues dipping, have reduced support so the many state universities (California's included) have raised tuition to close the budget gap. The private institutions have steadily marched tuition upward for decades. One study showed that the cost of attending higher education has soared 112 percent since 2000.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the higher costs are hitting more affluent families who make six figures, but find themselves choking when the institution informs them of just how much they are expected to contribute the their children's higher education costs. Borrowing for these families has increased by 25 percent in just four years.
For instance, the cost to attend Notre Dame is $58,000 annually. Even with a very generous 50 percent grant, that's still pushing $110,000 for the family. Stanford, for tuition alone, is $41,250, while fees at Cal are $11,200. The latter numbers do not include books and room-and-board.
That leading to the welcome change of parents asking just how much value comes with a degree from that top tier university—particularly if it's a liberal arts degree instead of engineering, computer science or another hard science.
State legislators are starting to push back against the fee increases—of course doing so without providing any additional money. Some studies are showing that both private and public universities have grown administrative and support staff considerably in the last two decades without adding teaching personnel. That's overhead that can and should be chopped.
It's well past time that the universities tightened their belts instead of simply raising rates.
Incidentally, President Obama has floated a truly ugly idea. When the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, the federal government took over the student loan program and eliminated the private sector.
So, what is the president proposing—that graduates who owe private institutions for student loans be able to declare bankruptcy and eliminate that debt. The law was changed not that long ago so people could not use bankruptcy to wipe out college debt or simply walk away from the obligation. Now the president is proposing changing that—but only for debt held by private firms, not for debt issued by the government.
Sounds painfully similar to what he did to the bondholders in the engineered auto industry bankruptcies.

Not one comment on the impact the increase of debt access and the explosion of education debt has had the price of college. What happens to the price of a good when the dollars chasing doubles? The price of that good doubles.
Take away the easy credit and college tuition prices will come down. So what if a kid can't afford to go to the expensive private school of his/her choice. They end up going to a less expensive public school and life goes on.
When you have a government guarantee behind education debt, no one really cares about the ability of the applicant to pay the money back. The current intent of government's agenda on this front is to keep the spiket open and then socialize the cost of bad education debt across all of us.
Come on Tim, you can do better than this. Or if you can't, get a new job.

Damon J. Keith Collection Exhibit Currently on Display at IUPUI
DETROIT (Jan. 23, 2008) – Marching Toward Justice: The History of the 14th Amendment will enlighten yet another community as it visits Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) until Feb. 29, 2008.
The exhibit, sponsored at IUPUI by Citizens Gas Company of Indiana, will be featured as part of the opening celebration of IUPUI's new Campus Center Building, as well as a tribute to Justice Thurgood Marshall. It will also be part of IUPUI's Black History Month Celebration.
An opening ceremony took place at IUPUI on Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2008. Wayne State University Law School Assistant Professor of Law (Clinical) and Director of the Damon J. Keith Collection Dana A. Roach spoke at the opening ceremony about the conception and history of the exhibit, as well as the history of the Damon J. Keith Collection.
The Marching Toward Justice exhibit was created by the Damon J. Keith Collection to inform the public about the fundamental importance of the 14th Amendment and our nation's ongoing quest to realize the high ideals of the Declaration of Independence. It tells the story of our government's promotion of justice and equality for some, while condoning the enslavement of others.
The 14th Amendment's ratification in 1868 created a dramatic and fundamental break from the past by promising full protection to all American citizens, regardless of race, social status, gender, or conflicting state laws. It was a significant step toward fulfilling the American Revolution's promise that all men are created equal and entitled to full and equal protection under the law.
Since the inaugural exhibition at the Thurgood Marshall Law Center in Washington, D.C., the exhibit has traveled to more than 30 sites including San Francisco, Chicago, Topeka Kansas, Boston, Dallas, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Please contact Professor Dana Roach at (313) 577-3961 or email@example.com to schedule the Marching Toward Justice Exhibit in your community.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year.
